After I Stopped Loving Him novel Chapter 665

“Don’t worry about it. Honestly, I just wanted to see the drama, too. I never liked Jordan and Natalie, but I couldn’t really say much in front of Ethan. He always took their side. He knows exactly what kind of people they are, but he chooses them anyway. In his eyes, Jesse and I could never compare to Jordan and Natalie.”

Isabella took a long sip of water.

“They’ve known each other since they were kids. Almost thirty years together… there’s no way an outsider like me could ever compete with that. The second Natalie’s involved, Ethan just loses it. His sense of right and wrong disappears. He’d do anything for her. Honestly, he would go through hell and back if she asked.” Isabella let out a quiet, self-mocking laugh. “He would even hurt a girl who loved him with everything she had, just for a chance to see Natalie.”

The truth was, she had loved Ethan with her whole heart.

Just then, her phone rang. Ethan’s name flashed across the screen. Isabella wanted to ignore him, but he kept calling, three times in a row, before she finally picked up.

“What do you want?” Her voice was flat, cold.

Ethan was waiting outside her office, feeling a knot of worry at her icy tone. Afraid she would hang up, he rushed to say, “Isabella, are you off work? I’m waiting for you downstairs. Grandma called, she wants us to have dinner with her. She even asked the kitchen to make all your favorite dishes. She told me to make sure you come home tonight.”

Ethan knew Isabella still respected his grandmother. He was hoping that mentioning her would convince Isabella to come back.

“I’m busy. Tell Stephanie I won’t be her granddaughter-in-law for much longer. She doesn’t need to invite me to dinner anymore. Ethan, the waiting period is over next Thursday. I hope you’ll keep your word.”
