"Though, if Isabella and I get married and have kids, I wouldn't mind you being their godfather."
He certainly wasn't going to turn down another person waiting to shower his future children with love.
Ethan locked eyes with Harold. He searched the other man's face for any sign of jealousy, but there was only unwavering confidence. Harold looked like a man who had already won the war, certain that absolutely no one could steal Isabella away from him.
Harold's internal logic was bulletproof. He was Isabella's boyfriend now. He was the man standing by her side. He had secured his victory—why would he bother getting possessive over a few harmless comments?
Ethan's little remarks were obvious traps, and Harold had zero intention of taking the bait.
As former friends, they knew exactly how the other ticked. Ethan was paralyzed by his injuries right now, physically incapable of doing anything but acting magnanimous about Harold and Isabella's relationship. But once Ethan fully recovered and returned to Cabinda? Would he really sit back and do nothing?
Harold highly doubted it.
He wouldn't let his guard down until Ethan was married to someone else and blissfully settled down with the new Mrs. Adams.
The two men simply stared at each other, the room stretching out in a thick, silent standoff.
Isabella glanced from Harold to Ethan and burst into a sudden laugh. "The way you two are staring at each other right now... you look like a couple."
"Gross," Ethan instantly scoffed. "I'm a perfectly straight guy. I don't go for men."
He shuddered dramatically.
"Isabella, I like women, I swear! Harold, on the other hand... well, that's up for debate. He hasn't shown interest in a single woman in years. Half the girls in the city have thrown themselves at him, and he’s rejected every last one of them."
"He and Jesse used to be practically inseparable. If Laura hadn't swept Jesse away, I really would've started questioning their sexuality."
Harold's expression instantly darkened. "Watch your mouth, Ethan. Jesse and I are just buddies who hang out a lot. You really have the nerve to talk? Weren't you, Jordan, and Natalie constantly joined at the hip?"
"For all we know, you swing both ways. Maybe you were into both Jordan and Natalie."

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...
