So, Adelina had let her daughter play the two-faced game. She wasn't the only one; in the business world, putting on a front was just part of the hustle.
But Adelina never imagined her daughter would cross the line into such reckless stupidity, bringing ruin upon herself.
"Natalie, get some sleep. Once your head is clear, think hard about your next move. I'm going to bed."
Fearing she might actually have a stroke if she stayed, Adelina stood up and left without waiting for a response.
Natalie knew her mother blamed her. But how was she wrong?
It was obviously Isabella's fault.
Everything was Isabella's fault.
Adelina returned to her bedroom to find her husband, Francis, sleeping soundly. She sat on the edge of the bed and shoved his shoulder.
"What is it?" Francis muttered, rolling over to face her with a bewildered expression. "I finally fell asleep, and you wake me up."
"I have a long day at the office tomorrow."
Unlike his wife, who lived comfortably at home and no longer bothered with the company's daily grind.
"You're sleeping like a rock while your precious daughter just ruined her life!"
Francis sat up. "So she had a fight with Jordan. He cheated, but they both agreed not to divorce. He promised not to do it again, though it obviously left a scar."
"It's normal for them to bicker. Natalie is pregnant, so her hormones are raging. I'll go talk to Jordan tomorrow and tell him to be more patient."

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...
