“Mom.”
Isabella walked over, shot a quick glance at Ethan, and then slipped her arm through her mother’s, all smiles and warmth.
She spotted Zachary and Amelia stepping out of the car with the bodyguards and called out a greeting to them as well.
“Cynthia, hi.” Harold offered a polite nod.
“Harold.” Cynthia smiled back at him. She’d always thought well of Harold.
As the bodyguards started unloading the suitcases, Harold moved to help, but Ethan cut him off. “Take everything inside, don’t bother Harold with it,” he told the men.
So Harold didn’t even get his hands on a bag before the Adams family bodyguards had whisked the luggage away into the villa.
Isabella glanced over at Ethan, who was already looking at her. When their eyes met, he explained, “I just happened to be dropping off a really important client at the airport. He needed to rush back, so he bought a last-minute ticket. That’s why it was such a late flight.”
“On my way back, I ran into your mom and Zachary and the others, so I gave them a ride.”
Isabella thanked him.
“No need to thank me. It was on my way. It’s not like I went there just to pick up Mom.”
“They’ve just spent hours on a plane, so you should get them inside to rest. I’m heading home myself. I’ve got a business trip tomorrow and my flight’s at 9:50 in the morning. I’ll have to get up super early.”
Isabella was quiet for a moment. Then she said, “Since you have to catch a flight tomorrow, I won’t keep you. Go home and get some rest.”
Ethan’s eyes sparkled. He shook his head. “No rush. I’m only going to check on the branch office. I have a place to stay over there, so I don’t even need to pack. Makes things so much easier. At least I get to skip the whole packing ordeal.”
“Honestly, it’s no trouble for me to stay a little while. I could even have a late-night snack. Doesn’t bother me at all.”
Harold had to bite back a laugh. He thought, This guy’s been itching to come inside all along.

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...
