After I Stopped Loving Him novel Chapter 832

“Isabella.”

Nadine’s eyes were red, her tears threatening to spill over.

“I really love Harold. Please, I’m begging you, let him go. Don’t see him anymore. Just turn him down. Please. I can’t live without him.”

“If you just reject him and stay away, he’ll see how much I care. He’ll fall in love with me, I know he will.”

Isabella sighed. “Nadine, you’ve known Harold longer than I have. You liked him way before I even showed up. Did he ever love you back?”

“Feelings aren’t something you can force. If Harold doesn’t love you, that’s just how it is, and it has nothing to do with me. Trying to get me to back off won’t change anything. It’s not like I’m the one chasing after him and refusing to let go.”

“If you like him so much, go after him yourself. If you can win his heart, then good for you. If not, maybe you just weren’t meant to be.”

“What happens between you and Harold isn’t up to me. I’m just an outsider in all of this.”

She had already turned Harold down, but he wasn’t ready to give up. He kept telling her he’d wait as long as it took. Honestly, Isabella had always liked Harold, but she wanted to wait until her life calmed down and her business was steady before giving it any real thought.

“Just leave Cabinda,” Nadine burst out. “If you leave and never come back, Harold will forget about you.”

“Why should I leave?” Isabella shot back. “I grew up here. My family, my friends, my whole life is in Cabinda. Why should I give up everything just because you like Harold?”

Nadine’s voice trembled. “I’ll pay you. Name your price. Whatever it is, I’ll make it happen if you agree to leave.”

Isabella tilted her head, her tone casual. “If you can give me ten billion dollars, sure. I’ll pack up with my mom and never look back.”
