Chapter 174
\nHe Never Noticed Me Until I Loved Someone Else novel Chapter 174<\/p>\n
With that, Stella spun on her heel and marched straight toward the guest room where Grandma Margaret and Hannah were staying.<\/p>\n
She left George screaming about her ungratefulness in the hallway, with Seraphina and Sylvia practically fawning over him to calm him down.<\/p>\n
Inside the room, Hannah was gently brushing Margaret’s hair.<\/p>\n
The elderly woman lit up the moment she saw Stella, grabbing her hands and lovingly calling her both of her pet names in her confusion.<\/p>\n
Hannah looked up, her expression etched with concern. “Stella, did you get into another fight with your dad? Honestly, it’s fine if we leave tomorrow.”<\/p>\n
Stella shook her head. It was never about the delay; it was about George’s blatant favoritism.<\/p>\n
When he had offered to drive them back last week, she had naively thought he was finally trying to make amends and show an ounce of fatherly love.<\/p>\n
She had been a fool. As long as Seraphina was in the picture, Seraphina’s needs would always eclipse hers.<\/p>\n
She never should have harbored any hope.<\/p>\n
Swallowing the bitter lump in her throat, Stella managed a reassuring smile for Hannah. “It’s fine, Hannah. I’ve already arranged a private car. I’ll take you guys back myself.”<\/p>\n
Despite her clouded mind, Margaret sensed Stella’s distress. She patted the back of Stella’s hand gently. “Don’t cry, my sweet girl… it’s okay…”<\/p>\n
Stella choked up, desperately blinking away the tears that threatened to spill over. She let out a small, wet laugh. “I’m not crying, Grandma. Look, I’m smiling!”<\/p>\n
After Hannah finished her hair, she began packing up the last of their bags.<\/p>\n
Margaret realized her favorite handkerchief was missing, so Stella helped her shuffle out into the living room to look for it. The space was completely empty.<\/p>\n
One of the maids quietly informed her that George and the others had just rushed out with their luggage to catch a flight.<\/p>\n
Right. Her anger and disappointment meant absolutely nothing to him. He was never going to apologize, and he certainly wasn’t going to change his plans for her.<\/p>\n
She should have been used to this by now.<\/p>\n
A cynical smirk pulled at Stella’s lips. She was just bending down to look for the handkerchief when Seraphina suddenly marched back into the house.<\/p>\n
Spotting them, Seraphina scowled and strode over to grab a sun hat she had left on the sofa.<\/p>\n
Stella rarely spoke to her half-sister, and she had zero intention of starting now. She completely ignored Seraphina and kept searching the cushions with her grandmother.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-3462","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/3462","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=3462"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
