After I Stopped Loving Him novel Chapter 1094

Isabella drove through the gates of the sprawling Carter Estate. Harold usually lived in his own private residence—which was in the same upscale neighborhood as Isabella's—but he had stayed at the family estate the night before to prepare for her arrival.

As the car rolled past the gates, Harold and Barbara followed on foot, signaling the staff to close the heavy iron doors behind them.

"My uncles and aunts will be arriving soon," Barbara mentioned casually.

The primary reason for today's lunch was so Salome, their grandmother, could finally meet Isabella. When Samantha's family first heard that Harold had fallen for Isabella, their immediate reaction had been to object. They had tried talking Samantha out of it countless times.

But Samantha had already met Isabella and genuinely liked her. More importantly, her son had made it crystal clear that he was deeply in love and wanted to spend the rest of his life with her. Harold was in his early thirties, and it was rare for him to find someone he actually wanted to marry. If she forced them apart, she might end up with a miserable, regret-filled son, just like Stephanie Adams had with Ethan.

It was Harold's life and Harold's future. As long as he was happy, why should she, as his future mother-in-law, interfere? Isabella was ambitious and had already made a name for herself in the business world. Yes, she had been married to Ethan, but they had slept in separate rooms the entire time, and the divorce wasn't her fault. Anyone in her shoes would have left.

So, Samantha had embraced Isabella and grown increasingly fond of her. She even told her own family that if they just met Isabella and spent some time with her, they would approve too.

Since Isabella was making her first official visit as Harold's girlfriend today, Samantha had invited her brothers and their wives over. They wanted a closer look at the woman who had captivated their nephew so completely.

Everyone in Cabinda's high society knew that Ethan was desperately trying to win Isabella back after their divorce. They figured that if Ethan was consumed by regret, Isabella had to be quite extraordinary.
