He Never Noticed Me Until I Loved Someone Else novel Chapter 200

"Jarrod, I just told you to fake an illness as an excuse, how did you end up putting yourself in this state? You're going way too far just to avoid a divorce!"

Jarrod shot him a cold, dismissive glare. "It was a real accident."

After hearing the details of how Jarrod got hurt, Julian fixated on one crucial detail. "So, if it weren't for this freak accident with your arm, you and Stella would have finalized the divorce today?"

Jarrod was indeed feeling unwell. He lay propped up against the headboard and didn't utter a word.

When he received Stella's text rushing him, he truly had intended to go through with it and finalize the paperwork.

Her heart was fixated on someone else; he wasn't going to keep her chained to him against her will.

"But you were fully prepared to pull a disappearing act. Why did you still show up?" Julian couldn't wrap his head around it.

Jarrod's expression remained icy. "I was simply running late because I didn't feel well. It's not like I'm desperate for her to be my wife."

Julian was speechless.

Did Jarrod even hear the nonsense coming out of his own mouth?

What was the point of being so stubborn in denial?

"So, you've made up your mind to reapply for the divorce with her?" Julian pressed.

Jarrod closed his eyes in sheer annoyance. "You're being too loud."

"..."

...

Meanwhile, Sebastian Huxley had returned to his residence in Royal Oaks.

After a moment of thought, he sent Stella a message letting her know he would be heading to SD Apparel tomorrow.

With Stella's grandmother critically ill over the past few days, Sebastian had desperately wanted to be by her side to support her. But he knew Jarrod had rushed back, and as an outsider, he didn't even have the right to show overt concern.

All he could do was occasionally send a few friendly check-in texts.

Just then, a knock echoed at the door. He opened it to find Julian standing there with bags of food and drinks.

"What are you doing here?"

"I knew you were back, so I came to throw you a little welcome-home gathering!"

Julian plopped down unceremoniously on the couch and gestured for Sebastian to grab some glasses. "I brought booze too!"
