After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 604
Harold finally broke the silence. “Barbara, Isabella’s exhausted today. Let her go home and get some rest. I’m fine, really. It’s just a few bumps and bruises. I’ll be back to normal in a couple days.”
Barbara could see Isabella was worn out, so she just nodded and stood with Harold, watching Isabella drive away.
Once Isabella’s car disappeared down the road, Barbara headed for her own car. She drove into the villa’s driveway and parked neatly. Harold closed the main gate behind them.
Barbara looked over at him. “Seriously, Harold? Isabella actually came over and you didn’t even think to invite her to stay for dinner?”
Harold shrugged, rubbing his sore cheeks. “With my face like this, eating is a challenge. Every little move hurts. If I asked her to stay, she’d just feel guilty and probably lose her appetite. I already asked her to bring me some porridge. Took everything I had just to finish it.”
Barbara’s eyes softened as she looked at the bruises on his face. “What’s wrong with Ethan? He really let you have it. Didn’t you fight back?”
“I did. Ethan’s just as messed up as I am.” Harold grinned, then winced at the pain. “Whatever I’m feeling, he’s feeling too. At least Isabella cared enough to check on me. He doesn’t even get that. That must drive him crazy.”
Barbara laughed. “So you two really brawled over a girl?”
“I guess you could say that. Ethan started it. He hit me, so of course I hit him back. I didn’t do anything wrong.”
They wandered back toward the house together.
As they walked, Harold continued, “Ethan asked if I’d go after Isabella once their divorce went through. I told him the truth, and he just lost it. That’s how we ended up fighting.”
Barbara scoffed. “Is he really having one of those ‘didn’t know what he had until it was gone’ moments?”
Harold shook his head. “I don’t think he’s in love with her. He just feels guilty. Still, they’ve been married for a few months. Seeing each other every day, some feelings are bound to develop.”
Barbara nudged him. “Did you say yes?”
Harold tried to smile, then winced again. “Of course I did. I’d be crazy to pass up a chance like that.”
Just then, Harold’s phone started to ring.
He glanced at the screen. “It’s Mom.”
Barbara gave him a look and gestured for him to answer.
He picked up, lowering his voice. “Don’t tell Mom Ethan and I got into a fight, okay?”

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...
