He Never Noticed Me Until I Loved Someone Else novel Chapter 48

Her makeup was flawless, her complexion radiant, and her eyes clear and bright. She looked even more stunning than usual, a touch of lip gloss highlighting her perfect pout. She radiated vitality.

There was absolutely no sign of the "swollen eyes and terrible mood" Arthur had described.

Jarrod pressed his lips into a thin line, swallowing the words "If you're in trouble, just say so." He couldn't be bothered.

Silence settled over the car again.

Stella kept her eyes glued to the window. Noticing they were getting close to Mythos Online, she quickly spoke up. "Mr. Zhang, please pull over."

She then turned to Jarrod. "Jarrod, I can walk from here. It wouldn't look good if my coworkers saw us in the same car."

The driver caught Jarrod's eye in the rearview mirror.

His expression was glacial. Even without him saying a word, the driver could feel the temperature in the car plummet.

"Mrs. Fuller..."

"Stop the car," Jarrod ordered coldly.

The driver didn't say another word. He hit the blinker and pulled over to the curb.

Stella opened the door and stepped out, leaning down to speak through the window. "Thank you, Jarr—"

"Drive!"

Before she could finish, Jarrod impatiently cut her off.

The black Maybach sped off, leaving Stella standing alone on the sidewalk.

"..."

Just then, her phone rang.

She checked the screen. It was a call from Fuller Manor.

Grandpa Fuller was summoning them back for family dinner on Friday.

As Jarrod's arranged wife, one of Stella's obligations was to visit the estate every month.

She had to pay her respects to Grandpa Fuller and dine with the family.

Since Jarrod had returned from abroad, they hadn't been back together yet, so it was only natural for the old man to request it.

Stella obediently agreed.

"Mrs. Fuller, Mr. Fuller isn't answering his phone. He might be busy. Could you please pass the message along to him?" the butler requested.
