After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 729
“Ethan…”
Natalie’s voice trembled with tears. “I’m outside your house.”
Ethan tossed his blanket aside, jumped out of bed, and hurried to the window. When he pulled the curtains open, he caught the glare of headlights at the front gate.
What was Natalie doing here in the middle of the night?
And why did she sound so heartbroken?
Even if Ethan was trying to move on from his feelings for her, they’d known each other their whole lives. If something happened, he’d always worry.
He didn’t hesitate. As fast as he could, he ran out of the house.
“Natalie.”
He swung open the gate and jogged to her car, rapping his knuckles against the window.
Natalie unlocked the doors but stayed where she was.
Ethan opened the door and leaned in, ready to ask what was wrong. Before he could speak, she reached for him, wrapping her arms around his waist and burying her face in his chest. “Ethan,” she sobbed.
Six months ago, Ethan would have been over the moon if Natalie had thrown herself into his arms like this.
Now, he froze. His whole body tensed. He tried to gently push her away and asked, “Natalie, what’s going on? Did something happen? Is Jordan okay?”
“Ethan, I feel so awful.”
As soon as he moved her aside, she pressed in again, this time looping her arms around his neck. She leaned forward, aiming for his lips.
Ethan jerked back, startled.
He pushed her away, harder this time, his heart pounding.
Natalie slammed into the car door.
She’d almost kissed him.
But he’d pushed her away.
Her words tumbled out, wild and messy. Ethan, overwhelmed with anger and frustration, slapped her across the face.
Natalie froze, her hand flying to her cheek, her eyes wide in shock. Tears kept falling as she choked out, “Ethan, you hit me.”
“Natalie, I only did that to make you stop. Do you even realize what you’re doing right now? How could you act like this?”
“Natalie, you’re married to Jordan. You can’t betray him like this.”
“And I would never do that to my own brother. Not ever.”
Natalie stared at him, tears streaming down her face one after another.
She’d offered herself, and Ethan had turned her away.
He really was over her. Isabella had won.
Bitterness twisted inside Natalie. If it weren’t for Isabella, she wouldn’t be suffering like this tonight.

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...
