Stephanie nearly dropped the phone when she heard Ethan’s voice. “Ethan, what’s wrong? Did something happen? Don’t cry, honey. Just tell Grandma what’s going on, okay?”
Ethan almost never cried. Not since the day his grandpa passed away. But now, just hearing his grandma’s voice made the tears spill over. He wiped his eyes quickly. “I’m okay, Grandma. Nothing happened. I just… I’m feeling down and wanted to talk to you. I wanted to hear your voice.”
Stephanie could tell right away. “It’s about the divorce, isn’t it?” She let out a breath, relieved that it wasn’t anything worse.
Ethan’s voice was shaky. “I don’t want to get divorced, Grandma, but I have to let her go. It hurts so much. I really don’t know what to do. What am I supposed to do?”
Stephanie sighed. “There’s not much you can do now, Ethan. The fact that you’re hurting means your heart’s still in the right place. If you didn’t feel anything at all, then I’d be worried.”
Stephanie knew that if Ethan was this upset about the divorce, it meant he still had feelings for Isabella, even if it was just a little. With some time, he might actually let go of Natalie. There was hope for him yet. If he didn’t care at all, it would mean Natalie was still everything to him, and he’d probably never move on.
“For now, things with Isabella can’t be fixed. You promised her something, so just keep your word. Everything else can wait.”
Stephanie’s heart ached for him, but she knew there was nothing she could do to help.
“Make sure to compensate Isabella. You hurt her first, so don’t be unfair to her,” she reminded him gently.
“I already brought Isabella home. I’m about to draw up the divorce agreement. I think I’ll give her all my income from after we got married.”
He hadn’t signed a prenup. He’d always thought he and Isabella would be together forever. He couldn’t give her love, but he could give her everything else, even a kind of wealth most people would never see. That was why he never bothered with a prenup in the first place.
Now that they were divorcing, Isabella could have asked for a share of his assets. She didn’t, though. She just wanted out as soon as possible.
“You decide what you want to do. Everything in your name belongs to you. Handle it however you think is best.”

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...
