Jordan looked past her toward the front door of the main house. Sure enough, Cynthia was standing right there, having stepped out to see what the commotion was.
She was too far away to clearly make out who was standing at the gate.
Amelia glanced back over her shoulder, then snapped, "She doesn't want to see you either. Please leave."
"Amelia, just let me in for a minute. I just want to apologize to her face-to-face. I was wrong in the past. I did so many horrible things to her and Isabella. I need to make it right."
Amelia let out a loud, mocking laugh.
"Is the sun rising in the west tomorrow? You're actually admitting you were wrong? You want to apologize?"
"Let me guess, you're holding onto some grand scheme to use her again, aren't you?"
"Oh, I get it. Your dad made his mistress the lady of the house, and she's a piece of work, isn't she? Now you think Cynthia is a soft target and you want to use her to fight the new wife. Well, let me tell you something right now—no way in hell!"
"She divorced your father. Whoever he marries is his own business, and Cynthia couldn't care less."
Even before the divorce, when Cynthia found out about the mistress, she hadn't caused a scene. Now that it had been months since the split, she was living a quiet, peaceful life. Amelia refused to let her get dragged back into the Lane family's toxic drama.
They needed to maintain a strict distance.
When Jackson remarried, he had actually invited Cynthia to the wedding. She hadn't declined. The wedding was in two days, and she planned to attend with her brother's family and Isabella.
Her split with Jackson had been amicable, without screaming matches, and he had given her a massive financial settlement.
Cynthia had joked that she was just going to enjoy a free drink at her ex-husband's wedding, adding that the champagne would probably taste exceptionally sweet.
Meanwhile, Jordan and Natalie were practically suffocating on their own rage. Could they really let that wedding go off without a hitch?
"Amelia, I don't mean anything like that. I genuinely just want to apologize to her."

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...
