After I Stopped Loving Him novel Chapter 898

As soon as they stepped out of the office, Harold said, “Come on, ride with me.”

“It doesn’t really matter,” Isabella replied, though she still climbed into his car. They headed to a little restaurant near the office for lunch.

While they were eating, Isabella looked up and asked, “Nadine confessed to you pretty early on, didn’t she?”

Harold nodded. “Yeah, she did, but I turned her down every time. Isabella, you’re the only one I like. If I was interested in anyone else, I wouldn’t still be single after all this time.”

Isabella was quiet for a moment before she said, “There are plenty of good women out there, you know.”

“They might be great, but they’re not you. I only want you. Maybe I’ve stayed single all this time just waiting for you to show up in my life.”

He picked up some food with the serving chopsticks and placed it gently on her plate. “You don’t want to talk about relationships right now, so we won’t. Let’s just be friends, help each other out, and if you ever need anything, just tell me. Seriously, no hesitation.”

Isabella let out a small smile. “I’m not really having any problems right now.”

Whenever she did have a problem, she’d barely started figuring it out before Ethan had already stepped in and solved it for her.

Thinking about Ethan made her smile fade. He was acting just like he had when he first started chasing her. Maybe even more so now. But she just couldn’t bring herself to trust him anymore.

She didn’t really believe he could let go of all those years he’d spent loving Natalie, either.

She pushed the thought away. Whatever. It’s not worth overthinking. Whatever happens, happens.

Harold spoke up. “So, are you going to return the car to Ethan once it’s fixed?”

She could tell he hoped she would.

“I called him. He said he never takes back anything he gives away. If I really don’t want it, I should just have it scrapped, because he isn’t going to take it back.”

“He’s always like that. He does whatever he wants, never really cares whether I like it or not.”
