Chapter 145
\nHe Never Noticed Me Until I Loved Someone Else novel Chapter 145<\/p>\n
Before Stella could even react, Sebastian quickly let go. To cover his sudden fluster, he cleared his throat and asked, “Are you alright, Stella?”<\/p>\n
Still riding the high of finally knocking the birdie down, Stella didn’t notice his awkwardness.<\/p>\n
“I’m perfectly fine!” She offered a brilliant smile, genuinely surprised. “Sebastian! What are you doing here?”<\/p>\n
Her eyes were curved in a bright, happy crescent, her cheeks flushed a vibrant pink, and a faint, glowing sheen of sweat dusted her forehead.<\/p>\n
He had run into her a few times, but this was the first time he had seen her looking so carefree.<\/p>\n
When she had stumbled into him, her hair had brushed against his face, leaving a lingering, delicate scent in the air.<\/p>\n
He suddenly felt a rush of warmth. “I\u2014”<\/p>\n
“Thank you! Bye-bye!”<\/p>\n
The girls’ cheerful voices interrupted him.<\/p>\n
Stella waved at them. “Bye!”<\/p>\n
Sebastian used the brief distraction to compose himself.<\/p>\n
“I was just taking some photos around here. I saw you trying to get the birdie and came over to help, but it looks like you handled it like a pro.”<\/p>\n
He flashed a grin and gave her a thumbs-up. “Impressive.”<\/p>\n
Stella felt a little embarrassed by the praise. For a tall guy like Sebastian, it would have taken nothing more than a simple reach to grab the birdie.<\/p>\n
“Are you into photography?” she asked, smoothly shifting the topic.<\/p>\n
Sebastian chuckled. “Whenever I’m out of ideas, I like to walk around and take pictures. It helps clear my head.”<\/p>\n
He gestured down the path. “There’s a great coffee shop just up ahead. Would you want to grab a cup?” he invited.<\/p>\n
Stella hadn’t forgotten that he had helped her out before. Since her schedule was clear, she nodded. “I’d love to.”<\/p>\n
The cafe was right by the water, boasting a fantastic view.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-3433","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/3433","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=3433"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
