After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 540

“Are you not satisfied? Isabella, if you need anything, just say the word. As long as I can do it, I will.”

Isabella didn’t say a thing. Ethan’s heart started racing. He thought maybe she wasn’t happy with what he was offering.

“Ethan, I don’t have any requests. You’ve already given me more than enough.”

Her voice was quiet, almost surprised. She really hadn’t expected him to be this generous.

“I’m the one who hurt you first. Giving you this much is the least I can do. All I ask is that you don’t hate me.”

“I don’t hate you.”

Isabella sounded calm, almost peaceful. “I used to, but not anymore.”

She only hated him when she loved him. Back then, his coldness had cut deep. Now, the love was gone, and since he was willing to let her go, the hate disappeared too.

Ethan fell silent, then let out a bitter laugh. “So, when you stop loving someone, you stop hating them too. Isabella, you don’t love me anymore, so there’s nothing left to hate.”

Not long ago, she had said she hated him and Natalie. Now, the look in her eyes was clear and steady, with not even a hint of love left.

“Where’s the pen? I’ll sign.”

“Oh, I forgot to bring one. Let me grab it.”

Ethan stood and headed upstairs. In the study, he picked up a pen and an ink pad. Even with them in hand, he just stood there, not ready to go back down. He stared at nothing for a while, lost in thought. Only after ten minutes did he finally return.

When he handed the pen to Isabella, he noticed she had already signed her name. The divorce papers were on the coffee table, a pen resting on top of them.

“You found a pen.”

“There was one in the drawer. I’ve signed already. Just hand me the ink pad, and I’ll put my fingerprint on it.”

She remembered how in her last life, it took three years to finally get the divorce. She never wanted to go through that again.

“Isabella, congratulations. You’re finally getting your freedom back.”

Laura’s words made Isabella smile for the first time in days.

“Yeah, it’s really happening. Not only did Ethan agree to everything, but he’s being so generous. I get to keep all the wedding gifts. He’s handing over his income from after we got married, and he’s transferring the title of this mansion to me. On top of that, he’s giving me three hundred million as compensation.”

“I never thought he’d be this generous.”

Compared to her last life, when she left with nothing, this time she was leaving as a rich woman. Isabella was more than satisfied. Still, what mattered most was her freedom.

Maybe now, Natalie would finally stop seeing her as the enemy.

With Ethan, Jordan, and Natalie out of her life, maybe she could finally live a long, peaceful life. Not like before, when everything ended so soon, and so painfully.
