After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 1194
"Ethan, those gifts are for your recovery. How can you ask me to take them back? Are you rejecting my gifts now?"
Natalie whined, her voice dripping with grievance. "You've changed. You treat me like a nuisance. We're supposed to be best friends. We're childhood friends!"
"You and Jordan are childhood friends," Ethan fired back, his gaze turning somber. "I was just your backup plan!"
He leaned back, massaging his temples. "I'm tired and I need to rest. I don't have the energy to entertain you. Please leave. Susan, show her the door."
Susan stepped forward, gesturing politely toward the entryway. "This way, Mrs. Lane. The young master needs his rest."
"I won't bother you!" Natalie insisted, stubbornly planting herself in the chair. "Go upstairs and sleep. I'll wait here until you wake up, and then I'll make us dinner."
She had absolutely no intention of leaving.
Reality had been hitting her hard lately. Without Ethan's public favor, her social standing in Cabinda had plummeted. Business partners who used to bend over backward for her now barely gave her the time of day.
It was a humiliating fall from grace.
York's warning had struck a nerve, and she knew he was right.
As long as Isabella was in the picture, Ethan would never look her way. With Ethan's backing, Isabella was practically untouchable in Cabinda.
If she wanted to eliminate Isabella, she needed to simultaneously charm her way back into Ethan's good graces.
She had to play both sides if she ever wanted things to go back to the way they were.

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...
