After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 724
Jesse looked at Laura, his eyes soft. “Laura, I’ll always be good to you. I can wait for you to fall in love with me, however long it takes. I’ve got my whole life ahead of me to wait. I really believe that one day you’ll love me back. I don’t fall for people easily, but when I do, it’s for good. For life.”
Laura just smiled and let it go at that. There was nothing more to say. Words didn’t mean much. Life was long. Who could say if feelings would change or stay the same?
She knew most couples were truly in love when they first got married. Still, so many of them didn’t make it. Even people who’d once been crazy about each other could end up drifting apart.
It felt even riskier among wealthy families. Marriages there rarely lasted. People who’d seemed perfect together would break up or move on in a few years.
Jesse’s feelings seemed real right now. Laura believed that much. But the promise of loving only her for a lifetime? She just couldn’t buy it, not yet. Accepting Jesse meant taking a risk. Was she brave enough to gamble on love?

Meanwhile, Isabella found herself in the middle of a standoff. Harold and Ethan were both insisting on taking her home.
The two guys started arguing, neither willing to back down.
Ethan jumped in first. “It just makes sense for me to take her. She lives right next door, we’re neighbors. I have a bunch of bodyguards with me, and I know how to take care of myself.”
Ethan’s jaw tightened and his eyes darkened. Harold knew exactly where to hit.
Hurting Isabella was Ethan’s biggest regret. He hated thinking about it, hated when anyone brought it up. He knew he was at a disadvantage now. If he wanted another chance with Isabella, he’d have to show her he was different. He’d have to try ten times harder than Harold just to earn back her trust, maybe even her love.
He looked at Harold, frustrated. “That’s all in the past. I know I messed up, but I’m changing. Can you stop bringing it up? Like you’ve never made mistakes?”
He turned to Isabella, his voice softer. “Everyone screws up sometimes. What matters is fixing it. I’m trying to do better. Isabella, don’t listen to Harold. He’s not exactly innocent either. He was after you even when you were still my wife.”

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...
