After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 740
Before Natalie married into the Lane family, Cynthia was the one who handled everything at home. But Cynthia was timid. Any time there was money to be spent, she would check with Jackson first. So really, Jackson was the one in charge.
The moment Natalie became part of the family, she took over running the house. She replaced every servant Cynthia had trusted with her own people, and now everyone at the Lane estate answered to her.
Jackson didn’t mind. He just noticed that expenses went up a little, but the family had plenty of money, so he never complained.
Now, the day Deborah got her marriage certificate, she wanted to take over the household too. To Natalie, it felt like someone was stealing her food right off her plate. Of course she was furious.
“Dad!”
Jordan spoke up before Natalie could say anything. He frowned. “Didn’t you say you were going to wait before getting married again? You and Cynthia barely just divorced, and now this is your third marriage.”
“I’ve been with Deborah for over ten years. Kevin is almost eleven. He’s had to grow up with everyone calling him illegitimate for a decade. Now that I’m single, I want to give Deborah the status she deserves. Why shouldn’t I? This is my life. I’ll get married when I want. I don’t need your approval.”
“Jordan, I know you’re upset, but this is my business. Deborah and I are married now. She’s my wife, your stepmom. We’re a family. I want you to get along, and from now on, Deborah is in charge of the household.”
“Jordan and I were just talking about having a baby, actually. Don’t worry, Dad, we’ll try to make you a grandpa by next year.”
“And if I do get pregnant, I’ll go stir-crazy doing nothing all day. That would put me in a bad mood, which isn’t good for the baby. Dad, let me keep running the household. If Deborah really wants to help, she can be in charge of your meals.”
In her mind, if Deborah was responsible for Jackson’s food and anything happened to him, he’d only have one person to suspect.
Jackson could tell they were both upset that he’d married Deborah without talking to them first.

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...
