"Exactly. We haven't had a proper date yet," Harold agreed.
"I was starting to feel like I needed to complain about you neglecting your boyfriend for work."
"Especially after Ethan got discharged from the hospital. I was terrified you'd drift back to him. He lives right next door—he has the home-field advantage."
"That's impossible. I told you, there is absolutely zero chance for him and me," Isabella laughed.
"You can tell me if something bothers you. Don't bottle it up. I know I've neglected you, and I haven't given you enough of my time."
"It's fine. I don't mind bottling it up as long as I get to see you every day. That's enough for me."
Their current routine consisted of a brief chat over breakfast, and then he would pick her up after work so they could talk on the drive home.
Catching a movie together felt like a rare luxury.
"Isabella, is your soup really that amazing? Ethan mentioned you used to cook and make soup for him all the time."
Since becoming her boyfriend, Harold realized he had barely tasted any of her cooking.
He was jealous.
Ethan had enjoyed so much more of her than he currently did.
"Not really. I only made soup for him when we were dating. After we got married, I stopped. Susan usually made it, and I just delivered it to him."
"My cooking is just okay. It can't compare to your private chefs. But if you don't mind, I can whip up some home-cooked meals for you when I have time."
In her past life, Isabella had constantly cooked for Ethan.
During the three months he pursued her, she had brewed countless nourishing soups for him.

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...
