After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 800

“Ethan, whatever happens between you and Natalie is your business. It has nothing to do with me.”

“I don’t care about that anymore.”

“Isabella.”

Ethan stared at her, his gaze dark and intense. “Is this about Harold? You like him, don’t you? You’re always with him. Don’t try to tell me you’re just friends. You two look like a couple, not just friends. Harold loves you. You can see it in the way he looks at you. It’s obvious.”

He knew that look, because it was the same way he looked at her. He was a man, and he knew exactly what Harold wanted.

Harold had already confessed to Isabella, too. The day they got divorced, he couldn’t wait. Before that, Harold was always acting like he cared about their marriage, telling Ethan to treat Isabella better, to appreciate her, pretending to have their best interests at heart. But as soon as the divorce papers were signed, Harold confessed his feelings to Isabella. Ethan could barely stand the thought.

“That’s between me and Harold. It has nothing to do with you. I don’t owe you an explanation.”

“Ethan, please leave.”

“Isabella…” Ethan reached for her, desperate, but then Stephanie’s voice suddenly rang out from the front door.

“Ethan!”

Her tone was sharp, her face serious.

Both Ethan and Isabella turned to look at the entrance as Stephanie walked toward them.

“Grandma,” Ethan said, clearly surprised. When did she get here? He hadn’t even noticed. No one told him, or maybe she’d just arrived.

Ethan thought he was already holding back as much as he could. If he really lost control, he would have just dragged Isabella to bed and made sure she had his child. Then she’d have no choice but to remarry him. But he hadn’t done that. He wanted to win her back the right way.

“I don’t care why you did it. You were disrespectful. Apologize to Isabella, and then come with me.” Stephanie’s words were firm.

Ethan stared at his grandmother, stunned. Hadn’t she said she’d support him in winning Isabella back?

Stephanie glared at him, and finally, Ethan apologized.

For Stephanie’s sake, Isabella didn’t argue. She just said, “Ethan, I hope you remember we’re divorced. We’re both free now. You can go after whoever you want, but please stop bothering me. Who I’m with is my business. That’s my life now.”

“I don’t want anyone else. I only want you. I just want to be with you.”
