After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 1144
"Isabella," Ethan asked, thoroughly frustrated. "Do you really think I'm that stupid?"
"You're not stupid. In fact, you're brilliant. But you have one fatal flaw: whenever it involves your first love, your IQ plummets into the negatives. Stupid doesn't even begin to cover it."
"Your eyes work perfectly fine until it comes to Natalie, and then you're completely blind. Do you have any idea how many absurd things you did because of her?"
Ethan was momentarily rendered mute before defending himself in a low voice. "I... I didn't do that many absurd things. Yes, I used to love her fiercely, but that's in the past. I've moved on."
He hadn't fully let go before, but during his coma, the entire bizarre dream had played out in its entirety. Through it, he finally saw Natalie for who she was, and his feelings for her died completely.
In the dream, Natalie had even considered murdering him for his money.
That chilling realization had frozen Ethan's heart completely.
He had given her his absolute all. Even after she married Jordan, he had continued to love her, spoil her, and protect her—hurting Isabella in the process.
In the end, he was just a resource for Natalie to drain.
If he hadn't been the heir to the Adams family, if he hadn't had money and power, she probably wouldn't have given him the time of day.
"Whether you've moved on is your business. I don't care. Ethan, back to the main point. In your dream, York didn't show up until the very end. Why is he here now in reality? And years early, at that."
"Do you think Natalie colluded with him, and that's why he's here?"
Ethan shook his head. "I don't know."
He was stuck in this bed, unable to even walk. He was utterly useless right now.
"I had Keith look into him, but we didn't find much. York's real background has been scrubbed clean. He operates under the guise of legitimate business now. That's the front he's using."
"Nat simply doesn't have the kind of leverage needed to summon someone like him."
Isabella fell silent.

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...
