Chapter 204
\nHe Never Noticed Me Until I Loved Someone Else novel Chapter 204<\/p>\n
Stella figured that with Mrs. Whitby at The Sterling Residences to handle Jarrod’s meals and daily needs, there was no rush. After all, Jarrod had only injured his arm; his legs worked perfectly fine. It wouldn’t make a difference if she went home a little later.<\/p>\n
She nodded. “Sure.”<\/p>\n
The three of them settled into a restaurant with a pleasant ambiance.<\/p>\n
Sebastian took charge of ordering, effortlessly selecting dishes Stella favored. He also made a point to inform the waiter of her allergies, emphasizing that the kitchen needed to be extra careful.<\/p>\n
Having worked together for a while and being inherently observant, Sebastian had naturally committed Stella’s dietary preferences and restrictions to memory.<\/p>\n
The waiter noted it down politely, while Mr. Stafford chuckled. “Seb, you sure keep close track of Stella’s habits, don’t you?”<\/p>\n
Stella felt a pang of awkwardness, but Sebastian remained completely unfazed. “I just have a good memory.”<\/p>\n
Mr. Stafford tested him. “Oh yeah? What’s my favorite drink?”<\/p>\n
Sebastian didn’t miss a beat. “That vintage liquor you keep bragging about.”<\/p>\n
Mr. Stafford rubbed the back of his head, laughing. “Well, I’ll be damned. You really do have a sharp memory. For a second there, I thought you were sweet on Stella.”<\/p>\n
Stella was speechless.<\/p>\n
After dinner, Sebastian offered to drive her home.<\/p>\n
“It’s not just to drop you off. We still have a few work details to iron out.”<\/p>\n
Sebastian presented an excuse she couldn’t reasonably refuse.<\/p>\n
Stella acquiesced. “Thanks for the ride.”<\/p>\n
Sebastian possessed a brilliant, unique perspective on fashion and design, making their conversation on the drive thoroughly enjoyable.<\/p>\n
Before she knew it, they had arrived outside The Sterling Residences.<\/p>\n
Stella thanked him and stepped out of the car.<\/p>\n
After a brief hesitation, she turned back and said, “Sebastian, even after my divorce is finalized, I won’t be looking to jump into a new relationship anytime soon. Don’t waste your time on me.”<\/p>\n
Sebastian offered a breezy, charming smile. “I know. But dedicating time to something I care about is never a waste.”<\/p>\n
With that, his gaze flicked toward the grand entrance of the villa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-3492","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/3492","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=3492"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
