Chapter 233
He Never Noticed Me Until I Loved Someone Else novel Chapter 233
Just as promised, Julian was waiting outside.
His face was an unrecognizable mask of fury, his eyes burning with accusation.
Sebastian had spent months terrified of this exact moment, but now that it was here, he felt entirely grounded.
He looked at Julian and said, “Let’s find somewhere quiet to talk.”
Julian let out a vicious sneer, turned on his heel, and marched down the block.
They ended up at a dimly lit dive bar, ordering a dozen beers without looking at the menu.
The second they sat down, Julian exploded, keeping his voice in a furious hiss. “Sebastian, you better have a damn good explanation for why you are trying to steal Jarrod’s wife!”
Sebastian calmly popped the cap off two beers, sliding one to Julian. His voice was quiet. “Julian, when I met her, I had absolutely no idea she was Jarrod’s wife.”
Julian froze.
That… actually checked out.
Sebastian had live-texted the group chat the night he met his ‘muse’. He didn’t even know she was married at the time.
“The night of your dad’s gala, when I realized who she was to Jarrod… I was completely paralyzed.”
Sebastian took a long, heavy pull from his bottle, his eyes locked on the scuffed table. “I tried to run. I tried to bury it. But I couldn’t stop myself. Julian, you think I want this? I wish more than anything she was married to literally anyone else. It would save me this absolute hell.”
Seeing the raw, agonizing conflict in Sebastian’s eyes, the rage drained right out of Julian, leaving him speechless.
He knew Sebastian wasn’t lying. If Sebastian had known from day one she was Jarrod’s, he never would have looked at her twice.
The reality of the situation was just a twisted, cosmic joke.
