"Deborah, you and your sister caused Jordan and me to lose the baby we prayed so hard for. Now you're making up disgusting excuses, slandering me and claiming the baby wasn't his. You cross the line! This is pure bullying!"
As she spoke, Natalie broke down into aggrieved sobs.
"Enough!"
Jackson's face fell as he glared at his son and daughter-in-law. "Didn't we already handle this? Why are you dragging it out again? It's over."
"Jordan, Natalie, today is my wedding day. As my son and daughter-in-law, if you aren't sincere about giving your blessings, I understand. But you are not going to sabotage my big day."
"Natalie, you are unwell. Go home and rest. You don't need to attend the reception. It's crowded and chaotic, and it wouldn't be good if someone accidentally bumped into you."
Jackson was outright kicking his daughter-in-law out.
Natalie shrieked through her tears, "Dad, she caused my miscarriage! That was your own grandchild! Am I supposed to just swallow the pain because of your wedding? Who pities me? Who pities the child that never even got the chance to be born?"
"Dad, if you don't give me justice today, I won't let this go."
She spun around to face the crowd. "Look at my Wicked Stepmother here! She teamed up with her sister and viciously beat me. I had just gotten pregnant, and they beat me until I lost the baby. And my father-in-law just wants to sweep it under the rug."
"They always say a stepmother turns a man into a stepdad! My poor husband lost his mother when he was young, and his father never had time for him. Cynthia practically raised him. Now his father marries a new wife, has a new son, and his biases are blinding."
"My husband and I tried to conceive for so long, and when we finally did... Look at them! You tell me, is this fair?"
"Natalie!"
Jackson's face was as black as coal.
"What nonsense are you spewing? Deborah didn't do it on purpose. Furthermore, you provoked it! She already apologized, and I gave you compensation. What more do you want?"

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...
