He Never Noticed Me Until I Loved Someone Else novel Chapter 158

Sebastian immediately picked up on the underlying satisfaction in Jarrod's voice. He paused before asking, "You sound like you're in a great mood. Where are you?"

Jarrod ignored the question, cutting straight to the point. "Just tell me what you want."

Recalling how Jarrod treated Stella the previous night, Sebastian already had a solid guess. He shifted the subject. "Chloe is being discharged this morning. You promised to pick her up. You didn't forget, did you?"

"Mhm," Jarrod replied. "I'll head over soon."

"Alright. I'll call Julian too, and we can all grab lunch together."

...

By the time Stella finished getting ready and stepped out of the bathroom, Jarrod was no longer in the room.

Mrs. Whitby would come up to clean later. To avoid any awkward questions, Stella grabbed the shredded remains of her dress and stuffed them into the trash bin.

Then, she headed downstairs.

Breakfast was already laid out, and Jarrod was waiting by the door, clearly about to leave.

He had been waiting for her to come down.

The moment he saw her, he said, "I'm driving myself. I'll have the driver take you to the office later."

"Also, if you need help with SD Apparel, just reach out to Arthur Bishop. Don't force yourself to deal with people you dislike."

Stella looked up, her gaze meeting his deep, dark eyes, which perfectly mirrored her reflection.

She knew exactly who he meant by "people you dislike"—Skylar.

She thought she had done a decent job hiding her discomfort when she mentioned Skylar the night before.

She hadn't expected him to be so fiercely observant.

In truth, she had no intention of accepting Skylar's help. It wasn't about pride; she simply wanted nothing to do with Logan or Skylar ever again.

Since she had chosen to move on, keeping her distance was the best policy.

"I understand," Stella nodded.
