He Never Noticed Me Until I Loved Someone Else novel Chapter 199

Stella Quinn couldn't fathom where Jarrod Fuller's sudden surge of anger was coming from. After a few seconds of silence, she finally asked, "Did I do something to offend you, or did someone from my family bother you again?"

Jarrod stared intently at her.

Her expression was calm and indifferent, as if she genuinely didn't see anything wrong with meeting Logan Lennox yesterday and consulting Professor Julian Thorne about his condition.

Jarrod knew Stella had always harbored feelings for Logan deep in her heart, and he was fully aware of their shared childhood history.

But Stella had explicitly told him she was over Logan. Ever since they returned from St. Jude's Island, she hadn't lost control over anything regarding the other man.

Because of that, Jarrod assumed their past was truly behind them, leaving him open to maintaining his marriage with Stella.

Little did he know, while he was busy plotting out their future, she was still running around worrying about Logan!

The moment he saw the earring, Jarrod felt like an absolute clown. The "foolish woman blinded by love" he had sneered at was actually his own wife.

Even Professor Thorne, a man accustomed to life and death, had been moved by her profound devotion—a devotion his wife had reserved entirely for another man!

Stella had never shown any emotional fluctuations around him; she was always an impenetrable wall of calm indifference.

All that gentle obedience was nothing more than a carefully crafted facade.

She had never treated him like a real husband!

The thought alone ignited a suffocating wave of anger in Jarrod's chest that he could barely suppress.

Seeing Stella standing there, waiting for his reply with that nonchalant look in her eyes, instantly killed any desire he had to speak to her.

The coldness in his eyes faded into pure apathy. "I'm tired. I need to rest. Leave."

Stella glanced out the window. The sky was just beginning to take on the dusky hues of evening.

Clearly, his excuse about needing rest was just a way to kick her out. He had no intention of continuing the conversation.

"Eat something first," she offered. "What are you in the mood for? I'll order some food."

Jarrod closed his eyes, completely ignoring her.

Familiar with his dietary habits, Stella went ahead and ordered a few dishes for him anyway.

When the food arrived, Jarrod remained motionless in his reclined position.

Stella placed the meal on his bedside table. "I'm leaving now. Eat when you get hungry."
