After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 1098
Salome smiled warmly at Isabella. "Harold is fiercely loyal when it comes to love. He has a ruthless side to him, certainly, but he has a tender side too, and he saves all that tenderness entirely for you."
"His feelings for you are completely genuine. You didn't make a mistake choosing our Harold."
Hearing his grandmother's praise brought a faint flush to Harold's handsome face, though he straightened his posture proudly. She was telling the truth. As the heir to the Carter Group, he couldn't afford to be soft. He had a ruthless edge, but he reserved it strictly for his corporate rivals. To the people he cared about, he was patient and warm.
And his deepest devotion was reserved solely for Isabella, the woman he wanted by his side for the rest of his life.
Isabella looked at him, catching his gaze. Meeting his eyes, she saw nothing but bottomless affection and warmth.
Honestly, having known him across two lifetimes, she had never actually witnessed his ruthless side. Even now, navigating the business world and mingling with industry titans, she would occasionally hear hushed whispers about Harold's brutal business tactics. Yet, to her, he had never been anything but an incredibly considerate, protective partner.
Maybe he really did save all his softness just for her. She didn't care how the rest of the world saw him; to her, he was an amazing man, and his goodness toward her was all that mattered. As long as he wasn't doing anything illegal, she didn't mind if he played hardball in the boardroom. She was a businesswoman herself now—she knew what it took to survive. When she went head-to-head with Natalie in the corporate arena, she was just as cutthroat, actively wishing for Natalie's company to crash and burn.
Isabella smiled back at him before turning to Salome. "I know his heart is true. I've never once doubted his feelings for me."
"I'm incredibly grateful that he never judged me for my past. He helped me so much even before we were together, and now he treats me like I'm his whole world. I feel his love every single day."

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...
