After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 971
Aside from life and death, nothing really rattled Isabella. She could handle almost anything with that cool, steady calm of hers.
Laura, though, nearly lost it reading those online comments. Her hands actually shook, she was so angry.
“It’s about her relatives from back home, right? They tried to drag her through the mud, but now people from her old village are coming forward online to spill the real story. They’re talking about how her grandparents, uncles, and aunts used to bully her and her mom. It’s all coming out.”
Laura remembered Isabella mentioning she’d gone back to her hometown a few days ago. Now she realized it was to deal with this exact mess.
She laughed quietly. “Isabella always thinks ahead. She told everyone she was on a business trip, but really, she went home to get ready for what’s happening today. She knew those awful relatives would pull something like this.”
No wonder Isabella seemed so unbothered. She was ready for this drama long before it exploded online. She’d been waiting for her relatives to try and stir things up.
And of course, the truth came out. People online aren’t idiots, and they’re not going to blindly defend anyone. Once they heard what really happened back then, it was obvious who was in the wrong. Everyone sided with Isabella.
What Laura didn’t know was that as soon as Isabella got home from her morning run, she uploaded the recording she’d made in her office. The whole internet got to hear just how outrageous her relatives’ demands were.
Nobody in their right mind would have agreed to those terms.
“So don’t stress about Isabella,” Jesse said, his voice gentle. “She’s not the same girl she used to be. And you shouldn’t get worked up either. It’s not worth making yourself sick over.”
He paused, then switched topics. “How about I bring over breakfast in a bit? Wait for me at home, and we can eat together.”
Laura protested immediately. “I can make my own breakfast. You don’t have to go out of your way every single day. It’s such a long drive, and it must be exhausting. Plus, I’m always sleeping in. Half the time you show up, I’m still in bed.”
She was getting up earlier these days with the shop to run, but before, she’d stay up late writing with other authors, sometimes until two or three in the morning. She’d sleep through the morning, rarely seeing the sun before noon.

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...
