“Natalie blames me for everything, even though you know there’s nothing going on between us except real feelings. Jackson, you have to stand up for me. I get it if she doesn’t see me as family, I really do, but she can’t just hit me whenever she’s upset, right?”
Natalie bit her tongue, fuming inside.
Unbelievable. This woman always managed to play the victim first.
Jackson glanced at his wife’s face, focusing on the angry red mark with a clear handprint. It was obvious someone had hit her, and hit her hard. Then his eyes shifted to Natalie.
He’d already seen the local news blow up that morning.
The first thing he saw was a photo of Harold and Isabella holding hands, with reporters claiming they were dating. The comments section was filled with suspiciously supportive messages. Jackson could tell right away most of them were paid for.
When it came to his ex-stepdaughter moving on so quickly after her divorce, and again with someone wealthy, Jackson actually felt happy for her. His marriage to Cynthia had ended without yelling or drama. After twenty years together, there was still a little bit of affection, some sense of family left. Even after the divorce, he found himself rooting for Isabella. He made some calls to get the trending topic taken down and hired people to leave positive comments for her online.
It didn’t really change much. Things only started turning around when Harold and Ethan both released statements explaining the situation.

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...
