After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 964
Harold smiled, his voice warm. “How could I let you worry about anything? If I could, I’d take care of every little thing for you. It’s just that you never let me help as much as I want.”
Isabella gave a soft laugh. “I’m just afraid I’ll end up owing you more than I can ever repay.”
“There’s nothing for you to pay back,” he said, reaching over to brush her hair from her face. “I want to help. Don’t ever feel like you owe me.”
She leaned back in her chair, watching the way the sunlight caught the lines of his face. He really was handsome, and that profile could’ve been carved from marble. Gentle and polished, he gave off a completely different vibe from Ethan, who was all sharp edges and swagger. Why was she even comparing them? There was no point. Ethan didn’t matter to her anymore.
“Harold,” she said quietly, “I think… I might be starting to like you.”
He grinned, eyes lighting up. “That’s the best thing I’ve heard all day.”
For a moment, the world felt lighter. Maybe hope was all she needed.
She was about to say more when her phone started buzzing. The number was unfamiliar, though she had a nagging sense she’d seen it before. Curiosity got the better of her, so she answered.
“Isabella.”
The voice on the other end was unmistakable. York.
A slight frown creased her brow. “York? What’s up?” Her tone was polite, but cool.
“Are you free tonight? I’d like to take you out to dinner,” he said, straight to the point.
She shook her head, even though he couldn’t see. “Thanks for the offer, York, but I already have plans.”
He didn’t miss a beat. “But you’re back in town, aren’t you? You didn’t go to your company or your shop today, so how are you busy? Or is it that you just don’t want to say yes to me?”
She let a small smirk slip out. “Glad you figured it out, York.”
She’d never been able to put her finger on it, but something about him always felt off. He’d never done anything blatantly wrong, but there was a calculating air to him that put her on edge. Even Harold’s people hadn’t been able to dig up anything useful about York. The guy was a total mystery.

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...
