"Jordan." Natalie's father finally spoke after a long silence. "Isabella was the one who gave you those photos. Isabella and Natalie have never gotten along. Is it possible that those pictures..."
"Dad, that's impossible!" Jordan said in a low voice. "Isabella is a law-abiding citizen. She wouldn't stoop to framing someone. Besides, she received those photos anonymously. She has no idea who took them or who sent them."
"She gave them to me because, at the end of the day, we've lived under the same roof for twenty years. Even if our relationship has never been warm, the Lane family put a roof over her head for two decades." If the Lane family hadn't taken in Cynthia and Isabella, Isabella would have been trafficked by her deadbeat relatives when she was just a little girl.
"She just didn't want me kept in the dark, especially since Natalie happens to be pregnant. If the baby isn't mine, I'd be raising another man's child. And even if the baby is mine... with the way things are now, there's no way Natalie and I can ever go back to how we were. Is this pregnancy a blessing or a curse?"
"Plus, I saw Natalie's reaction when she looked at those photos. Her words alone confirmed they were real."
Natalie's father sighed. "Isabella just wanted to ruin your marriage. That's why she handed them straight to you. Why didn't she just quietly give them to Natalie?"
Jordan looked at his father-in-law in disbelief. "Dad, if you had compromising photos of your worst enemy, would you hand them over to them? Of course not. You'd give them to their spouse."
"Natalie brought this on herself. She's targeted Isabella from day one, never leaving any room for peace. People say you should always leave a bridge unburned, but Natalie torched every last one when it came to Isabella."
"Isabella isn't a saint. After all the vicious things Natalie has done to her, why should Isabella bend over backward to cover her tracks or keep her secrets? I'm technically Isabella's brother. She simply didn't want to see me played for a fool."
"Giving the photos to me was the right move, both personally and logically."
Natalie's father was left speechless.

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...
