He Never Noticed Me Until I Loved Someone Else novel Chapter 214

Jarrod had lied. He didn't just need sleep, and he certainly wasn't completely satisfied. The hunger for her was still clawing at his chest.

...

Exhausted from the late night, Stella didn't wake up until past ten the next morning.

She sat up in bed, noticing a dull, lingering ache in her wrist.

Just then, a knock sounded at her door. It was Jarrod.

Stella honestly suspected he was doing this on purpose. If he knew his hand was basically useless, why insist on wearing a button-down shirt?

She had never once abandoned the idea of leaving him.

His eyes darkened ominously, but he didn't say a word.
