She walked over to him, forcing a strained smile. "What instructions do you have for me, Mr. Austin? A phone call would have sufficed. Whatever you need, I will do my utmost to get it done."
There was absolutely no reason to drag her all the way here while she was still recovering from her miscarriage.
"Sit."
York still didn't look up from his paper as he offered her a seat.
"You're still weak. Standing for too long isn't good for you."
The unexpected sliver of consideration almost left her feeling flattered.
She was, after all, a wealthy heiress in her own right.
"Thank you."
She cursed him in her head, but outwardly played the part of the gracious guest as she sank into a single armchair.
"Drink?"
"No, thank you. I'm not thirsty."
Having been drugged once before, Natalie wouldn't dare touch anything York handed her. The fear of being manipulated again kept her paralyzed.
"Afraid I spiked it?"
"No, I'm genuinely not thirsty. Mr. Austin, why did you call me here?"
Natalie watched him intently as she asked.
The man was blatantly disrespecting her, having kept his eyes glued to his newspaper since she walked in.
"Ethan had a massive accident. He nearly died. I assume you haven't heard?"
"What! Ethan was in an accident? I thought he was on a business trip! I had no idea. I asked Isabella, but she didn't tell me anything, and the Adams Group kept their mouths shut. I thought he was just out of town."

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...
