Once Isabella stepped into the elevator, Ethan rushed off to his meeting.
The meeting dragged on for an hour. When it finally ended, Ethan hung around his office for a little while, then decided to leave early since lunchtime was coming up. He made a quick stop at the flower shop, picked out a beautiful bouquet, and asked his driver to take him to Isabella’s studio.
As soon as they arrived, the driver dropped Ethan off and left, just like Ethan had told him to do. When Ethan was with Isabella, he never needed a ride home. She would never let him walk.
Ethan took the elevator up, flowers in hand. As soon as the doors opened on Isabella’s floor, he spotted Harold and Barbara ahead of him, walking toward Isabella’s office. They had beaten him there by a few minutes.
The sight instantly annoyed Ethan. He was convinced Harold was only tagging along with Barbara to get closer to Isabella, but he couldn’t prove it. He couldn’t even bring it up without sounding crazy.
Without thinking, Ethan called out. “Harold!”
Both Harold and Barbara turned around. When they saw it was Ethan, they stopped and waited for him to catch up.
By now, the studio staff had gotten used to seeing these two big shots around the office. They used to be impossible to meet, but now they were regulars. Then again, their boss was Mrs. Adams.
“Ethan,” they greeted him at the same time.
Barbara noticed the flowers he was carrying and smiled. “This is the second time I’ve caught you bringing flowers for Isabella. I’m honestly jealous. You two still act like newlyweds.”
Barbara made sure Harold heard that. It wasn’t that she didn’t care about the web series. She just didn’t want Harold dragging her here all the time, but he kept pestering her until she gave in. Lately, Harold had even started watching web series just so he’d have something to talk about with them.
“Sweetheart, I brought you flowers. I hope every day is as beautiful as they are.”
Isabella was at her desk, talking with Laura and one of the writers. She flinched at Ethan’s tone. Laura just rolled her eyes. She was in on the secret too, and she felt the same as Harold and Barbara. The writer just stared at Ethan, confused.
Ethan hadn’t expected the room to be so crowded, and the fake sweetness in his voice now just sounded awkward and high-pitched.
He quickly recovered. “Oh, you’re still busy. Sorry for interrupting.”
Isabella let out a breath. She definitely preferred regular Ethan over the overly affectionate act.

The readers' comments on the novel: After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan)
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...
