After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 320
“Isabella…” Ethan moved toward her.
“You’re busy, Ethan. I’ll leave you alone.” Isabella didn’t give him a chance to argue. She rushed out, worried he might actually lose it and do something she couldn’t handle.
Ethan chased after her, but she was fast. All he caught was the faint brush of her sleeve as she slipped into the hallway. With people around, he couldn’t act like he did when it was just the two of them. Besides, his cheek was still stinging and probably looked swollen from where she’d slapped him.
He stood by the door for a moment, watching her go, then closed it quietly behind him. He headed straight to the kitchenette, rummaged in the freezer until he found an ice pack, then wrapped it in a clean towel from the lounge. He settled onto the couch, pressing the cold pack against his face, not daring to show his embarrassment in the main office. The last thing he needed was someone coming in to see him like this.
Isabella hadn’t held back. She’d said she’d wanted to hit him for ages. Was he really so terrible? Sure, he’d lied to her, but he had so much going for him. Being married to him wasn’t exactly a bad deal. If she didn’t want to be in a loveless marriage, he was more than willing to change that. She was the one pushing him away.
As he sat there, Ethan pulled out his phone and started recording voice messages.
“Isabella, you’re my wife.”
“Don’t talk to me about divorce again. If you do, I swear, I’ll take you to bed and make you my wife for real. No more pretending.”
He hesitated, staring at his phone for a minute or two, then sent one more.
As soon as he walked into the main house, he heard his parents’ voices. In the big hall, his mom and dad were waiting, along with their family doctor and a woman he sort of recognized.
“Ethan, you’re back,” Jennifer called out, smiling at him.
The unfamiliar woman stood up, her lips curving into a gentle smile. “Ethan. It’s been a while.”
“Mia Clark?” It finally clicked. She was Jennifer’s best friend’s daughter. They’d known each other as kids, but after the Clark family moved abroad, he’d barely seen her. There was even a stretch where they hadn’t met for ten years.

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...
