If those thugs wanted revenge, they should come after him. Why were they messing with the woman he cared about? Why go after Isabella? Was it because they figured out how much she meant to him? Did they want him to feel what it was like to lose someone he loved?
Harold didn’t bother to hide his annoyance. “The only reason those criminals are after Isabella is because of you. If you really cared, you’d stay away from her. How much more trouble do you want to bring her?”
Ethan shook his head. “It’s too late for that. They’ve already set their sights on her. The only thing I can do now is stay close and protect her. That’s the only way I might make up for what’s happened.”
Harold didn’t know what to say to that. He just sat there, silent. The truth was, now that Isabella was a target, keeping his distance wouldn’t change anything.
Neither of them had guessed that those kidnappers were backed by such a big organization. The police were still investigating, trying to take the whole group down, but the people behind it all were being careful. They kept a low profile, sending out only a few underlings to do the dirty work. Those guys had no family, no ties, nothing to lose, and most of them already had criminal records. Even if the police caught them, they couldn’t get to the real mastermind.
Ethan glanced at Harold’s hands and nodded at the folder he wouldn’t put down. “What’s that?”
Harold looked at the file and said, “I want to work with Isabella’s company. These are the partnership details. I can’t show you.”
Ethan frowned. “Since when does The Carter Group have a reason to work with Isabella’s company? Honestly, your group usually works with The Adams Group.”
Harold shrugged. “If there isn’t a project, I’ll make one up. If I want to work with Isabella, I’ll find a way. She’s working so hard to build her business. I might not be able to help her in other ways, but at least I can give her more business. We both win.”

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...
