After I Stopped Loving Him novel Chapter 119

“You could be dead for days before anyone even notices. That’s just too sad. If it were me, I’d definitely get married and have a kid, so at least when I’m old and gone, there’s someone to say goodbye.”

“That’s just how our parents think. There’s no changing their minds.” Laura rolled her eyes, imitating her mom’s tone. “She always says, ‘Humanity survives because each generation gets married and has kids. If no one did that, people would just disappear from the world.’”

Laura paused, thoughtful. “If I meet the right person, I’d get married, sure. But I’m not marrying into some rich family. The gap is just too big. In those fancy circles, my job probably isn’t even considered respectable.” If she were a classic novelist, maybe those society ladies would respect her a bit. But as an online writer, she knew they’d look down on her.

Marrying someone isn’t just about the person, it’s about the whole family. And Jesse’s world was full of people with money and status.

Laura didn’t want to wedge herself into that kind of life just to end up feeling small.

Isabella, for example, had the grand wedding with Ethan, but she’d never even set foot in The Adams Estate. She wasn’t truly accepted by Ethan’s family. In high society, Isabella didn’t count for much, not without the family’s real approval.
