Changing her name back to George didn’t change the fact that she grew up in the Lane family.
Natalie had made mistakes, sure, but she never really hurt Isabella. Still, Isabella just wouldn’t let it go. If Ethan hadn’t stepped in, Natalie might have ended up with a suspended sentence, not just a few days in detention.
“Mom, do we work with the Adams Group a lot?” Natalie asked, pretending not to notice the warning in her mother’s voice.
There was no way she and Isabella would ever make peace. They were enemies for life. She wanted Isabella gone, simple as that. As long as she was still breathing, she’d make sure Isabella never had it easy.
“We’ve always had close business ties. Why are you bringing this up now?” Adelina gave her a look. “You didn’t have a fight with Ethan, did you? Are you worried he’ll come after us?”
Natalie shook her head. “No, it’s not that.” She sipped her soup and set the bowl down. “But maybe we shouldn’t get too wrapped up with the Adams Group. I just think the Gates family shouldn’t depend on them too much. If Ethan ever decided to cut us off…”
“The Gates Group could be in serious trouble. It would hurt us a lot.”
Adelina set down her chopsticks and stared at her daughter. “Natalie, be honest with me. What’s going on between you and Ethan?”
“Our families have always been close. We’ve done business together for ages. It’s not that we depend on them, it’s a win-win. Why would he ever want to end that?”

The readers' comments on the novel: After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan)
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...
