Chapter 322
He Never Noticed Me Until I Loved Someone Else novel Chapter 322
After a moment of thought, Stella finally spoke up. “Sebastian, Jarrod suggested we put the divorce on hold. I told him I’d think about it.”
Hearing this, Sebastian instantly understood Stella’s underlying message.
If she had agreed to consider it, she would likely go through with it. That meant his own chances were gone.
Disappointment settled heavily in Sebastian’s chest, but he kept a gentle smile on his face. “That’s between you and Jarrod. Our professional partnership and friendship won’t change.”
Stella could hear the unspoken promise in his words—he wasn’t giving up.
“Sebastian, there are so many women who like you. You really don’t need to waste your time on me,” Stella couldn’t help but advise him.
Sebastian flashed a dashing smile. “But none of them are you.”
Stella, “…”
About half an hour later, they arrived at the restaurant.
Chloe was already there.
She was dressed just as fashionably as ever, but when she looked at Stella, the usual mockery and disdain were completely gone, replaced by a much calmer demeanor.
“Sebastian, Stella… you’re here.”
Chloe had almost called her Ms. Quinn but decided it sounded too formal.
Stella didn’t mind the address. She offered a brief nod in response to Chloe’s greeting.
Meanwhile, Sebastian pulled out a chair for Stella.
After Stella sat down, Sebastian ordered all of her favorite dishes, making a specific point to remind the waiter of Stella’s allergies so the kitchen wouldn’t make any mistakes.
Watching her cousin act so affectionately toward Stella left Chloe with an indescribable feeling.
Previously, she had hoped her cousin would win Stella over so that she might still have a chance with Jarrod.
But after the incident that night, Chloe had come to accept the harsh reality that Jarrod would never fall for her.
