After I Stopped Loving Him novel Chapter 626

Isabella’s voice was icy as she spoke to Jennifer. “Jennifer, Ethan and I are already getting divorced. How could I possibly be his savior? Taking him to the hospital was the only right thing to do.”

She ended the call without another word. Deep down, Isabella knew she wouldn’t let this go until she found out the truth.

On the other end of the line, Jennifer burned with anger at being hung up on, but she could only swallow it. This was Sophia’s mess, after all. Looking at Sophia’s wide, panicked eyes, Jennifer’s hand itched to slap her again.

“Mom, I know I messed up.” Sophia curled up against the car door, shielding her head as tears slid down her face. “Please, Mom, I’m sorry. Don’t hit me again.”

She’d never been hit before, not once. Her parents had always treated her like she was precious, and everyone around her had spoiled her rotten.

Before Ava was born, Sophia could do whatever she wanted in Cabinda and no one would dare criticize her.

Her family always had her back, no matter what trouble she caused or who she offended. She’d never really known fear.

But now she was terrified, feeling the sting of her mother’s slap and the weight of real consequences for the first time. The thought of going to jail made her stomach twist. If that happened, her life would be over. There’d be no way she could ever marry Dylan.

Jennifer’s voice trembled with a mix of anger and disappointment. “Your grandma was right. We’ve spoiled you too much.”

“When this is over, you’re going abroad to study. Don’t even think about coming back without our permission. Stay there and actually learn something.”

Jennifer had made up her mind. Sending Sophia overseas was the only way to keep her from causing even bigger problems.
