The people who lived in this neighborhood were just as wealthy and influential as the Franklins.
Ethan knew exactly where the Franklins lived. Thanks to his connection with Natalie, he’d known Nadine for years, so their address was no secret to him. Plus, the Adams Group had done business with the Franklin Group before, so there was a bit of history between the families.
Half an hour later, Ethan pulled up outside the Franklin family’s villa with his team of bodyguards. One of the guards got out and rang the bell.
It took a while before anyone showed up. The man who finally came to the door was grumbling, “Who’s ringing the bell at this hour? Doesn’t anyone sleep around here?”
Seriously, who comes knocking in the middle of the night?
He froze when he saw the row of cars and the Adams family’s bodyguards waiting outside. His tone shifted immediately. “Who are you people? Who are you looking for? It’s the middle of the night. This isn’t exactly a good time for visitors.”
He was the Franklins’ butler, and he looked both surprised and cautious.
The bodyguard spoke quietly, “I’m with Ethan. He’d like to see Lawer.”
The butler was stunned for a second. Ethan was here? In the middle of the night? That couldn’t mean anything good.
He remembered the mess Nadine had made. She was still in police custody, not released yet. Lawer and Pansy had been up all night, frantically making calls, trying to pull whatever strings they could to get her out.
He’d also heard that the car Nadine smashed belonged to Mrs. Adams. Now Ethan showed up with a crew of bodyguards. Was this about sticking up for his ex-wife?
“Please wait here. I have to let Lawer know. I can’t open the gate without his say-so.”
With that, the butler hurried back inside.
The couple was self-aware enough to realize Ethan’s visit had to be about Nadine smashing that car. He was here to stand up for Isabella.
Who could blame their daughter for being so upset? Isabella had made Ethan regret the divorce and want her back, and she’d completely captured Harold’s attention, too.
The Carter family was only a little less prominent than the Adams family. No matter if Isabella chose her ex-husband or Harold, she was destined for a life of luxury.
How did that woman get so lucky?
Pansy thought of Cynthia’s stunning, well-kept face. Isabella had inherited her mother’s beauty. Even without makeup, she turned heads wherever she went.
It wasn’t just men who found her irresistible. Even women had to admit Isabella was breathtaking.

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...
