Barbara was going to be a wonderfully considerate sister-in-law.
Being with Harold meant Isabella never had to worry about family drama from that front.
Laura hummed in understanding. "Oh, they're heading to the country? Won't that make it easier for your dad's side of the family to harass Cynthia for cash?"
"They have no shame. Cynthia hasn't been part of the George family for years, yet they still expect her to pay up."
"Your aunts and uncles keep showing up at the cafe, too. They don't cause a scene, but they always try to score freebies. Half the time I want to chase them out with a broom, but I hold back so I don't cause a scene."
The relentless audacity of the George family was a massive headache.
If it drove Laura crazy, Isabella could only imagine how bad it was.
"My mom is staying at my uncle's place—my grandmother's village. Everyone there is practically family. The Georges wouldn't dare start anything there."
"The whole area knows exactly how they treated us. If they tried to cause trouble, the entire village would run them out of town."
Isabella wasn't worried.
Peter and Berenice knew they were in the wrong and didn't dare harass Cynthia directly anymore. Their main goal was extracting money from Isabella, banking on the fact that they shared blood. No matter how much she despised them, they were technically her grandparents.
"That's a relief. Alright, I've got to run. Let me pack quickly so we can hit the road. It'll be close to noon by the time we arrive. You guys get the seafood feast ready for us!"
Laura laughed, asking her best friend to have everything prepped by the time she and Jesse arrived.
"Will do. Don't worry, there's always plenty of seafood at the beach. You'll eat until you burst."
Laura smiled. "I don't even like seafood that much, but it feels like a requirement when you're at the coast."

The readers' comments on the novel: After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan)
I will be devastated if Isabella and Ethan will get back together. Please, writer, Isabella deserves Harold....
Author, please get your characters names right. You always messing them up!...
I wish Harold will win Isabella's heart. I was so sad when Isabela was taken for granted coldly and cruelly by her supposed to be husband, and trapped,mocked and humiliated non stop by Natalie. This was so cruel, both don't deserve Isabela' forgiveness I wish for a happy ending between Isabela and Harold, he has the right to be happy after the long wait....
Frankly, the story initially was going quite good and the pacing was just right. unfortunately after Ethan got the dream of his past life, the story has been going in circles. Ethan's spouting the same nonsense every time he sees Isabella, they both have same conversations over and over. The authors monologue too has been the same for almost 400 chapters. Irrespective of which character the writing the just a repetition of what someone had gone through in the past and what made a certain character feel the emotions. York got introduced in 800 chapters yet nothing significant happened till date. Isabella is soft with Harold and kind of disgusted with Ethan, yet it is not entirely clear with whom she might end up. If she stays single i am fine with it but the story is clearly about Isabella and Ethan so almost 1000 chapters without seeing any progress in their relationship is frustrating. Except for being blindly in love and few aggressive instances with Isabella, Ethan actually isnt a bad person so i am fine if he can win her back. Even though Harold is coming off as a good second lead, i am somehow unable to warm upto him. Even the bad people in the story are not really facing any real consequences. I hate Jackson for his hypocrisy. I hate Jordan and Natalie for their self-righteouness and selfishness. I also hate Deborah, except when she is handing it out to Natalie. I am almost on the verge of dropping this story....
Why are they acting like kids 🤣😭...
Ethan is actually not that bad if we take out his blind love for Natalie...
