Chapter 238
\nHe Never Noticed Me Until I Loved Someone Else novel Chapter 238<\/p>\n
Jarrod hadn’t actually formulated a plan for this call. He defaulted to interrogation. “Are you out at a restaurant?”<\/p>\n
“Yes. Is there a problem?” Stella asked, her voice slightly muffled as she clearly stepped into a quieter hallway.<\/p>\n
Jarrod swallowed hard. His voice came out flat, demanding. “My arm is killing me. You promised to change my bandages until I was healed. Can you come back to The Sterling Residences tonight and do it?”<\/p>\n
There was a sharp silence on the other end. When Stella finally spoke, her voice was crystal clear and entirely detached. “I’m currently on a business trip in Southport. I can’t do that.”<\/p>\n
Jarrod hadn’t expected her to be out of town. He tried to sound completely indifferent. “How long is the trip?”<\/p>\n
“Just two more days.”<\/p>\n
Jarrod’s Adam’s apple bobbed. He forced the words out. “When you get back, move back into The Sterling Residences. Yvette packed up and left days ago.”<\/p>\n
Stella didn’t say a single word.<\/p>\n
The suffocating, burning sensation flared back to life in Jarrod’s chest.<\/p>\n
He let out a tense breath, his voice betraying a level of vulnerability he couldn’t control. “Julian came to my office today. He pointed out some things I’ve been doing wrong. I\u2014”<\/p>\n
“Mr. Fuller,” Stella cut him off cleanly, without a trace of emotion. “What did the doctor say? How much longer until your arm is fully healed?”<\/p>\n
Jarrod froze. “About a week until the bandages come off.”<\/p>\n
“Perfect. I’ll be back at The Sterling Residences in two days. In exactly one week, we will schedule our appointment at the registry.”<\/p>\n
The temperature in Jarrod’s office plummeted to absolute zero.<\/p>\n
Stella must have felt the lethal silence radiating through the phone, because she immediately followed up with, “I have to get back to my team. Goodbye.”<\/p>\n
The line went dead.<\/p>\n
Jarrod sat completely paralyzed, the phone still pressed to his ear. His knuckles were bone-white, and his eyes were pitch black, radiating a murderous aura that practically froze the air in the room.<\/p>\n
He had genuinely thought she was asking about his arm out of concern. Instead, she was just setting a timer for their divorce!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-3526","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/3526","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=3526"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
