He Never Noticed Me Until I Loved Someone Else novel Chapter 109

"Mr. Fuller, we're getting a divorce anyway. There's no need for people to know," Stella said.

At her words, Jarrod's brow furrowed, the look in his eyes growing even colder. "Until you have that certificate, you are still Mrs. Fuller. Just because you don't want people to know, you'd rather swallow your pride and let yourself be bullied. Do you think that's smart?"

Stella understood what he was saying. If she had flexed her status as Mrs. Fuller earlier, that middle-aged creep would never have dared disrespect her.

But everyone at Mythos Online firmly believed Chloe was the love of Jarrod's life. If Stella suddenly declared herself "Mrs. Fuller" out of nowhere, who would believe her?

She would have probably faced even more mockery and harassment.

Explaining all that sounded a bit too much like complaining, and Stella didn't want him to think she was throwing a pity party.

"I'm not exactly smart to begin with," she replied. "But regardless, thank you for what you did back there."

Jarrod could easily see right through her. Another cold scoff rumbled in his throat. "I'm Jarrod Fuller, and you're my wife. Even if we're separating, it's not the place of some random nobody to give you grief."

The elevator arrived right as he finished speaking, and he stepped out without a backward glance.

Stella was left with an indescribable feeling.

It felt as if something had gently knocked against her heart, leaving it tender and aching, tangled with a strange, inexplicable unease.

Pushing her emotions down, she followed him out of the elevator.

She immediately realized they were in the underground parking garage.

"Mr. Fuller, where are we going?" Stella asked.

Jarrod cast her a sidelong glance, evidently having zero patience to answer, and merely signaled for her to get in the car.

The offices at Mythos Online were likely a hotbed of wild gossip right now. There was no way Stella was heading back up there just to be interrogated and scrutinized by everyone. She silently climbed into the passenger seat.

Jarrod took the wheel. Seeing his perpetually aloof expression, Stella didn't bother trying to make conversation.
