After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 227
“Don’t wait two or three years before having a baby. That’s way too long. If you go that long without kids, people will start thinking something’s wrong with you.”
Here we go again, Isabella thought. The same old pressure.
She sighed. “Jennifer, this really isn’t up to me.”
Jennifer waved her off. “You and Ethan need to stop sleeping in separate rooms. Snoring isn’t a big deal, you’ll get used to it. You have to share a bed every night if you want to get pregnant.”
Jennifer clearly thought Isabella was the one dragging her feet. But Isabella had her own way of shutting this down.
She leaned closer and lowered her voice. “Jennifer, you might laugh, but Ethan and I... we haven’t even done it yet. I’m basically living like a widow.”
Jennifer’s eyes went wide. “What? Why?” She remembered how hard Ethan had chased after Isabella before the wedding, acting like he couldn’t live without her. And now, more than a month into their marriage, they still hadn’t slept together?
Isabella sat up, her expression cool and distant. “Because Ethan can’t.”
Jennifer almost yelped. She slapped a hand over her mouth, glancing around to make sure no one overheard. This was the sort of secret that could ruin a person.
She whispered, “How is that possible? Ethan’s always been so healthy. He works out every day, gets regular checkups. If something was wrong, wouldn’t he know?”
Isabella shook her head. “How could he admit something like that? And actually, you’re overthinking it. I don’t know if there’s anything physically wrong. He just… doesn’t know what to do. When it comes to that stuff, he’s completely clueless.”
Jennifer sat there, too stunned to speak, just staring at Isabella in disbelief.
Isabella grabbed her purse and stood up. “I’m heading to work, Jennifer.”
This time, Jennifer didn’t try to stop her. She just let her go.
It took Jennifer a long moment to pull herself together. As soon as she did, she called her husband, Walter, and told him to talk to Ethan. If there really was a problem, maybe a doctor could help.
Meanwhile, on his way to the office, Ethan sneezed a few times for no apparent reason.

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...
