After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 50
After he hung up, he set his phone down on the stone table without a second thought. She had always complained that his teacups were way too tiny, so he told Susan to bring her a bigger one.
“Sophia and her friends are here. Go welcome them,” Ethan said. “You’re the lady of the house, not Susan.”
“How exactly should I welcome them? As your wife, or as the actual hostess?” Isabella asked, raising an eyebrow.
“Is there a difference?”
Isabella smirked. “As your wife, I’m not going to be very friendly. They all have a thing for you, which makes them my competition. Who’s nice to their rivals? If I’m being honest, it’d be like enemies meeting on a battlefield.”
“I’d probably let the dogs chase them around, call them out for being shameless, and even grab a broom to run them off.”
“That’s how I’d treat them as your wife,” she shrugged.
“But if I’m the lady of the house, then they’re just guests. And Sophia’s friends too. Of course I’d treat them well. I’d bring out the good wine, the fancy dishes, maybe give them a little tour of our place.”
“I’d even invite them to stay for dinner, and if they’re up for it, let them stay the night.”
“That’s what a real hostess does.”
Ethan didn’t hesitate. “You’re both my wife and the lady of this house. Your job is to keep the peace here.”
“But they’re Sophia’s friends. If I treat them badly, she’ll come after me for sure. I’d be making enemies for nothing. I’d get stressed out, lose sleep, have nightmares… and then I’d be too tired to make money.”
“Isabella Lane!” Ethan pushed her away and glared. “Did you just bite me?”
“That’s the hand you used to flick my forehead! It hurt like crazy, so I bit it. Now you know how it feels. You can flick me, but I can’t bite you?”
“Ethan, I’m telling you, if I end up dumb one day, it’s all your fault. You flicked my head way too hard.”
Ethan was lost for words. Could one flick really make her stupid?
He glanced at her forehead and saw the red mark where he’d flicked her. Her skin was so fair, it stood out even more. Without thinking, he rubbed the spot on his arm where she’d bitten him.
“Who told you to flick my forehead for no reason? And with so much force. You know how strong you are, right?”

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...
