The busy workday flew by in a blur.
Before long, the evening rolled in, marking the end of the shift.
Isabella walked out of her office and immediately spotted Harold waiting for her. He stood there holding a stunning bouquet, and the moment his eyes met hers, a bright smile broke across his strikingly handsome face.
Harold possessed an effortlessly elegant, gentlemanly charm. Whenever he smiled, it felt like a soothing, warm breeze.
Isabella loved seeing that smile.
Even before she realized she was falling for him, she had always found his presence incredibly comforting.
He brought a steady warmth into her life that she had never known.
"Ready to head out?"
Harold stepped forward, offering her the flowers.
Isabella took the bouquet, her eyes softening. "They're gorgeous. Thank you."
"Beautiful flowers for a beautiful woman."
Isabella laughed, a genuine, radiant joy reaching her eyes.
They walked out of the building together.
Most of the staff had already headed home, though everyone at the company was more than used to seeing Harold pick her up almost every single day.
The senior staff had been with Isabella since her early studio days. Back when she launched the business, she was still known as Mrs. Adams. In those days, Ethan rarely bothered to show his face, let alone wait outside to take her home.
Harold was endlessly more attentive than Ethan ever was, and his devotion to Isabella was undeniably real.
Because they had been with her the longest, the veteran employees felt comfortable enough to tell her that choosing Harold was the best decision she could have ever made.
Life was entirely dictated by who you chose to share it with.
And building a life with a man who truly cherished you was nothing short of deeply sweet.
Stepping out of the building, Harold glanced at her. "Let's take my car. I made a dinner reservation at one of my hotels."
"Sounds perfect."

The readers' comments on the novel: After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan)
I will be devastated if Isabella and Ethan will get back together. Please, writer, Isabella deserves Harold....
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...
