After I Stopped Loving Him novel Chapter 857

“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.
