Mia kept her eyes on the road, pretending Sophia wasn’t even there.
“You didn’t even try, Mia. Seriously, when did you become such a pushover?” Sophia scoffed, her voice dripping with sarcasm. She had been looking forward to a showdown between Mia and Isabella, hoping they’d tear each other apart.
It’s not like Sophia liked Mia much, but if she had to choose, she’d rather see Mia with Ethan. At least Mia would sometimes let her have her way. Isabella, on the other hand, never gave her the time of day. She acted like Sophia didn’t even exist.
And honestly, Mia was a better match for Ethan. Isabella couldn’t even hold a candle to her. She was basically invisible, couldn’t land a job at The Lane Group after college, and was hardly any better than a housekeeper. How could someone like that ever deserve Ethan?
“Listen, Sophia. I’m not giving up. I just have some self-respect,” Mia replied, her tone icy. “Ethan and Isabella are still married. If I got with him now, I’d just be the other woman. Why would I do that? It’s not like I can’t get married. Why should I be someone’s dirty little secret? I could find a guy from a good family and have a real marriage. Why would I settle for sneaking around?”
Sophia opened her mouth, but nothing came out. She had no comeback for that.
“I’m going to talk to Jennifer, too,” Mia went on. “I’ll tell her to drop the whole idea. I’m not getting between Ethan and Isabella. If they ever get divorced, it’s not going to be because of me.”
Mia shot her a look. “Don’t be so sure. One day, your family might be begging Isabella to come back.”
“No way. That’s never going to happen. Ethan hasn’t even tried to bring her home.”
Ethan, somewhere else, thought to himself, I have asked. Isabella just refused. She couldn’t care less.

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...
