After I Stopped Loving Him novel Chapter 588

“If you’re not leaving, that’s fine, but just stay put and don’t try to take over. We’re separate now, not a couple anymore.”

Ethan’s face fell. He looked at her with that lost puppy expression. “Isabella, we haven’t even got our divorce papers yet. Legally, we’re still married. We’re still... us.”

“You have guests. I was only helping out, so you wouldn’t have to do everything yourself. Isn’t that a good thing?”

“Besides, I was only talking to people we both know. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure Harold feels right at home for you.”

Of all the people who’d come to celebrate, Ethan only seemed worried about Harold. He didn’t care about anyone else trying to steal his wife.

Isabella looked at him, her tone cool. “Ethan, there’s nothing between Harold and me. Just because you can’t stop thinking about your best friend’s wife doesn’t mean every guy is like you. Not everyone’s got a thing for married women.”

“I’ve barely spoken to Harold, let alone spent any time with him. He comes with Barbara, and usually just sits quietly off to the side. But somehow, in your head, we’re having some secret affair. Your mind is really in the gutter.”

Ethan tried to smooth things over. “Alright, alright, it’s my fault. My mind’s in the gutter. You and Harold are innocent. He doesn’t have any feelings for you.”

“Isabella, Harold actually dated someone in college. The girl’s family wasn’t well-off enough, so his parents didn’t approve, and they broke up. His family is just as picky as mine.”

“Don’t let Samantha’s friendly act fool you either. She’s only nice because there’s no drama right now. If she even suspected Harold liked you, she’d turn on you in a second.”

Isabella just glared at him.

Ethan awkwardly smacked his own lips, then muttered, “I’ll stop. I won’t say another word today.”

He’d keep quiet today, but tomorrow, or the day after, he’d find another chance to bring it up.

Isabella turned and walked away, not even bothering to reply. Ethan trailed after her, step for step, refusing to give her any space.
