After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 871
“I’ll head over to my dad’s company later and tell him everything. I’ll ask him to talk to Jordan for me.” Natalie’s voice was calm, but you could feel the determination behind it. When it came down to it, her family was the only one who would really stand up for her.
The Adams brothers jumped in right away, totally backing her up. Of course her dad had to step in. How could he just watch his daughter get treated unfairly and do nothing?
Natalie left, still looking disappointed. She was so out of it that she forgot her food container on the table. Ethan noticed and quickly got his secretary to chase after her with it, making sure she got it back before she left the building.
Once everything settled down, Ethan let out a long, heavy sigh and turned to Jeremy. “That was honestly terrifying. Natalie was acting like a completely different person, saying and doing the craziest things.”
He paused, shaking his head. “Seriously, how was I ever that obsessed with her?”
Jeremy didn’t sugarcoat it. “You were just blind, Ethan. The older she got, the more different she became from us. But you were so in love, none of us could ever say anything bad about her to you.”
Ethan went quiet for a moment, then asked carefully, “Was I really that awful?”
Jeremy looked at him. “If you hadn’t tricked Isabella into that marriage, if you hadn’t hurt her, everyone would’ve just thought you were loyal, hopelessly in love with Natalie even after she married someone else. Honestly, people might have respected that. But you did hurt Isabella, and that made you the bad guy.”
He went on, “Why did you even marry Isabella in the first place? Just so you could see Natalie whenever she visited her family? You do know Isabella and Natalie were never close, right?”
“Once Isabella turned eighteen, she moved out and got her own place. If her mom didn’t still live with the Lanes, she probably wouldn’t have gone back at all. And you still used her to get close to Natalie.”
Ethan let out another sigh. “I guess I just wasn’t thinking straight. I was so in love with Natalie, and when Jordan told me to stay away from her, I couldn’t handle it. That’s when I came up with that stupid plan, and in the end, I hurt Isabella and it didn’t even work out for me.”
“I’ll write up a will. Half my stuff can go to that kid, and I’ll leave the other half to Isabella. Whether she wants it or not, it’s hers. I owe her that much.”
He’d had that weird dream. He’d seen so much, and when he finally woke up, he realized everything. But it was already too late. Isabella was done with him, for good.
Jeremy tried to comfort him. “Ethan, seriously, don’t be so negative. There are so many amazing women out there. You really don’t have to get hung up on just one.”
Ethan just looked at him and said quietly, “No matter how many there are, none of them are her.”
That one sentence left Jeremy completely speechless.

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...
