“Natalie, I’m not saying this to pick on you, but you and Jordan have been letting me down more and more. Apologize to Deborah. Just because she's willing to let it go doesn’t mean you don’t owe her an apology.”
Natalie’s frustration boiled over. “Dad, are you seriously just going to believe everything she says? You basically raised me yourself. Don’t you know what kind of person I am?”
“I’ll admit it. I don’t like her. I can’t stand her. Is she actually proud of being the woman who came between you and Cynthia? I’m the Lane family’s matriarch. Am I supposed to look up to a homewrecker and call her an elder?”
“Every single time, she acts like the victim, and you always choose to believe her, Dad. You never take my side, never Jordan’s either. How do you expect us not to be angry? You’ve never even tried to be fair. You always side with your youngest son.”
“If you’d just treated me and Jordan a little better, if you weren’t so obviously playing favorites, do you really think we’d act out of fear and make such reckless choices?”
“Jordan grew up his whole life thinking he was your only child, soaking in all your love. After college, he joined The Lane Group, started at the very bottom, and worked his way up. He’s done every tough job, put in the hours, and earned his spot as Vice President all on his own.”
“He’s never once complained, because this is his family’s company. He takes The Lane Group as his responsibility, gives everything he has. And how do you treat him?”
“You went behind his back, had another child with someone else, and fawned all over that kid, always bragging about how smart, well-behaved, and filial he is. Meanwhile, you’re constantly putting Jordan down. Even an idiot would feel hurt by that comparison.”
“This mess we’re in as a family, it’s not because of me and my husband. It’s because of you. You’ve created all of this.”

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...
