After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 1160
York wore a cryptic smile. "You seem incredibly resistant to me. Did I offend you somehow? Or did you already know exactly who I am?"
"You haven't been in Cabinda for very long, Mr. Austin, and we've only crossed paths in public a few times. You haven't offended me, and I had no prior knowledge of you. In fact, I have absolutely no idea who you really are."
This man was endlessly testing her.
York chuckled.
He suddenly pulled out a few books from beneath the coffee table and pushed them toward her. "I was skimming through these, and I found them quite interesting. They're stories about rebirth."
"Tell me, Isabella. Do you believe people can actually be reborn?"
Isabella glanced at the covers. They were commercially published rebirth-themed romance novels.
A hardened man like York probably never touched romance novels. Going out of his way to find and read them just to test her was almost commendable.
"I haven't read fiction in ages."
Isabella picked one up, flipped through a few pages indifferently, and tossed it back down. "I used to read a bit on my phone or scroll through videos when I was bored."
"You only get one life. How could anyone start over? Who has the power to turn back time and give someone a blank slate?"
"Don't confuse fiction with reality, Mr. Austin. A man of your age shouldn't be misled by made-up stories."
York fell silent for a moment before replying, "Fiction draws from reality."
"But it's still just fiction, painted to look perfectly ideal. In the real world, who actually gets a do-over? If rebirth were real, people would be taking their own lives left and right just to respawn and choose a better path."
"The whole world would descend into chaos. I firmly believe we only get one shot. The afterlife is a myth, and death is like a light burning out. You don't just die and wake up in your past."
Even though she was living proof of it, she would never admit to being reborn.

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...
