Barbara was just giving Harold a quick heads up. Once he got the message, she hung up almost right away.
Harold stepped back into the café.
Ethan was still sitting exactly where Harold had left him, his coffee untouched.
A girl approached Ethan, phone in hand, chatting with him for a moment. She was probably asking for his social media. With a face like his, Ethan was used to strangers coming up and trying to get his contact info.
Harold didn’t catch what Ethan said to her, but he did see the girl leave looking disappointed.
It wasn’t surprising. There were always girls interested in Ethan, but none ever seemed to get close. Even Isabella, the woman he had actually proposed to, never got his real affection. So what chance did anyone else have?
Harold slid into the seat across from Ethan, acting casual.
“You really can’t catch a break, can you? Can’t even drink a coffee without someone trying to add you online.”
Ethan raised an eyebrow. “Like you’re any different.”
Harold grinned. “But I never give anyone a chance. My love life’s actually simple. Not like you, carrying Natalie around in your heart.”
Ethan let out a long breath. “I’ve already said I’m letting go of Natalie. I told her to her face — she needs to stop coming to me. She’s married to Jordan now. Three’s a crowd. I’m done. I don’t want to be stuck in the middle anymore.”
Harold gave him a look, half amused, half skeptical. “You loved her for years. You used to swear you’d love her forever. And now you’re just walking away?”

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...
