After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 1023
He had lost any chance to start over with Isabella. Her feelings for him had already faded, and she didn’t love him anymore.
Even in his dreams, all he felt was regret and sorrow. When he woke up, nothing had changed… He was still drowning in remorse.
In reality, Isabella had asked for a divorce much sooner. They hadn’t even been married a full year before she told him she wanted out and then walked away. In his dream, at least, she was willing to stick around as his wife in name for three years.
But whether it was in his dream or in real life, he and Isabella had never truly been husband and wife. Since their wedding, they’d always slept apart…
“Isabella, I… I’m sorry.” Ethan’s words came out strained. He felt so weak these days that even speaking left him exhausted.
“You should be sorry,” Isabella replied evenly. “But the truth is, we don’t have anything to do with each other anymore. I don’t want to dig up the past. We both need to let go, so we can actually start living again.”
“Do you… hate me?” Ethan looked at her, unsure if he really wanted to hear the answer.
His eyes started to shine with unshed tears. That feeling, the realization that it was too late to turn back, was just crushing. The regret was overwhelming.
When he married her, he’d genuinely thought he was doing her a favor, giving her the title of Mrs. Adams. He believed it was something people could only dream of.
He gave her that title, a comfortable life, a big house, a nice car, and a monthly allowance that was always paid on time.
He thought that as long as she didn’t get greedy and ask for his love, they could go on like that forever.
But Isabella, whether in his dreams or in reality, had never wanted that kind of life. In his dream, she’d tried for three years, fought for his affection, but never won his heart.
Eventually, she gave up, let go, signed the divorce papers, and walked away with nothing. She died alone and miserable.

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...
