After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 682
“Grandma, ever since I married Ethan, you’ve been the only one in the Adams family who’s shown me any warmth. Thank you for caring about me all this time.”
Isabella didn’t give Stephanie a chance to say anything more. Her intentions were obvious. She wasn’t going to change her mind.
Stephanie studied her for a long moment before letting out a quiet sigh. “Alright. I know you won’t come back, so there’s no point in trying to talk you into it. I won’t push anymore.”
She pulled out a bank card and handed it to Isabella. “This is from the Adams family. It’s our way of making it up to you. We owe you that much.”
Isabella didn’t take the card. She shook her head gently. “Grandma, Ethan already gave me what I was owed. He even helped me get all the wedding gifts back and insisted I keep them, no strings attached.”
“What Ethan gave you was his responsibility. What I’m giving you is from me. I’m sorry. If I hadn’t held out hope things would magically work out, you never would’ve been hurt in the first place.”
“Please, just take it. It’s not a huge amount, but at least you’ll have something to fall back on if you ever need extra cash for your business. Keep working hard. I know you’ll prove everyone wrong in a few years.”
Isabella still refused. “Thank you, Grandma, but I’ll be alright. I promise I’ll work hard. I want to make something of myself.”
“You already have. Haven’t these last few months gone well for you? You’ve made more in that time than most small businesses do in several years.”
Isabella smiled, a little embarrassed. “That’s just because I was riding Ethan’s coattails. People gave me respect because I was Mrs. Adams. The startup money was from him too. He used me, but honestly, I used him as well.”
“Grandma, I can handle my own problems. There’s no need to get Ethan involved.” Isabella didn’t want to owe Ethan anything.
“Even if you two split up, you can still be friends. And as a friend, Ethan’s really not that bad.”
Isabella stayed quiet. If she had her way, she’d never see him again.
Just then, the driver glanced out the window. “Stephanie, Ethan’s here.” He’d spotted Ethan’s Maybach pulling up.
Ethan was driving himself. He hadn’t even brought a chauffeur.

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...
