Natalie sniffled, her voice shaky. “A misunderstanding? I walked in and heard her talking. She was right next to you, so close. If there’s really nothing between you, why did you let her get that close?”
“Who even is she?”
Even after all the drama, Natalie still had no idea who the woman was. She just knew the face looked weirdly familiar.
Jordan reached out and gently wiped away her tears. “She just got here. As soon as she walked in, she came right up to me with a thermos of soup. I was worried if I pushed her away, she’d spill it all over me.”
“I was about to tell her to leave when you came in. You didn’t even give me a second to explain before you started swinging.”
“She’s Deborah’s cousin, Mandy. She’s the one we asked people to find, remember?” Jordan’s voice dropped to almost a whisper, almost like he was afraid someone might be listening.
Natalie stopped crying and just stared at him, stunned. “She’s Mandy? But she looks so much like Deborah.”
“Their dads are brothers. I’ve heard they look almost identical,” Jordan said, trying to explain. “Babe, I swear, nothing’s going on between me and Mandy. She moved into Deborah’s house just like we planned. I had no idea she’d show up here with soup today.”
“I was confused too. I wanted to remind her that her target is my dad, but before I could say anything, you walked in.”
Sure, he and Malvina had been a little flirty during that business trip, but he hadn’t crossed any real lines. He was still loyal to his wife.
“But Mandy doesn’t even know we were the ones who found her,” Natalie said quietly.
“She doesn’t know for sure, but she can guess. Who else has it out for Deborah? It’s pretty much just us.”
Natalie went quiet. She knew he was right. Anyone with half a brain would figure it out.

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...
