After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 424
Ethan paused for a moment before saying, “Grandma, can you send a few people over? I’m out of copies of the wedding gift list. If you have any extras, have the bodyguards bring them to me.”
It was time to cut through the chaos.
“Alright, I’ll send eight bodyguards right away. Is that enough?” Stephanie replied. “And I’ll have Mike bring the list. Just make your stance clear, then let Mike handle the rest.”
Stephanie worried that Ethan would go soft the moment he saw Natalie, so she figured Mike should go along to keep an eye on things.
“Thank you, Grandma.”
“I just hope you’ve really figured it out this time,” Stephanie said with a sigh. “Then all the love I’ve given you won’t have been for nothing. What are you planning to do about Isabella?”
“I promised her I’d give her an answer in three days. Either I help her get her wedding gifts back, or I agree to a divorce.”
Ethan thought about what Keith had said. Keith told him that picking between the two wasn’t the answer anymore.
“Just divorce her,” Stephanie said gently. “Even if you finally make a choice, you don’t love her. There’s no reason to keep her tied to you. Give her back her freedom. Let her find real happiness, let her choose the life she truly wants.”
“Grandma, you really think I should divorce Isabella? It’s not that I dislike her. I did want to spend my life with her.”
“Your marriage was a mistake from the start. You don’t dislike her, but you don’t love her either. Living with a man who doesn’t love you is miserable.”
Jackson pulled the phone away and checked the screen, just to make sure this was really Ethan calling. Did Ethan really just say he wanted to get Isabella’s wedding gifts back?
Jackson knew that money never made it to Isabella. Natalie kept it all for herself out of greed. Jackson hadn’t taken a cent; in fact, he’d even given Isabella tens of thousands of his own money.
“Ethan, you and Isabella have been married for a while now. She didn’t say anything before, so why bring it up now?”
Back then, the old Isabella didn’t have the courage to ask for anything. Everyone thought it was pointless to talk about wedding gifts months after the wedding.
“Jackson, it’s not that she didn’t care. She just didn’t dare to ask for what was hers. Now she’s asking. She wants Natalie to give back what belongs to her, and I made it clear the gifts were meant for her alone.”

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...
