He Never Noticed Me Until I Loved Someone Else novel Chapter 74

Jarrod stared down at the two halves of the shattered jade. Remembering how nervous Stella had been that morning, and the elaborate lanyard she had so carefully woven, the frost in his eyes deepened.

After a long moment, Jarrod scooped her up into his arms and carried her toward the large bed in the bedroom. Stella tossed restlessly against his chest, murmuring, "Lolo..."

Those words made Jarrod grind his teeth. His arms tightened around her, grip so fierce he felt he might crush her bones.

Reaching the bedroom, he tossed her onto the soft mattress and threw the blanket over her.

Having done that, he turned and walked out. When he closed the door, the force was so heavy that the wooden frame shuddered.

...

When Stella woke up, she found herself lying in a hotel bed.

But the sheer luxury of the suite was leagues above the room she had stayed in yesterday.

Stella sat up, feeling a massive headache and a stuffy nose.

She held her head, taking a long moment before the memories of last night came flooding back—crashing Logan's engagement party and publicly stopping his proposal.

And the person who had carried her away... was Jarrod?

Jarrod had watched her break down crying over Logan?

Stella's fingers froze at her temples.

Regardless of whether Jarrod had feelings for her, she was still legally his wife.

Making such a public scene must have infuriated him.

But then she remembered Logan proposing to Skylar, and suddenly, she felt like nothing mattered anymore.

She climbed out of bed, realizing she was still wearing yesterday's white dress.

Walking into the bathroom, Stella spotted the shattered jade charm on the floor.

Tears fell from her eyes without warning.

She couldn't even fulfill the simple wish of giving Logan a protective charm.
