After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 119
“You could be dead for days before anyone even notices. That’s just too sad. If it were me, I’d definitely get married and have a kid, so at least when I’m old and gone, there’s someone to say goodbye.”
“That’s just how our parents think. There’s no changing their minds.” Laura rolled her eyes, imitating her mom’s tone. “She always says, ‘Humanity survives because each generation gets married and has kids. If no one did that, people would just disappear from the world.’”
Laura paused, thoughtful. “If I meet the right person, I’d get married, sure. But I’m not marrying into some rich family. The gap is just too big. In those fancy circles, my job probably isn’t even considered respectable.” If she were a classic novelist, maybe those society ladies would respect her a bit. But as an online writer, she knew they’d look down on her.
Marrying someone isn’t just about the person, it’s about the whole family. And Jesse’s world was full of people with money and status.
Laura didn’t want to wedge herself into that kind of life just to end up feeling small.
Isabella, for example, had the grand wedding with Ethan, but she’d never even set foot in The Adams Estate. She wasn’t truly accepted by Ethan’s family. In high society, Isabella didn’t count for much, not without the family’s real approval.
“I really don’t care what anyone thinks. Respect is something you earn for yourself, not something handed to you.” Isabella looked at Laura. “And Laura, just because of my marriage, don’t write off all the rich guys. Mr. Mason and Mr. Carter are both good men. There are plenty of women who want to marry them, but they’ve always kept to themselves and never had a scandal. I think they’d be pretty serious about any relationship.”
In her last life, both Harold and Jesse were still single when she died. She remembered Jesse had once liked a girl, but for whatever reason, they never got together. She also knew Laura had been chased by a reader, but that never went anywhere either.
Back then, Isabella had been too focused on fighting with Natalie and Sophia’s little circle to notice anyone else’s story.

The readers' comments on the novel: After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan)
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...
