After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 881

“Officer, I know I messed up, but she’s not innocent either. She stole my man. That’s why I confronted her in the first place.”

Nadine pointed straight at Isabella, turning to the crowd. “You’re all blaming me, but I only did it because she made me so mad. She took my man!”

“Nadine!” Isabella’s voice rang out, clear and cold. “If you keep spreading lies about me and ruining my reputation, I’ll sue you for defamation.”

She took a breath and looked Nadine in the eye. “Harold and I are just friends. You’re not even his girlfriend, let alone his wife. Harold’s single.”

Nadine looked like she wanted to say something, but Harold cut her off before she got the chance. He spoke to the officer. “Officer, she keeps saying she likes me, but I don’t feel the same. I’ve turned her down so many times.”

He glanced at Isabella. “The truth is, I like Isabella. Nadine’s just jealous. She came here to cause trouble because of that. Isabella didn’t do anything wrong. This is all about Nadine’s jealousy.”

The people in the crowd started murmuring, nodding as the story became clear. They realized it wasn’t a scorned girlfriend smashing up the car of her boyfriend’s lover. Nadine was just someone upset that the guy she liked had feelings for someone else.

A voice called out from the crowd. “Dude, don’t ever go for a girl like that. You deserve better.”

Harold turned to face everyone. “I’ve never agreed to date her or made her any promises. If she likes me, that’s her business, but I have every right to say no.”

He looked at Nadine, then back to the crowd. “Don’t believe her nonsense. Isabella isn’t the other woman. She’s the one I like, and I’m trying to win her over. She hasn’t even said yes yet.”

Someone chimed in, “The owner of Hearthside Coffee? She seems like a good person. No way she’d mess with someone else’s relationship. I’ve had coffee and pastries here before, the service is always great.”
