After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 579
Ethan slid Isabella’s phone out of his pocket. He hesitated, clearly not wanting to let it go, but after a moment, he handed it back to her.
Isabella took her phone and set her chopsticks down. She glanced out the window. Rain was still pouring.
“Thinking about heading out?” Ethan asked, watching her.
She shot him a look. “Why aren’t you at work? It’s Friday.”
“I talked to Grandma. I’ll only be in the office now and then this month. Jeremy’s covering for me for a while.” He paused, searching her face. “I want to spend more time with you.”
He was determined. If he could get Isabella to change her mind about the divorce within a month, that would be perfect. If not, he’d hand the CEO job to Jeremy and finally have the time he needed to win her back. Isabella was the only woman he had ever married, and he wasn’t letting go.
Isabella didn’t say anything. She stood and left the dining room, heading straight upstairs without stopping. Ethan followed her up.
She walked into her room. He followed. She tried to close the door, but he blocked it with his hand.
“Isabella, I’m sorry. I was terrible earlier. I really mean it.”
She looked him right in the eyes. “Ethan, you can’t keep hurting me and then apologizing like it fixes everything. What’s the point of sorry?”
His voice was soft. “I’ll think things through from now on. I promise.”
She stared at him for a long moment, then let go of the door and started packing her things.
“What are you doing?” Ethan rushed in, trying to stop her. “Are you moving out?”
“I’ll stay with my mom for now. Once the house is in my name and you’ve moved out, I’ll come back.” She brushed his hand away and kept packing.
“You don’t have to move.” Ethan’s voice was low. “This is your home. You don’t have to go anywhere.”
“If you don’t want to live with me, then I’ll leave.” His words were barely above a whisper. “I’ll move out right now.”
Isabella looked at him, silent and unreadable. After a moment, she slowly hung her clothes back in the closet.
“You have a lot of stuff. Moving will take time. I can help you…”
She cut him off. “No need. I’ll just take what’s mine. Everything else stays here for you. You’re used to it, right? Susan and everyone else will stay too. The villa’s too big for you to be here alone. I’d worry.”
“And the house needs them. They’ve worked here for years, you know how good they are. If you hired new staff, it just wouldn’t be the same.”

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...
