After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 865
Natalie knew she was never going to divorce Jordan. If Ethan kept being so stubborn, he’d end up single forever. No woman would be able to put up with that.
“Jeremy,” she said, wiping her tears away. “Could you leave us for a minute? I need to talk to Ethan alone.”
Jeremy looked at Ethan, then stood up. “Natalie, Ethan’s right. You and Jordan are married now. Things can’t go back to how they were. It’s good to have some boundaries.”
He turned to Ethan. “I’ll be outside. If anything happens, just call me.”
Natalie didn’t know what to say to that.
Did Jeremy really think she was a threat to Ethan?
Ethan could handle himself in a fight. She was hardly a danger to him.
Once Jeremy left, Natalie turned and locked the office door behind him.
“Natalie, why are you locking the door?” Ethan’s voice was tense. He remembered that night she’d shown up at his place, desperate and vulnerable. He stood up and started to walk around the desk toward the door. “If you lock us in here, people will start to talk. They’ll think something’s going on.”
“Ethan.” As he brushed past her, Natalie spun around and wrapped her arms around his waist, holding him tight from behind.
“Ethan, please don’t treat me like this,” she pleaded.
Ethan reacted like he’d been shocked, quickly prying her hands away and gently pushing her back.
He had to look out for the Adams Group and his whole family, not just himself.
“How could Jordan cheat? He loves you. Maybe you misunderstood… I never saw him with any other woman. I see him at events all the time,” Ethan said, trying to make sense of it.
He remembered seeing Jordan at business functions, always with his secretary. Then it hit him. “Wait, was it his secretary?”
Natalie nodded, her eyes red and swollen, her face streaked with tears. There was pain in her voice as she spoke. “It was his secretary. Just like his dad.”
“Ethan, I went to Jordan’s office at lunch today. I overheard him and his secretary in the break room. Then I saw them in his office. They were kissing and touching each other… they were about to go all the way.”
She stepped closer, her voice trembling. “Ethan, Jordan doesn’t love me anymore. You’re all I have left. Please don’t turn me away. I know I’m being selfish, but it’s true. I do love Jordan, but I love you too. I love both of 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...
