Linda set her coffee cup aside and moved over to sit next to Isabella, slipping an arm around her shoulders. “Do you really believe all those times you’ve bumped into Harold were just random? Haven’t you ever thought that maybe he actually likes you? Ethan treats Harold like a rival for a reason. Do you really think that’s just his imagination?”
Isabella stared at her, caught off guard. “Wait, Linda, are you saying Harold actually has feelings for me?”
Linda shrugged. “I’m not him, so I can’t say for sure. I’m just telling you what I’ve noticed and what I suspect.”
She grinned. “Hey, Isabella, what if I set you up with Josh? He is way better than Douglas. Douglas is cold, kind of ruthless, and will do whatever it takes to get what he wants. Josh is different. He didn’t join the family business. He chose a job he really loves and works at the best hospital in the city. He’s a great doctor, both skilled and kind. Plus, he’s good-looking, gentle, and just a genuinely nice guy. All the female doctors and nurses at the hospital have a crush on him.”
Isabella held up her hands, laughing. “Linda, please, spare me. The last thing I need is a guy with a fan club. If I even talk to him, those women will glare holes right through me. I just got out of a marriage. I want some time for myself, to really live for me for once.”
Linda chuckled. “Okay, but when you’re ready to settle down again, just let me know. I’ll introduce you to my brothers. No matter what kind of guy you like, one of them will be your type.” She wasn’t kidding. Linda had fifteen brothers, all with their own personalities. But every single one of them was seriously handsome. In the looks department, they could definitely hold their own next to Isabella.
Isabella smiled, but she couldn’t help replaying Linda’s words in her mind. Lately, she really had been running into Harold a lot on her way to work. Was it just a coincidence, or was he going out of his way to see her?
Linda rambled on, mostly to herself. “Isabella, do you think Douglas and Melissa have that whole enemies-to-lovers thing going on?”
“I don’t know. Maybe Douglas likes her, but I doubt Melissa feels the same,” Isabella replied. “Honestly, I don’t know either of them well enough to say.”
She’d met Melissa before, but they weren’t close. All she knew was that Melissa ran The Mason Group. She was famous for being cold and distant, the ultimate ice queen. Whenever Melissa looked at her, Isabella always felt this urge to shrink away, like Melissa found her completely useless.

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