After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 131
Isabella didn’t even hesitate. “Natalie, why don’t you ask one of your girlfriends to go with you? Or just wait until Jordan has time.”
“I already have plenty of evening dresses and jewelry. There’s no need to buy anything new right now. I’m sure your closet is full of dresses you haven’t even worn yet.”
And the jewelry… that was a whole other story.
Just the pieces from Ethan’s wedding gifts that the Lane family seized were enough to fill a safe. Jordan kept all of it. Cynthia always felt bad for Isabella and thought it was unfair, but she never stood up to Jordan. Given her position in the family, she just didn’t have the guts.
Instead of fighting for Isabella, Cynthia had to be the one telling her to just accept it. At least she still had a small villa and a car. Now that she was out of the Lane family and married into the Adams family, things had to be better, right?
Isabella was sure Natalie was doing this on purpose. Inviting her to go shopping just to set her up somehow. Who knew what kind of trap she was planning this time?
“Isabella, are you really saying you don’t want to go shopping with me?”
“I’m busy. And honestly, no, I don’t want to,” Isabella told her, not sugarcoating a thing.
“Natalie, call your friends. I don’t have time, and I doubt you’d even enjoy hanging out with me. We both know we’re not exactly close.”
“Ethan’s not here, you don’t have to pretend anymore.”
The Lane family was furious. Even Isabella’s own mother didn’t believe her. Everyone blamed her for what happened, never listening when she tried to explain.
Before taking Natalie to the hospital, Jordan warned her that if anything happened to Natalie, he’d make her pay for it, ten times over.
She didn’t go to the hospital. Ethan didn’t either. Instead, Ethan dragged her home and locked her in the basement. He ignored her crying and pleading, leaving her in the cold and dark for three days and nights with nothing to eat or drink.
She was scared, miserable, hungry, and thirsty. When they finally let her out, she could barely stand. Ethan, looking cold and disgusted, grabbed her and shoved her onto the floor at Jordan’s feet. He told Jordan he’d already punished her, but if Jordan wanted to do more, he wouldn’t stop him.
She was so weak from hunger and thirst, she couldn’t even speak. Lying at Jordan’s feet, she felt lower than a stray dog.

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...
