Chapter 144
He Never Noticed Me Until I Loved Someone Else novel Chapter 144
Stella stayed to have dinner with her grandmother before heading back to The Sterling Residences.
On the drive home, she sent Jarrod a quick text: Thank you.
Regardless of everything else, he was the reason The Quinn Group’s partnership with The Fuller Group was secure.
Jarrod didn’t reply.
Stella didn’t bother following up.
…
The next day, Stella went to check out an apartment.
It was a modest two-bedroom place, but she instantly fell in love with the modern interior design.
The neighborhood was beautiful and relatively close to The Quinn Group, with easy access to public transit for her daily commute.
She had listed the Maserati George had given her as part of her dowry, and the sale would just barely cover the cost of the apartment.
Without hesitation, she put down the deposit.
By the time her divorce with Jarrod was finalized, the paperwork for the apartment would be done, and she could move right in.
It was already mid-afternoon by the time she signed the lease and stepped outside.
The weather was gorgeous—sunny with a warm, gentle breeze. Spotting The Lakeside Park nearby, where people were taking photos and enjoying the sun, she decided to take a stroll.
The wind carried the sweet scent of blooming flowers. Feeling completely relaxed, Stella stretched her arms and took a deep breath.
Ever since Logan’s accident, she hadn’t felt this light in years.
“Excuse me, could you help us get our badminton birdie out of the tree?”
Two little girls, no older than eight, were looking up at her hopefully.
Stella glanced up and saw the shuttlecock caught high in the branches.
