Isabella sent the bookstore address to Cynthia, then rushed back as fast as she could.
She was barely at the front door when someone called her name.
It was Ethan—her so-called husband.
He hadn’t left after all. Had he really been waiting here the entire time? Didn’t he have anything better to do?
Ever since she came back to life, Isabella kept noticing that Ethan, who used to work from dawn till dusk, not even sparing his weekends, suddenly seemed to have a lot of free time. The CEO of The Adams Group, loafing around like this? It made no sense.
While Isabella was busy complaining in her head, Ethan walked right up to her. He was taller than her, with this intense vibe that made it impossible to ignore him. His handsome face looked even more serious than usual, and the way he stared at her was almost intimidating.
“Why are you still here?” she asked, frowning. “Ethan, have you been slacking off? You seem really free these days.”
He looked down at her and said, “The economy’s only going to get worse in a couple of years. Even the big companies will struggle. If you have a job, you should value it, work hard, and save what you can.”
Save more money, she thought, so when we get divorced, he’ll have more to split with me.
Ethan reached out and tapped her on the forehead. “What are you, a fortune teller? How do you know things will get tougher in two years?”
Fighting against people with power and influence was never easy.
“What two hundred million?” Ethan demanded, his eyes narrowing. “Did you land some big deal? Who would give you that kind of money?”
The only person he could think of was Harold. Maybe Harold wanted to use the investment as an excuse to get closer to Isabella. Ethan clenched his jaw. Harold, of all people. He’d always thought of him as a friend, but now it seemed like he was trying to make a move on his wife.
“I wish someone wanted to invest two hundred million in me,” Isabella said, sighing. “But no such luck. Two hundred million... If only.” She didn’t mention Jennifer’s visit. She was still hoping to pressure Ethan into agreeing to a divorce. Or better yet, maybe one of those women who had a thing for Ethan could finally get involved, and he’d be the one to mess up. That way, when she filed for divorce, he’d have nothing to say.

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...
