“Those are your pre-marital assets. If you wanted to share any of it with me, I wouldn’t say no. But if you don’t, I’m not going to ask,” she said, her voice steady and even. “These last few months of being married to you, I’ve gotten plenty. I used your name to bring in investors, closed a few deals, and honestly, I’ve done well enough for myself.”
As long as he didn’t demand that ten million back, she’d be all right. If he did, she could sell everything she owned and just about scrape the money together. The gifts from the Adams family elders and her allowance as Mrs. Adams were hers, and she had no plans to give those up. They were worth quite a bit on their own.
“What I gave you is yours. I’m not taking it back,” Ethan said quietly. “That goes for your wedding gifts too. You don’t need to return a thing. I know I hurt you, and I’m sorry. Think of the wedding gifts as my way of making it up to you.”
He could see she’d already made up her mind about the divorce, no matter what he did. There was an emptiness in his chest, but he decided to let her keep everything. The wedding gifts alone were worth over a hundred million, more than enough for her to keep her business moving.
Frank had mentioned that the short-form drama scene Isabella was investing in had huge potential. The returns could come fast, and production was a breeze. A whole series could be filmed in just a week. Editing took a bit longer, but compared to traditional shows, these bite-sized dramas had a real edge. The fast pace, the constant twists, all of it kept viewers glued to the screen. Frank was so sure about it that he’d already set up a new department just to get in on the action. It looked like Isabella’s career was about to take off. If she was lucky and landed a hit or two, she’d be set for life.
Money was never a problem for Ethan.
“When Natalie gives back the other half of the gifts, I’ll have Mike sort through everything and send it all to your place.” He reached out and gently touched her face, his eyes softening, full of guilt and regret. “Isabella, even after the divorce, if you ever need help, come find me. No matter what, I’ll be there for you.”

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...
