Cynthia had nothing left to say to that.
Her daughter was a grown woman, fully capable of holding her own, and she had Harold by her side. As a mother, she truly had nothing to worry about.
"Go on, then. Don't miss your train."
"Mom, we'll head to the station now."
Isabella and Harold left swiftly.
Cynthia only departed after watching them go.
Given the massive scene Natalie had made at her ex-husband's wedding reception, it didn't take a genius to figure out how everyone would view the Lane family now.
But none of that was her problem anymore.
That was Jackson's choice.
Jordan and Natalie needed someone to make their lives miserable anyway, and that someone was Deborah.
Indeed, Natalie's stunt had completely obliterated Deborah's joy, plunging her straight from heaven down to hell.
When she and Jackson toasted the guests, the looks people gave her made her stomach turn. When she tried to make conversation with the elite wives, they completely ignored her, only exchanging polite, superficial pleasantries with Jackson.
After the banquet ended, on the ride home, Deborah's face was as dark as thunder. She complained bitterly to her husband, "Jackson, your son and daughter-in-law did that on purpose! They deliberately chose the day of our wedding to barge in and publicly humiliate me."
"My reputation wasn't perfect, but it wasn't terrible either. Thanks to their little show, my standing is entirely ruined! How am I supposed to face anyone now? People are going to call me a toxic woman and say I can't tolerate the children from your first marriage."
"When the truth is, they're the ones who can't tolerate me! I desperately wanted to coexist peacefully. I wanted to be a good stepmother."

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...
