After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 368
Laura wandered over to the door, peeked outside for a second, then came back in and asked, “What’s this two hundred million thing you mentioned? Ethan looked seriously pissed.”
“Let him be mad. Honestly, I hope he gets so fed up with me that he finally asks for a divorce.”
Isabella reached for a bottle of water from the stash she kept for the renovation crew. She twisted the cap off and took a long drink, finishing half the bottle before she started to explain.
“Jennifer invited me out for coffee.”
Laura rolled her eyes. “As if she actually wants to have coffee with you. She’s never liked you. It’s gotta be something else.”
“Exactly. She offered me a check for a hundred million to divorce Ethan. I said it wasn’t about the money, so she upped it to two hundred million.”
Laura’s jaw dropped. Isabella gave her a look.
“I was honestly tempted,” Isabella admitted. “Part of me wanted to take the money, figure out some way to get Ethan to agree to a divorce. But Jennifer wouldn’t give me the money up front. She said I’d get it after the divorce went through. I didn’t trust her. She’s double-crossed me before.”
She let out a slow breath. “I have to watch my back. If I cross Ethan, he’ll make sure I end up with nothing. He’s powerful enough to ruin me if he really wants to.”
“Unless I had a bunch of cash hidden away, enough to live on for a while, I couldn’t risk it. The money wasn’t guaranteed, so in the end, I turned down Jennifer’s two hundred million. Laura, two hundred million! People like us couldn’t make that in three lifetimes.”
“I just had to watch it slip through my fingers.”
“And since Ethan is the one refusing to divorce, it’s basically his fault I lost that money. I came back here furious. No way could I be polite to him.”
Isabella shook her head. “I won’t.”
While they were talking, Cynthia came in. Right behind her was Ethan.
Laura and Isabella exchanged a look. Just a few minutes ago, Ethan had stormed out, looking furious. Now here he was again, with Cynthia walking in ahead of him.
“Mom,” Isabella called out.
Laura greeted her too, “Hey, Cynthia.”
Cynthia just nodded at Laura and didn’t even look at Isabella. She stepped inside and glanced around at the nearly finished renovations.

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...
