After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 1059
As soon as they stepped into the main living room, Harold gently nudged Isabella to head upstairs and rest.
Isabella smiled. "A few extra minutes won't kill me. Since you're already here, I'll keep you company for a bit and grab you a glass of water."
She turned to her mother. "Mom, it's so late. Why are you and Auntie still awake?"
Her uncle must have already gone to sleep, as he was nowhere to be seen on the first floor.
Because of his poor health, her uncle usually retired to his room strictly by nine o'clock every night.
As someone who regularly burned the midnight oil, Isabella genuinely envied and admired her uncle's ability to maintain such a strict, early-to-bed, early-to-rise schedule.
She just couldn't pull it off.
If she managed to fall asleep before midnight, it was a miracle.
As long as she got six or seven hours of sleep, she functioned perfectly fine at work the next day. But if she dipped under six hours, she needed a massive cup of coffee just to keep her eyes open.
"You weren't home yet, so I couldn't sleep," Cynthia said warmly. "I just sat here watching TV, and your aunt decided to keep me company. We started following a few dramas, so it's become a habit to watch them every night anyway."
"Plus, I was waiting for you. Now that you're home, I don't have to worry, and I can finally get a good night's sleep."
That was simply how parents were wired. Until their children were safely through the front door, their minds were entirely consumed with worry. Only when they saw their kids safe could they finally exhale.
Given all the dangerous accidents Isabella had recently survived, Cynthia's anxiety was on overdrive. Even though both Ethan and Harold had assigned bodyguards to protect Isabella from the shadows, Cynthia still worried constantly.
She waited up for her daughter every single night.
When Isabella went on business trips, the anxiety was even worse. From the moment Isabella's flight took off, Cynthia would lose her appetite and struggle with insomnia.
Her routine wouldn't return to normal until Isabella was safely back on home soil.

The readers' comments on the novel: After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan)
I will be devastated if Isabella and Ethan will get back together. Please, writer, Isabella deserves Harold....
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...
