After I Stopped Loving Him novel Chapter 112

That was why Isabella was mad at Ethan.

“Isabella!” Ethan’s face was stormy as he snapped, “Can’t you just talk to me like a normal person? I’m sick. I have a fever. I feel like crap. Not only are you not cutting me any slack, you can’t even talk to me nicely? Are you trying to stress me to death? You weren’t like this before. Whenever I felt sick, you’d be all over me, worrying.”

Ethan suddenly found himself missing the old Isabella, the one who had eyes only for him. Now, she was a mystery. Sometimes she acted like she didn’t care, but then she’d show little hints of concern. When he got sick, though, it was like she went out of her way to push his buttons.

Yes, he’d hurt her. He could admit that. He’d even tried to make it up to her financially, wasn’t that enough?

“That’s right,” Isabella shot back, “that was before. Back then, I thought you actually loved me. Relationships are supposed to go both ways. If you cared about me, of course I’d care about you. But you didn’t. You just used me, treated me like a pawn, dragged me into your mess with Natalie. After all that, you still want me to bare my soul to you? How pathetic would I have to be to open my heart to a man who just played with me?”

Ethan had nothing to say. He just stared at her, silent and guilty, for a long moment. Finally, his expression softened.

“Isabella, let’s stop fighting. Yesterday was my fault. I shouldn’t have said what I did. I definitely shouldn’t have kicked you out. I’m sorry. Can we just make up?”

He hated this new version of their relationship. He was used to her loving him with her whole heart.
