After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 587
She didn’t go home. Instead, she went straight to the Lane family’s house.
After getting rid of Sophia, Ethan turned around, slipped off his shoes, and held them out to Isabella.
Isabella frowned. “Ethan, what’s with you? Why are you taking off your shoes?”
He grinned. “Babe, you’re the only one I want holding my shoes. Don’t listen to whatever Sophia said. No one else gets that honor but you. Or hey, maybe I could carry your shoes from now on. How about that?”
“Ethan, stop calling me that. Don’t call me ‘babe’ or ‘wife’ ever again. We’re getting divorced, remember? And I don’t care who carries your shoes. It’s definitely not going to be me.” She looked at him like he was ridiculous, pushed his shoes away, and started to walk off.
Ethan quickly put his shoes back on and hurried after her, apologizing with every step. “Isabella, I’m sorry. I should’ve kicked Sophia out the second she started acting up. I really thought she wouldn’t dare try anything if I was here.”
“Yeah, I thought so too. Turns out I gave you too much credit.”
He kept apologizing as they walked. “I’ll talk to her when I get home. I swear, nothing like this will ever happen again.”
“Your promises don’t mean much. Sophia has her own two feet. If she wants to show up and stir up trouble, you’re not going to stop her. What, are you going to break her legs or something?”
Isabella stopped and turned to face him. “Ethan, if you just kept your distance, if you stopped showing up in my life, Sophia wouldn’t bother coming here to make a scene. The real problem isn’t her. It’s your family never accepting me. You’re the reason I keep getting hurt like this.”
Ethan couldn’t find anything to say.
Ethan reached out to grab Isabella’s hand, but she slapped it away.
“Ethan, today’s my grand opening. I just want to enjoy it. I don’t want to argue with you or let you ruin my mood. If you want to stay for dinner, fine, but you need to respect my boundaries. Keep your hands to yourself. And don’t talk about love. There’s never been any love between us.”
If he wanted romance, he could go find Natalie. She was done with all of that.
“Okay, I won’t bring it up again. Isabella, please don’t make me leave. I really am happy for you.”
Right now, Ethan’s biggest worry was that Isabella would kick him out. Harold was waiting, ready to swoop in the second he left.

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...
