Isabella could hardly wait for her mom and Zachary to move in. The house would finally feel alive again, not so quiet and empty. Her mom would be there to look after her, and she could help out with the three of them too. Well, technically, her mom and Zachary didn’t really count as seniors just yet.
“Okay, I’ll just grab a cab straight to your place then. I’ll talk to you when I get home.”
“Alright.”
After hanging up, Cynthia turned to Zachary and Amelia. “Since we changed our flights and came back early without telling Isabella, let’s not bother her to pick us up. We can just take a couple of cabs ourselves.”
They had way too much luggage for one car anyway—six suitcases between the three of them, so everyone was wheeling out two.
Zachary nodded. “I’ve been saying, we should just get cabs. There’s no need to make Isabella drive all the way out here.”
“She’s busy enough these days,” Cynthia said, smiling. “I just thought maybe she’d be free tonight.”
“I’ve been away so long, I really miss my girl,” she added with a little laugh.
“I know what you mean. I miss my kids too,” Amelia said, smiling back. Even though the kids were all grown up and independent, a mom’s heart never really stops worrying. Being away that long just made her miss them more.
While they were making their way to the exit, Cynthia’s phone started ringing. She stopped, checked the screen, and hesitated for a split second before answering.
“Ethan?”
It was Ethan on the line.
“Mom, did you, Zachary, and Amelia already land? Send me your location and I’ll come pick you up.”
Cynthia answered automatically, “No need, Ethan. We’ll just take a cab.”

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...
