After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 1125
"I trust you implicitly. I won't interfere if you don't want me to. My girlfriend is a force of nature. Barbara never stops raving about you to Salome. Even Salome says you're a woman destined for greatness."
Harold wanted to help her, but he respected her boundaries and knew she needed the space to sharpen her instincts.
To conquer the business world, you had to dive into the trenches and build your own armor.
If he fought all her battles, she'd never learn how to win on her own.
"Salome just adores her eldest grandson," Isabella teased. "She only says those things because she knows you like me."
In her past life, Isabella felt she had been entirely cursed, devoid of any luck or greatness.
She had married into a top-tier billionaire family, only to suffer endlessly and die penniless, without even a place to call home.
It was only in this life—after cutting Ethan out entirely—that her world had begun to bloom.
Perhaps Ethan had been a black hole, swallowing all her good fortune.
The moment she escaped him, her luck had returned in full force.
"That's not entirely true," Harold smiled warmly. "My grandmother genuinely adores you and respects you for who you are."
"Should we stop and buy a gift basket?" he asked.
"For her? Absolutely not," Isabella scoffed. "I wouldn't waste a single dime. Besides, do you really think she'd dare eat anything I brought her? She'd probably toss it in the trash before we even hit the elevator."
"I'm not exactly swimming in extra cash, and I'm definitely not throwing it away on her. I've been working all day, and I'm visiting her at this ungodly hour. That's more grace than she deserves."
Isabella would never admit out loud that she was purely there to revel in Natalie's misery.
She was far too kindhearted a person to kick someone while they were down.
If Natalie heard that, she would likely grind her teeth to dust: Get the hell out! No one asked you to be here!
Harold laughed out loud. "I love it."
He had been half-worried she was going to play the polite guest.
The hospital wasn't far, and with the midnight traffic nonexistent, they arrived in record time.

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...
