“Ethan, I know you’re heartbroken, and I know you blame yourself for Isabella’s death,” Natalie said, her voice trembling. “You think it happened because you divorced her, but really, I had nothing to do with any of it. Honestly, I’m the kind of person who feels bad even if I step on an ant by accident.”
“How could I ever hurt anyone?”
Ethan just stared at her, his eyes cold and unreadable.
It was obvious he didn’t believe her.
His voice came out low and steady. “Natalie, the reason I’m here, the reason I’m asking you about all this, is because I have enough evidence to prove you killed Isabella and her mother.”
“Natalie, I just want to know why. Why did you do it?”
“Because Isabella always argued with you? Because she pushed you down the stairs and you lost your baby? Was that really enough to make you want her dead? And even that wasn’t enough—you had to go after her mom too.”
“Wasn’t her mother good to you?”
“Ethan... you really don’t believe me?” Natalie’s eyes filled with tears, her whole face crumpling.
“I swear, I didn’t do it. I really didn’t, you—”
“Natalie!” Ethan’s voice snapped through the room, cutting her off. “Before I even came here, I already gave the evidence to my grandmother. She’s calling the police. Whether you admit it now or not doesn’t matter anymore. The police are probably on their way as we speak.”
Natalie’s face turned white. The shock nearly knocked the air from her lungs.
Ethan had given everything to Stephanie.
Stephanie had never liked her. Of course she’d call the cops.
“Ethan...” her voice cracked as she got up suddenly, rushing over to Ethan and grabbing at his arm. Tears streamed down her cheeks. “How could you do this to me? You really don’t trust me at all? How could you think I’d... I only did it because of you.”
“I care about you, Ethan, too much. I couldn’t bear the thought of losing you. Please, don’t lie to me anymore, I can see it. You like Isabella. Even after your divorce, your heart is still hers.”
“I knew you’d want to get back together with her, that you’d want to remarry her. We have decades behind us. I can’t stand the thought of you loving Isabella. I can’t let her take the love that’s supposed to be mine.”

The readers' comments on the novel: After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan)
Author, please get your characters names right. You always messing them up!...
I wish Harold will win Isabella's heart. I was so sad when Isabela was taken for granted coldly and cruelly by her supposed to be husband, and trapped,mocked and humiliated non stop by Natalie. This was so cruel, both don't deserve Isabela' forgiveness I wish for a happy ending between Isabela and Harold, he has the right to be happy after the long wait....
Frankly, the story initially was going quite good and the pacing was just right. unfortunately after Ethan got the dream of his past life, the story has been going in circles. Ethan's spouting the same nonsense every time he sees Isabella, they both have same conversations over and over. The authors monologue too has been the same for almost 400 chapters. Irrespective of which character the writing the just a repetition of what someone had gone through in the past and what made a certain character feel the emotions. York got introduced in 800 chapters yet nothing significant happened till date. Isabella is soft with Harold and kind of disgusted with Ethan, yet it is not entirely clear with whom she might end up. If she stays single i am fine with it but the story is clearly about Isabella and Ethan so almost 1000 chapters without seeing any progress in their relationship is frustrating. Except for being blindly in love and few aggressive instances with Isabella, Ethan actually isnt a bad person so i am fine if he can win her back. Even though Harold is coming off as a good second lead, i am somehow unable to warm upto him. Even the bad people in the story are not really facing any real consequences. I hate Jackson for his hypocrisy. I hate Jordan and Natalie for their self-righteouness and selfishness. I also hate Deborah, except when she is handing it out to Natalie. I am almost on the verge of dropping this story....
Why are they acting like kids 🤣😭...
Ethan is actually not that bad if we take out his blind love for Natalie...
