Isabella smiled warmly. "Exactly, it's the person that matters most. Jesse is a fantastic guy. He and Harold are best friends, and birds of a feather flock together. They're cut from the same cloth—dedicated and responsible when it comes to love."
"Sometimes I feel like I'm dreaming. I'm not some extraordinary girl, I'm not drop-dead gorgeous, and my family is just middle-class. He literally just met me by chance at a dinner with an author friend, and immediately said he liked me."
Initially, Jesse had approached her posing as a fan of her writing.
Once Laura found out who he really was, she tried to distance herself. But Jesse refused to give up. He stayed by her side, quietly supporting her until he finally won her heart, and they naturally became a couple.
Now that he had proposed, the two families had probably already discussed the wedding date in secret.
Isabella was genuinely thrilled to see her best friend so happy.
In her previous life, right up until the day she died, Laura had still been single. Her family pressured her endlessly to settle down, but she could never find the right guy. Jesse had been single back then, too.
In that life, Laura and Jesse had barely crossed paths.
Because Isabella had been consumed by jealousy over Natalie, constantly fighting with her while Ethan blatantly favored his childhood friend, she had been drowning in bitterness. Her constant arguments with Ethan meant that Harold and Jesse—who both despised Jordan and Natalie—kept their distance from the Adams family.
Because of the constant marital warfare, Ethan's friends stopped coming around, which meant Laura and Jesse never had the chance to connect.
Isabella realized now that Laura and Jesse were always meant for each other. They had just missed their chance in the previous timeline.
In this life, she had changed her attitude, and her luck had improved—and it seemed to have rippled out to her friends, finally bringing Laura and Jesse together.
"Love is completely unpredictable," Isabella said gently. "Some people know each other since childhood and never end up together. Others lock eyes once, and their hearts belong to each other for a lifetime. We don't need to overanalyze the reasons. He loves you, and you love him. Mutual affection and the blessing of both families—that's the ultimate happiness."

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...
