Chapter 308
\nHe Never Noticed Me Until I Loved Someone Else novel Chapter 308<\/p>\n
“Stella, I’d never claim to be a saint, but I at least know right from wrong! Serena is so used to getting her way. She’s clearly jealous that you’re prettier, have a better personality, and are more well-liked than she is, but she refuses to admit it. So, she tries to drag you down just to feel important. It’s an awful habit.”<\/p>\n
Eleanor set down her teacup. “So don’t take anything she says to heart, okay? Just let it slide for Jasper’s sake?”<\/p>\n
Stella genuinely hadn’t expected Eleanor to say something like this. She was almost flattered.<\/p>\n
“Eleanor, I haven’t taken any of it to heart.”<\/p>\n
“That’s good! We’re a family, after all. We should all get along!”<\/p>\n
Stella nodded, feeling a subtle warmth in her chest.<\/p>\n
For the three years she had been joined to the Fuller family, she had always viewed them as a demanding ‘client’ she had to appease. She had kept a low profile and tread carefully, never once considering truly integrating into their lives.<\/p>\n
Perhaps she had been letting her own preconceived notions cloud her judgment.<\/p>\n
After chatting with Eleanor for a while longer, Stella politely declined the invitation to stay for dinner and took her leave.<\/p>\n
She stopped by the office to update Mr. Stafford and the team about the clients in Ashford before finally heading home.<\/p>\n
Sitting in her car, Stella debated for a moment before deciding to call Jarrod.<\/p>\n
It rang for a long time before he finally answered. “What is it?”<\/p>\n
“Are you still working?” Stella asked.<\/p>\n
Jarrod gave a low hum of agreement, his voice thick with exhaustion. “I’ve been in meetings all day, and I’ve got another one coming up.”<\/p>\n
Knowing he had flown to Ashford in the middle of the night and rushed back first thing that morning, he probably hadn’t gotten a wink of sleep. Stella felt a pang of guilt.<\/p>\n
“Have you eaten yet? Do you want me to bring you some food?” Stella offered. “I need to tell you something anyway.”<\/p>\n
Jarrod pinched the bridge of his nose. “I’ve been swamped lately. I can’t find the time to finalize the divorce with you. Once this busy period is over, I’ll have the lawyers contact you.”<\/p>\n
“…” Stella knew Jarrod had completely misunderstood her intentions, but she paused and decided against clarifying. “Okay, I’ll wait to hear from you.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-3596","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/3596","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=3596"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
