After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 1177
Harold parked his car at the edge of the driveway, rolling down his window to lean out. "You just got out of the hospital, Ethan. Shouldn't you be resting in bed? You're the one who needs the sleep."
He flashed a confident smile. "I have plans today. I'm taking Isabella, Jesse, and Laura down to the beach. Isabella hasn't been to the ocean in ages, and she's been craving fresh seafood. I'm taking her down for the weekend, and we'll head straight to the office on Monday morning."
Harold was partially bluffing to get under Ethan's skin, but he fully intended to make the trip happen. Isabella had been under an immense amount of pressure lately. Her nerves were fried, she was working non-stop, and she had visibly lost weight. It broke Harold's heart to see her so exhausted.
This weekend, she had finally agreed to take a break, and Harold had the perfect getaway planned at his private coastal estate—which coincidentally wasn't far from the Adams family's beach property.
Months ago, Ethan had taken Isabella to that exact beach, only to heartlessly throw her out of the villa when she refused to submit to Natalie. Isabella had been forced to find her own way back to the city in the dead of night. Hearing that story had ignited a fierce protectiveness in Harold, and he despised Ethan for it. Now, Ethan was shamelessly trying to win her back by playing the perfect neighbor and sucking up to her mother. Harold wasn't about to let that happen.
Isabella was his girlfriend now, and he was ready to lock down their future.
"What's so great about the beach?" Ethan asked smoothly, his expression unbothered. "If she wants seafood, she just has to say the word. I'll have the finest catch flown in immediately. Guaranteed fresh."
Without missing a beat, Ethan pulled his phone from his pocket and dialed the manager of his coastal estate, instructing him to prepare a premium seafood delivery.
Harold chuckled, shaking his head. "It's not just about the food, Ethan. We're going swimming, surfing, and sailing. Tell your staff to cancel the order. We're leaving shortly. You'd be welcome to join, but..." Harold paused, feigning sympathy. "You're still too weak. The sea breeze is brutal this time of year. We wouldn't want you catching a cold and ending up back in the ICU."

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...
