After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 129
No matter what, Isabella was still his wife. If his family could just treat her however they wanted, it would mean they didn’t respect him at all. It was basically a slap in the face. For Ethan, standing up for Isabella was really about protecting his own pride.
Sophia pulled a face.
Jennifer, worried the argument would just go on and on, quickly tugged Sophia’s arm. “Sophia, if Ethan doesn’t want to take you, then just let it go. Come on, let’s go. Don’t bother him while he’s working.”
“And about Mr. Main, you can forget about him. I’m never going to agree to that.” Dylan Main was way older than Sophia, and Jennifer just couldn’t accept it, not even for a second. Even though nothing had happened yet, she wanted to squash any ideas Sophia might have before they got out of hand.
Sophia let her mom pull her away, annoyed and full of regret. She wished she hadn’t been so honest about her feelings. The only people she’d ever really trusted were her parents and Ethan. She hadn’t even told her closest friends about her crush on Dylan Main.
After Jennifer and Sophia left, Ethan couldn’t help himself. He sent Isabella a voice message. “What are you up to?”
Isabella replied, “At my studio. What’s up?”
“Did my mom talk to you?” Ethan asked, his voice sounding a little dark.
Isabella knew this. She smiled to herself, but Ethan couldn’t see it. She didn’t bother sending another voice message. She just typed out a quick “Thanks” and sent it, then put her phone down, not wanting to talk any more with a man whose heart was never hers.
Laura looked at her with concern. “Jennifer isn’t going to keep making trouble for you, right? I heard rich families have really tough mothers-in-law.”
“It’s not just rich families,” Isabella said with a dry laugh. “Most mothers-in-law are pretty tough. Jennifer’s actually a good person, it’s just that her kindness doesn’t seem to include me.”
It was the same with Ethan. He was the kind of guy who took feelings seriously and was truly devoted—just not to her. All he had for her was indifference. Luckily, she’d finally stopped hoping for his love in this lifetime. Love is love, and if it’s not there, it’s not. She wasn’t going to chase after him, asking why. She wasn’t going to wonder what Natalie had that she didn’t. She was done with that. It was time to accept reality, because that’s the world they actually lived in.

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