Chapter 185
\nHe Never Noticed Me Until I Loved Someone Else novel Chapter 185<\/p>\n
[I wanted to meet up to discuss the divorce agreement.]<\/p>\n
Reading the text, Stella thought her eyes were playing tricks on her. Weren’t their terms already signed and submitted? What was left to discuss?<\/p>\n
[The terms in the agreement are a bit harsh on you. We can withdraw it and draft a new one.]<\/p>\n
[Tell me whatever conditions you want, and I’ll have the lawyers add them in.]<\/p>\n
Two more messages popped up in quick succession.<\/p>\n
Stella paused.<\/p>\n
Withdrawing and drafting a new one meant resetting the clock\u2014another thirty-day cooling-off period?<\/p>\n
Given Jarrod’s massive net worth, her settlement was technically pennies to him, but for Stella, it was more than enough.<\/p>\n
Human greed was a bottomless pit.<\/p>\n
She feared that if she delayed the divorce for the sake of money today, she’d end up trapped in a deeper abyss tomorrow.<\/p>\n
That nightmare had been the ultimate warning.<\/p>\n
So, she typed back: [Thanks for the offer, but there’s no need. The current terms are more than enough.]<\/p>\n
The chat displayed “typing…” for a long moment, then stopped abruptly. No new messages came through.<\/p>\n
Stella put her phone away. Seeing Sebastian still waiting, she gave him an apologetic look.<\/p>\n
“Sorry, I forgot you were still here. You really don’t have to wait with me. I can grab a cab on my own.”<\/p>\n
Judging from her reaction, Sebastian guessed the messages were from Jarrod.<\/p>\n
He knew their cooling-off period was almost up, so Jarrod had probably just tried to negotiate terms to delay things.<\/p>\n
But seeing the resolute look on Stella’s face, he figured nothing was going to change her mind.<\/p>\n
Just then, an empty cab rolled by. Sebastian waved it down. “Get in, Stella. Be safe.”<\/p>\n
She nodded and waved goodbye.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-3473","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/3473","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=3473"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
