After I Stopped Loving Him novel Chapter 720

“Laura, ready to head home? I’m here to pick you up.”

Jesse walked in, stopping short when he saw a room full of big guys scattered around the shop. It took him a second, but then he understood and shot his friends a knowing smile.

“Jesse, you’re here for Laura? Come sit, take my seat.” Ethan jumped up right away and waved him over.

Harold wasn’t far behind. He stood too, reaching out to pull Jesse his way. “No, Jesse, sit here.”

“Come on, I offered first,” Ethan insisted, grabbing Jesse’s arm.

Jesse wasn’t their rival in love. Actually, he could be their secret weapon. Laura, the girl he liked, was Isabella’s best friend, and Isabella trusted Laura more than anyone. If Laura put in a good word, maybe Isabella would finally notice one of them. That meant both guys were falling over themselves to win Jesse over.

Jesse looked from Ethan to Harold, then at the girls. He understood exactly what they were up to. Not wanting to pick sides, he untangled himself from their hands and walked straight to the counter.

“Laura, it’s late. I don’t like you heading home alone. Let me drive you.”

Laura shut down the computer, grabbed her bag, and turned to Isabella. “I’m heading out. Lock up when you’re done, okay?”

“Yeah, I got it.”

Laura and Jesse left, glancing back at the coffee shop a couple of times as they stepped out.

In the car, Laura buckled up and glanced at Jesse. “Ethan’s finally starting to panic. Should’ve thought about that sooner.”
