Harold cautioned, "You never know. They have decades of history. Ethan used to love her to the point of obsession. Even before your divorce, he treated her exceptionally well—that's what broke your heart in the first place."
"Falling in love is easy, but letting go of someone you truly loved is incredibly hard. I'm not trying to put Ethan down, Isabella. We've both known him for a long time. You know exactly what kind of man he is."
Isabella had known Ethan since she followed her mother into the Lane family.
But for twenty years, their paths rarely crossed. Ethan only had eyes for Natalie and barely noticed her.
Harold, having once been Ethan's close friend, understood the depths of that devotion perfectly.
"Who cares? That's his business, not mine," Isabella said dismissively.
"Let's drop it, Harold. We're on vacation. We should be in a good mood. Honestly, it's been a long time since I went anywhere just for fun."
"Before, I had time but no money. Making a few thousand a month meant there was nothing left after rent and groceries. I couldn't afford to travel. Now that I have money, I have no time. I'm always chasing the next deal."
"Human nature is insatiable. Once you get what you want, you just want more. It's a bottomless pit."
Harold chuckled. "From now on, you're taking weekends off. I'll take you on road trips around Cabinda. Once we explore the city, we can check out the neighboring areas, then the rest of the state, and eventually travel cross-country."
"We have a massive country. As long as we carve out the time, it'll be amazing."
Isabella sighed softly. "I'd love to take weekends off, but sitting in my position means carrying the weight of all my employees' livelihoods. I have to secure enough contracts to keep them working."

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...
