After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 1182
Ethan was arranging the flowers. "Flowers from your own garden bloom every year. They're meant to be admired."
"Clipping a few stems won't aggravate my injuries. As long as you like them." Ethan pulled Cynthia's arrangement from the vase and replaced it with the bouquet he had brought.
Cynthia watched him. She wanted to say something, but the words died on her lips. She had arranged the original flowers, not Harold. Ethan was in such a rush to replace them, clearly assuming Harold had brought them.
Cynthia enjoyed flower arranging in her spare time. Back when she was married to Jackson Lane, she had picked up the hobby. All the floral displays at the Lane Estate had been her handiwork. Even Natalie, who couldn't stand her, had once praised her arrangements.
"Isabella, Harold mentioned you two are heading to the beach for a couple of days?" Ethan turned back to Isabella after finishing with the vase. He didn't want her to go, simply because he couldn't go himself.
"Are you craving seafood? I can have some fresh catches delivered before noon. You don't have to go to the beach for that."
Isabella replied coolly, "I'm going to relax and decompress. It's not about the food. I can eat seafood anytime."
"What's so fun about the beach? The wind just smells like salt." Since he couldn't tag along, Ethan tried to downplay the trip, conveniently forgetting he used to vacation at the coast multiple times a year.
Having been married to him in two different lifetimes, Isabella knew exactly how he operated.
She called him out. "You're only saying that because you can't go. Don't you visit the beach several times a year? If it's so boring, why do you keep going back?"
Ethan offered a sheepish smile. "Since I can't go, it suddenly seems boring. Isabella, you rarely get time off. Wouldn't it be nicer to just sleep in for a couple of days? There's no need to travel so far. Going out can be more exhausting than working."
"I just want to get away and unwind. I'm not doing anything strenuous—just enjoying the ocean breeze, swimming, and eating well. How is that more exhausting than work?"

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...
