After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 779

Jesse wasn’t worried about Isabella getting tired. His heart belonged to Laura, and she was the only one he cared about. He was planning for their future.

When he finally won her over and she became his wife, there would be all kinds of events she’d need to attend with him. If Laura got used to meeting clients and handling business, she’d pick up the right etiquette and feel more at ease, no need to stress over it.

Laura smiled and said, “Yeah, I really should start getting used to this. I’ve been way too lazy lately.”

Isabella was a total go-getter, always ambitious and on top of everything. She managed things so well that Laura just waited for her share of the profits and stayed out of company business. The only time she’d helped was back when they first started out, giving some feedback on scripts.

After Isabella found her footing, Laura never had to worry again. Isabella had an incredible eye for good stories. Any script she personally picked always ended up being at least a minor hit, sometimes even going viral. Either way, the company kept making money.

“Jesse.”

Lucas was waiting by the hotel entrance, greeting guests as they arrived. When he spotted Jesse and Laura getting out of the car, he smiled and came over to welcome them.

After shaking Jesse’s hand, his attention shifted to Laura.

“Lucas, this is Laura. She’s my date tonight,” Jesse introduced her.

Everyone knew Jesse was trying hard to win someone over. The fact that he brought her along to meet everyone made it clear this was the girl he was crazy about.

“Absolutely,” Latonia said with a grin, and they exchanged social media details. Then she turned to her daughter. “Jen, you should add Laura too. Get out and have some fun once in a while.”

Jen quietly took out her phone and added Laura. She was pretty shy and kept to herself.

Lucas and the others led Jesse into the hotel, while Latonia linked arms with Laura, chatting and laughing with her daughter as though they’d known Laura forever. Really, it was all because of the Mason family. Janetta had talked Laura up and recommended her coffee shop to everyone she knew, which basically meant the Mason family had already accepted Laura.

To outsiders, Laura might not have seemed like a match for Jesse, but the Masons had given their approval. Soon enough, Laura would become Mrs. Mason, and with their support, the Charles family business would only get bigger. Laura’s own status would rise right along with it.
