After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 26
The strong smell of alcohol hit her as soon as she got close. She wrinkled her nose, mumbling, “Seriously? You just got here and you’re already this drunk?”
“You saw who you wanted to see, and you’re still in a mood,” she added under her breath. Still, she couldn’t just walk away and leave him like this.
Sticking her head back into the private room, she called out to her friends, “Laura, something came up. I have to head out early. My car keys are with you, right? Just call a rideshare for you guys later.”
“Park my car in your building’s lot for now. I’ll come pick it up tomorrow.”
Laura shot her a worried look and got up to follow her. When she spotted Isabella struggling to hold up a completely wasted Ethan, she paused in surprise. “Wow. Fate really has a sense of humor. Out of all the people in this place, you two manage to run into each other.”
“Is Mr. Adams drunk?” Laura asked.
“He’s basically dead weight right now. I have to get him home before something happens,” Isabella said, trying to shift Ethan’s arm for better support.
Laura laughed. “Everyone in Cabinda knows who Mr. Adams is. No one would dare mess with him. Besides, in this state, he couldn’t do anything even if he wanted to.”
“You can’t get him out of here by yourself. Call his driver in to help.” Laura handed Isabella her phone.
Isabella nodded and gestured for Laura to grab her phone and call the driver. His number was already in her contacts. Laura made the call and handed the phone back.
Laura saw that Isabella could still smile, so maybe things weren’t as bad as she imagined.
Ethan’s driver showed up quickly, looking surprised to see Isabella. He rushed over and took Ethan from her, but she still helped. Ethan was so drunk he couldn’t stand on his own, and it would have been impossible for just one person to get him out of there. Together, they managed.
Once they got Ethan into the car, the driver asked, “Isabella, what brought you to the bar? Were you here with Ms. Charles?”
“No, I got a call from Mr. Mason saying Ethan was drunk, so I came to pick him up,” Isabella lied with a straight face. “I just happened to run into my best friend here, that’s all.”
She knew the truth. Ethan’s driver, his security, even the house staff were loyal to him. They all knew the real reason he married her and kept a close eye on everything she did. In her last life, whenever she crossed paths with Natalie Gates, Ethan would always show up right after, tipped off by one of his people.

The readers' comments on the novel: After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan)
Author, please get your characters names right. You always messing them up!...
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...
