After I Stopped Loving Him novel Chapter 423

He set his glass down with a loud clink, his eyes growing colder by the second.

“If I get the wedding gifts back, I’m not divorcing Isabella.”

Keith leaned forward, trying to reason with him. “Mr. Adams, Isabella’s lost all hope in you. You might be able to keep her around, but you can’t force her to stay in love. She’s begging you for a divorce. If you end things now, at least you’ll both have some dignity left. It doesn’t have to get ugly. And if you realize you actually care about her, you can always try again. Win her back. Make her fall for you a second time.”

He paused, his voice gentle but firm. “But this time, you have to be real with her. Only true feelings will last. That’s how you build a life together.”

Ethan’s panic slipped through. “But what if, after the divorce, someone else starts chasing her?”

Keith shrugged. “Then you fight for her. Fair and square. Let the best man win.”

Ethan stared at the floor. “I’ve hurt Isabella so much. There’s no way she’d ever pick me again.”

Keith shook his head. “You won’t know unless you try.”

Ethan fell silent, lost in his thoughts.

Keith stood up. “Think it over, Mr. Adams. I’ve got to get back to work.” He’d said all he could. Whether Ethan listened or not was out of his hands. Judging from how torn up Ethan seemed, Keith suspected he really was starting to care about Isabella. If none of these things had happened, maybe with a little more time, Isabella could have truly taken Natalie’s place in his heart. Natalie never was right for Mr. Adams. She didn’t deserve him.

Keith just hoped Ethan would finally realize who really mattered.

Ethan didn’t say a word as Keith left. After closing the office door, Keith told the secretary not to bother Ethan unless it was urgent.
