“Jackson, let it go. Natalie has never liked me, and she sure doesn’t like Kevin. She thinks Kevin being here means he’s taking away what should rightfully belong to Jordan. If we hadn’t had Kevin, everything would’ve gone to Jordan.”
“Natalie’s married to Jordan. Of course they’re united, I get that. But she treats every stepmother the same, whether it’s me or Cynthia. There’s just no way she could ever accept us.”
“Any time you show a little kindness to Kevin or me, they get jealous, worried we’re going to end up with everything.”
“But Jackson, I honestly have no intention of fighting for the inheritance. I just want to be with you. I want to spend our lives together, and all I want for Kevin is a loving, stable family. You’ve already given us more than enough. Kevin and I are never going to struggle.”
“I could explain it a thousand times, but nobody’s ever going to believe me. Cynthia was the same. She spent twenty years in this family, and Jordan and Natalie still never really accepted her. Every time you gave her something, they’d scheme to take it right back.”
“You and Cynthia never had kids, so they never felt so threatened. But once you had Kevin with me, suddenly they’re terrified. They think Kevin’s going to steal your love, your fortune. To them, we’re just a problem they wish would go away.”
“Don’t forget, Jackson, you were the one who wanted Kevin in the first place. You told me he was the child you’d been waiting for, that you loved me, truly loved me, and you promised you’d always care for us.”
“It takes two people to mess things up. You can’t just blame everything on me because you had an affair. If you want to put it on me, fine, I can handle that. But I can’t keep letting them insult me, or Kevin.”
“Natalie said I shouldn’t think I’m special just because I have a son, that there’s no guarantee he’ll even grow up. How could she say something so cruel? She’s basically cursing Kevin.”

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...
