“Ethan, what if your dreams actually happened?” Isabella’s voice was barely above a whisper. “Do you believe in starting over… being given another shot?”
Ethan stayed silent.
Those strange dreams had messed with him. He’d been so caught up in them that after waking, he couldn’t tell what was real anymore.
But it wasn’t real, he reminded himself. Isabella was alive, healthy. She hadn’t died. She was running her own company now, making good money. She was doing miles better than she ever was in his dreams.
“To be honest, I’m not sure if it was just a dream or something that really happened,” Isabella said softly. “On our wedding night, I cried myself to sleep. It felt like I dreamed an entire lifetime. When I woke up, I was so out of it… I couldn’t separate the dream from reality. I cried for days afterward.”
“You know what I did after that,” she continued quietly.
“I’m sure everyone thinks I’ve changed. Natalie probably even told you I’m not myself, that I’m like someone else now. Maybe even possessed.”
Ethan pressed his lips together, then managed a small nod.
“I don’t really care if it was all in my head or not. Once I realized that if I stayed in love with you and kept fighting with Natalie, it would only end badly for me, of course I decided to change my fate.”
“Ethan, we’re already divorced. Let’s let things end peacefully. I don’t want us to end up like we did in the dream, with nothing good left between us and me dead because of it. I can’t imagine you were any happier after I died, right?”

The readers' comments on the novel: After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan)
Author, please get your characters names right. You always messing them up!...
I wish Harold will win Isabella's heart. I was so sad when Isabela was taken for granted coldly and cruelly by her supposed to be husband, and trapped,mocked and humiliated non stop by Natalie. This was so cruel, both don't deserve Isabela' forgiveness I wish for a happy ending between Isabela and Harold, he has the right to be happy after the long wait....
Frankly, the story initially was going quite good and the pacing was just right. unfortunately after Ethan got the dream of his past life, the story has been going in circles. Ethan's spouting the same nonsense every time he sees Isabella, they both have same conversations over and over. The authors monologue too has been the same for almost 400 chapters. Irrespective of which character the writing the just a repetition of what someone had gone through in the past and what made a certain character feel the emotions. York got introduced in 800 chapters yet nothing significant happened till date. Isabella is soft with Harold and kind of disgusted with Ethan, yet it is not entirely clear with whom she might end up. If she stays single i am fine with it but the story is clearly about Isabella and Ethan so almost 1000 chapters without seeing any progress in their relationship is frustrating. Except for being blindly in love and few aggressive instances with Isabella, Ethan actually isnt a bad person so i am fine if he can win her back. Even though Harold is coming off as a good second lead, i am somehow unable to warm upto him. Even the bad people in the story are not really facing any real consequences. I hate Jackson for his hypocrisy. I hate Jordan and Natalie for their self-righteouness and selfishness. I also hate Deborah, except when she is handing it out to Natalie. I am almost on the verge of dropping this story....
Why are they acting like kids 🤣😭...
Ethan is actually not that bad if we take out his blind love for Natalie...
