After I Stopped Loving Him novel Chapter 64

“I just don’t get it,” Harold said, his voice full of worry. “How could someone as smart as Ethan do something so reckless? He’s completely wrapped around Natalie’s finger. To be honest, Natalie isn’t even as pretty or as classy as Isabella. If you ask me, Isabella is the real deal, the kind of woman you’d expect from an old-money family. Ethan must be blind if he can’t see how amazing she is.”

Harold never missed a chance to praise Isabella. Jesse watched him, more and more convinced that Harold had a thing for her, even if he’d never admit it.

What a mess. Ethan liked Natalie, Natalie was crazy about Jordan, and if Harold really liked Isabella, then everything was tangled up. No wonder Ethan’s friends were all in this kind of drama. Well, except Jesse. He quickly shook off the thought. He definitely wasn’t interested in anyone’s wife.

“They grew up together, of course their feelings run deep,” Jesse said, his tone calm. “Harold, just forget about Ethan’s love life. Come on, let’s head back and find something good to eat.”

He stood up, ready to leave.

“But Isabella’s still flying her kite,” Harold pointed out.

“Let her enjoy herself. She didn’t come with us anyway. We just need to tell her we’re leaving. Honestly, I think she prefers to keep her distance from us.”

Harold mulled that over, then slowly got up and walked over to where Isabella stood, her eyes on the sky. He told her he and Jesse were heading back.

“You and Mr. Mason go ahead,” Isabella said with a bright smile. “I want to stay a while longer.”

She was having so much fun she didn’t want to leave yet. Going back meant more boredom indoors, so why bother? The beach was lively, people everywhere, and she was even competing with two kids to see whose kite could go higher.

Harold looked like he wanted to say something else, but in the end, he just let it go. He and Jesse left the beach together.

At the same time, Jordan and Natalie finally returned from their boat trip, their arms full of fresh seafood. Once back at their family’s beachside villa, they heard from the young butler that Ethan and Isabella were vacationing nearby too.
