After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 566

After Sophia finished venting, Natalie spoke in a gentle tone. “Ethan doesn’t actually want the divorce, you know. He said even if it goes through, he’ll just start chasing after Isabella all over again.”

“He told me that the moment he starts pursuing her again, that’s when he’ll know he’s really fallen for her.”

Sophia stared at her, eyes wide. “Seriously? Ethan wants Isabella back?”

“What does she have that’s so special? Did she put a spell on him or something? I mean, Ethan’s always loved you. He even said the only reason he married Isabella was so he could see you more easily at the Lane house. Isabella was just part of his plan.”

“Sure, he defended her after they got married, but that was just because she was his wife. If he didn’t stand up for her, it would make him look bad. It wasn’t about feelings. From the way he treated her, he clearly wasn’t in love. So why is he suddenly acting like he’s head over heels right after the divorce?”

Natalie’s voice was soft. “Maybe Isabella insisting on the divorce made Ethan want to win her over. Honestly, I think she’s playing hard to get.”

“Think about it. She was so obsessed with Ethan before. There’s no way she just got over him in a few months. She must’ve changed her game. Now she’s catching his attention and making him fall for her, so she can become Mrs. Adams for real.”

Throughout their short marriage, Ethan and Isabella had slept in separate rooms. They were married in name, but that was about it.

She shook her head. “I just can’t believe Ethan doesn’t love you anymore. He’s loved you for so long, anyone could see that. He’s always been yours.”

“There’s got to be something else going on. I bet Isabella did something to make him chase after her. She doesn’t deserve it.”

“Sophia, this is Ethan’s business. Stay out of it. If you upset him, he’ll only get mad at you, and you’ll end up hurt. His wife is the one who’ll spend her life with him. You’re just his sister. You’re not as important as Isabella, and if you go after her, Ethan really won’t let it slide.”

Natalie sounded like she was trying to talk Sophia down, but deep down, she was pushing her to stir up trouble for Isabella.
