After I Stopped Loving Him novel Chapter 1095

The Carter family wasn't as expansive as the Adams or White families, but they still had three distinct branches. Among her children, Salome favored her youngest son, but her absolute favorite grandchild was Harold, the eldest grandson.

Usually, Salome lived in the wing belonging to her youngest son and rarely joined Harold's immediate family for breakfast. She had only come over about ten minutes ago, assuming her grandchildren were still in bed.

After all, it was only just past nine in the morning. On a typical weekend with no plans, Harold was known to sleep until the afternoon. Salome was well accustomed to the younger generation sleeping in.

Seeing the car pulling up behind the golf cart, the butler's smile widened. "That must be Ms. George."

As soon as Isabella parked, Harold stepped forward to open the rear door for Cynthia, his future mother-in-law. "Careful getting out, Cynthia," he said warmly.

He reached out to help her, but she waved him off with a gentle smile. "I'm not that old yet, Harold. Help Zachary; his leg gives him a bit of trouble."

Harold immediately moved to assist Zachary, hovering attentively. Zachary beamed, looking visibly touched. He had never received this kind of treatment from Ethan, who had always been ice-cold toward his ex-wife's family. Even later on, when Ethan had tried to act nicer, it was only a performance to stop Isabella from divorcing him. It had never been genuine respect.

Harold was entirely different. His respect for Zachary was profound and sincere. He constantly voiced his gratitude, knowing that if Zachary hadn't shown up with a weapon to rescue his sister and niece all those years ago, Isabella's fate would have been unthinkable. Because Harold loved and respected Isabella, that devotion naturally extended to her family.

"Take your time, Zachary," Harold said, keeping a steady grip on the older man's arm as he helped him up the front steps.

Meanwhile, Isabella unloaded the gifts she had brought.

Barbara stepped up to help, chiding her gently. "You really didn't have to buy all this. It's too much."
