Jordan said, “Cynthia never stood a chance against her. She and my dad never had kids, but Deborah has a son.”
Kevin looked so much like his father that you couldn’t deny it, even if you wanted to. The first time Jordan met him, he knew Kevin would be trouble.
“Your uncle’s family is slipping again. Dad hasn’t worried about them in ages.”
Natalie let out a sigh. “Even though Cynthia never had children, if she hadn’t divorced your dad, Isabella would still have to come back home, and Ethan would still be your family’s son-in-law—at least on paper.”
“Your dad wouldn’t have dared to act out like this before. But just look at him now. He’s getting bolder by the day, acting like we don’t even exist. Deborah barely moved in before she started trying to take over the house. I’ve been in charge for so long. I can’t just hand it all over to her.”
Jordan hugged his wife, trying to comfort her. “Don’t worry, Natalie. You’ve got me. I won’t let them take what’s ours.”
“Go back inside and get some rest. I’m heading to work. If you don’t want to deal with them, go spend some time with your mom.”
Natalie nodded. “I was planning to go to my parents’ house anyway. You get to work. While your dad is still obsessed with that woman, you need to take control at the company.”
Jordan was already thinking the same thing, even if she hadn’t said it.
He left, and Natalie watched his car pull away.
Deborah nodded. “I get it. I’m not in a hurry to take over. Let’s wait until after the wedding. I still need to plan everything. It’s too hot right now anyway. Let’s choose a nice day in the fall, when it’s cooler and more comfortable.”
“A wedding… Deborah, we’re not exactly young anymore. Maybe we could skip the ceremony? Just invite a few close friends for dinner.”
Jackson hesitated. This was his third marriage, and he wasn’t excited about another wedding. He’d had one when he married Cynthia, after all.
Deborah laughed. “We’re not old at all. We’re still young at heart. After the wedding, we could even try for another baby. Didn’t you always want a daughter? I could give you a beautiful little girl.”

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...
