\nHe Never Noticed Me Until I Loved Someone Else novel Chapter 261<\/p>\n
Stella approached the seating area and offered a polite greeting.<\/p>\n
“Morning, Jarrod.”<\/p>\n
Jarrod’s dark eyes flicked to the velvet box in her hands. His jaw remained locked tight, and his handsome face offered absolutely zero reaction.<\/p>\n
One of the suited men immediately stood up and introduced himself as Mr. Halloway, Jarrod’s lead attorney. He explained that he and his associate had arrived to finalize the details of the divorce litigation.<\/p>\n
Jarrod was a man of his word. He hadn’t wasted a single second summoning his legal team at the crack of dawn.<\/p>\n
Stella set the box on the coffee table, gave Mr. Halloway a gracious nod, and asked, “Do you need anything from me? Any paperwork I need to sign to expedite this?”<\/p>\n
Mr. Halloway blinked, momentarily thrown off balance.<\/p>\n
He had drafted the original divorce settlement months ago. When the divorce never went through, he naturally assumed the wife was clinging to her billionaire status and refusing to sign.<\/p>\n
Yet here she was, offering a calm, radiant smile. There were no tears, no hysterics, and absolutely no resistance.<\/p>\n
If Stella wasn’t the one dragging this out, then that meant…<\/p>\n
Mr. Halloway, ever the professional, immediately shut down his internal gossip and walked Stella through the litigation process.<\/p>\n
Since both parties were in total agreement regarding the division of assets, they could bypass the mandatory thirty-day cooling-off period at the Registry. Instead, they would file for pre-litigation mediation, which would legally dissolve the marriage in about ten days.<\/p>\n
“Once the case is filed, a mediator will review it. Since the settlement is already agreed upon, the court will issue a legally binding mediation decree on the spot. Both of your signatures will finalize the process, carrying the exact same legal weight as a divorce certificate,” Mr. Halloway explained smoothly.<\/p>\n
Stella nodded in understanding. “That works perfectly for me. However, Jarrod’s arm is currently injured. Signing documents might be difficult for him right now.”<\/p>\n
Stella’s intent was purely practical\u2014suggesting they wait a few days until his hand was healed enough to hold a pen comfortably.<\/p>\n
But Jarrod interpreted it as a blatant insult.<\/p>\n
“It’s just a signature. My arm isn’t severed, and if it comes down to it, I’ll use my left hand. I won’t delay your freedom,” Jarrod snapped, his voice dripping with ice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-3549","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/3549","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=3549"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
