“I went to the Franklins’ last night and called them out.”
Harold stopped and looked straight at Ethan.
Ethan lifted an eyebrow. “What, am I not allowed to call out the Franklins?”
“It’s not that. You can do whatever you want. I just didn’t expect you to go over there in the middle of the night. Nadine is Natalie’s best friend, and you’ve always been polite with the Franklins.”
Ethan’s voice was low. “I told you, I’m over Natalie, but none of you ever believed me.”
“So what if Nadine’s her best friend? No one gets to mess with Isabella. She’s the only person I truly regret letting down in my life.”
He had never wronged anyone else. The only person he’d ever failed was Isabella.
“From now on, don’t talk about how good I was to Natalie in front of Isabella. The only thing I care about is getting her back. I’m not interested in anyone else, not even Natalie.”
After everything that happened over these past six months, Ethan couldn’t even understand himself anymore. How had he spent so many years obsessed with Natalie? How could he have hurt Isabella, the woman who once gave him her whole heart, all for someone else?
Harold shook his head. “Even if I never say a word, do you really think Isabella doesn’t know how much you cared for Natalie? She grew up in the Lane family. She saw everything with her own eyes.”
Ethan had nothing to say to that.
“I have to admit, I’m surprised you’re standing up for Isabella now. If you’d done this a few months ago, maybe things wouldn’t have gone so wrong.”
Harold gave a small smile. “Honestly, I should thank you. If not for all this, I wouldn’t have realized that the reason I’ve been single all these years was because I was waiting for Isabella.”
He walked into the main house, leaving Ethan standing there.
Ethan’s face darkened for a moment, but when he finally stepped inside, his expression was completely calm, like nothing had happened.
Susan hadn’t made it back to Ethan’s side yet. She spotted him coming in and let out a breath she didn’t realize she was holding.

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...
