“But by the time they showed up, I’d already taken care of those three guys.”
Ethan didn’t leave anything out. He told Isabella exactly what happened the night before. He didn’t downplay his part, but he also didn’t take credit for anything he hadn’t done.
“You’re probably hungry. Come downstairs and eat something. I called Susan over to cook for you. I figured you’d wake up with a headache.”
Isabella rubbed her temples, wincing. “My head hurts. Not the worst pain ever, but it’s just... annoying.”
Before she could say anything else, Ethan reached out and tapped her forehead. Whatever patience he’d been holding onto was gone. He let her have it.
“If I hadn’t installed those alarms, you and Barbara would’ve been in real trouble last night. So you’re happy we broke up, fine, but did you really need to get that drunk? All you’re doing is hurting yourself.”
“I don’t want you drinking anymore. Seriously. Try getting wasted again and see what happens. If I find out, I’ll make sure you regret it so much you’ll never even look at alcohol again. Actually, I’m taking every bottle in this place with me later.”
“Let’s see you drink then. Now you know what a hangover feels like. You totally deserved it. Was being away from me really that exciting? You could’ve just gone out dancing or something.”
Isabella felt like she’d just been hit by a storm of words.
“I didn’t think anything like that would actually happen,” she said quietly.
She still couldn’t believe Dave’s guys had been watching her.
“I’m not drinking again. It just messes things up.” She wasn’t saying it because Ethan yelled at her. She genuinely meant it. Drinking just wasn’t worth it.
“Thank you for last night, Ethan,” she said, her tone soft and sincere.

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...
