Ethan was quiet for a moment before finally saying, “He’s going to find out eventually.”
“I... I won’t come around as much anymore. I’ll keep my distance from Natalie. She’s Jordan’s wife now.”
There was already a wall between them. On one side, it was just Ethan. On the other, Natalie and Jordan stood together.
“That’s your decision. You don’t need to tell me.” Isabella turned and started walking away.
Ethan hurried after her. “We came here together, and you didn’t drive. Let me take you home.”
“That’s not necessary. I can get a taxi.”
“Jordan isn’t away on business, so he’s on his way back. Natalie’s just a little under the weather. She doesn’t need me to look after her anymore. I’ll drop you off and head back to the office.”
Ethan’s thoughts were a mess after realizing he’d been lied to. He wanted to be angry at Natalie, but when she started crying, he couldn’t say a single harsh word. She told him he was treating her worse, that she was scared he’d eventually stop caring for her. That’s why she’d lied, just to see if he still cared. She kept insisting she really was sick, that her throat hurt and she had a low fever.
After loving Natalie for so many years, Ethan just couldn’t harden his heart. All he could do was walk away.
Since he’d put it like that, Isabella didn’t argue. She got in the car with him.
Isabella didn’t even glance his way. “Whether she was or not, that’s not my business anymore. But she did lie to you. She said Jordan was out of town just to get you over there. You know what she’s doing.”
Ethan was smart. Of course he knew. But when it came to Natalie, he always shut off his logic. He just wanted to protect her.
He fell quiet again.
After a few moments, Ethan said, “Isabella, if we got divorced... would you ever get married again? If I changed my mind, could I try to win you back? I promise, only if I’ve really let Natalie go. I’d never use you again.”
Isabella quickly shook her head. “Ethan, you’re a loyal person. Please, just stay loyal. Don’t ever regret your choices. Whether I get married again or not, that’s my life.”

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...
