After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 153
Once she finished her pastry, Isabella glanced up and caught Natalie staring, her eyes sharp with jealousy. No doubt Ethan’s behavior earlier had rubbed Natalie the wrong way.
This woman just wants everything, Isabella thought. She already has Jordan, but she still clings to Ethan. And Ethan is so lovesick he’d probably give up his whole world for her. Isabella couldn’t help but roll her eyes at the thought.
“We were just chatting, nothing serious,” Isabella said, her tone relaxed. “My husband saw Linda here earlier, so he knows what’s going on. I’d never do anything to embarrass the Adams family.”
“Yes, the Adams Group and the White Group are rivals in business, but there’s no bad blood between us outside of work. Saying hello in public, having a quick conversation, it doesn’t mean anything. Besides, I’m not involved in any of the Adams Group business, and Linda can’t get anything useful from me anyway. Why should I be worried?”
Natalie leaned forward, not backing down. “I watched you for a while. The three of you were laughing and talking for at least half an hour. That’s not just a casual chat.”
“Isabella, whether it’s Barbara or Linda, they’re real heiresses. People like you aren’t exactly on their level. Don’t embarrass yourself trying to get close.”
Truth was, Natalie was jealous. Barbara and Linda had always kept their distance from her, but here they were, chatting and laughing with Isabella. Natalie just couldn’t stand it, so she took the chance to put Isabella in her place.
She whispered, “Isabella, do you really think Ethan would hesitate if I told him to divorce you? He’d do it in a second. Everything you have would be gone. He could ruin you in Cabinda and leave you with nothing.”
Isabella’s smile was calm, almost teasing. “If you think you have that kind of power, go ahead. Tell Ethan to divorce me. The second he asks, I’ll agree.”
The truth was, even if Ethan never brought it up, Isabella had already made her decision. Once she was strong enough to stand on her own, she’d leave him first. She had no intention of being his pawn forever.

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