After I Stopped Loving Him novel Chapter 703

Jesse glanced over his shoulder and noticed Laura still hadn't gone to eat, so he nudged her again.

"Oh, right, I'm going now."

Laura headed into the kitchen. There was a plate of food waiting for her, still warm from the pot. She carried it to the dining table, sat down, and took a bite, savoring what Jesse had made.

Back when he first started cooking, Jesse wasn't great, but now his food just kept getting better. He didn't cook at her place all that often, so Laura suspected he might be practicing on his own at home. Probably for her.

He did so many things for her, always quietly, never asking for attention. Half the time, she didn't even realize what he'd done unless someone else told her, like when Linda and Barbara mentioned he’d helped her family’s business grow by sending new clients their way.

Laura’s phone started ringing. She glanced at the screen. It was her mom.

She picked up.

"Laura, did you eat yet?" Evelyn asked. "I wanted to talk to you about something."

"Go ahead, Mom. What is it?" Laura said, taking another bite. "I'm eating now."

Evelyn sighed. "No matter how busy you get with work, you still have to eat on time. You can’t keep waiting until now. Skipping meals is bad for your stomach."

"I know, Mom. It only happens sometimes. What did you want to say?"

Her mom chuckled. "Your uncle wants to introduce you to someone. He thinks you should come home and meet him. He says the guy’s really great, has a good job, and his family’s simple, just three people. He’s an only child, so you wouldn't have to worry about any complicated family drama. His parents are both really kind, too."

Laura didn’t even have to think about it. "Mom, I’m not doing any blind dates. Tell Uncle thanks, but he doesn’t need to set me up."
