“We have to have a wedding. I mean it. I want to wear a wedding dress. You only get a moment like this once in your life, and I don’t want to miss out. Both of your previous wives had weddings. Now it’s finally my turn, so how could we skip it?”
“If you don’t throw a wedding, how is that fair to Kevin or me? It just wouldn’t feel right.”
Jackson hesitated, looking uneasy. “I’m just worried Jordan won’t like it.”
“He’s already upset, so why worry about it getting worse? Are you still afraid of him? He’s not your only child anymore. You used to do everything for him, but now you have Kevin too.”
“We have Kevin. You don’t need to worry about who’s going to take care of you when you’re older. So what are you afraid of?”
“Jackson, I’m not trying to turn you against your son, but Jordan isn’t as innocent as you think. And Natalie, she might look soft and harmless, but she’s the most dangerous one of all. I bet they both hate us right now. Who knows what they’re plotting? Maybe they’re even thinking about how to tear us apart, or worse.”
Jackson’s expression turned serious. “I’m his father. I’ve always treated him well. What could he actually do to me?”
“You never know. I just feel like the two of them are full of nasty ideas, and they won’t make things easy for us. If you don’t believe me, just wait and see.”
“When you’re at work, be careful with your coffee and tea. Don’t let your son make it for you. I’m worried he might put something in your cup. Coffee and tea are already bitter, so it’d be easy to hide the taste of poison.”
Jackson’s face tightened. “Deborah, you’re getting carried away. Jordan would never do something like that to me. We’re father and son.”
Deborah didn’t really want to invite Mandy, but then she remembered that Jordan and Natalie would be joining them for dinner too. Mandy wanted to get close to Jordan, so why not let her go head-to-head with Natalie? Deborah could just sit back and see what happened.
Thinking that, Deborah smiled. “I’ll call Mandy in a bit and ask her to come tonight. With you looking out for her, her parents can relax.”
Jackson said, “I’m only doing this for you. She is your sister, after all.”
Mandy reminded him of Deborah when she was young. Deborah now had a different kind of beauty, more mature and confident, but Jackson still missed the way she had been in her early twenties.

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...
