After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 1162
"Harold, York doesn't actually like me. Whatever stunts he pulls in the future, it's solely to sabotage our relationship. Don't let him mess with your head."
Isabella was terrified that York's twisted games would eventually plant seeds of doubt in Harold's mind.
Right now, Harold trusted her implicitly.
But over time, if people kept whispering rumors in his ear, his resolve might waver, leading to suspicion and misunderstandings.
That was how so many relationships died. They started out bulletproof, but under relentless sabotage by manipulative outsiders, someone would eventually crack and start doubting the other.
Harold immediately replied, "I would never doubt you, Isabella. I can tell York isn't genuinely interested in you. We're both men; I have at least that much intuition."
"No matter what anyone says, I will always trust you, and you have to always trust me. We need to rely on each other. If there's ever friction, we communicate and solve it immediately. We don't let it fester overnight, because that's when misunderstandings breed."
"We're going to spend the rest of our lives together. If your rival tries to feed you lies about me, don't listen to them either."
Isabella smiled warmly. "I promise. I have complete faith in your character."
She had known this man across two lifetimes; his integrity was unquestionable.
Her actual concern was his social circle—people who didn't know her well, or his elders who might easily swallow toxic rumors.
That was her true fear.
A marriage without the blessing of the family elders rarely lasted, a bitter reality Isabella had already tasted.
The elevator reached the ground floor, and the two walked out of the hotel, leaving together.
Back in the penthouse suite, York sat in absolute silence for ten minutes before summoning a bodyguard.
"Boss."
The man stepped inside, approaching him with deep respect.

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...
