Natalie reached over and gave his waist a sharp pinch.
“Jordan, if you say one more thing like that, I’m going to get mad. If I really cared about wedding gifts, I wouldn’t have married you in the first place. Whatever you give me makes me happy, and what you gave was already more than enough. Our family isn’t the Adams family, so why bother comparing?”
Her voice softened as she turned to face him.
“Jordan, I love you. Only you. Ethan is just an old friend, someone I grew up with. There’s never been anything romantic between us. If I did have feelings for him, why would I ever marry you? Isabella’s just trying to stir things up. She wants us to fight because her own marriage is a mess. She can’t stand to see us happy.”
Jordan bent down and pressed a gentle kiss to her forehead.
“Hearing you say that makes me feel better, babe. I just… I always worry that I can’t give you the best.”
She smiled at him.
“You already have. I’m not greedy. All I want is to grow old with you, maybe have a couple of kids. That’s my idea of happiness.” But as soon as she mentioned children, her smile faded. “Our baby…”
Jordan pulled her close, his voice soft and reassuring.
“It’s okay, sweetheart. We’re still young. We can try again. That baby just wasn’t meant to be with us.” The pain of their loss lingered between them. After the miscarriage, the doctor told them Natalie needed time to recover before they tried again. Jordan had started quitting smoking and drinking, getting ready for when the time was right.
Natalie let out a shaky breath.
“And Isabella’s wedding gifts…”
A few minutes later, Ethan and Isabella came upstairs with a couple of bodyguards in tow.
Natalie gestured to the pile of gifts.
“Ethan, Isabella, this is everything we can return for now. The rest—along with the cash—I already invested.”
Ethan took the gift list and handed it to Isabella.
“Here, babe, you check 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...
