After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 1181
"I've made plans with Jesse. He's bringing Laura along."
Isabella didn't overthink it. "Whatever you arrange is fine. I can take two days off this week, so getting out and relaxing sounds perfect."
"Honestly, Harold, I feel a little bad," she admitted. "We're a couple, but I can count the number of dates we've had on one hand."
Work had simply been too demanding.
With so much going on, their dates had been few and far between since making their relationship official. They couldn't even compare to a normal couple.
Harold reached out, affectionately tapping the tip of her nose.
"Why are you bringing that up? I get it. I'm incredibly busy too. As long as you don't blame me for not having enough time for you, we're good."
No matter how few dates they went on, he was still her official boyfriend.
"Ethan's here to crash your family's breakfast again."
Harold's voice broke the comfortable silence.
"Him..." Isabella sighed. "My mom said he's been coming over for meals every single day since his second day out of the hospital. She feels too awkward to kick him out, not that she even could. The man is utterly shameless."
Her voice dripped with sheer helplessness.
Quickly recovering, she added, "He can do whatever he wants, and we can't stop him. Let's just focus on ourselves. Go tell my uncle to come in for breakfast, and then we'll head out for the beach."
If Ethan wanted to try and play the dutiful son-in-law, that was his business—though it was a massive dead end.
Her mother ultimately respected her choices. Since she had chosen Harold, her family stood firmly by his side. No matter how much Ethan did or how hard he tried, they would never sway in his favor.
If she had chosen Ethan instead, they would have swallowed their distaste and tolerated him.
All that mattered to them was her happiness.
"Alright. Just don't let Ethan tag along."
Harold muttered the words under his breath.

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...
