Laura leaned in and whispered, “If you’re going, I’m in too.”
She’d never set foot in a place like that, and honestly, she was dying to see what it was all about.
“Isabella, what did you say?” Cynthia’s voice called out. “I didn’t catch that.”
“Nothing, Mom, just chatting with Laura,” Isabella replied quickly. “You go have fun with Uncle and Auntie, stay out as long as you want. No need to rush home. I’ve got things to take care of here.”
Cynthia’s tone softened. “Alright, but don’t overwork yourself. Make sure you eat, drink, and sleep well. Take care of yourself.”
“Don’t worry, Mom. I promise I’ll take care of myself.”
After all, she’d already stared death in the face once. She wasn’t about to be careless with her life now.
Once the call ended, Isabella nudged Laura and lowered her voice. “So, are we really doing this tonight? Should we go check out a male host club?”
Laura shot her a look. “Wait, you’re actually serious?”
“Absolutely,” Isabella said, grinning. “I’m not Mrs. Adams anymore. I don’t have to think about anyone else’s expectations. I can finally do what I want, relax a little. We’re just going to see what it’s like, nothing wild. I’ve always been curious, you know? I hear the guys there are unbelievably good-looking.”
Laura laughed. “Come on, no one’s going to beat your ex-husband in the looks department. And Harold’s not exactly hard on the eyes either.”
Ethan was kind of famous around Cabinda for being the most handsome guy in town.
Isabella rolled her eyes. “Please, I see their faces every day. I’m immune. I just want a change of scenery. Actually... maybe you shouldn’t go. I can just go by myself.”

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...
