After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 617
Before Isabella could even get a word out, Ethan lifted his hand, looking like he might slap Sophia. He stopped himself at the last second. No matter how mad he got, he really did care about his little sister.
“This has nothing to do with Isabella. And if you say another bad word about her, don’t blame me for what happens next.”
Sophia flinched as soon as she saw Ethan’s hand in the air, arms flying up to shield her head. She peeked through her fingers when she realized he wasn’t actually going to hit her.
Still, Ethan’s words stung. She glared at him, voice full of hurt. “I’m just worried about you. I’m trying to look out for you, and here you are, taking her side. You don’t care about me anymore. You only care about Isabella now.”
Jennifer noticed the bruises on Ethan’s face and frowned. “Ethan, what happened to you?”
“It’s nothing. Harold and I drank too much last night. We got carried away, ended up sparring, and neither of us was gentle about it. That’s all.”
Jennifer glanced at Isabella. Isabella didn’t react at all. She didn’t seem the least bit concerned about Ethan’s face. Jennifer couldn’t help but sigh quietly.
Isabella really had moved on. She was done with Ethan, and it showed.
The divorce was still in progress, but Ethan clearly didn’t want it. He was desperate to patch things up, but after how badly he’d lied to her, there was no way she’d ever trust him again.
No wonder Ethan was drinking so much these days.
Still, Jennifer couldn’t help but feel it was strange. Ethan had been drunk before, but this was the first time he’d ended up fighting Harold. She mulled it over for a moment, then let it go. “You should put some ointment on those bruises. They’ll heal faster.”
Sophia tried to stop him, but it was too late.
Ethan swallowed and looked at Sophia. “Tastes normal. Nothing wrong with it.”
He took another sip, then one more, and finally set the cup down. “It’s just regular coffee. There’s nothing weird about it.”
“You’re just saying that because you’re on her side. The coffee is bad, it tastes totally off,” Sophia insisted, though her voice trembled a little. Her heart pounded. What if something happened to Ethan? Natalie never told her exactly what would happen to whoever drank it.
Jennifer squeezed Sophia’s hand. “Sophia, if Ethan says the coffee is fine, then it’s fine. He’s the pickiest coffee drinker I know. He barely ever likes anyone’s coffee.” She tugged Sophia gently. “Come on, let’s go home.”

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...
