After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 405
“The time she spent calling you, she could have just called her family doctor instead. You’re not a doctor. What can you really do for her? Even if you took her to the hospital, I doubt she’d actually go.”
The driver glanced at Ethan in the rearview mirror, his tone casual but honest.
“And you and Isabella fought last night. Shouldn’t you be trying to make things right with your wife? Instead, you let one call from Natalie pull you away. How do you think Isabella feels about that?”
Ethan stayed quiet for a long time. The silence felt heavy in the car. Finally, he spoke, his voice low. “Turn around. Let’s go back to the shop.”
The driver blinked in surprise, then gave a small, relieved smile. “Alright.”
At last, Ethan was coming to his senses.
After telling the driver to head back, Ethan took out his phone. He called Natalie’s brother, explained that she was sick, and mentioned that Jordan was out of town. He asked if someone from her family could go check on her.
“Natalie’s not feeling well? Okay, I’ll call my mom and have her go over,” her brother replied. He didn’t ask questions, just hung up and dialed Adelina right away.
Letting the Gates family know seemed to take a huge weight off Ethan’s shoulders.
When they got back to the shop, Laura barely glanced at him, making a face. Isabella didn’t even look up. Both of them were busy with their own things, acting like he wasn’t even there.
Ethan had never been ignored like this before. Part of him wanted to just walk out and never look back, but every time he reached the door, he hesitated, then wandered back in. He followed Isabella everywhere, sticking to her like glue.
No matter where she went, he was right behind her. If she started to do something, he’d step in and try to help, though he wasn’t much good at any of it. Didn’t matter, he just wanted to be close to her and show that he was trying.
Finally, Isabella lost her patience. “Ethan, do you not have anything better to do? Please, just leave me alone. You’re not helping, you’re making everything more complicated. Go take care of Natalie. People are always at their weakest when they’re sick.”
By the afternoon, she was planning to head to The Lane Estate and demand that Natalie return the wedding gifts that rightfully belonged to her.
“You really underestimate someone who’s already died once, Ethan.”
Already died once?
Ethan frowned, confused by her words.
“Isabella—”
Before he could say anything else, his phone rang again. This time, it was the housekeeper from The Lane Estate. She sounded urgent. Natalie’s fever had gotten worse, and she was about to pass out.

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...
