After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 731
Natalie wrapped her arms around Ethan again, her hands tugging at his shirt. “Ethan, let’s be together. I want a baby. Your baby.”
She pressed closer, her voice trembling. “I don’t think Jordan’s genes are any good. I got pregnant with his child once, but I lost it. It’s been so long and I still can’t get pregnant again. It has to be him. I just want to be a mom. I want a sweet, healthy baby. Please, give me that chance.”
“If you don’t want to keep things going between us, that’s fine. All I want is your child. Once I’m pregnant, I’ll keep my distance, just like before. I just need to know you still care about me, that you still love me.”
Ethan pushed her off with more force than he meant to. Natalie stumbled and hit the floor hard, pain shooting through her as she sat there, stunned.
She looked up at him, tears welling in her eyes. Was he really done with her?
“Natalie, if you keep this up, I’m really going to lose my temper.”
He smoothed out his pajamas, his face cold, harder than she’d ever seen it. For the first time, he looked at her like a stranger.
“There’s nothing possible between us,” he said.
“Yes, I loved you. I wanted to tell you, but Jordan got there first. We grew up together. He’s like a brother to me. I couldn’t just step in after he confessed.”
“And you accepted him so quickly. You didn’t even give me a chance to figure out what I felt or to regret not saying anything.”
“Natalie, from the day you married Jordan, that was it for us. I was an idiot, holding onto my feelings for you and hurting Isabella, who never deserved it. My divorce was just karma catching up with me.”
“I can’t keep living in the past. That would be unfair to Jordan and would always be a wedge in your marriage. I’m supposed to be your friend. I should be looking out for both of you.”
“The only way to finally heal things is for me to walk away for good.”
“It was never about you. It was about The Lane Group and The Adams Group, keeping the partnership going, getting more out of you.”
Natalie struggled to her feet, glaring at him. “If you weren’t the Adams family heir, if you weren’t the CEO, do you really think Jordan would care about you? You’re just someone useful to him.”
“He even uses me. He knows you love me, that you can’t say no to me, so he takes advantage of that. No matter how good he seems to me, it’s always about what he can get from you.”
Ethan just stared at her, at the woman he’d loved for so many years.
Suddenly, he understood why Jesse and Harold couldn’t stand Natalie. They were on the outside looking in. They saw her more clearly than he ever could.
He’d let years of friendship and shared memories cloud his heart. Whenever Natalie was involved, he lost all sense of reason. He could never see her for who she really was.

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...
