After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 257
Cynthia was on a mission. She swept into the jewelry store, barely glancing at the displays before pointing out the most expensive pieces. One after another, she picked out set after set, not caring about the designs, just the price tags. In no time, she’d bought more than a dozen sets of jewelry.
The spree didn’t stop there. Next came designer boutiques, where she and Isabella browsed racks of high-end clothes, picked out luxury handbags, and loaded up on the fanciest skincare and makeup money could buy. Cynthia always chose the priciest options. She figured that even if she had to sell these things later, they’d still fetch a good price.
After they picked up two men’s suits, Cynthia’s phone buzzed. Jackson’s name flashed on the screen.
She leaned toward Isabella and whispered, “It’s Jackson. We’ve gone a little overboard. He’s probably calling to ask what I’m spending all this money on.”
Cynthia took a breath and answered, keeping her voice steady.
“Hey, where are you? Why have you spent so much?” Jackson didn’t waste any time. He’d already noticed that more than two hundred thousand dollars had disappeared from his account.
Cynthia let out an easy laugh. “Isabella treated me to dinner tonight, so we decided to go shopping after. I just picked up a few things I wanted, and got some things for Isabella, too. Oh, and I bought you two new suits.”
She paused for effect. “I was just about to find a couple of new ties for you.”
“Isabella always worries she’s spending too much, that you’ll be upset,” Cynthia went on, her voice light. “I told her husbands are supposed to earn money for their wives to spend. Isn’t that right? You always say you’ll take care of making money, and I just have to look pretty.”
Jackson laughed. “That’s right. I make it so you both can spend it. Go ahead, shop a little more, then head home.”
“Alright. I’ll pick out two ties for you, then take Isabella to get that Hermès bag she’s been wanting, and we’ll go home.”
Jackson gave her a couple more reminders before hanging up.

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...
