After I Stopped Loving Him novel Chapter 603

“He’s always been pretty straightforward when it comes to relationships.” That was just the truth.

She couldn’t pretend Ethan had ever been reckless with love.

“Yeah, he’s always kept himself in check for Natalie. I let him have that, you know? Let him spend his whole life being devoted to her,” Isabella said, a little bit of sarcasm creeping into her voice. “Natalie went to see him at the hotel this afternoon and stayed for hours. He asked me to put a cold compress on his face, but I said no. So, of course, he went back to the woman he really cares about. That’s the kind of concern he actually wants. Anyway, now that we’re divorcing, there’s nothing left between us.”

There was a time when just hearing that Natalie had spent the afternoon with Ethan would have made her jealous. That feeling was gone now.

It took her two lifetimes to finally let go.

Now, it was time to start loving herself.

People always say you have to love yourself before you can really love anyone else. In her last life, she didn’t know how to take care of herself, and look where that got her—nothing but heartbreak.

Harold stayed quiet.

Isabella finished her porridge quickly. When she was done, she looked at Harold and asked, “Harold, do you need me to help with your medicine?”

Harold wanted to say yes, but in the end, he just smiled gently and shook his head. “I can handle it in front of the mirror. No need to trouble you. Isabella, this really isn’t your fault, so please don’t blame yourself.”

“But you got hurt because of me. How could I not feel responsible? Once you’re better, let me take you out to dinner as an apology.”

Harold didn’t argue. Honestly, he’d been hoping for something like that.

When Harold finished eating, Isabella stood up and got ready to leave. It didn’t feel right for just the two of them to be alone in such a big house for too long.

“I’ll walk you out,” Harold said, getting up.

“No, it’s fine, Harold. You should rest and put on that medicine. It actually works pretty well. If you use it a few times, you should be healed in a couple of days.”
