After I Stopped Loving Him novel Chapter 537

“The day I woke up from my coma, you promised we’d get divorced as soon as I left the hospital.”

Isabella reached out, her fingers brushing gently over his face. There was a time she’d wanted nothing more than to kiss him, to really be his wife. That was a long time ago. Now, all those feelings were gone. She felt absolutely nothing.

“Ethan, I hope you keep your word. Your face doesn’t do anything for me anymore.”

If she was honest, money was a lot more appealing.

Ethan’s face drained of color.

Hearing Isabella say she didn’t love him, didn’t want him, hit him like a knife straight to the chest. The pain was sharp and overwhelming, spreading through every part of him.

That was when he realized he was really about to lose her. The wife he’d treated like a pawn was walking away. She didn’t love him, she didn’t care, and she wasn’t looking back.

“Isabella,” Ethan said, struggling to get the words out. “After we’re divorced, can I… try to win you back?”

Isabella pulled her hand away and sat down again, her smile sweet and calm. “Sure, if you want. That’s your business, not mine.”

He could chase her all he wanted.

She just wasn’t ever going to say yes.

“But I have the right to say no.”

Ethan went even paler. He could feel his hands and feet going cold.

She was telling him he could try, but she didn’t have to accept him. After the divorce, she wouldn’t look back. That was it. If they divorced, he lost her for good. If they didn’t, he lost her all the same. Her heart was already gone. She didn’t love him, so she wasn’t going to care anymore. No matter what he did, she wouldn’t see him.

He used to worry she’d never get over him, that she’d always love him, always want him to return her feelings.

Ethan, you really brought this on yourself. If you didn’t want the ending, you shouldn’t have started the story.
