After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 694

Jesse laughed and shook his head. “You told me to find a skirt, remember? Laura’s pants didn’t fit, and honestly, this is way more comfortable. Hurry up and come inside before someone catches me looking like this.”

He stepped aside so Melissa could walk in.

Melissa glanced around Laura’s place as she entered. The apartment wasn’t fancy, definitely nothing like The Mason Estate, but Laura kept everything spotless. There was a cozy, welcoming vibe that made it feel like home. Melissa couldn’t help but think Laura really knew how to take care of herself and her space.

She mentally gave Laura a solid ninety out of a hundred. For someone as picky as Melissa, that was almost unheard of.

“Is Laura doing okay?” Melissa asked, her voice soft with concern. She handed Jesse the bag she’d brought. “Go on, get changed.”

“Hang on. Let me get a photo first,” Melissa grinned, already pulling out her phone.

Jesse’s cheeks went bright red. “Melissa, please don’t. If anyone sees that, my reputation’s toast.”

Melissa snapped two quick photos anyway. “Relax, I’m not going to blackmail you. I’ll just send them to Laura when she wakes up, so she knows what you did for her.”

Jesse gave up trying to argue. He just shook his head and went to change.

When he came back, he handed Melissa a glass of warm water. “Laura’s asleep. She shouldn’t be any trouble for a while.”

She shrugged. “Honestly, I don’t have anyone I like, either. Out of all the guys we know, none of them really do it for me.”

Jesse teased, “Maybe your standards are too high.”

Melissa shook her head. “It’s not that. I just want to meet someone who actually makes my heart skip a beat. Marriage is for life. You shouldn’t just settle.”

Jesse knew there was no talking Melissa into anything. She was the head of The Mason Group, always in charge, always confident. She was used to calling the shots and living life on her own terms. Even when her family tried to pressure her about marriage, she just brushed it off. There was really nothing anyone could do to rush her.
