After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 159
After hearing Natalie lay it all out, Jordan started to question Isabella too.
“Have someone look into her, thoroughly,” Natalie said. “If this really is some scheme, if she’s an imposter, we’ll gather the evidence, call her out, and send her straight to jail. If someone’s been plotting this for years, the real Isabella is probably long gone.”
Jordan would have investigated even if Natalie hadn’t brought it up. There was no way he’d let a fake Isabella mess with the Lane family, or the Adams family either.
“We should let Ethan know what’s going on,” Natalie added. “He’s her husband now. It’ll be way easier for him to dig up proof than it would be for us.”
Jordan nodded.
“Ethan hates being played more than anything,” Natalie went on, her voice icier now. “Once he finds out Isabella’s been scheming, trying to get his money, she’s done for. She won’t have anywhere left to hide.”
“I’ll call Ethan and fill him in,” Jordan said, his tone serious.
“Give it an hour,” Natalie suggested. “By then, they’ll be home. They’ll have had their argument, and Ethan will still be pissed off. If you tell him while he’s angry, it’ll only make him resent her more.”
Now that Ethan was married, Jordan was starting to think maybe he really was letting go, especially with how he acted around Isabella. Still, Ethan hadn’t fully moved on. He’d always lean toward Natalie’s side. The day Ethan stopped taking her side would be the day he was truly over her.
Jordan’s feelings about it all were complicated. He didn’t want Ethan in love with his wife, but he didn’t exactly want him to move on either. So much of the business between their families happened because Ethan cared about Natalie. Because he loved her, he kept working with the Lane Group, making sure they made money, making sure Natalie lived well.
If Ethan ever really fell for Isabella, the partnership between the Adams and Lane families would dry up fast. Isabella was never going to look out for the Lanes. But watching Ethan and Isabella get close bugged Jordan too. Sometimes, he just wanted to blow up whatever they had.

The readers' comments on the novel: After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan)
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...
