“Laura, is that handsome guy at your place Jesse?” Evelyn asked, catching Laura off guard.
Laura blinked in surprise. Her mom knew Jesse’s name.
She lowered her voice. “Mom, you know Jesse?”
“Of course I do. Our business has been booming lately, and it’s all thanks to Jesse working behind the scenes, connecting us with so many new clients. How could I not know?”
“At first, we all assumed Jesse was older. Then your brother did some digging and realized Jesse is his age, really young. Jesse’s family is a big deal too, with their own huge company.”
“People don’t just go out of their way for no reason. Your brother looked into it even more and found out Jesse likes you. He’s been helping our business because he’s interested in you.”
“Your dad and brother have been quietly checking out his character. Once they saw that he’s decent, we started accepting his help. We’re actually rooting for you two.”
Laura was silent for a second, then asked, “Mom, if you all already knew, why did you set me up on a blind date?”
“If we hadn’t, would you have been so quick to tell me about Jesse? When are you going to bring him home so we can meet him properly? You two are basically living together already…”
“Mom, we’re not living together,” Laura said quickly. “It’s just… I drank too much last night and he took care of me, that’s all. Nothing happened.”

The readers' comments on the novel: After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan)
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...
