After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 397
Ethan’s tenderness, his devotion, his love—those were hers, and hers alone. No one was getting even a sliver of it.
Isabella didn’t head back to the big house she shared with Ethan. Instead, she told the driver to take her to the smaller villa under her own name.
“Isabella, if you don’t go home, Ethan’s going to be upset,” the driver said quietly, though he still did as she asked.
“Let him be upset. Serves him right,” Isabella replied without looking back.
She stepped out, unlocked the gate, and slipped inside. Once she was through, she locked it behind her and waved the driver off, not caring what he thought. The lights in the house came on, the front door closed, and that was that. The driver let out a long sigh and drove away.
He hadn’t gotten far when Ethan called.
“Did Isabella go home?” Ethan asked.
“She went home, but not your home. She’s at her own villa,” the driver answered.
Ethan’s voice was cold. “We’re married. My home is hers, hers is mine. There’s no difference.”
“Sorry, that was my mistake,” the driver apologized quickly.
Ethan just wanted to know where she was. When he realized Isabella wasn’t going back to the house they shared, he told the driver to take him to her place. But after they got back to the city, Ethan changed his mind.
He had the driver stop at the city’s biggest jewelry store. He bought Isabella several sets of jewelry, then picked up some high-end skincare, designer handbags, and brand-name clothes. Only once his arms were full of shopping bags did he tell the driver to head to Isabella’s villa.
“Yeah. Give me one.”
Ethan felt like his chest was tight. He was scared Isabella wouldn’t even open the door for him. After his family found out what really happened, they all blamed him. He knew he had messed up. He actually was a jerk. Even Sophia, who usually didn’t get along with Isabella, told him he should just let her go.
The driver handed over a cigarette and lit it for him.
Ethan smoked in silence, lost in thought. When he finished, he took a deep breath and finally stepped out of the car. The driver followed, helping him carry all the shopping bags.
“Want me to wait for you out here, Ethan?”

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...
