Lawer lowered his voice. “Let’s talk inside. He’s not here for anything good, but now that he’s shown up, we can’t exactly throw him out.”
He and Pansy hurried to show Ethan the way.
Inside, Pansy poured water for Ethan and her husband, then brought out some snacks and filled the coffee table.
Ethan sat down on the sofa, leaning back and resting his arm on the armrest. He tapped his fingers, steady and loud, the sound echoing in the quiet living room.
Lawer felt his nerves stretch tighter with every tap.
“Mr. Adams, what brings you here so late?” Lawer forced a smile, pretending he didn’t already know why Ethan had come.
Ethan looked up, his eyes dark and cold. He stared straight at Lawer, his lips tight before he finally spoke. “Nadine smashed Isabella’s new car.”
Lawer’s smile froze. He quickly tried to recover. “It’s just a little misunderstanding between the girls. Really, just a small argument. We’ve already talked with Isabella, and we’ll get her a new car.”
Ethan just laughed, but there was no warmth in it. “A misunderstanding? A small argument? You’ve already talked to her? What kind of misunderstanding ends with someone smashing up a car? If no one had stopped her, she would’ve completely trashed Isabella’s car.”
“And as far as I know, Isabella refused to settle. Is that your idea of settling things?”
Lawer’s words caught in his throat. He knew Isabella hadn’t agreed to anything. She’d only said she’d think about it, but whether she’d actually forgive Nadine was still up in the air.
Lawer and Pansy stared at him, shocked.
“It was a gift for Isabella. I picked it up this afternoon, brand new. I only drove it back to Hearthside Coffee after dark, and in less than two hours, Nadine smashed it.”
“So, Lawer, tell me, what did my car ever do to your daughter? If she has a problem with my car, her real problem is with me. Was she trying to attack me instead?”
“No, no, of course not, Mr. Adams. Our whole family respects you. Nadine didn’t know. If she’d known that car was a gift from you to Isabella, she wouldn’t have dared touch it, not for anything.”
Ethan let out a cold laugh. “She would. She was already angry at Isabella because I was good to her. She called Isabella a homewrecker, a bitch who steals other people’s men.”

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...
