After I Stopped Loving Him novel Chapter 579

Ethan slid Isabella’s phone out of his pocket. He hesitated, clearly not wanting to let it go, but after a moment, he handed it back to her.

Isabella took her phone and set her chopsticks down. She glanced out the window. Rain was still pouring.

“Thinking about heading out?” Ethan asked, watching her.

She shot him a look. “Why aren’t you at work? It’s Friday.”

“I talked to Grandma. I’ll only be in the office now and then this month. Jeremy’s covering for me for a while.” He paused, searching her face. “I want to spend more time with you.”

He was determined. If he could get Isabella to change her mind about the divorce within a month, that would be perfect. If not, he’d hand the CEO job to Jeremy and finally have the time he needed to win her back. Isabella was the only woman he had ever married, and he wasn’t letting go.

Isabella didn’t say anything. She stood and left the dining room, heading straight upstairs without stopping. Ethan followed her up.

She walked into her room. He followed. She tried to close the door, but he blocked it with his hand.

“Isabella, I’m sorry. I was terrible earlier. I really mean it.”

She looked him right in the eyes. “Ethan, you can’t keep hurting me and then apologizing like it fixes everything. What’s the point of sorry?”

His voice was soft. “I’ll think things through from now on. I promise.”

She stared at him for a long moment, then let go of the door and started packing her things.

“What are you doing?” Ethan rushed in, trying to stop her. “Are you moving out?”

“I’ll stay with my mom for now. Once the house is in my name and you’ve moved out, I’ll come back.” She brushed his hand away and kept packing.
