Given how things were between her and Isabella right now, Natalie knew if she really tried to force her way into Isabella’s company, Isabella wouldn’t just make her pay for the damages—she’d probably call the cops too. The last thing Natalie wanted was to get taken in by the police again.
So she pulled out her phone and called Isabella.
This time, Isabella actually picked up.
“Isabella, where are you?” Natalie snapped.
Isabella’s voice was calm and a little cold. “What do you want? Do I have to give you updates on my whereabouts now?”
“I’m outside your company, and your security won’t let me in. Tell them to open the gate. I need to see you.”
“Natalie, show some respect. They’re my employees, not guard dogs. Honest work is honest work, and you don’t get to insult them or what they do.”
“I told them not to let you in,” Isabella continued. “You’ve got two people in your car I don’t want to deal with. Actually, I don’t want to see you, either. Every time I see you, I feel sick for the rest of the day. I’m about to go to lunch, and I don’t want you ruining my appetite. Let’s not meet.”
Natalie’s face turned green with anger.
“Fine, Isabella. You’re tough, I’ll give you that. You don’t want to see me? You think I’m desperate to see you? My company’s right across the street. Sooner or later, you’ll be the one coming to me for help.”
She hung up, then turned to the two elderly people sitting in the back seat.
“Isabella won’t even see me. I’m sorry, but there’s nothing more I can do to help you.”
Isabella’s grandparents looked embarrassed. Peter finally spoke up. “Sorry, we didn’t mean to drag you into this.”

The readers' comments on the novel: After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan)
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...
