After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 374
“I don’t want your secretary coming down for me. Either you come get me yourself or let me up. Jackson, I gave you a son. Are you really still going to keep me hidden away?”
Deborah’s words were sharper than usual, her confidence boosted after talking to Cynthia. If Cynthia was ready to let go and make space for her, why was Jackson still acting like she was his dirty little secret?
It wasn’t like he didn’t care about her anymore. He’d been at her place almost every single night lately. The neighbors were used to seeing them together, always assuming they were a picture-perfect family. Jackson might be the boss of The Lane Group, but in this gated community, nobody recognized him. All they knew was he was some company owner, and everyone just took it for granted that Deborah was his wife. The fact that he was rarely around didn’t surprise anyone. Successful men were always busy. Out in public, Deborah loved calling him her husband, and Kevin always called him “Dad.” For everyone else, they were just another happy family.
Jackson let out a long sigh. “Fine. I’ll let you in. I’m going to hang up now and call security so they’ll let you through.”
He ended the call and immediately dialed the security desk, telling them to let Deborah in.
After he hung up, Jackson paused, lost in thought for a moment. Then he picked up the phone again and made another call. His voice was low and steady. “I need you to look into Deborah and everyone in her family, the Dales. Dig deep.”
Seeing his son, Jackson quickly grabbed his water glass, pretending he was just getting himself a drink.
“Dad.” Jordan stood there, holding a stack of documents.
“What is it?”

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