Harold beamed at the news. "I'm always in for a treat when I come here. Whether you or Cynthia are cooking, the food is always incredible. Honestly, I think I've put on a few pounds just from eating breakfast with you all every weekend."
Ethan rolled his eyes, mentally scoffing. *What a kiss-ass.*
Amelia and Cynthia were decent cooks, but Harold was a billionaire accustomed to Michelin-starred dining. To hear him praise a simple home-cooked meal like it was a gourmet masterpiece was nauseating.
But the real sting was knowing Isabella was cooking for him. In the past, Isabella used to spend hours in the kitchen preparing his favorite meals, carefully packing nutrient-rich soups to deliver to his office. Harold had never experienced that level of devotion from her. The thought brought a small, bitter sense of satisfaction to Ethan's chest. Isabella had loved him deeply once—arguably more than she loved Harold now.
"Make sure you eat plenty then," Amelia laughed warmly. Then, her smile faded slightly as she turned her attention to Ethan. "Mr. Adams, your health is still fragile. You really shouldn't be wandering around so much. You need to be resting in bed."
"Isabella has the day off today, so I wanted to see her," Ethan replied smoothly, ignoring the hint. He held up the bouquet. "I cut these fresh from my garden this morning. I wanted to bring them over to brighten her day."
Amelia glanced guiltily at Harold before looking back at Ethan, letting out a defeated sigh. She stepped aside to let him pass. "She's just going to yell at you the second she sees you."

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...
