Chapter 162
\nHe Never Noticed Me Until I Loved Someone Else novel Chapter 162<\/p>\n
Julian pleaded, “Ms. Rhodes, couldn’t you give me a little hint?”<\/p>\n
Summer was genuinely taken aback by how overly familiar Julian was acting.<\/p>\n
They had known each other for less than a minute, and he was already pestering her about Stella’s private thoughts?<\/p>\n
How on earth did an arrogant, icy man like Jarrod end up with such an aggressively extroverted friend!<\/p>\n
“Julian, back off,” Sebastian finally intervened. “That question is way out of line.”<\/p>\n
“I’m just out of options here!”<\/p>\n
Julian sighed heavily. “You saw it last night. Jarrod is clearly falling for her, but the guy is too stubbornly proud to admit it. As his friend, I have to step in and help, right?”<\/p>\n
Summer finally understood. Julian had noticed Jarrod’s feelings and was trying to sabotage the impending divorce.<\/p>\n
While Summer personally believed staying married to Jarrod was Stella’s best strategic move right now…<\/p>\n
Stella had made her absolute desire to leave crystal clear, and Summer refused to play matchmaker against her friend’s wishes.<\/p>\n
So, Summer merely offered a polite smile. “I think it’s best if they handle their own relationship. As friends, our job is simply to respect their decisions.”<\/p>\n
Since she had drawn a firm line, Julian couldn’t push the issue any further.<\/p>\n
“Ms. Rhodes, let’s at least exchange numbers. It might be helpful if we need to keep each other in the loop about them.”<\/p>\n
Fearing rejection, Julian quickly added, “Or, setting them aside entirely, we could just be friends?”<\/p>\n
Summer chuckled softly and went ahead and added Julian’s number.<\/p>\n
Julian looked incredibly pleased with himself. “Thanks! If you’re free today, you should bring Stella along and we can all grab dinner!”<\/p>\n
Summer politely declined. “She’s swamped with SD Apparel. Forget today, she probably won’t have time to breathe for the foreseeable future.”<\/p>\n
