After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 864
“Ethan, do you hate me now? Do you really think your divorce from Isabella is all my fault?”
Natalie’s eyes were already filling up, tears shimmering and ready to spill over.
Jeremy gave Ethan a meaningful look from across the room.
Ethan shot him a glare.
“Natalie, I’m not lying. My uric acid levels are actually high. I have to watch what I eat and I can’t keep drinking those rich soups.”
“My divorce from Isabella was my own doing. It has nothing to do with you.”
He was the one who had fallen for Natalie in the first place. This was on him.
“You said you married Isabella because of me. Even after you two got married, you still treated me so well. So of course I think your divorce is partly because of me. I know it is. Now you regret it, so you blame me. You hate me, don’t you?”
“You haven’t treated me the same for a while now, Ethan. It hurts. Does our friendship, after all these decades, really mean less than your half-year marriage to Isabella?”
Natalie’s voice cracked as the tears finally fell. “Ever since you and Isabella split up, you’ve just gotten colder and colder toward me. You’re punishing me, aren’t you?”
Ethan didn’t say a word.
“I’ll talk to Isabella for you. I’ll tell her you want her back, okay? Ethan, can’t we just go back to how things were? I can’t take you acting like this. I just can’t.”
“Natalie.”
Ethan stood up abruptly, his voice steady but final.
“Yes, I’ve changed. I used to love you, but I don’t want to anymore. You’re Jordan’s wife now. I can’t love you, so I’m done trying.”
Ethan’s words landed like a slap. Natalie just stared at him, frozen, not even remembering to cry.
He really didn’t love her anymore.
He really did resent her.
He had said it. He only wanted Isabella now. He wanted to get back together with her and spend his life with her.
Their childhood friendship was gone.
Even Jeremy looked shocked at how honest Ethan had been.
But maybe this was for the best. Maybe now Ethan could finally start over with Isabella.

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...
