Isabella and Harold headed back to Cabinda together.
The car ride was quiet. Isabella stared out the window, lost in her own thoughts. Harold kept glancing over at her, worried, but he didn’t ask anything. He knew her well enough to wait. When she was ready, she’d talk. If he pushed, she’d just shut down.
After they landed in Cabinda, Harold picked up his car at the airport where they’d left it before their rushed trip to see Ethan. They slid into the seats, the city sunlight streaming in through the windshield.
A few minutes later, Isabella finally spoke up. “Harold, do you think people can come back after they die? Like, actually be reborn?”
Her question caught him off guard. He thought for a moment before answering. “Honestly, I think when someone dies, that’s it. Life just flickers out. No one can prove that reincarnation is real. By the time you die, you can’t exactly come back and tell people what happens next. So, I guess it’s just something no one can truly know.”
He glanced over at Isabella, making sure she was listening. “That’s why I think we should really cherish the life we have, and everything and everyone in it. Don’t waste time hoping for a second chance after this is all over.”
He paused, letting his words sink in. “If rebirth was real, who would be afraid of dying? But look at the world. People die, and they’re just gone. No one comes back. That whole idea is for stories and novels, to make things exciting, but it’s not reality.”

The readers' comments on the novel: After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan)
Author, please get your characters names right. You always messing them up!...
I wish Harold will win Isabella's heart. I was so sad when Isabela was taken for granted coldly and cruelly by her supposed to be husband, and trapped,mocked and humiliated non stop by Natalie. This was so cruel, both don't deserve Isabela' forgiveness I wish for a happy ending between Isabela and Harold, he has the right to be happy after the long wait....
Frankly, the story initially was going quite good and the pacing was just right. unfortunately after Ethan got the dream of his past life, the story has been going in circles. Ethan's spouting the same nonsense every time he sees Isabella, they both have same conversations over and over. The authors monologue too has been the same for almost 400 chapters. Irrespective of which character the writing the just a repetition of what someone had gone through in the past and what made a certain character feel the emotions. York got introduced in 800 chapters yet nothing significant happened till date. Isabella is soft with Harold and kind of disgusted with Ethan, yet it is not entirely clear with whom she might end up. If she stays single i am fine with it but the story is clearly about Isabella and Ethan so almost 1000 chapters without seeing any progress in their relationship is frustrating. Except for being blindly in love and few aggressive instances with Isabella, Ethan actually isnt a bad person so i am fine if he can win her back. Even though Harold is coming off as a good second lead, i am somehow unable to warm upto him. Even the bad people in the story are not really facing any real consequences. I hate Jackson for his hypocrisy. I hate Jordan and Natalie for their self-righteouness and selfishness. I also hate Deborah, except when she is handing it out to Natalie. I am almost on the verge of dropping this story....
Why are they acting like kids 🤣😭...
Ethan is actually not that bad if we take out his blind love for Natalie...
