“Isabella, you said you needed to talk to me in person. What’s going on?” Ethan dropped the flirty act and got serious.
Isabella didn’t hesitate. “Someone from my dad’s side showed up. My uncle.”
Ethan kept his face blank, just waiting for her to go on.
“The first thing out of his mouth was about money. He said since my dad’s gone, I have to take care of my grandparents now. He asked for two million dollars up front. Then he wanted another six hundred thousand every month for their living expenses.”
Ethan’s voice was icy. “Six hundred thousand a month? For them? Are they kidding?”
Everyone in their social circle knew exactly how the George family had treated Isabella. Even when Ethan first met her, he already knew her grandparents and uncle were just awful people. Now they had the nerve to demand that kind of money from her?
“They absolutely don’t deserve it. I turned him down right away,” Isabella said. “It’s obviously Paul’s idea. Someone must have told them I married into money, so now they’re here with their hands out.”
“They’d never dare go after my mom. But since I’m still my father’s daughter, they think they can squeeze something out of me.”
She looked at Ethan, her voice steady. “I just want you to be ready for this. They won’t stop. If they can’t get money from me, they’ll come looking for you. If that happens, just ignore them. Even if they end up with nothing, that’s on them. I’m never giving them a cent, and you shouldn’t either.”
“Let the security team at the Adams Estate know too. If they see my uncle, just tell them to kick him out.”
She took out her phone and pulled up a photo she’d snapped of Paul earlier. She sent it to Ethan right away.
Ethan caught on immediately. He forwarded the photo to the estate’s head of security and told them to remove Paul the second he showed up.
The Adams Estate was huge. It sat on top of a flat hill, with a guard post at the bottom. No one was getting up that road without permission, let alone setting foot on the property.

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...
