Chapter 179
\nHe Never Noticed Me Until I Loved Someone Else novel Chapter 179<\/p>\n
Stella shook her head to reject him, but Jarrod had already thrown open his door and was stalking toward her.<\/p>\n
“Get in.”<\/p>\n
He opened the passenger side and stared her down.<\/p>\n
Seeing the absolute lack of compromise in his eyes, Stella hesitated for a fraction of a second before sliding into the leather seat.<\/p>\n
Jarrod circled back to the driver’s side. Glancing over at her, he asked, “Back to The Sterling Residences?”<\/p>\n
Stella shook her head and rattled off the name of the elite private club where Summer was hosting her anniversary party.<\/p>\n
Jarrod didn’t ask any questions, simply putting the car in gear and pulling into traffic.<\/p>\n
“My intention today was to bring you in to force Chloe to back off, but I didn’t anticipate her…”<\/p>\n
Jarrod paused, exhaling heavily. “I apologize.”<\/p>\n
Stella gave a hollow, dismissive smile. “It’s fine. It’s not like she actually hurt me.”<\/p>\n
The absolute indifference in her voice caused Jarrod’s expression to darken significantly.<\/p>\n
As he stopped at a red light, he turned to scrutinize her profile. It was impossible to read his volatile mood. “Do Chloe’s actions really not bother you at all?”<\/p>\n
Stella wondered what exactly there was to care about.<\/p>\n
Chloe had demanded that Jarrod coddle her like he used to; Jarrod might not have done it today, but he certainly hadn’t denied doing it in the past.<\/p>\n
When Chloe faked a dramatic exit, Jarrod immediately panicked and chased after her.<\/p>\n
When Chloe threw a tantrum and clung to him, all Jarrod could muster was a few half-hearted reprimands.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, the only reason Chloe had the absolute audacity to pull those stunts was because Jarrod had spent years enabling her behavior.<\/p>\n
“Director Huxley didn’t even make eye contact with me the entire time. Her theatrics have absolutely nothing to do with me,” Stella replied icily.<\/p>\n
Jarrod stared intensely at the side of her face for several long seconds, his Adam’s apple bobbing. When the light finally turned green, he shifted his focus back to the road.<\/p>\n
“If something I did upset you, you’re allowed to say it. I can explain.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-3467","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/3467","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=3467"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
