After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 963
The house my grandparents live in is really old. All around it, there are shiny new high-rises and fancy restaurants, but ours still looks just like it did when my parents first decorated it more than twenty years ago.
It’s so outdated, but they never had the money to fix it up. In a way, maybe that’s a blessing. If they’d ever managed to save enough to tear it down and rebuild, fighting over it in court would have been a nightmare. But with things as they are, Cynthia and I basically have the upper hand.
“When my dad died, my mom wanted to stay in that house forever—to keep his memory alive and raise me the best she could. The house and the restaurant were all we had, a place to survive and call our own.”
“My grandparents and uncles though... They were awful. They knew my mom didn’t have her parents anymore, just my uncle, and they picked on her for being alone. They looked down on me, too, just because I’m a girl. What they did was beyond cruel.”
“But now I’m grown. I’m going to get my dad’s property back. No matter how long it takes, no matter how many times I have to go to court, I won’t let them keep any of it.”
If they hadn’t been so heartless, maybe I’d have let it go. My grandparents are old now, and I might’ve waited until they passed before taking the house back. But after what they've done, I’m not waiting. I’m going to reclaim what’s mine while they’re still around. Honestly, the thought of it makes me so mad I could scream.
“I have a friend who owns a law firm,” Harold offered. “The lawyers there are top-notch. Want me to introduce you?”
I nodded. “Thank you.”
He grinned. “There’s no need to thank me. What matters to you matters to me. I’m glad I can help, and even happier that you trust me enough to talk about all this.”
I looked at him, a little uncertain. “I did keep things from you these past few days. That’s kind of the same as lying, isn’t it? Aren’t you angry?”
He shook his head. “Everyone needs their own space, their own secrets. If you want to tell me, you will. If not, that’s your right. I’d never get upset about that.”
“Isabella, I respect every choice you make. Always.”

The readers' comments on the novel: After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan)
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...
