After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 243
Ethan switched his phone to his other hand and picked up his half-finished coffee, sneaking in a couple of quick sips.
He was drowning in work, so busy he barely had time to breathe, let alone enjoy his coffee.
He only answered because it was Jordan calling. If it had been anyone else, he probably would have let it ring.
He couldn't help worrying that something might have happened to Natalie.
“Ethan, I know this is a big ask, but I need a favor.”
“Come on, we’re brothers. If there’s anything I can do for you, just tell me.”
Jordan hesitated for a second before speaking. “Natalie hasn’t had much of an appetite these past couple of days.”
“What’s going on? Is your chef slacking off?”
“I heard that when women get pregnant, their tastes totally change. Stuff they used to love suddenly grosses them out, and sometimes they get these crazy cravings. If they can’t have what they want, they get really upset, sometimes even cry about it.”
Jordan let out a sigh. “That’s exactly what’s happening. Natalie used to love our chef’s food. Now that she’s pregnant, she can’t even look at it.”
“She just told me she’s dying for Isabella’s BBQ ribs tonight—the sweet and tangy ones. She says nobody makes them like Isabella.”
“Ethan, do you think you could ask Isabella to come by this afternoon to make some ribs for Natalie? I’d owe you one.”
Ethan didn’t agree right away, which was rare for him.
He rubbed his forehead and said, “Isabella’s been crazy busy lately. Her new web series just started shooting, so she’s with the crew from morning till night. I’m not even kidding, we haven’t seen each other in a week.”
“I can’t promise she’ll be able to come and cook for Natalie.”
“But I’ll call her and see what I can do. I’ll try to convince her to make time for it.”
Frank was quick to explain. “No, it’s just for a shoot. They’re using the hospital as a filming location.”
“They picked a private hospital, fewer patients, and the management was happy to rent them some space as a favor to Isabella.”
Private hospitals are expensive and pretty quiet compared to public ones, where it would be impossible to film with all the people around.
Ethan finally let out a breath he didn’t know he was holding.
“You scared me for a second. I thought something had actually happened to her.”
“Alright, I’m going to head over there now.”
“Hold on, my mistake. The hospital shoot was a couple of days ago. Isabella should be at her studio right now.”
Frank caught himself just in time and gave Ethan the right location, saving him from a wasted trip.

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...
