Chapter 166
\nHe Never Noticed Me Until I Loved Someone Else novel Chapter 166<\/p>\n
Afterward, Jarrod had an assistant deliver a brand-new phone to Jasper. Leaving him with a few stern warnings, he and Stella finally exited the campus.<\/p>\n
Night had already fallen, painting the sky a deep velvet black.<\/p>\n
Jarrod glanced over at her. “You must be starving. What do you want to eat?”<\/p>\n
“Mrs. Whitby probably has dinner ready. I’ll just eat at The Sterling Residences,” she replied.<\/p>\n
“Then I’ll head back with you,” he stated smoothly.<\/p>\n
Stella couldn’t shake the feeling that his phrasing was dangerously intimate.<\/p>\n
Suddenly, the searing memory of the previous night’s incident flooded her mind, making the tips of her ears burn.<\/p>\n
“Mr. Fuller, we only have a little over a week until the divorce is finalized. It’s inappropriate for us to cohabitate. And what happened last night absolutely cannot happen again.”<\/p>\n
He held her gaze effortlessly. “We aren’t divorced yet. Even if we were, I’m hungry. Is it a crime for a man to go back and grab a meal?”<\/p>\n
“…”<\/p>\n
“Or does your objection mean you’re assuming something else is going to happen if I step inside?”<\/p>\n
“…” Stella was entirely lost for words.<\/p>\n
Thankfully, Jarrod’s phone buzzed, rescuing her from the suffocating tension.<\/p>\n
He signaled the driver to pull out while answering a call from Eleanor, updating her on the situation at the school.<\/p>\n
Following that, he took several rapid-fire business calls, working nonstop until the sleek car glided through the gates of The Sterling Residences.<\/p>\n
Seeing that he was still immersed in his laptop, Stella reached for the door handle. “I’ll head in first and see what Mrs. Whitby prepared.”<\/p>\n
“I’m coming too.” Jarrod snapped his laptop shut and leveled his gaze at her. “Why did you stop using my first name?”<\/p>\n
“…” Stella stared at him.<\/p>\n
In that chaotic office, she could hardly call him “Mr. Fuller.” She needed the authority of his first name to crush the opposition.<\/p>\n
She knew damn well he understood exactly why she had done it.<\/p>\n
Yet here he was, deliberately backing her into a corner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-3454","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/3454","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=3454"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
