He Never Noticed Me Until I Loved Someone Else novel Chapter 328
The mere thought of that scenario brought a twisted sense of satisfaction and pride to Lucca’s heart.
Tossing his coat aside, Lucca scooped Aria up into his arms and carried her toward the bedroom. “Fine, you win. I’ll hold you to sleep tonight. But how are you going to repay me?”
Aria wrapped her arms around his neck, blushing as she whispered something into his ear.
“You sure know a lot,” Lucca chuckled deeply. “Just don’t start crying that you’re too tired later.”
With that, Lucca tossed her onto the bed, gripping her chin, demanding she follow through on exactly what she had just offered.
The temperature in the room instantly spiked, the air thick with seductive tension. In the heat of the moment, Lucca completely forgot about Summer waiting somewhere else.
…
The next morning, Stella woke up to a message from Summer congratulating her on temporarily calling off the divorce with Jarrod.
Summer had been busy since going abroad, so Stella had planned to wait a few days before sharing her decision. She hadn’t expected Summer to find out from Julian so quickly.
Julian’s information network was fast—Jarrod had probably tipped him off.
Since it was the truth anyway, Stella didn’t dwell on it. She simply asked Summer if she was adjusting well over there.
Just as she hit send, Jarrod’s number flashed across the screen.
Last night, after eating, Jarrod had dragged out his stay, claiming he wanted to learn more about her childhood. He only finally left when she practically shoved him out the door.
What was he calling for now?
Answering the phone, Jarrod spoke first: “Stella, I missed you. Let me drive you to work, okay?”
It had only been a few hours since he left last night, yet Jarrod spoke as if they had been separated for an eternity.
Stella never imagined Jarrod could be this incredibly clingy.
“No need, I can go by myself.” Stella, still completely unaccustomed to this side of him, bluntly refused.
