Chapter 324
He Never Noticed Me Until I Loved Someone Else novel Chapter 324
Before, whenever Stella ate with him, she barely touched her food. But going out with Sebastian, she didn’t seem uncomfortable at all.
Just the thought of Stella working with Sebastian every day, eating with him every day, and seeing them walk out together laughing and chatting earlier this evening made Jarrod’s chest tight with frustration.
But he couldn’t voice any of it out loud.
From the first time Sebastian met Stella, to the second time, the third time, right up until he completely fell for her, Sebastian had openly shared the entire process with them.
As Sebastian had pointed out, if Jarrod had just paid a little more attention to Stella, he would have noticed his own buddy falling for his wife much sooner.
Sebastian had a laid-back, free-spirited personality, and once he set his sights on something, he didn’t let go easily. If Stella kept spending time with him, there was a real chance she could be drawn in.
At the thought of this, Jarrod’s brow furrowed sharply.
Seeing Jarrod like this, Stella guessed he was upset about Sebastian.
After a moment of thought, Stella finally spoke up. “Tonight wasn’t just a dinner with Sebastian. Chloe was there too. It was Chloe who asked Sebastian to invite me out.”
“Chloe thanked me for what happened that night and apologized for targeting me in the past.”
Upon hearing this, the darkness in Jarrod’s eyes noticeably lifted. Stella hadn’t agreed to dinner because she liked Sebastian!
Moreover, the fact that Stella voluntarily explained the situation—didn’t that mean she cared about what he thought?
Setting down his spoon, Jarrod locked his dark eyes on Stella. “Stella, about what I brought up a few days ago… have you thought about it?”
Stella looked at Jarrod. His eyes held a flicker of hope, and an underlying trace of nervousness colored his tone.
Stella recalled Summer’s advice: not to stress over things that haven’t happened yet. Even if the future turned out bad, at least her feelings in the present were genuine.
Pausing for a moment, Stella asked, “Chloe said she’s leaving Royal Oaks. What are your real thoughts? Are you going to miss her?”
