After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 686
Isabella paused, her gaze steady as she spoke to the two men. “No more fighting, you two.”
Both men replied at the same time. “We’re done. No more fighting.”
But that didn’t stop them from shooting daggers at each other the moment she turned away.
Without another word, Isabella grabbed her keys and left, driving off on her own.
She didn’t head straight back to the office. Instead, she made her way to the coffee shop.
Laura spotted her as soon as she walked in and hurried over. “Did everything go alright?” she asked quietly.
“Yeah, I got what I needed,” Isabella replied.
Laura let out a breath she’d clearly been holding. “Good. Now you can finally stop stressing about this.”
Isabella pulled her into a quick hug. “Laura, I feel like I’ve been reborn.”
“Reborn?” Laura blinked, then grinned. “Oh, I get it. Leaving a bad marriage behind is like being born again. It’s a fresh start. From here on out, your life’s going to be so much easier.”
“Exactly. It’s a new beginning. Things are only going to get better from here,” Isabella agreed, her smile genuine.
She hadn’t shared the real story with Laura, or even with her mom. The truth about her second chance was something she kept to herself.
They settled behind the counter together. Isabella took a moment to look around the shop. There were a few customers, not too many, just enough to fill about half the seats. Considering it wasn’t even the end of the workday, having that many was pretty decent.
Coffee tasted pretty similar no matter where you went. What really brought people back to Hearthside Coffee was the warm service, the cozy atmosphere, and those incredible pastries.

The readers' comments on the novel: After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan)
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...
