After I Stopped Loving Him novel Chapter 988

Harold eased his hold, gently moving Isabella back so she could look at him.

“Isabella.”

He looked at her, eyes soft. “Starting today, I’m done with business dinners at night. Let’s go on dates every evening, just the two of us. Wherever you want to go, I’ll be there. I want our time together to be sweet, something we both remember.”

Honestly, he’d never really experienced proper dating either. He wanted to know what real romance felt like.

“But if you skip out on business events, won’t that hurt your company?” Isabella asked, concern lacing her voice.

As CEO, there was always some work obligation calling.

Harold and Ethan both had their calendars packed. Their lives were full of endless meetings and responsibilities. Most heirs in wealthy families barely had time to date, so they ended up in business marriages. Usually, they’d known their future partner for years and just got together when the timing was right, hardly ever having the luxury of an actual romance.

It wasn’t that they never wanted to date. Life was just too busy, with both partners dedicated to their own careers.

Sometimes things got so hectic that even answering a call from family felt impossible.

Harold shook his head. “It’s fine. I’m still just the next in line at The Carter Group. I don’t fully run things yet. My dad still calls the shots, unlike Ethan, whose dad stepped aside already. So if I skip a few events at night, the company won’t even notice.”

“Honestly, my dad will probably just get more tired picking up the slack. If he knew I was finally in a relationship, he’d probably wish I spent my days with you, too.”

Being just over thirty wasn’t exactly old, but in the eyes of anxious parents, staying single at that age made them worry nonstop.
