"Ethan's hurt? He fought with Harold? Why would they fight? Aren't they close? Where did you even hear that?"
Sophia answered, "I'm at the hotel right now. The manager told me. Ethan asked him to bring up some medicine. I happened to be here, so the manager mentioned it. I tried to knock on his door, but Ethan wouldn't let me in."
Natalie said, "Okay, I'll be there soon. Don't worry."
"Hurry, Natalie. Ethan only listens to you," Sophia said, sounding anxious.
Natalie promised she'd come right away, then hung up and rushed out.
Why would Ethan and Harold even get into a fight? And Isabella... she knew what happened, but she didn't seem to care at all. Had she really let Ethan go? Back then, anyone could see how much Isabella loved him.
Isabella really didn't care anymore. They were in the middle of getting divorced. She had moved on, for real this time.
Harold said Ethan started the fight. Isabella tried explaining, but Ethan wouldn't believe her. He insisted that she and Harold had something going on, saw Harold as some kind of rival, and even picked a fight with him on the day her new shop opened. Honestly, Ethan brought this on himself.
After seeing off her family and friends, Isabella came back to the shop. She sat down at the counter and let out a sigh. "I'm so tired," she said.
Laura smiled at her. "It's exhausting, yeah, but this is our first shop. Of course we had to celebrate and invite everyone over."
The shop was packed with customers, and even though their feet hurt, they both felt that all the hard work was worth it. It was only the grand opening, though. There were discounts and special deals, so it made sense that the place was busy. The real test would come when all the promotions ended.
Isabella studied her friend. "Laura, are you sure? You look like you want to say something. Did something happen while I was asleep?"
Laura hesitated, but then she said, "It's nothing... It's just not really your business anymore." She paused, then went on anyway. "Natalie went to The Cabinda Hotel this afternoon. She went into Ethan's room and stayed for a long time before leaving. Sophia actually came over to tell me."
Isabella was quiet for a moment. "He fought with Harold. Both of them are all bruised up. I was so mad at him, I didn't even bother with an ice pack. It's not surprising he'd ask Natalie to go over. He wants her to feel sorry for him. That's exactly what he wants. Oh, right. I should check on Harold. See if he's doing okay."
She felt guilty about Harold. He got dragged into this because of Ethan's jealousy, and it wasn't fair to him.
Isabella picked up her phone and called Harold.

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...
