“Isabella, did something happen to Ethan?” Natalie tried to keep her voice steady, even though she was obviously upset.
“We’re done, Natalie. I don’t know what’s going on with him. Isn’t he off on a business trip?” Isabella barely looked up from her phone.
“I heard from someone that something happened to him,” Natalie pressed, watching Isabella for any reaction.
“Then ask your friend, not me. I don’t have a clue what Ethan’s doing, and honestly, I’m not interested.”
“You really don’t know?”
“I honestly don’t.” Isabella let out a tired sigh. “My days are packed with my own stuff. I don’t have time to worry about Ethan or anyone else. We’re practically strangers now. So, don’t ask me about him anymore. Natalie, I’ve already let go of Ethan. Whether you can keep him or not is up to you. It’s got nothing to do with me. I’m dating Harold now.”
Natalie’s eyes narrowed. “What’s so special about you, Isabella? You leave Ethan and you’ve already snagged Harold. Are they blind or just crazy?”
“Actually, it’s because they see things clearly that they’re with me. Maybe it was you they were blind for. I don’t need you to see what’s good about me, as long as Harold does. When Harold and I get married, I’ll make sure you get an invitation. You saw me become Mrs. Adams and soon, you’ll see me as Mrs. Carter. I guess I have a knack for marrying into wealthy families.”
Natalie’s face twisted with jealousy.
“If you came just to ask about Ethan, Natalie, you can go. I don’t know anything. If there’s nothing else, I’m ending this call.”
Isabella hung up without waiting for a reply. It wasn’t like she and Natalie ever had anything worth talking about anyway.
Natalie stood outside the door, cursing Isabella under her breath until she ran out of steam and stormed off.
From her spot on the balcony, Isabella watched Natalie's car drive away. She stayed out there for a while, sinking into the basket chair, staring out at the city in the soft glow of the night.
A gentle knock broke the silence.

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...
