After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 149
“If the sky falls, you won’t be there to hold it up for me. Instead, you’d be the one to poke a hole in it, just to watch it collapse and crush me.”
Ethan didn’t know what to say.
Isabella slipped her hand out of his grasp, her voice cool. “I’m just going to say hi to them, and then I’ll catch up with Barbara to talk about work. Go handle your stuff. No need to worry about me. I know how to handle myself. I’m not some pushover.”
She wasn’t the same as she used to be. Even if Ethan refused to back her up, Isabella wouldn’t let anyone walk all over her.
But Ethan reached out and grabbed her hand again. “What could you possibly work on with Barbara? You’re investing in short dramas. She’s in skincare and fashion. There’s no overlap.”
Isabella shrugged. “Even if we don’t do business, I like talking with Barbara. Nothing wrong with making friends. Out of all the rich girls in Cabinda, the only ones worth knowing are Barbara, Ms. Mason, and Ms. White.”
She didn’t mention Sophia on purpose, and Ethan didn’t like that. But knowing how Sophia always picked on Isabella, he couldn’t really argue.
He dropped his voice. “Who’s Ms. White? You’re not talking about Linda, Douglas’s sister?”
“Keep your distance from her,” he warned. “Linda’s a handful. She has a temper, she’s pushy, and she’s not afraid to show it. She uses her family’s influence to do whatever she wants. Even Sophia avoids getting on her bad side.”
She noticed, stopped, and turned to face him. “Ethan, why are you following me? I’m just making friends. You wouldn’t have anything in common with them.” Why couldn’t they just do their own thing?
She sighed. “Go talk to your business partners. Or go stand with her. Maybe she really is pregnant. There are so many people here, someone could bump into her by accident. If she lost the baby, that would be terrible.”
“You and Jordan should stand on either side of her. That way, she’ll be safe, and she’ll be happy, too.”
Ethan had nothing to say.

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...
