After I Stopped Loving Him novel Chapter 990

“What are you two whispering about over there? Trying to keep secrets from me?” Laura’s curiosity got the better of her.

Linda straightened up, spun around, and hooked her arm through Laura’s. She flashed a warm smile. “Absolutely nothing. We were just saying how gorgeous you are, inside and out. And honestly, Jesse’s got great taste.”

If Douglas actually had feelings for Melissa, that would make Jesse his future brother-in-law. And Laura was clearly important to Jesse, so maintaining a good relationship with her was a must.

Thankfully, Laura and Linda clicked. They might not be as close as Linda was with Isabella, but they’d become genuine friends.

Melissa kept people at arm’s length, but she had integrity. She’d never said a bad word about Linda, and honestly, Linda respected her for that.

“That’s the biggest lie I’ve heard all week,” Laura laughed. “I know myself. I’d never call myself beautiful, not when I’m standing next to you and Isabella.”

“Well, I don’t care what you say. To me, you are totally beautiful and kind,” Linda insisted.

Laura exchanged a look with Isabella, who smiled back knowingly. After a second, Laura realized why Linda was suddenly being so affectionate.

Linda was always stressing about her army of brothers and their nonexistent love lives.

But what could she do? She and her brothers were so picky. Barely any girls caught their interest, and to top it off, any girl had to get along with Linda before any of the guys would actually make a move.

Linda meant well, but she wasn’t exactly a saint. She tended to be blunt. Some people thought she was loud or too much, but that never bothered her.

People envied her, or maybe they just pretended to be nice, but flattery never worked on Linda. That’s probably why some people never got close.

If people talked smack behind her back, Linda pretended not to hear. If she caught it in person, though, she had no problem letting them know how she really felt.
