After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 1178
"You two haven't even been together for two months," Ethan snapped, his voice laced with venom. "The foundation just isn't there. She doesn't know you well enough to say yes. You'd better prepare yourself to ask a hundred times."
A chill ran down Ethan's spine. He suddenly remembered the fragmented nightmares from his past life—the haunting image of Harold standing at Isabella's grave, mourning her with a broken heart. Even though it was just a fleeting memory, it terrified him. He had rushed his recovery and returned home to secure his chance with Isabella. The last thing he wanted was to accidentally accelerate her marriage to Harold.
Harold simply laughed. "What does time have to do with it? I love Isabella, and she loves me. That's all that matters. People get married after knowing each other for two weeks. Isabella and I have known each other for years."
It was true. Harold had known of Isabella for a long time, even if they hadn't moved in the same circles. Back then, he had only seen her as a beautiful woman with a quiet presence. He couldn't pinpoint the exact moment his awareness of her blossomed into deep, protective love. Fate was unpredictable like that. If you seized the moment, you got the girl. If you hesitated, you lost her forever.
"If she says no the first time, I'll just ask again," Harold said cheerfully. "To use your words, even if I have to ask a hundred times, I won't give up. Eventually, I'll put a ring on her finger."
Harold tapped the steering wheel, his eyes gleaming with triumph. "You know, Ethan, I was your best man at your wedding. When Isabella and I tie the knot, you'll have to return the favor. I'd love for you to watch me walk the woman of my dreams down the aisle."
Ethan scoffed loudly. "You were my best man, and look how that marriage ended. If I stand beside you at the altar, aren't you terrified my bad luck will ruin your relationship? Divorce can be contagious."
"I trust what Isabella and I have," Harold replied effortlessly. "I'm not superstitious."
At that moment, the wrought-iron gate swung open, and Amelia stepped out.

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...
