After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 251
“She’s your wife. She loves you. You’ve already hurt her, and now you want her to cook for the woman who’s always been between you? What were you thinking, Ethan? You actually asked Isabella to go back and make dinner for Natalie?”
“Every time Natalie comes up, you lose your mind. You let her play you however she wants, and you never stop to think for yourself.”
Harold’s heart really went out to Isabella. She was a great girl, innocent and undeserving of any of this. Ethan used her, broke her heart, and now every time Natalie called, Ethan would drop everything and run, demanding Isabella come home and cook for his old flame. It was like stabbing Isabella in the heart again and again.
Ethan’s face was dark and unreadable.
“Whatever. This is your mess. If I say too much, you’ll just think I can’t stand seeing you happy. Listen if you want, or just pretend I never said anything.”
“But Ethan, you and I are friends. I have to say this. If you don’t love Isabella, set her free. Divorce her. She loves you, but now she knows you don’t feel the same. If you let her go, she can move on, build a new life. You’d actually be doing her a favor.”
“If you can’t bring yourself to divorce her, then at least treat her right. Treat her like your wife.”
“You let go of Natalie a long time ago, didn’t you? You never even confessed your feelings. You didn’t compete with Jordan. So why are you pretending to be so devoted now?”
“You just can’t admit to yourself that you were a coward back then, can you? You refuse to face that part of yourself.”
“With your personality, if you really wanted someone—even if she was already with another guy—you’d do whatever it took to win her over. Back then, Jordan had just confessed to her. You had every chance to speak up, to fight for her. But you didn’t.”
On the way, he texted Barbara to let her know he was heading back to the office, so she didn’t have to wait for him. Barbara just replied with a simple “okay” emoji.
Their timing couldn’t have been worse, showing up right when Ethan was at Isabella’s place. Harold barely got the chance to say anything at all to her.
But Barbara thought maybe that was for the best. Isabella was still married to Ethan, at least on paper. When they got home that evening, she’d have to sit Harold down and talk some sense into him.
Even if Harold really did have feelings for Isabella, he needed to wait until after the divorce. Otherwise, all the blame would fall on Isabella. That’s how it always went. The woman ended up with her name dragged through the mud.
If Harold really cared about her, he’d think about what she was going through. He’d never want to see her get hurt like that.

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...
