He Never Noticed Me Until I Loved Someone Else novel Chapter 398

"Sebastian, with injuries like that, why aren't you resting in your own room?" Stella asked, immediately concerned.

Sebastian shook his head, brushing it off as a few superficial scratches. He mentioned that Summer and Julian had stepped out to grab coffee and would be back shortly.

"Stella, I failed to protect you yesterday. Thank God you're safe, or I never would have forgiven myself," Sebastian said, his voice heavy with guilt.

Stella sat up carefully. "I'm the one who should be apologizing to you. Silas was hunting me; you were just collateral damage."

She paused, locking eyes with him. "But be straight with me. Did you know Silas was going to make a move? Is that why you aggressively insisted on driving me everywhere the past few days?"

Sebastian didn't attempt to deny it. In fact, he dropped a massive bombshell—he had known about Jarrod's master plan from the very beginning.

As Stella stared in sheer confusion, Sebastian laid out the whole truth.

Furious over the sudden divorce and Jarrod's public flaunting of Yvette, Sebastian had hunted Jarrod down and punched him. Jarrod didn't even try to fight back. Instead, he begged Sebastian to serve as Stella's personal bodyguard for the foreseeable future.

Sebastian had scoffed, saying he didn't need Jarrod's permission to protect Stella, but demanded to know what the hell was going on.

Jarrod revealed that he had uncovered glaring inconsistencies in Yvette's story. Knowing Silas was a ruthless psychopath who would stop at nothing to hurt him, Jarrod made the agonizing decision to force the divorce, cutting Stella completely out of the blast radius.

Terrified that Yvette would spot any lingering attachment, Jarrod completely vanished from Stella's life, relying entirely on Sebastian to keep her safe in the shadows.
