After I Stopped Loving Him novel Chapter 986

Isabella thought the entrance of her company would be swamped with reporters. She had braced herself for chaos, but when she got there, the place was calm and quiet. Not a single camera or microphone in sight. She let out a breath she didn’t realize she’d been holding.

Then she spotted Harold’s car in the parking lot. He was leaning against it, and when he recognized her car, a smile lit up his face. He quickly popped back into his car and emerged with a bouquet of fresh flowers.

So that was it. He must have come early and handled the press, making sure she wouldn’t be ambushed on her way in.

“Isabella.”

Harold made his way over, flowers in hand.

To Isabella, he really did look like something out of a fairytale. He was her Prince Charming, no doubt about it.

He opened the car door for her. As soon as she got out, he handed her the bouquet, his eyes soft and warm.

“Thank you. They’re beautiful. I really like them,” Isabella said, taking the flowers from him.

After everything that had happened lately, it just felt right. The paparazzi already had photos of them out shopping together, basically a date. So why not just give Harold a chance? They could try it out, see if dating worked for them.

Maybe after a year or two, if it felt right and their feelings grew stronger, she could let herself trust in marriage again.

It was true that Ethan had also spoken up for her, but if she was honest, most of her struggles these days could be traced back to him. If she and Harold became official, maybe it would finally convince Ethan to let her go for good.

There was no way she could ever start anew with Ethan. That door was closed for good.

And if Ethan was serious about staying single forever just because she wouldn’t remarry him, that was his choice. It wasn’t on her. He’d spent years single for Natalie’s sake anyway.

Harold smiled as she admired the bouquet. “I’m glad you like them. I can bring you flowers every day if you want.”

Isabella just smiled. She didn’t say no.
