Chapter 197
\nHe Never Noticed Me Until I Loved Someone Else novel Chapter 197<\/p>\n
The man was none other than Jarrod Fuller, whom Stella had been waiting for all afternoon.<\/p>\n
His eyes were completely devoid of emotion. The harsh overhead lighting cascaded down, making him appear even more aloof and untouchable than usual.<\/p>\n
“You’re here?” Stella stood up from her chair.<\/p>\n
She knew Jarrod wouldn’t break his promise. Summer’s theory about him playing disappearing acts was totally baseless; he had likely just been delayed by something unavoidable.<\/p>\n
Hearing her voice, Jarrod ignored her completely, walking toward the divorce registry counter with a rigid, expressionless face.<\/p>\n
Perhaps it was just Stella’s imagination, but his steps seemed far less grounded than usual. He looked slightly unsteady, as if he was forcibly willing his body to move forward.<\/p>\n
“Are you not feeling well?” Stella asked instinctively.<\/p>\n
Jarrod kept his spine perfectly straight, his expression dark and somber, still refusing to acknowledge her.<\/p>\n
Stella furrowed her delicate brows.<\/p>\n
Wasn’t he the one who showed up over two hours late? Instead of offering an apology, he was acting as if she had committed some grave offense against him.<\/p>\n
Whatever. They were about to finalize their divorce, and soon they would have no ties to each other. If he wanted to give her the silent treatment, so be it.<\/p>\n
With that thought, Stella quickened her pace to match his.<\/p>\n
They reached the registry counter, and Stella handed over her ID and her copy of their marriage certificate.<\/p>\n
Jarrod didn’t move a muscle.<\/p>\n
It wasn’t until the clerk explicitly prompted him that he slowly pulled out his ID using his left hand.<\/p>\n
“Where is your marriage certificate, sir?” the clerk asked.<\/p>\n
Jarrod’s tone was absolute ice. “Lost.”<\/p>\n
He had been forced into this marriage to begin with; it was hardly surprising that he hadn’t bothered to keep the document safe.<\/p>\n
“I have mine right here. That should be sufficient, right?” Stella asked politely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-3485","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/3485","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=3485"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
