You can use the following regular expression in Notepad++.

Find: \b(Loves.*")$
Replace: \1 Very Much

Note: Make sure "Regular expression" is checked and . matches newline is unchecked.

This is untested but should work. Make sure case-insensitive matching is on. Search:

(Loves.*")$

Replace

$1 Very Much

Also, make sure you're doing a global replace (Replace All). Otherwise, it will only match the first instance after the cursor. See this Regex101 demo
