After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 721
“Think of it like Isabella just borrowing Ethan’s bodyguards for a while. You can’t really trust outside hires, you know? What if someone pretending to be a guard tried to get close to her? That’d be even more dangerous.”
So, bringing in new bodyguards for Isabella was definitely out of the question.
Ethan’s guys had been with the Adams family for years. They were loyal, reliable, and had been around since before Ethan and Isabella even got married. There was no way anyone could’ve set them up in advance.
“Harold’s already arranged for his own people to keep an eye on her, too. After what happened last night, he was freaked out and honestly, he felt really guilty. He never thought Ethan would swoop in and snatch up the house next door before he could.”
Harold did have a house in that same gated community, and he went back there every day. Still, it was a bit of a distance from Isabella’s place.
If anything went down, like it did last night, even if Harold rushed over as fast as he could, he’d still be a few minutes behind. He just couldn’t make it there as quickly as Ethan.
Laura went quiet for a second. Then she said, “Watching Ethan chase after Isabella so hard now, I honestly don’t even know what to say. If he’d just given her a little genuine love back then, things wouldn’t be like this.”
“If he couldn’t give her his heart, he shouldn’t have messed with Isabella in the first place. He should’ve just stayed loyal to his Natalie and I might’ve even respected him for that. But no… I really thought Isabella had found her happy ending. Turns out, it was just a trap.”
“After everything, Isabella finally managed to climb out of that mess. There’s no way she’d ever go back.”
Ethan didn’t stand a chance.
Even if Isabella didn’t pick Harold, she definitely wasn’t going to choose Ethan again.
“Natalie went out by herself today. I had someone tail her, but she gave them the slip. We completely lost her.”
Jesse’s face got serious. “Whoever wants Isabella dead this time… it feels like there’s something more going on. It’s not just Natalie.”
Laura said, “Honestly, when your mom first introduced herself, I totally overreacted. I thought she was about to slap a five million dollar check on the table and tell me to take the money and leave you for good.”
“Laura, you think I’m only worth five million? Would you really sell me out for that?”
Jesse seemed stuck on the five million part.
Laura laughed. “Come on, you’re obviously worth way more than that. Besides, it’s not like I need the money. I’m worth more than that now anyway. And you’re not some item I could actually sell.”
“I told you, I was just overthinking it. Your mom didn’t give me a check. She just handed me an envelope. For a second, I thought maybe it was cash, but even then, it couldn’t have been more than a few tens of thousands.”
“So now I’m even cheaper, huh? Just a few tens of thousands and I’m out of the picture,” Jesse joked, shaking his head at himself.

The readers' comments on the novel: After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan)
Author, please get your characters names right. You always messing them up!...
I wish Harold will win Isabella's heart. I was so sad when Isabela was taken for granted coldly and cruelly by her supposed to be husband, and trapped,mocked and humiliated non stop by Natalie. This was so cruel, both don't deserve Isabela' forgiveness I wish for a happy ending between Isabela and Harold, he has the right to be happy after the long wait....
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...
