Chapter 283
\nHe Never Noticed Me Until I Loved Someone Else novel Chapter 283<\/p>\n
Hearing a knock at the door, Stella pulled it open, only to find Jarrod standing on her threshold.<\/p>\n
He was dressed far more casually than usual, wearing a relaxed cardigan over his crisp button-down shirt. The outfit made him look more approachable, but his expression was anything but.<\/p>\n
He looked cold and deeply annoyed, as if someone had seriously pissed him off.<\/p>\n
Stella blinked in surprise and asked, “What are you doing here?”<\/p>\n
Staring her down, he replied in a flat, emotionless tone. “I left my watch here. I came to get it back.”<\/p>\n
He really had left his watch at her place, but given the sheer awkwardness of that night, she hadn’t taken the initiative to contact him about it.<\/p>\n
He owned a dozen high-end watches anyway. She had figured she would just bring it along the next time she went to The Sterling Residences to pack up the rest of her things.<\/p>\n
She never expected him to make a special trip just for that.<\/p>\n
“Give me a second. I’ll go grab it,” she said.<\/p>\n
With that, she turned and headed into the living room.<\/p>\n
But when she retrieved the watch and turned back, she realized he had already let himself inside.<\/p>\n
Deep down, she had a sneaking suspicion that he hadn’t shown up at this hour just for a forgotten accessory.<\/p>\n
Still, since he was already standing in her apartment, it felt too rude to just kick him out.<\/p>\n
So, she offered politely, “Do you want some water?”<\/p>\n
Without a word, he strode over and sat on her sofa.<\/p>\n
“…”<\/p>\n
Stella set the watch down and poured him a glass of water anyway.<\/p>\n
He didn’t take the glass. Instead, his gaze fixated intensely on her ring finger.<\/p>\n
Confused, she followed his line of sight and realized she was still wearing the simple silver band he had given her.<\/p>\n
It wasn’t particularly expensive, and she had worn it for so long that she had simply forgotten to take it off when she returned all the other jewelry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-3571","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/3571","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=3571"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
