After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 1088
Laura laughed softly through the phone. "We haven't locked in a date yet since he literally just proposed tonight, but we're definitely having the wedding before the year is out."
"Wait, Isabella, you're not going to be my bridesmaid?"
Isabella sighed. "I'm divorced. Being your bridesmaid might bring bad luck or look inappropriate. Even if you don't mind, I just can't do it. You are my absolute best friend, and I want your marriage to be perfectly blessed so you and Jesse can grow old together."
"I refuse to let my reputation as a divorced woman cast even the slightest shadow over your big day."
"I'll be your chief best friend. I'll be right there to witness your happiness and watch you walk down the aisle. That's all that matters; the title doesn't. You should ask Barbara and Linda to be your bridesmaids."
Those two were unmarried women from elite families—they were the perfect candidates to stand beside her.
"Isabella, Jesse and I really don't care about any of that," Laura insisted, clearly still hoping she would accept the role.
"Laura, we're best friends. Our friendship is pure, and I want absolutely nothing to taint your wedding. I want everything to go perfectly for you."
"I don't want you dealing with vicious gossip on your special day. If I just ignored the traditions and stood up there as your bridesmaid, people in the crowd would definitely whisper, and some might even point fingers."
Laura went quiet for a moment before finally sighing. "Alright, fine."
She knew Isabella made a valid point. Even though Isabella and Ethan had slept in separate rooms for their entire marriage, the divorce was a very public reality.
She and Jesse might not care, but what about the Mason elders?
Nobody wanted to deal with nasty rumors on their wedding day.
If Isabella attended as an honored best friend, no one could say a word.
And she would still be right there to witness the magic.
"Now I have to rack my brain to figure out what to get you for a wedding gift! If I can't think of anything perfect, I'm just going to send you a massive cash transfer. You can buy whatever you want!"
Laura laughed. "I'll love whatever you get me. It's the thought that counts."
Isabella smiled. "I'll definitely put some serious thought into it."

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...
