After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 1225
Banking entirely on their sheer shamelessness, the Georges had lounged in the cafe eating free pastries all day, successfully dodging the cost of actual meals. Since neither Isabella nor Laura was around, the cafe manager had been completely powerless to throw them out.
But once closing time hit, the group had no choice but to drag themselves back to this cramped rental.
Berenice's hospital stint had drained their finances completely. The bill was only covered because her children had desperately scraped together every last dime they had.
Normally, they would have just packed up and gone back to their rural hometown after her discharge. But given Berenice's fragile state, a long drive back to the country could be risky. More importantly, they hadn't squeezed a single cent out of Isabella yet, and they refused to leave empty-handed.
After a quick family meeting, Peter's older children had gone back to their jobs and their own families. Meanwhile, the elderly couple had rented this tiny, squalid apartment in the city, using it as a base camp for Berenice to recover.
Any grandchildren who didn't have day jobs had stayed behind to help the old couple extort Isabella.
Money had always been incredibly tight for them. The entire extended family practically lived off the scraps from Paul's seafood restaurant. Even though it was peak season, they were barely breaking even. When the off-season hit, it would be a bloodbath.
Berenice's medical bills had severely crippled them, and the financial bleeding wasn't stopping anytime soon. She still needed prescription meds, follow-up scans, nutritional supplements—it was going to cost a small fortune.
Isabella had a net worth in the millions, yet she refused to hand over a single dime.
The Georges were practically gnashing their teeth in pure hatred toward her.
"Grandma, just sit down for a second. We'll get the place cleaned up. We only rented it this morning, so we haven't had time to scrub it down yet."

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...
