After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 213
“If you’re really that bored, I could sign you up for etiquette classes. My mom could take you to her luncheons with the other wives. You’d pick up some social skills.”
Isabella looked at him, unimpressed. “Have I ever embarrassed you at a party? Is my etiquette that bad? Am I terrible at making conversation?”
Ethan couldn’t argue. She was always perfect at those events.
He tried again. “Do you know how many women would love to have everything handed to them? Why can’t you be like them? Every time you say you’re bored, you just want to—”
“Whatever. Do what you want,” Ethan interrupted, already sensing they were about to start another endless argument. “It’s your life.”
He reached out, maybe to take her hand, but Isabella stepped away, giving him a cold stare. “What do you think you’re doing?”
“Jesse probably isn’t here yet. I just wanted to walk in with you. I’m not trying anything, so stop acting like I’m some creep. Even if you let me, I wouldn’t be interested.”
“I can walk just fine by myself,” Isabella said. “And trust me, it’s better that you’re not interested. I’d be worried if you were.”
That would make divorcing you a nightmare.
She gave him a sly look. “Besides, for someone as innocent as you, I doubt you’d even know how to take advantage.”
With that, Isabella headed inside the hotel without looking back.
Ethan glared at her retreating figure, his mood sinking. After a moment, he muttered, “I may not have done it, but I’m not clueless either.”
“I know. Just, next time you introduce a client to Isabella, give me a heads-up. And make sure she knows you’re doing it because of me.”
Jesse laughed. “That’s always the reason. Ethan, you sound weirdly jealous. Don’t tell me you’re actually falling for Isabella.”
“No way. I love Natalie. I always have,” Ethan said without missing a beat. “My heart’s only got room for Natalie. If Isabella wants me to love her, she’ll have to wait for her next life.”
Jesse snorted. “Just don’t be surprised if you have to eat your words. Melissa says you’ll regret this sooner or later.”
“And don’t get too full of yourself. Honestly, it looks like Isabella doesn’t love you as much as she used to.”
That hit a nerve. Ethan’s face darkened. He’d had the same feeling for a while now. Isabella just didn’t look at him the way she once did.

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...
