After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 254
It took Cynthia a whole half hour to get to Isabella’s studio. Isabella was already waiting outside, having come down a couple of minutes early. As soon as she spotted Cynthia’s familiar car, she walked over, smiling.
Cynthia pulled up and rolled down the window.
“Mom, was traffic bad? You took forever,” Isabella teased. “I’ll just leave my car here and ride with you. When we’re done, you can drop me back.”
Ethan’s place was in the opposite direction from the Lane house, and Isabella didn’t want her mom to make an extra trip.
Cynthia unlocked the doors so Isabella could hop in.
Once they were both settled, Cynthia asked, “So, where are we eating? Should we call Laura? Evelyn treats you so well, always sending snacks through Laura. If we’re having a nice meal, we shouldn’t leave her out.”
“I already checked. She’s gone back to her parents’ place. Evelyn cooked something special and wanted her home for dinner,” Isabella replied.
Cynthia let it go. She genuinely liked Laura and was glad Isabella had such a close friend.
Instead of heading to The Cabinda Hotel, Isabella took her mom to a little spot she and Laura loved. The food there was always fresh and delicious, and it didn’t cost a fortune. The only downside was the wait, but since it was still early, they didn’t mind. They could use the time to catch up.
“When you called earlier, I’d just gotten back home,” Cynthia started, sighing a little. “Natalie didn’t look thrilled that I was heading out again.”
Cynthia might seem soft, but she understood everyone in the Lane family perfectly.
“I used to tell you to put up with things because you had no support and still needed to live there. But you’re married now. You’re Mrs. Adams. Even if Ethan isn’t the most doting husband, he still has to stand up for you. That’s just how it works.”
“If he doesn’t, and people find out he can’t protect his own wife, he’ll lose face. People like that care a lot about their reputation. One bad rumor could tank their stock prices.”
“I thought you’d be mad at me for turning her down,” Isabella admitted. She hadn’t expected her mom to agree, or to tell her not to give in to Natalie anymore.

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...
