“Don’t like these flowers? Tell me what you do like, I’ll get them for you next time.”
Ethan just never knew when to quit.
Isabella looked at him, her voice flat. “Ethan, are you even listening? I don’t like any flowers. If they’re from you, I don’t want them.”
Ethan’s smile faded bit by bit.
“So you really dislike me that much?”
“If I told you I did, would you finally keep your distance?”
Ethan didn’t even hesitate. “No. I won’t leave you. Even if you can’t stand me, at least I still get a reaction out of you.”
Isabella brushed past him, heading straight for her office.
“Isabella. Isabella.”
Ethan trailed after her, but she slipped inside and shut the door in his face, the sound echoing down the hallway.
He stood outside, too nervous to force his way in, worried he’d just make things worse.
Harold didn’t bother trying to compete for Isabella’s attention. Once she was in her office, he got up and walked over to Nana’s desk, offering her a polite smile. “I’m Harold from The Carter Group. I’d like to discuss a potential collaboration with Isabella. Could you let her know for me?”
He was calm, respectful, following all the right steps, which was more than Ethan could say.
Ethan just stood there, speechless.
Nana’s whole vibe changed for Harold. She picked up the phone, called Isabella’s extension, and after getting the okay, led Harold inside.

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