Isabella took a deep breath, holding back the urge to start yelling. Instead, she walked forward and squeezed right between Ethan and Harold, forcing Ethan to let go.
She stepped into the room and only then realized it was the presidential suite. Without saying a word or even glancing at them, Isabella went straight to the sofa and sat down.
Ethan closed the door quietly behind him. Harold just stood there, waiting.
“What are you doing just standing there? Go on,” Ethan whispered.
Harold whispered back, “I’m waiting for you. We’re bros, right? It’d feel weird not to wait.”
Ethan shot him a glare, muttering something Harold couldn’t make out. The two of them finally shuffled over, dragging their feet.
“Ethan, is this what you call talking things out? Just look at Harold. Look what you did to him.”
Harold nodded hard, keeping his voice low. “Isabella, Ethan’s brutal. He went right for my face.”
Ethan jumped in, “You did the same to me! You kept aiming for my face. Babe, look at me. My face is a mess because of Harold. He hit me so hard.” Ethan whined, sounding completely pathetic. “He’s just jealous I’m better looking, so he went straight for my face. How am I supposed to show myself in public now?”
Harold shot right back, “You started it! I was just defending myself. We barely said two words before you threw a punch. I’m not an idiot, you know. I’m not just going to stand there and get hit. If anyone’s to blame, it’s you. And now you’re trying to play the victim.”
Ethan instantly shrank into the corner, looking ridiculously pitiful.
“You always take Harold’s side. I’m jealous, okay? I admit it. From now on, if I ever see him with you, I’m going to punch him every single time.”
“Ethan!” Isabella’s patience was gone. She stood up, furious. “Harold took off from work, came all this way with Barbara just to celebrate my new shop. I’m trying to treat my guests to a nice meal and you have to ruin it. How am I taking his side? He’s a guest. You punched my guest. Don’t you think you should apologize? It feels like you’re just trying to make things hard for me. First Sophia shows up and causes trouble, and after I finally send her off, you get into a fight with Harold. You beat up my guest on my big day. What, do you want my business to go under?”
Ethan had nothing to say.
Harold spoke up, “Isabella, this is just between me and Ethan. We’ll sort it out. I don’t need him to get me ice. Honestly, I’m worried he’d just chuck it at my face out of spite.”

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...
