Deborah scoffed, "This is what happens when a man marries a vicious wife. Your lovely daughter-in-law was so consumed by jealousy over how well Ethan treated Isabella that she ruined their marriage and forced them into a divorce."
"It would have been fine if Ethan still loved your daughter-in-law, but he ended up genuinely falling for Isabella after they got married. The moment the divorce was finalized, he regretted it and started chasing Isabella again. Now that Natalie has lost her special treatment from Ethan, of course the relationship between our two families would ice over."
"Your son is incredibly tolerant, I'll give him that. His wife's heart clearly belongs to another man, and she openly flaunted her affection for that man, yet he managed to stomach it for this long. Honestly, you can't really blame him for keeping a mistress. His wife is simply repulsive."
Jackson harbored his own resentment toward Natalie. If he didn't have to consider their ongoing business partnerships with the Gates family, he wouldn't even bother managing his son. Let Jordan do whatever he wanted—if he wanted a divorce, so be it.
Divorce wasn't the end of the world anyway.
"Let's stop talking about them. When we get home, start packing. We're going on our honeymoon, let's focus on happy things."
"However, while we're away, make sure you warn your family. Tell them not to provoke Jordan and Natalie."
The Dale family relatives hadn't left immediately after the wedding; they planned to stay in Cabinda for a while to sightsee. After all, Jackson was footing the bill for all their food and accommodations.
No matter where they wanted to go, Jackson had arranged drivers to chauffeur them and hired a tour guide to show them around.
Living such a luxurious life, there was no way the Dale relatives were leaving anytime soon. They wouldn't depart for at least a week or two.
Since Jackson and Deborah were taking Kevin on the honeymoon, he was worried the relatives might stir up trouble with Jordan.
Especially Mandy—she was the culprit who caused Natalie's miscarriage. Jackson had barely managed to pacify his eldest son and daughter-in-law, and knowing their personalities, there was no guarantee they would just let Mandy off the hook.
"I know."
Deborah had strictly instructed her relatives on the very night of Natalie's miscarriage. She would gladly cover all their expenses in Cabinda, but on one absolute condition: they were strictly forbidden from going anywhere near the Lane Estate or the Lane Group headquarters.
They were not to cross paths with Jordan and Natalie, lest they trigger a violent retaliation.

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...
