He Never Noticed Me Until I Loved Someone Else novel Chapter 132

Stella remained silent.

"Stella, him saying he doesn't want to spend energy looking for another wife is probably just an excuse to save face. The most important question is: do you want to divorce Jarrod?" Summer asked.

Stella explained the heavy incentives George Quinn had promised her, adding that Jarrod had also pledged his support.

"What about your feelings?" Summer pressed.

Stella fell silent for a moment. "He and I belong to two different worlds."

Because they were from different worlds, they simply weren't a match.

Furthermore, with a man like Jarrod, Stella was instinctively terrified of emotional investment. She feared that if she fell too deep, she would be completely destroyed.

Summer chuckled at her words. "It's not that serious. You're being way too pessimistic."

Still, Summer understood Stella's pessimism.

Stella had lost her mother at the age of eight. Then George remarried, her grandmother fell ill, and Stella went from being a vibrant, outgoing girl to someone quiet and painfully mature.

The only person who could ever get her to open up, Logan Lennox, had lost his memory and forgotten her.

Now, faced with affection from a man at the absolute pinnacle of society, it was perfectly natural for her to feel hesitant and afraid.

"The way I see it, you don't need to overthink it."

Summer suggested, "You still have about twenty days left in your divorce cooling-off period. Just use this time to drop your emotional baggage and try to understand and accept Jarrod."

"If you realize you like him, give yourself a chance and stay in the marriage. If not, just finalize the paperwork when the time is up. Jarrod already said he'd respect your choice anyway."

Honestly, Summer's words gave Stella a much-needed boost of courage.

Remembering how fiercely Jarrod had protected her in the elevator that evening, Stella thought she might try viewing him not as her boss, but as her husband.
