After taking a deep breath and calming herself, Isabella finally picked up her phone to check the time.
It was just past six in the morning. Usually, she wouldn’t even be awake for another half hour.
She was up early today.
Since she was already awake, there was no point in trying to go back to sleep. She washed up, slipped into her workout clothes, and headed out for a morning run.
The neighborhood was so quiet at this hour. Every now and then, Isabella passed by one or two other early risers jogging along the empty streets. Nobody really knew each other, so she didn’t say hello. If anything, they just glanced her way for a moment before moving on.
Her phone started ringing.
It was Laura.
“Hey Laura, morning,” Isabella said, slowing down to a walk so she could talk more easily.
“Isabella, you have to check the trending topics right now, like, right this second. You’re all over them. Your relatives from back home posted everything about you turning them away, refusing to help your grandparents, not paying for your grandma’s treatment. I have no idea who helped them, but somehow it’s all over the city’s hot search.”
“And that’s not even the worst part. Weren’t you with Harold last night? Someone snapped photos of you two holding hands and looking super close. That’s trending too, and the comments are just brutal. I’m pretty sure there are tons of trolls—they’re all just tearing you up.”
“They’re calling you all sorts of names, saying you were flirting with Harold before you even divorced Ethan. They claim you already had your next guy lined up, and that’s why you rushed the divorce. Some people say you use your looks to seduce every man you meet, that you’ve got a string of guys falling at your feet. There’s even talk that the male leads our company made famous only got their shot because they slept with you.”

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...
