She instinctively paused her steps.
Sensing her sudden anxiety, Harold immediately reached out and wrapped his hand around hers. "Don't be nervous," he murmured softly. "They're great, I promise."
She had met his mother before, but his aunts, uncles, and grandmother were completely new faces.
Barbara smiled encouragingly. "Just treat it like your own home. No need to be formal."
The siblings kept their voices low, but the elders in the room caught the movement and all turned their attention toward the doorway. Mustering her courage, Isabella let Harold lead her into the room.
"Grandma, Mom, Dad. Isabella and Cynthia are here," Harold announced, proceeding to introduce Isabella to the rest of the family.
Isabella greeted everyone with a polite, radiant smile. Cynthia and the others followed suit. Samantha immediately stood up, warmly ushering Cynthia over to sit next to her, while Arthur invited Zachary and Amelia to take a seat.
Salome looked visibly older and more fragile than Stephanie Adams, lacking the Adams matriarch's brisk, commanding energy. She sat on the sofa, looking slightly lethargic, as if she might nod off if her children weren't actively engaging her in conversation.
But at the sound of Harold's voice, she perked up. She lifted her head and studied Isabella closely. After a thorough assessment, she suddenly understood exactly why her eldest grandson was so captivated.
The young woman was breathtakingly beautiful, but more than that, she carried herself with an incredible elegance. She radiated confidence and an undeniable magnetism. It was no wonder the Adams boy was drowning in regret after their divorce.

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...
