That herbal tea was honestly awful. He never wanted to taste it again. He made a mental note to remind Isabella to go easy on it too.
“If you’re not feeling well, just go see a doctor. Don’t drag it out. If it gets worse, you’ll end up hospitalized and waste even more time. It’s not worth it.”
“I know,” Ethan replied, sounding like a kid getting lectured at school.
“I heard from Jordan that you’re going to the gala tonight. Are you bringing Isabella?”
Ethan paused, then decided to just say it. “I have to. She’s my wife now.”
Of course he’d bring Isabella. They were married. It only made sense.
“She doesn’t know anything about our world. If you take her, you’ll have to watch her every move. If she messes up or embarrasses herself, it’ll come back on you.”
“Isabella might not get what we talk about, but she knows how to behave,” Ethan said. “She’s not going to make a scene or do anything crazy. She can take care of herself, she doesn’t need me hovering over her.”
“She’s my wife. From now on, it’s her job to come with me to these things. That’s what being Mrs. Adams means.”
Ethan really didn’t see any issue with bringing Isabella to events like this.
“She should get out there, meet people, see how things work. Whether she learns anything or not, at least she’ll get used to it.”
Natalie was burning with jealousy, but she couldn’t argue.
“You’re right. It’s your business, not mine. Do what you want. I’ll call my girlfriends and see if anyone wants to go shopping with me.”
At least it was just warm water. If it had been hot, she would have been burned.
“Get out of my sight. Don’t bother me. I can’t stand you. Isabella is just as unbearable as you.”
“All you have is that pretty face and that body, always trying to catch men’s attention. You’re nothing but a tramp.”
Cynthia had been called worse by Natalie. She just smiled weakly and spoke softly, “Natalie, don’t be upset. I’ll go now. I won’t bother you.”
She’d heard it all before. Natalie’s insults didn’t even sting anymore.
It’s not like getting yelled at was going to hurt her. If Natalie wanted to vent, so be it.

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...
