He Never Noticed Me Until I Loved Someone Else novel Chapter 352

He had constantly applied pressure, trying to force Stella to show some real emotion and rely on him, but she only ever retreated further, refusing to yield an inch.

Stella truly hadn't expected Jarrod to be that childish. Using another woman to test her feelings? Letting someone bully her just so she would beg him for help?

With that kind of bizarre logic, how on earth did he survive the cutthroat corporate world, let alone lead The Fuller Group?

Catching the absolute exasperation in Stella's eyes, Jarrod coughed awkwardly.

"I only recently realized that you truly believed I had zero feelings for you. You never thought I'd take your side, so why would you ever ask me for help?"

Stella didn't comment on that, moving on to her next grievance.

"When you bought breakfast for Chloe, you bought it for the whole department. Don't tell me that had something to do with me too."

Jarrod coughed again, awkwardly moving the thermal container from the bedside table to the coffee table. He grabbed a tissue and wiped his hands, trying to look busy.

Seeing Stella staring at him, waiting for an answer, Jarrod finally confessed.

That morning at Skyview Lofts, they had a terrible argument. He had stormed off in a rage but couldn't bring himself to just order her breakfast directly, so he took a ridiculously convoluted route.

He used Chloe as an excuse to order breakfast for the entire department, just to ensure Stella would eat something.

Stella was speechless.

Talk about convoluted.

So, later when he and Chloe stood by her desk, he had let Chloe assign her all that unfair work simply because Stella had rejected the breakfast and hadn't begged him for help?

Jarrod confirmed her theory and added another reason: "I was standing right in front of you, and when your colleagues asked about your husband, you made no effort to reveal my identity. You always treated me like a plague you wanted to avoid."
