After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 486
Ethan watched her, his eyes full of longing. He hated the idea of letting go.
He almost wanted to take it all back.
In the end, he just spoke quietly. “I haven’t changed my mind, Isabella. But I still have a chance, right?”
“As long as we’re not officially divorced, we’re still married. Of course I should treat you well.”
“Why don’t you give me a little time? Just watch me for a while, see how I do, and then decide if you really want to go through with the divorce. Okay?”
Isabella kept eating, barely looking at him. “Ethan, I’m trying to eat. Don’t bring up things that will kill my appetite. At least wait until I finish and digest. If you keep going, I might just throw up everything I just ate.”
“And you don’t need to act for my sake. Just be yourself. Don’t worry about my feelings. I’m not changing my mind.”
Ethan reached out, wanting to touch her face, but she pulled away and shot him a warning glare. “Ethan, don’t even think about touching me. If you try, I swear I’ll dump this bowl of rice right on your head.”
A flicker of hurt crossed Ethan’s face.
She wouldn’t even let him touch her. But they were still married. They still shared a bed, could do all the things married couples do.
An idea popped into Ethan’s mind. Maybe if they got close again, really close, and she ended up pregnant, she wouldn’t want a divorce anymore.
He couldn’t help staring at Isabella, his gaze burning hotter as he looked her over.
“Ethan, even if we sleep together, I’m still getting a divorce.”
Her words made Ethan feel a little awkward. Was she a mind reader? It was like she knew exactly what he was thinking.
“Isabella, are you really giving up on me for good?”
“Yes. As far as I’m concerned, you’re done. No second chances, no way back.”
But now, just to try and win Isabella back, he was doing everything he could. He was being as thoughtful as possible.
By the time Ethan finished washing up and came out of the bathroom, Isabella was already curled up in bed, fast asleep.
Ethan just stared for a moment. She’d gone to sleep right after eating.
He put everything away and checked his phone. He was shocked to see he’d been washing dishes for nearly an hour.
He’d used way too much soap, scrubbing the same dishes over and over. No wonder she’d fallen asleep.
Ethan sat at the edge of the bed, watching Isabella breathe softly in her sleep. He couldn’t help himself. He leaned closer, wanting to kiss her.
But then he heard footsteps outside the door and quickly sat up straight, startled.
Seriously, he thought. Trying to steal a kiss from his own wife and feeling like a total thief.

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...
