“It’s a really popular place. Tons of people go there every day, not just for prayers but also because it’s a bit of a tourist spot. I was thinking I could take you over, we could pray together, pick up a couple of good luck charms, and maybe even have a fortune teller read your fortune. If there’s any bad luck hanging around, they’ll help sort it out for you.”
Isabella laughed. “Thanks, but really, it’s fine. It was just an accident.”
“Young people never want to believe in this stuff. Whatever, I’ll just get a few charms for you myself.”
Evelyn saw she couldn’t convince Isabella to come along, so she decided she’d handle it on her own.
“Thank you.”
Isabella didn’t turn down Evelyn’s offer. It wasn’t that she didn’t believe in fate or luck. She just thought everyone ran into bumps in the road from time to time. No one’s life was completely smooth.
“Mom, what are you doing here today?” Laura asked. Now that Isabella was safe and sound, she could finally relax and ask her mom about the real reason for the visit.
“Can’t I come see you? You haven’t been home in forever. I know you’re busy with work, so I thought I’d just come over and check on you.”
Evelyn couldn’t help but complain that Laura barely came home since moving into her own place. “And I wanted to ask when you and Jesse are going to finally have the parents meet. You’ve already gone to parties together, and I’ve met him in person. He’s even come by the family company.”
They’d met over video calls, too, not just in real life.
The whole Charles family loved Jesse, honestly.
It wasn’t about his background. He was just a genuinely good guy who cared about Laura in a way everyone could see.
“And he definitely has other admirers. I just worry that if Laura keeps putting things off, one of them might actually win him over, and she’ll end up regretting it.”
“Laura, if this was before I’d met Jesse, maybe I’d have the same worries as you. But now that I’ve met him, talked with him, I can honestly say you won’t regret choosing him. You’ll be happy, I know it.”
Evelyn added, “Your dad, your brother, and I have all looked into him from every angle. They’ve spent even more time with him and know him pretty well by now.”
Isabella added, “Evelyn, I get it. I’ve told Laura the same thing. She shouldn’t let my failed marriage with Ethan put her off all rich guys. Jesse is nothing like Ethan.”
“And the whole Mason family really likes Laura, too.”
It was so much better than things ever were when she was married to Ethan.

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