Chapter 271
\nHe Never Noticed Me Until I Loved Someone Else novel Chapter 271<\/p>\n
Stella and Summer froze, watching in stunned silence as Lucca bolted from the room with another woman in his arms.<\/p>\n
The heavy door slammed shut with a resounding thud, leaving the two of them alone in the quiet booth amidst a messy table of half-empty glasses.<\/p>\n
Summer remained dead silent for a long time before a hollow, self-deprecating laugh escaped her lips. “Stella… after seeing that, do you think there’s any point in me holding on?”<\/p>\n
Stella could feel the devastating weight of her friend’s heartbreak, but when she opened her mouth, the comforting words caught in her throat.<\/p>\n
Five years. Summer had spent five years standing by Lucca’s side, unconditionally supporting and caring for him.<\/p>\n
To watch him run off holding someone else like that would shatter anyone.<\/p>\n
A few minutes later, Summer’s phone buzzed on the table. It was Lucca.<\/p>\n
She answered it and put it on speaker. His voice sounded far more composed now. “Summer, I came here specifically to take you home. I’ve handed her over to the staff, but the ambulance isn’t here yet. Come downstairs and ride to the hospital with us?”<\/p>\n
Still leaning against Stella’s shoulder, Summer gave a bitter, exhausted smile. Without uttering a single word, she ended the call.<\/p>\n
Stella fully expected Lucca to come back upstairs and apologize, but by the time they finally paid their tab and left, he was nowhere to be seen.<\/p>\n
Summer was heavily intoxicated, and Stella absolutely refused to let her go back to her empty apartment alone, deciding to take her to her own place instead.<\/p>\n
Yet, as she helped her friend out the main entrance, they spotted him.<\/p>\n
Whether Lucca had never left or had just returned from the hospital, it was impossible to tell, but he looked incredibly agitated.<\/p>\n
Seeing them, he stepped forward and reached out to take Summer. “I’ll take her home.”<\/p>\n
Through her drunken haze, Summer registered his face. She violently wrenched her arm away from him, her voice thick with slurred agony. “Don’t touch me. Get away. I don’t want to look at you…”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-3559","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/3559","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=3559"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
