He Never Noticed Me Until I Loved Someone Else novel Chapter 280

They could never be together again, but for a long time, he had been the greatest source of warmth in her life.

If she could do anything to help him heal, she was willing to step up.

He hesitated for a second before asking, "Do you have the contact info for that professor you recommended last time?"

She was genuinely surprised. He had been so aggressively opposed to seeing Professor Thorne before. Why was he asking for the number now?

"There are certain details I can't discuss with Skylar right now. I'd like to consult with him privately," he offered as a brief explanation.

So that was it.

She pulled up Professor Thorne's number and gestured for him to take it down.

"Add me to your contacts and text it to me," he said.

That surprised her even more.

Not so long ago, he treated her like a plague, throwing her straight onto his block list. Now, he was the one asking to connect.

He was engaged to Skylar now, and their bond was deep. She had zero interest in inserting herself into their relationship.

She gave a polite smile. "No need. You can just type the number in."

"Didn't you just say you'd help if I needed it? How am I supposed to reach you if I don't have your number?" he pressed.

The corners of her lips twitched. "My number is definitely on your block list. Just go look for it."

With that, she dictated the professor's number out loud, turned on her heel, and walked away.

He stood in silence, watching her slender silhouette disappear into the crowd. After a long moment, he unlocked his phone and pulled up his blocked contacts.

She had called him so many times. She had sent him countless messages, every single word practically bleeding with despair and heartbreak. He pressed a hand to his chest, feeling a dull, throbbing ache radiating from his heart.

His phone buzzed with an incoming call from Skylar. He answered it as he slowly made his way toward the lounge.
