Aside from taking down York, she had no desire to rely on Ethan for anything else. She wanted to keep her distance as much as possible.
Ethan's voice carried a bitter edge. "Do I really not even get a chance to help you?"
"Ethan, Harold and I are officially together."
"You're just dating. You aren't married yet, and I know you haven't slept with him. You're a traditional woman at heart. You'd never move in with a man without a ring on your finger."
"As long as you're not married, I still have a chance."
Isabella hung up without another word.
She had zero interest in discussing her love life with him.
In this lifetime, their story was permanently over.
Staring at the disconnected screen, Ethan let out a heavy sigh.
If it weren't for York's impending threat, she probably wouldn't have called him at all. No, it was only because he had experienced those prophetic dreams.
Were those visions just a warning, or a reality that had already played out?
If it was real, why didn't he remember living it?
He couldn't shake the feeling that Isabella was guarding a massive secret. She hadn't breathed a word of it to anyone—not her mother, not her best friend.
And whatever she was hiding, it was directly tied to his dreams.
Despite her rejection, Ethan quickly fired off texts to Jeremy and Frank, instructing them to step in if Isabella ever needed help.
Jeremy replied instantly: 'Don't worry. If Isabella says the word, we've got her back.'
But they all knew she wouldn't come to them. She had Harold now.
The Carter family was just as powerful as the Adams Group, and Harold was every bit Ethan's equal.
She also had Linda in her corner. And if Linda couldn't handle something, the entire White Family and their fifteen influential heirs would step up.

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...
