“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.”

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...
