Chapter 142
\nHe Never Noticed Me Until I Loved Someone Else novel Chapter 142<\/p>\n
Maybe Jarrod was just giving Stella some basic respect for Grandpa Fuller’s sake. That thought finally managed to soothe Seraphina’s nerves.<\/p>\n
Stella had spent years rejecting her and her mother. There was no way Seraphina wanted to see her living happily ever after.<\/p>\n
…<\/p>\n
Stella and Summer walked out of the mall.<\/p>\n
“I can’t believe you,” Summer teased. “You see your husband and you run the other way! Didn’t you buy a tie clip for him? Why didn’t you just give it to him?”<\/p>\n
Stella lightly tapped her own forehead. “Good point.”<\/p>\n
She quickly called Jarrod’s driver. Learning that he was indeed waiting in the parking garage, Stella walked over and handed him the elegant gift box.<\/p>\n
“He’s busy right now, but please give this to him later.”<\/p>\n
Summer watched the entire exchange in disbelief.<\/p>\n
Afterward, the two of them visited an antique watch and glassware boutique, where Summer picked out a vintage Swiss pocket watch worth thousands of dollars.<\/p>\n
Summer mentioned that Lucca had recently taken an interest in vintage watches, and she wanted to surprise him.<\/p>\n
Back in college, Summer had been a brilliant architecture major, winning numerous awards. But she had given up a lucrative career in design to become Lucca’s secretary, only taking on the occasional freelance gig.<\/p>\n
Stella knew Summer had a solid nest egg, but dropping that much money on a single gift made Stella cringe on her behalf.<\/p>\n
Summer didn’t mind at all. She smiled and said, “Isn’t this what love is? As long as he’s happy, I’d give him everything I have. Didn’t you do the same for Logan…”<\/p>\n
Realizing her slip, Summer looked apologetic. “Stella, I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to bring up bad memories.”<\/p>\n
Hearing Logan’s name still brought a faint ache to Stella’s chest.<\/p>\n
But she had thought it through. Romance simply wasn’t her top priority anymore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-3430","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/3430","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3430"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
