After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 400
Isabella moved quietly, barely making a sound as she slipped out the front gate. She didn’t want to wake Ethan, or even let him know she was leaving. The gate was still locked from the inside, just as she’d left it last night. Ethan must have climbed over the wall to get in. The wall wasn’t that high, so it wouldn’t have been too hard for him.
About ten minutes after Isabella left, Ethan woke up. He sat there for a moment, groggy and confused, trying to figure out how he’d ended up sleeping on her doorstep. Last night, after he realized Isabella had blocked him, he’d begged Frank for help. Frank had tried calling and texting her, but she never picked up and never replied. In the end, Frank could only tell Ethan he couldn’t do anything more.
“Ethan, you really messed up,” Frank had told him, sounding serious. “No matter what happens between you and Isabella, you need to apologize. Even if she won’t let you in, just wait outside. She used to love you so much. If she finds out you waited for her all night, maybe she’ll forgive you.”
Ethan didn’t need anyone to convince him. He wasn’t planning on leaving anyway.
When he fully woke up, he glanced at the front door. It was still closed, so he figured Isabella was still asleep. He got up, folded the jacket he’d used as a blanket, and put it neatly back in its bag.
He knocked on the door and called out, “Isabella, open up. Isabella.” The house stayed quiet.
He kept knocking, over and over, until his hand started to hurt. Still, there was nothing. No sign of life inside.
Finally, a neighbor came out, probably annoyed by all the noise. She called over the wall, “Who are you? Stop knocking already. Isabella left a while ago.”
“I just saw her on my way back from the market,” she added.
Ethan froze. “She left? When? How did I not notice?”
Was he really that out of it?
The car stopped, and Harold’s friendly, handsome face came into view.
“Harold? What are you doing here?” Isabella asked, surprised.
Harold stepped out of the car with a smile. “Elysian Fields is a project between the Adams Group and the Carter Group. I kept a house here for myself, so I come by for a few days sometimes.”
He glanced at her, then at the road. “Where are you going? You don’t have your car with you? Let me give you a ride.”
He walked around and opened the passenger door for her, waiting for her to get in.

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...
