After I Stopped Loving Him novel Chapter 199

Susan didn’t even have to think before she said, “Honestly, with the way Isabella’s been lately, I doubt she’ll go out of her way to bring you soup. I get the feeling she cares less and less about you these days.”

She continued, “When Sophia brought her friends over, Isabella didn’t even look jealous. A woman gets jealous when she’s in love. No jealousy at all… Maybe that means she doesn’t love you anymore.”

Ethan hated hearing this. “It’s not that she’s stopped loving me,” he said quickly. “I just messed up recently and hurt her feelings. She’s giving me the cold shoulder right now, but once I apologize and make it up to her, things will be fine.”

Susan rolled her eyes in her mind. Sure, fine, until Natalie and Isabella fight again and Ethan hurts Isabella all over. It was like he didn’t see the cycle repeating, over and over, until Isabella’s heart couldn’t take it anymore.

She’d worked for the Adams family for years now and Ethan trusted her completely. She knew better than anyone that the person Ethan really cared about was Natalie.

But Natalie was married, and so was Ethan. If he was going to stay with Isabella, he needed to focus on her, not on someone else’s wife.

Still, Ethan kept making the same mistake, always because of Natalie, always hurting Isabella in the process.

“That’s all I have to say.”

Ethan didn’t want to drag out the conversation any longer, so he hung up.

Right after he set down his phone, someone knocked at the door. He straightened up and called out, “Come in.”

The door opened, and Jordan walked in.

Jordan was so familiar with Ethan’s office that he didn’t even need to wait for the secretary’s permission. He just came and went as he pleased.

“Busy, Ethan?” Jordan asked as he strolled in and dropped into the chair across from the desk.
