After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 439

"Yes, ma'am."

A couple of bodyguards came over, one of them leaning into the car to gently help Ethan out, while another stepped up to assist. Ethan was completely out, so deep in sleep that he didn’t even stir as they lifted him from the car and carried him inside.

Susan hurried over, looking worried. "What happened to Ethan?"

"He's just asleep, Susan. It's nothing serious, you don't have to worry," Mike answered, noticing her concern.

She blinked in surprise when she saw him. "Mike, what are you doing here?"

"Stephanie asked me to come over and help Ethan and Isabella with a few things. We're almost done, so I'll head back this afternoon." Mike lowered his voice as he watched Isabella walk into the house. "Isabella's wedding gifts were left at the Lane family home. Ethan took us over there today and got them back from Natalie."

Susan’s eyes went wide. "Seriously?"

"I was right there, and I brought the bodyguards for backup. The gifts are still in the car. Why would I lie to you?"

Susan glanced around and whispered, "Natalie must be furious. What about her and Ethan?"

Mike shook his head. "Whatever they had is over. Isabella’s already moved in. Natalie might be the lady of the Lane family, but she’s not the lady of the Adams family. Those gifts were for Isabella. Natalie had no right to keep them."

He looked at Susan. "You need to show Isabella a little more respect from now on. Don’t underestimate her. For Ethan to do this, it means Natalie is really in the past."

Mike just nodded and headed in, with Susan following.

The bodyguards had already carried Ethan upstairs and settled him into his room so he could finally get some real sleep.

Isabella hadn’t gone up with them. She sat down on the sofa, waiting until the bodyguards came back down. When they did, she asked, "Did you turn on the air conditioning? It’s getting hot, and he can’t stand the heat."

"We did, ma’am. We also took off his suit jacket and covered him with a light blanket."

Isabella nodded, satisfied.
