After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 1139
Taking the apple slice from his grandmother, Ethan just stared at it, entirely zoned out.
"Why aren't you eating? Do you think the way I peeled it is ugly? I don't do this often, so maybe it's not as neat as the way Isabella used to do it."
Stephanie chewed her piece of apple and sighed, "I know your heart is breaking. You dragged yourself back from the brink of death, only to see Isabella and Harold happily building a future together."
"Isabella is so happy with Harold. It's obvious the two of them are genuinely in love."
"Ethan, I've told you this before: let go. Let Isabella be happy. Her happiness is what's best for you. If she remained miserable forever, that would be your fault. That would be your sin."
Ethan took a small, quiet bite of the apple.
It was crisp and sweet. It really was delicious.
Only after he finished the slice did he speak. "Grandma, it's not like I just found out Harold and Isabella are together today. I knew when the news trended and I had to publicly clarify things. That was the day they openly acknowledged their relationship."
"I know I should step aside for them, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm hurting. It's so frustrating... When can I be discharged? I'm bored to death. Lying here every single day, I feel like I'm turning into a cripple."
Stephanie scolded him, "You've barely regained a bit of energy. You can't even get out of bed to walk yet, and you're already asking to leave the hospital? You managed to cheat death. The fact that you aren't missing an arm or a leg is a massive blessing."
Ethan had sustained severe internal injuries; his vital organs had been badly damaged.
"Isabella said she'd come visit you this weekend. She might just walk through that door any minute now."
After saying that, Stephanie let out a heavy sigh. "Ah, my poor granddaughter-in-law... she's gone. Who knows when I'll ever get a new one."
"Grandma, I'm not remarrying anytime soon. Go pressure Jeremy and Frank. Stop pressuring me."
Ethan fired back instantly.
But his expression quickly darkened again. "Even if Isabella does come to visit, Harold will be right by her side. I can step back and let them be, but every time I see them together, it still suffocates me."
Isabella used to be his wife.

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...
