After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 780
Latonia spent a few more minutes chatting with Laura, but soon another important guest arrived. As Lucas’s wife, she naturally had to join her husband to welcome them. Lilian went along with her.
Once the Buck family had moved on, Laura leaned closer to Jesse and whispered, “Is something up with Lilian? She seems a little off. Is she not feeling well?”
Jesse glanced at Lilian. She didn’t look sick. She was just quiet, maybe struggling to find something to say. She didn’t really act like the confident girls you usually saw from rich families.
Lowering his voice, Jesse replied, “Lilian was actually switched at birth in the hospital. She only recently got her real identity back, traded places with the girl who grew up as the Buck family’s daughter. Her adoptive family wasn’t kind to her, so she’s a bit reserved.”
Laura’s eyes widened. “Seriously? Stuff like that actually happens? I thought that was just something we made up for drama in novels.”
Jesse nodded. “Back then, Lucas was away on a business trip. When Latonia went into labor, it was the family’s nanny who took her to the hospital. After Lilian was born, Latonia had a serious hemorrhage and everyone was so focused on her that nobody really paid attention to the baby.”
“That’s when someone made the switch. The couple who did it didn’t even know Latonia. They just knew she was the wife of a wealthy man and staying in a fancy room. Maybe out of jealousy, they swapped their newborn daughter with Latonia’s.”
“There weren’t security cameras in hospitals back then, and newborns all look pretty similar. Latonia was in danger, so no one really noticed which baby was which. It gave those people the perfect chance.”
Laura was completely hooked. “So how did they eventually find out?”
Jesse checked to make sure no one was listening before answering. In a hushed tone, he said, “The girl who grew up as the Buck family’s daughter got really sick, kidney failure. She needed a transplant. The Bucks loved her so much they all wanted to donate a kidney, but after all the testing, it turned out she wasn’t related to them at all.”
“Lucas spent a lot of time and money investigating what happened. Eventually, he found his real daughter.”
Laura was quiet for a moment. “She must have been pretty clear-headed to make that choice.”
Jesse shrugged. “Now Lilian is back with the Bucks, but she’s new to all of this and doesn’t really fit in yet. You two exchanged numbers, right? If you get along, maybe you can talk more.”
The Mason and Buck families were pretty close, so Laura and Lilian would probably see each other again. Jesse clearly hoped they would become friends.
Laura smiled. “If we click, I’m happy to talk. If not, we’ll just be acquaintances.”
She understood what Jesse was really getting at. Even though she wasn’t ready to marry him, Laura could feel herself starting to fall for him.

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...
