"So you just smash things because I told you to? You clearly have a massive grudge against Isabella yourselves. You hate her for not handing over her money and bowing to your demands. If murder wasn't a crime, you would have torn her to pieces ages ago!"
Natalie sneered, crossing her arms. "Don't try to pin your own crimes on me. You claim I paid you to vandalize the cafe, but do you have any actual proof?"
She had paid them in cold, hard cash.
None of them had taken photos, and her name certainly wasn't stamped on the bills. How could they possibly prove a thing?
The George family immediately fell silent, completely stumped.
"Officers, I admit I stood by and fanned the flames. Isabella is my absolute worst enemy. She's done so many things to ruin my life, but she's sly. She always dances right on the edge of the law without actually committing a crime."
"But the damage she's done to me is real, and I despise her for it. So what if I threw a few encouraging words around when someone else came to trash my enemy's shop? If you were in my shoes, wouldn't you do the same? Wouldn't you gloat a little?"
"I didn't break a single thing in this store. Don't even think about making me pay for the damages."
Natalie casually rested a hand over her lower abdomen and pulled out her medical records. "I'm pregnant."
She was expecting a child.
Even if this entire situation had crossed the line into a criminal offense, the police couldn't just throw a pregnant woman into a jail cell on a whim.
At that moment, Natalie felt completely untouchable.
When Natalie announced her pregnancy, Isabella let out a quiet sigh in her mind. Right. She had forgotten that Natalie was pregnant. It looked like the law wasn't going to touch her this time either.
"Natalie!"
Adelina and Fitzgerald hurried through the cafe doors. Someone must have tipped them off.

The readers' comments on the novel: After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan)
I will be devastated if Isabella and Ethan will get back together. Please, writer, Isabella deserves Harold....
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...
