After I Stopped Loving Him novel Chapter 1158

Isabella calmly looked at York.

In her past life, she had never met this man before she died. She never expected their paths to cross now.

"Mr. Austin, there is no need to force yourself to put on a show."

Isabella continued, "You don't like me. With your status, there's really no need to pretend. No matter how well you act, there isn't a shred of genuine affection in your eyes."

He could fool outsiders who didn't know the truth, but he couldn't fool her.

York smiled. "You aren't me, Isabella. How do you know I'm acting? You're stunning, and I'm a sucker for a pretty face. I love beautiful women just like you. I'm not acting at all—I truly like you."

"You shouldn't hang yourself on one tree. Look around at the other options. I don't think I'm any less of a catch than Harold. You should really consider me."

Isabella maintained her stoic demeanor. "Mr. Austin, you went through all this trouble to make me come to you. Just say it—what do you want?"

The smile on York's face didn't fade, but a glimmer of genuine appreciation surfaced in his gaze.

He said, "You've gotten much smarter since you left Ethan."

"I was never stupid."

"But you weren't like this before. The old you seemed weak and endlessly tolerant. You loved Ethan with all your heart, loving him half to death. With him so obsessed with Natalie, you must have drowned in jealousy."

Isabella let out a silent scoff. Here it was.

The probing had begun.

This man was definitely reborn.

What was the hand of fate thinking? How could a criminal from the underworld get a second chance at life?

She had died unjustly in her past life, swearing she would never choose Ethan again if given a second chance, and miraculously, she was granted one.
