“How am I supposed to win my wife back if I can’t be a little shameless?”
Harold just stared at him, at a loss for words.
“So, are you really leaving on that business trip tomorrow?”
“You think I’d lie to Isabella about something like that?”
Harold gave a small smile. “No, I didn’t mean that. I was just asking.”
“You weren’t just making conversation,” Ethan shot back. “You asked because you wanted to know. I’ll be gone for at least ten days, maybe even two weeks. That’s good news for you, right? No one around to compete with you for Isabella.”
“You don’t have to go, you know. Couldn’t you send Jeremy or Frank? Your brothers are more than capable,” Harold replied, clearly trying to provoke him.
Ethan paused before answering. “No, I’ll go. Maybe if I’m gone for a while, Isabella will finally get some peace. She’s sick of having me around.”
Six months ago, he’d been the man she loved most in the world. Now, he was the one she wanted to avoid at all costs.
Harold turned to look at him. “You really have changed, Ethan.”
“Everyone changes.”
Ethan watched Cynthia and Isabella walk into the main house, their figures disappearing from view. “But every change comes with a price.”
Sometimes you have to take a hit or lose something important before you realize you need to change.

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...
