After I Stopped Loving Him novel Chapter 814

Ethan aimed the binoculars at the main house, but nothing came into focus. With a frustrated sigh, he set them down and wandered back to his room. He tucked the binoculars away in the drawer, then sat at his desk, staring at nothing for a moment before finally pulling out his phone. He typed out a text to Isabella, wanting to apologize for how he had acted earlier that evening.

There was no reply from her. Maybe she was busy. Maybe she’d already gone to bed. Ethan set his phone down, then picked it up again a second later, checking for a message that wasn’t there. He did this a few more times, the silence of the room growing heavier with each glance.

Finally, his phone rang. His heart leaped, hope surging as he grabbed it, convinced it had to be Isabella. When he looked at the screen and saw Keith’s name, all his excitement vanished.

He let the phone ring for a few more seconds before finally answering. “Keith, what’s up?”

“Ethan, are you alright? I didn’t see you at the party. Someone told me you left early.”

Keith’s voice was full of concern, but Ethan just felt tired. “I’m fine. The person I wanted to see left early, so I left too.”

There was a pause. “Still nothing with Mrs. Adams?”

Ethan just gave a quiet, “Yeah.”

Keith hesitated, then said, “Ethan, maybe it’s time to let go. When Jordan got married, you couldn’t move on from Natalie. And after you and Mrs. Adams split, you still can’t let her go.”

“Mrs. Adams is probably beyond disappointed in you. Why keep doing this to yourself? You barely come into the office anymore.”
