“Harold and I are together, fair and square. We’re both single, there’s nothing shady about it. Us dating isn’t a crime.”
“Last night, all I did was see a movie with Harold, stroll around, hold his hand. That’s it. But somehow, people talk like I’m some kind of villain. Of course there’s someone working behind the scenes.”
“And as for my relatives pulling this kind of stunt, I saw it coming. I went back home three days ago just to deal with it.”
Isabella’s calm was contagious. Laura could feel herself relaxing.
“You’re right. Getting mad just clouds your judgment and gives them exactly what they want. Let’s keep the receipts, take them to court for defamation, and have our lawyers handle it.”
“But when I see those comments, I honestly want to reach through the screen and shake some sense into them.”
“It’s just disgusting.”
Isabella just shrugged. “People will do anything for money. Look at everything I’ve been through. How many times have I been insulted or dragged online? I’m honestly numb to it now.”
No matter what she did or how hard she tried, there would always be people out there waiting to tear her down.
She had stopped living for anyone else’s approval a long time ago. Let them talk. She was still living her life.
Most of their hate was just jealousy.
They hated that she was lucky, that even after her divorce, someone as incredible as Harold was still chasing her and wouldn’t give up.
Even Ethan wanted her back after the divorce, finally letting go of Natalie.
Aside from her true friends and family, how many women weren’t jealous of her?
If every nasty comment got to her, she’d have lost her mind a thousand times by now.
“Isabella…” Laura’s voice was soft, full of worry.
“I’m okay. Even if the world falls apart, I can handle it. These rumors can’t touch me.”

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...
