“It was Jennifer,” Cynthia said.
Natalie glanced up, her tone sharp. “Why’d Jennifer come by? Is this about Isabella starting that business?” She didn’t wait for an answer. “Cynthia, you really need to talk some sense into Isabella. What’s the point of her going out and working? She should just stay home, be a good wife and mom. Ethan gives her everything. She gets a huge allowance every month. There’s no way she’ll make that much on her own.”
Natalie rolled her eyes. “Some people just don’t know how to enjoy a good life, even if it’s handed to them.”
Cynthia frowned, her voice calm but firm. “Isabella’s just trying to stand on her own two feet. Why do you have to call her names? She’s not hurting anyone.”
Natalie’s expression turned sour. “So now I can’t say anything about her? Why are you getting all worked up? Who do you think you’re glaring at?”
“I’m not raising my voice,” Cynthia said, her voice quieter.
“Just go. I don’t want to see you. Come back when I’m done eating,” Natalie shot back, cold and dismissive.
Cynthia looked at her for a moment, then turned and headed upstairs. A few minutes later, she came back down, grabbed her purse and car keys, and left.
Natalie didn’t even glance her way as the door shut. Under her breath, she muttered, “Mother and daughter, both the same. No class. Even if luck falls in their lap, they still wouldn’t know how to enjoy it.”
Natalie stared at the screen for a second, then called him. When he picked up, she said, “Jordan, are you sure you want me to take it over? If I go see Ethan, don’t get jealous and start accusing me of something.”
“Babe, I trust you. I trust Ethan too. Neither of you would ever betray me. If I get jealous, it’s just because I love you so much.”
Natalie let out a soft laugh. “Alright, if you’re sure, I’ll take it over. If I give it to Ethan myself, he won’t back out. He’ll definitely do the test.”
She paused, then changed her mind. “Wait. Let’s keep this hair. We’ll do our own test with Isabella’s sample. I’ll just pull out a handful of my own hair to give Ethan. The test results he gets will be for him and Isabella.”

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...
