After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 503
“I don’t think being with you would make me a laughingstock in high society. This is between us. It has nothing to do with anyone else. Let people say what they want. We just need to live our own lives and be happy.”
“Besides, our families aren’t that different. You haven’t even given me a chance to try, so how can you be so sure I wouldn’t fit in?”
“My family runs a business. So does yours. We’re actually pretty well matched.”
“Laura, just give me a chance. Give yourself a chance too, okay?”
“We haven’t even tried, so how do we know if we’d work out? Let’s try dating for a year. If you still think I’m not right for you, you can break up with me. I’ll accept it.”
Laura met his gaze, and for a moment, neither of them spoke.
She remembered what Linda had told her. Linda said her family’s business was doing better these days because Jesse had been helping behind the scenes, introducing clients and opportunities. Laura knew Jesse understood her worries, so he tried to quietly fix things, trying to close the gap between them.
Linda also told her not to judge Jesse just because of what happened with Isabella’s marriage. Ethan being a jerk didn’t mean every guy in Cabinda was the same. Jesse was a good guy. So was Harold. Coming from Linda, that meant a lot. If Linda approved, Jesse must really be a decent person.
“Jesse, you haven’t had breakfast yet, have you? There’s still some left inside. Why don’t you come in and have some?”
Laura changed the subject. She wasn’t going to say yes to him just because he’d helped her family. She needed time to think about it. She also wanted to see if Jesse and his family would truly accept her.
A vase sat on her living room table. She usually ordered fresh flowers online and arranged them herself. It brightened up the place and made her home feel elegant.
She walked over, took out the flowers that were starting to wilt, and arranged the roses and baby’s breath Jesse had brought. The bouquet looked beautiful.
Once she was satisfied, Laura turned around, put down the insulated lunchbox, and waved Jesse over to the dining table. She headed into the kitchen and brought out the breakfast she’d made earlier.
“Isabella has to eat light these next few days, so the breakfast is kind of plain. I hope you don’t mind.”

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...
