After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 546
Natalie rushed upstairs, her clothes a mess, cheeks burning with embarrassment. There was no way she could face Jackson like this.
While she was changing, Deborah wasted no time. She played the victim, twisting the story to make herself look innocent.
Jackson, already irritated, snapped at the housekeeper before sending her out. He was annoyed with Natalie, but he wasn’t about to make a big deal of it. As long as she respected him, he didn’t care what happened in the house. Since Natalie was in charge, the staff answered to her.
But now, seeing the servants all taking Natalie’s side against Deborah, Jackson’s annoyance was about to boil over.
“Jackson, look at me! Do you see what she did? My face is almost scratched up, and my clothes are ruined. I want new clothes. No, Natalie should buy them for me,” Deborah complained, her voice shrill.
Jackson glanced at her. Sure, she looked like a mess, but she wasn’t hurt. When he walked in, Deborah had clearly been winning that fight.
“How many times do I have to tell you, don’t move in until we’re married? Stop fighting with Natalie,” Jackson said, tapping her forehead and letting out a sigh. “I promised you, once Cynthia and I get the divorce papers, we’ll get married. You and Kevin will have a proper home.”
“But until then, you need to stop provoking Natalie. She’s my daughter-in-law. You’ll be her elder, so act like it.”
Deborah pouted, her lips trembling. “It’s not like I want to fight with her. She’s the one who can’t stand me. I’m not even her husband’s mistress, so why does she hate me so much?”
“She hates you because she can’t hate me to my face. That’s all it is,” Jackson replied quietly.
He still felt guilty about how things had gone for Kevin.
Deborah grinned, teasing him. “If we start now, by the time I’m pregnant, we’ll already be married.”
“You and Cynthia will get your divorce soon. Jackson, can’t I stay the night? Just this once?”
Jackson shook his head. “No. Kevin’s at home alone. I don’t feel right about that. Go back and take care of him. When I have the divorce papers, you can move in.”
He looked at her, his tone warning but gentle. “And for now, just behave. Stop coming here to stir things up with Natalie. If you really push her too far and she fights back, don’t come crying to me.”

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...
