He Never Noticed Me Until I Loved Someone Else novel Chapter 87

Sebastian knew that if a woman earned Julian's praise, she had to be stunning.

He directed his next message at Jarrod. [I can't control your love life. But remember my warning—don't break my sister's heart, or don't blame me when we fall out.]

Jarrod didn't reply, and Julian smartly dropped the subject.

Julian quickly followed up: [Is that pitiful girl still there? Snap a pic so I can see what makes her so special.]

[No. That's totally inappropriate.]

After rejecting the idea, Sebastian put his phone away.

He looked up just as Stella set her spoon down and prepared to leave.

"I'm finished. Goodbye."

Noticing him staring, Stella offered a polite farewell.

"My car is right outside. Do you need a ride?" Sebastian offered.

"No, thank you."

After politely declining, Stella headed for the door.

Her back was slender, radiating a delicate yet unbreakable resilience.

Acting purely on impulse, Sebastian raised his phone and snapped a photo of her retreating figure.

...

Stella returned to The Sterling Residences.

Mrs. Higgins had clearly caught wind of the drama at the Quinn household and immediately started making snide remarks.

"You cause an absolute uproar every time you go back home. You really are something else!"

Stella's patience instantly evaporated.

At the Quinn house, George enabled Sylvia.

"Hmph! What are you so arrogant about! We'll see how many more days you get to play Mrs. Fuller. Once Jarrod divorces you, you won't even have a roof over your head. You'll come crawling right back to your family!" Mrs. Higgins spat defiantly.

"That's none of your business."

Stella leaned against the entryway console and yanked the front door wide open. "Are you done? If you're done, pack your bags and get out! When I wake up tomorrow morning, I don't want to see you anywhere near here. Otherwise, I'll have security drag you out!"

"You—you!" Mrs. Higgins stomped her foot in fury before lifting her chin haughtily. "Don't worry, I'm leaving! I'll just see how long you can keep this attitude up! I'm calling Mrs. Quinn right now to tell her I absolutely refuse to serve you anymore!"

As Mrs. Higgins stomped off to make her call, Stella ignored her completely and headed straight upstairs.

...

The next morning, the swelling on Stella's face had completely faded.

After freshening up and heading downstairs, there was no sign of Mrs. Higgins. She had clearly packed up and left.

Stella felt like she could finally breathe.

However, her phone was flooded with messages from George.
