After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 33
Isabella stopped and glanced back at him. For a moment, she hesitated, then said softly, “About last night... I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have gone into your room.”
“I just thought you’d had too much to drink and might get sick, so I followed to check on you. Susan told me you always just fall asleep when you’re drunk and don’t need anyone, so I left right away.”
“Don’t worry. Since your room’s off-limits to me, I promise I won’t ever step foot in there again.”
In their last life together, they’d been married for three years but always slept in separate rooms. His bedroom really was forbidden territory for her.
“Don’t let it happen again.”
“Alright.”
Isabella turned and headed out. Ethan wanted to say something more, but she didn’t even look back. He watched her walk away, the words stuck in his throat.
His phone rang. He glanced at the screen—Jennifer. He answered, already feeling a headache coming on.
“Mom, what’s up?”
Jennifer sounded skeptical. “That’s not what it looked like. Before the wedding, Isabella was always looking up different places and hotels. She was clearly excited about the trip.”
In their past life, they had gone on a honeymoon, but it was a disaster. They barely made it through one city before coming home early, fighting every day about Natalie. After that, Ethan dove into work and barely spoke to Isabella. No matter how kind she was, he just ignored her. He stopped drinking the soups she made for him. Any gifts she gave ended up in the trash. The colder he got, the more she hated Natalie, and the more she acted out, the more Ethan couldn’t stand her.
“She was looking forward to it, but she’s being really considerate. Mom, if there’s nothing else, I’m going to hang up. I drank too much last night and my head’s killing me. I haven’t even eaten yet. I’m starving.”
Jennifer’s voice softened immediately. “It’s this late and you haven’t even had breakfast? What’s Isabella doing? If your head hurts, tell her to make you some honey water. And you really need to cut back on the drinking. If you take Isabella out for business, just let her drink for you. She doesn’t understand your work anyway, so the least she can do is help you out with that.”

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...
