“No one in the Carter family really objects, except for Salome. Her problem isn’t that Isabella’s divorced, it’s that she thinks Isabella’s background just doesn’t measure up for Harold.”
The Carter family wasn’t as rich as the Adams family, but they were still a big deal in the city, with nearly a hundred years of history. Harold was their heir. In Salome’s eyes, the only woman good enough for her grandson was someone from a family just as powerful.
Natalie said, “If Salome doesn’t like Isabella, you should talk her ear off about Isabella’s flaws. I bet the other Carter elders would start to see her differently.”
“But Salome’s old. She doesn’t have much time left, so her opinion can only matter for so long.”
“Honestly, Isabella hasn’t even said yes to Harold yet. By the time she actually thinks about marrying him, a few years could pass. Salome probably won’t even be around then.”
Unlike Stephanie, Salome was always sick and taking medicine, in and out of the hospital. If the Carter family didn’t have money to keep her going, she’d have been gone a long time ago.
Counting on Salome to keep Isabella out of the Carter family seemed hopeless. Plus, Salome adored Harold. If he begged her, she’d give in and accept Isabella, no question.
“Whether she accepts her or not, that’s not the point. Step one is ruining Isabella’s reputation in front of the Carter family. She’s just pretending to be all high and mighty, but deep down, she’s scared of what people will say if she remarries right after her divorce.”
Natalie didn’t want Isabella getting back together with Ethan, and she didn’t want her ending up with Harold, either.
Those two men were Isabella’s biggest safety nets. If Natalie could take them both away, Isabella would finally crash back down to earth.

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...
