After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 319
“You don’t have to drag me down with you and ruin my whole life, you know!”
“And if you ever dare to leave me and my mom with nothing, I swear, I’ll take you down with me, even if it kills me!”
Ethan touched the side of his face where she’d slapped him. As she yelled at him, he didn’t get mad at all. Last time she’d let loose on him, he realized Isabella wasn’t as sweet and gentle as she looked. She was fierce. That side of her was so real, so alive, it pulled him in. Honestly, he liked her like this.
He grinned. “If you’re going to die and drag me with you, then fine. Let’s go together. We’ll haunt each other in hell, and if there’s a next life, maybe we’ll still be stuck together.”
Isabella was so furious she wanted to hit him again, but she knew she couldn’t win. Instead, she grabbed all the snacks on the table and started chucking them at him.
“These were for Natalie! Why are you giving them to me? I don’t even like this stuff!” She threw snacks at him one after another, venting her anger with every toss.
“I’m warning you, Ethan. If you ever try to give me snacks you bought for Natalie again, I’ll…”
“You’ll what?” Ethan blocked the snacks with his arm. When she finally stopped, he stepped forward in a flash and trapped her before she could move away. He pulled her into his arms, locking her hands so she couldn’t grab anything else. The spot on his cheek where she’d slapped him was already turning red, her fingers clearly imprinted there.
“Isabella, are you jealous?” His voice was low, almost rough, and he looked at her with eyes full of hope. She’d changed so much, and Ethan found himself searching for any trace of the woman who used to love him so much. He just couldn’t believe she’d really stopped loving him in just two months.
“Jealous? Ethan, I swear, I’ll never be jealous over you again in this lifetime!”
“Let me go!”
“Fine, I won’t bring up divorce. But don’t you dare change your story, either. If you can’t even be true to your first love, how could I ever believe you’d treat me right for life?”
He’d just gone silent or frowned when she’d mentioned divorce before. But this time, his reaction was so intense it actually scared her a little.
Was he… was he starting to fall for her?
No way. She didn’t want his love. Not now.
He could keep it for Natalie. She’d always known she wasn’t ready for divorce yet. She still needed time to get stronger, to stand on her own. It was her own stupid mouth that let those words slip just now.

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...
