After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 589
“If we start drinking now, it’s going to mess with our work this afternoon. Aren’t you heading back to the office?” Jesse asked, quickly dishing up some food for his two friends.
Ethan broke eye contact with Harold and picked up his glass again. He took a sip, grabbed a bite to eat, and shrugged. “I’m not going back. Isabella’s shop is slammed right now. I told her I’d stay and help out.”
Jesse nodded. “If you two still have work, let’s skip the drinks today. Next time, when we’re all free, let’s have a real get-together. It’s been ages since you guys invited me out anyway.”
He grinned, but there was a trace of something else in his voice. “You two are getting closer these days. Your companies keep teaming up, and it feels like you’re shutting me out. Are we still friends or what?”
Harold smiled, shaking his head. “Of course we’re still friends. We always have been. You’ve just been really busy lately, and so have we. That’s all. Next time there’s something fun, we’ll make sure you’re there.”
Ethan let out a dramatic sigh. “I was starting to think you two were plotting something behind my back. Alright, just don’t forget me next time.”
He took another drink, then stood up and walked over to Isabella and Laura, raising his glass. “To you both. Wishing the shop nothing but success.”
Isabella rolled her eyes. “Ethan, stop calling me your wife. We’re divorced.”
He grinned, not missing a beat. “The papers aren’t final yet. You’re still my wife, at least for now. Honestly, you’re the only woman I’ll ever call that. I meant what I said. You’re the only one I’ll ever marry.”
“Everyone, enjoy your food and drinks,” Isabella called out, turning away to greet other guests and do her best to ignore him.
Ethan just smiled and went back to his seat. He finished his drink, then poured himself another.
Harold looked like he wanted to say something but thought better of it.
Suddenly, Ethan leaned in close to Harold and spoke quietly. “Tell me the truth. Do you like Isabella? Once the divorce is final, are you planning to tell her how you feel?”

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...
