“Natalie, which Mr. Adams are you here to see?” The receptionist greeted her with a bright, practiced smile.
“Lawrence. Is he in today?” Natalie leaned forward, her tone casual but certain. “Ethan’s out on business, I know that, so of course I’m not here for him.”
If Ethan were really at the office, she wouldn’t waste another second with the receptionist. She’d just call him directly, no patience required.
“I’ll need to check if Mr. Adams is available. Please wait a moment.” The receptionist reached for the phone, her hands moving efficiently.
Natalie offered a polite thank you, watching as the receptionist eyed her a little more carefully, maybe surprised she was being so agreeable today. Then again, Lawrence wasn’t the kind to spoil her like Ethan did, so Natalie knew better than to throw a fit.
The receptionist spoke quietly into the phone, then nodded and set the receiver down. She left the front desk, walked up to Natalie, and smiled again, the sort of smile that said she had good news. “Natalie, please come with me. Mr. Adams said you can go up.”
They walked together to the executive elevator. The receptionist pressed the button and swiped her access card. As the elevator doors opened, she stepped back, letting Natalie ride up to the top floor on her own.
A few minutes later, Natalie stepped into Ethan’s office and found Lawrence waiting for her. He rose when she entered, polite as always. “Natalie, is something wrong?”
“Ethan was in a car accident? How bad is it? Which hospital is he in? Tell me, I need to see him.” Natalie didn’t bother with small talk. She just needed the answers.
Lawrence fell quiet for a moment, considering. “I’ll have to ask Ethan first. He just made it through the worst, but he’s still really weak. He might not be up for visitors yet.”

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...
