Chapter 86
\nHe Never Noticed Me Until I Loved Someone Else novel Chapter 86<\/p>\n
Putting the pieces together, Sebastian was absolutely convinced this woman’s husband was beating her!<\/p>\n
“Do you need me to call the police?” Sebastian asked seriously.<\/p>\n
Stella shook her head.<\/p>\n
George hadn’t actually hit her before; today was just a boiling point of multiple conflicts, pushing him over the edge.<\/p>\n
Still, the bitter irony wasn’t lost on her\u2014a complete stranger was offering her more concern than George, who hadn’t even bothered to call and check on her.<\/p>\n
“Is your husband some powerful guy? Are you scared of him?”<\/p>\n
When Stella stayed quiet, Sebastian leaned in, fiercely protective. “Don’t be afraid. I’ll go to the police station with you!”<\/p>\n
“No, it has nothing to do with him,” Stella replied softly. “I just had a fight with my family.”<\/p>\n
“But thank you anyway,” she added sincerely.<\/p>\n
In a world where everyone minded their own business, a stranger willing to step up for her was incredibly rare.<\/p>\n
Though Sebastian remained skeptical, he took the hint when he saw her reluctance to talk. Picking up his spoon, he dug into his sweet cream custard.<\/p>\n
Even if it wasn’t domestic abuse, he was absolutely certain her husband treated her like garbage.<\/p>\n
Otherwise, why would she hide out alone to cry after being wronged, instead of going to her husband for comfort or help?<\/p>\n
Just then, Sebastian’s phone buzzed with a tag notification in a group chat.<\/p>\n
It was Julian Jenson: [Seb, didn’t you say you ran into that girl again\u2014the one who cried over the cats? How’s it going? Did you actually talk to her?]<\/p>\n
When Sebastian first entered the cafe, he had texted his group chat with Julian and Jarrod Fuller, mentioning he had spotted the crying girl again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1574","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/touchgame.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/1574","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/touchgame.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/touchgame.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/touchgame.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1574"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
