“It really has been a while, Linda. You look even more gorgeous than before. Every time I see you, you just light up the room.”
Linda’s confidence and sharp wit had always been exactly his style.
“Thanks for the flattery. Mr. Main, I’m surprised to see you in Cabinda without your usual arm candy.”
Even though they lived in different cities, their business worlds often crossed paths. Linda had heard plenty about Dylan’s reputation, and she’d seen it for herself. Whenever he came to town for a deal, he was always surrounded by beautiful young women, never with the same girlfriend twice. Every one of them was stunning, slim, and barely into her twenties.
Douglas used to joke behind Dylan’s back that he was just an old guy chasing after fresh young things, and he’d warned Linda more than once not to get swept up by Dylan’s good looks. Linda always laughed it off, insisting she’d never marry a womanizer like Dylan Main. Her man had to be hers, and hers alone. If another woman had touched him, she wanted nothing to do with him. She thought Dylan was dirty, considering how many women he’d been with. No way she could ever like someone like that.
On the other hand, Ethan’s sister seemed to have fallen for Dylan the moment she saw him. The upper-class social scene was so small that no secret ever stayed hidden for long.
Dylan grinned. “Linda, I’m single now. Do you know any nice girls you could introduce me to?”
Linda didn’t hesitate. “All the women I know are good girls, Dylan. You should leave them alone. Go find someone who only cares about your money and your connections.”
“My family keeps pushing me to settle down. I keep saying I’m not ready, but the nagging never stops. Maybe I’ll have to give in eventually.”
She wasn’t even sure if Dylan had been at her wedding, but the whole thing had made headlines. Photos of her and Ethan being “madly in love” were all over the newspapers and trending on social media. Even if he hadn’t attended, he would have seen her in the news.
“Oh, right, Ethan. You’re Isabella,” Dylan said, finally remembering.
No wonder she looked familiar. She was Ethan’s wife. But hadn’t Ethan been married for a month already? How did Mrs. Adams still look so fresh and innocent, like a girl just out of school instead of a newlywed?
Dylan had a keen eye for these things. He’d noticed it the second the three women walked over.

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...
