After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 970
Isabella ended up comforting Laura instead, and only then did they finally hang up.
Laura set her phone aside, wide awake now with no hope of sleep. She got up, hesitated for a moment, then dialed Jesse’s number. The call connected instantly, almost like Jesse had been waiting for her.
“Jesse, sorry for calling so early.”
It really was an early hour, so Laura felt the need to apologize first.
“No worries, I’m always up around now anyway. Is this about Isabella trending online?”
Jesse knew his girlfriend well. He’d seen the drama blowing up, too. In fact, he’d already done what he could to cool things down. He’d also reached out to Harold.
Harold, for his part, was working to suppress the trending topic, and had pulled the company’s PR team into action. They put out a statement explaining that Harold had liked Isabella first, but made it clear he’d kept his distance while she was still married to Ethan. Isabella hadn’t even known about his feelings, so it was definitely not her seducing him. The statement went on to clarify that Harold only started pursuing her after her divorce from Ethan.
He was single, Isabella was single—what was wrong with him chasing after her? What was there to criticize? So what if Isabella was divorced? He liked her for who she was, not for her relationship history or how many times she’d been married. Even if she’d been divorced a few times, his feelings wouldn’t change.
What caught everyone off guard was Ethan’s reaction. Even though he was out of town on business, he’d found out about everything. Ethan put out his own statement, admitting that he’d only married Isabella for his own gain. He explained his reasons, and revealed that during their marriage, they’d always had separate bedrooms. By the time they divorced, they had never actually been together as a couple. So even though Isabella had one divorce behind her, she was still untouched. She wasn’t some used-up woman or an easy target—she was pure and dignified.
People already knew Isabella had been the one to file for divorce, but hardly anyone knew the real reason why. With Ethan stepping forward to clear things up, the truth spread faster than any attempt to hide the scandal. The online crowd, once clueless, suddenly turned against Ethan. The trolls who’d been stirring things up quickly deleted their comments and disappeared.

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...
