Isabella glanced at Samantha and said, “I will, Samantha. I know Harold’s a good guy, but it’s only been a month or two since my divorce. And with Ethan constantly showing up, I’m just not ready to think about getting married again.”
Samantha nodded. “Of course we get it. Ethan didn’t marry you out of love, but now that you’re divorced, he suddenly acts like he can’t let you go. He keeps saying he wants you back. It’s so typical. People only realize what they’ve lost after it’s gone. I’m not trying to badmouth Ethan here.”
“Samantha, you’re just telling the truth. I’m not naive anymore. I know exactly what he’s like. I won’t fall for his sweet talk or empty promises again.”
Samantha made a sound of agreement. “As long as he’s still hung up on Natalie, you shouldn’t even consider going back to him. Otherwise, you’re the one who’s going to get hurt.”
“He’s not going to get over her that easily,” Isabella replied.
Samantha hesitated, then asked, “But if he really did move on from Natalie, would you ever take him back?” She remembered how much Isabella used to love Ethan and couldn’t help herself.
Isabella shook her head. “Even if he truly let Natalie go, there’s no way we’d get back together.”
There was too much history between her and Ethan, too much pain. That wound would never heal, not enough for them to be a couple again. The best thing for both of them was just to move on and live their own lives.
Samantha finally relaxed. As long as Isabella wouldn’t go back to Ethan, her own son had a real shot.
She ended up staying in Isabella’s office for almost an hour before finally leaving. If she hadn’t been worried about interrupting Isabella’s work, she probably could have chatted all afternoon. After leaving the company, she didn’t go back home. Instead, she picked up some gifts and headed straight to Isabella’s place, wanting to visit her future in-laws.

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...
