After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 855
“Alright,” Isabella said, her tone calm and steady. “York, just give us a moment. We’ll take care of that for you.”
York’s bodyguards came in and settled at nearby tables, keeping a subtle but obvious watch over him. Isabella and Laura got up to handle the arrangements. A few minutes later, York’s coffee arrived, along with a plate of the café’s most popular pastries, all neatly arranged in front of him.
“Enjoy, York,” Isabella said, setting everything down herself.
York looked up at her, his gaze deep and unreadable. “Isabella, would you join me for a cup of coffee?”
She shook her head, offering a polite smile. “Sorry, York. I have something I need to handle. I have to leave now.”
The truth was, Isabella didn’t enjoy spending time with him. York seemed to sense that, because he didn’t push. He just smiled, a little less brightly. “Maybe next time. I hope I’ll get to treat you to dinner someday.”
Isabella smiled again but didn’t say anything. “If you need anything else, just let the staff know. I need to get going.” She turned to Laura, said a few quiet words, grabbed her bag, and gave York a final nod before walking out.
Laura noticed as soon as Isabella left, York’s smile faded. He sat there, sipping his coffee slowly, barely touching the pastries—just a single bite from each. After half an hour, he paid the bill and left, his bodyguards following close behind.
Laura couldn’t shake the feeling that York had only come here for Isabella.
Not long after York left, Isabella called. “Laura, I was in a car accident,” she said, her voice steady but a little shaken.
“What? Are you okay? Were you hurt?” Laura’s heart leaped into her throat as she fired off questions.
Just as she reached the door, her mom appeared. “Laura, where are you off to?”
“Mom, Isabella was in a car accident. I’m going to pick her up.”
Evelyn’s face paled. “Is she alright? Is she hurt? Was it serious? I’m coming with you.”
She didn’t wait for an answer, just turned and followed Laura out. “Isabella said she’s not hurt, but her car’s pretty much done for. I’m just going to get her.”
Evelyn let out a relieved breath. “As long as she’s okay, that’s all that matters. The car can always be replaced.”

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...
