After I Stopped Loving Him novel Chapter 541

“That’s pretty generous,” Laura said, smiling. “Way more generous than Jackson was with Cynthia.”

“There’s still the one-month cooling-off period, though. If it weren’t for that, I could get the divorce certificate tomorrow.”

If either of them decided to withdraw the application during the waiting period, the whole divorce would fall through. If she wanted out for good, she’d have to go to court.

She just hoped it would all go smoothly.

“For the next thirty days, I’m keeping my distance. As long as we don’t see each other and don’t talk, I doubt he’ll change his mind.”

If avoiding him wasn’t possible, she’d just give him the cold shoulder. Ethan was always so proud, there’s no way he could stand her freezing him out. That alone would keep him from having second thoughts.

Laura tried to reassure her. “Don’t worry, it’s not going to get complicated. Let’s look on the bright side.”

“Yeah, positive thoughts. If I hadn’t just gotten out of the hospital, I’d be dragging you out for drinks to celebrate my new life.”

“Give it a month. Once you have the divorce certificate and you’re fully recovered, we’ll have plenty of time to celebrate. Drinks are on me. We’ll invite Linda and Barbara, and the four of us won’t go home until we’re good and tipsy.”

Isabella laughed. “Deal. As soon as I get that certificate, you three are coming out with me. We’re celebrating, no excuses.”

“Absolutely.”

While Isabella was buzzing with excitement, Ethan found himself wandering the yard alone. He tried to remember if he and Isabella had ever spent time out here together after they got married, but nothing came to mind. They hardly ever took walks together.

Before he realized it, he’d ended up in front of the swing set and just stopped there.

He remembered Isabella sitting on this swing once after they got married. That was his only memory of her here.
