After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 695
“Are you staying over tonight?” Melissa asked.
“Laura’s drunk and all by herself. I just want to make sure she’s okay, so I’ll stay and look after her,” Jesse replied.
“Melissa, you don’t have to worry. I would never take advantage of her because she’s drunk.” Jesse spoke quickly, wanting her to know he was a decent guy, not the type to do anything inappropriate, even if he wanted nothing more than to be close to Laura.
He’d liked her for six months, but he hadn’t even kissed her. Since she hadn’t said yes to him, he didn’t dare even hold her hand. Love only feels good when both people want it.
Melissa nodded. “I know you’re a good guy. Still, if you spend the night at her place, people might get the wrong idea, even if nothing happens.”
“No one will find out. I’m not telling, and neither is she. I just want to make sure she’s safe. I’ll sleep on the sofa tonight.”
Melissa got to her feet. “Where you sleep is your business, not mine. Anyway, I have to go. My bodyguards are waiting downstairs.”
She stood up and Jesse walked her to the door. He watched until she got into the elevator, then went back inside. He checked on Laura, saw she was sleeping peacefully, and finally let himself relax. The weather was warm, so he didn’t need a blanket. He grabbed a pillow, curled up on the sofa, and drifted off almost right away.
***
In the middle of the night, a blaring siren cut through the silence.
Inside the villa, Isabella slept so deeply she didn’t even stir. Barbara didn’t hear it right away either. The alarm kept going off, loud and insistent, and after a while, she finally woke up. She sat up, hurried to the window, and pulled back the curtains. The yard looked calm and empty.

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...
