Isabella met his gaze.
Then she leaned against his shoulder and said, "Harold, thank you for understanding."
Barring any accidents, she would marry Harold in the future.
But not right now.
"It's only right. We're going to spend the rest of our lives together. We have to trust and understand each other. No matter what difficulties we face, we need to help each other out. That's how we'll make it last a lifetime."
Isabella murmured in agreement.
He was right.
Whether now or in the future, the two of them needed mutual trust and understanding.
Isabella spent the day at the Carter family home and only headed back with her mother and uncle's family after dinner.
Harold insisted on driving them. He had a place in that area anyway, so it was on the way.
Isabella didn't refuse.
Her uncle and aunt rode in Harold's car, wanting to chat with him about his future with Isabella.
In Isabella's car, once they drove out of the villa neighborhood, her mother asked her, "Isabella, what do you think of The Carter Family?"
"They're great."
"How do they compare to The Adams Family?"
Isabella fell silent for a moment before replying, "It's not that The Adams Family is bad. They just aren't a good fit for me."
"The Carters are more open-minded. They know how to respect their children and understand what they want. They genuinely care."
Pausing for a second, she added, "Of course, the contrast is huge. When I married Ethan, I was just the Lane family's invisible stepdaughter, not a real Lane heiress. My status was awkward, and I had nothing to my name."
Not to mention she had no backing.
Back then, even her own mother couldn't be her safety net.
She had lacked love.
Truly, deeply starved for it.

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...
