After ending the call, Frank lowered his phone and let out a heavy sigh. "She's already moved on with a new romance, and he's still trapped in the past. What a mess."
First, he had barely crawled out of the wreckage with Natalie, only to dive headfirst into the impossible depths of trying to win back Isabella. Frank was convinced Ethan must have owed both women a massive karmic debt in a past life.
Meanwhile, at the Gates Family estate, Adelina was furious. When the butler informed her that her daughter had returned home, her heart ached with worry, but when she rushed out to the courtyard, Natalie was nowhere to be seen.
"Didn't you say she was back?" Adelina demanded, her brows knitting together. "Where is she?"
"She headed straight to the Secondary Gates Estate," the butler replied quickly. "She said she needed to speak with Willa."
Adelina let out a frustrated noise and marched down the steps, making a beeline for her brother-in-law's property. Natalie was supposed to be on strict bed rest. Running around in her weakened condition could cause permanent damage to her health. She needed to give the girl a piece of her mind.
As she approached the secondary estate, she spotted Natalie's car parked out front. The butler from the main house had already texted the staff at the secondary estate to warn them of Adelina's arrival.
"Ma'am," the estate manager greeted her respectfully as she walked through the doors.
"Where is my daughter?"
"She's upstairs in Willa's room. She asked for her the moment she arrived," the manager answered truthfully.

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...
