“He didn’t really have to go on that business trip. He just wanted to give you some peace and quiet. If he’d stayed, he wouldn’t have been able to stop himself from bothering you, and you’d probably end up hating him even more.”
“Ethan made mistakes, but so did we. Isabella, I’m sorry. I mean it. I really am.”
If she’d known what was coming, if she’d realized Isabella had never been at fault, Jennifer would have accepted her, even if it meant biting her tongue. If the Adams family had treated Isabella with just a bit more kindness, she might not have filed for divorce so quickly.
But they hadn’t. The Adams family didn’t make things easy for her, and Ethan only married Isabella because of Natalie. Even when Ethan promised to put Natalie in the past and start over with Isabella, she still chose to walk away. There wasn’t a single bit of nostalgia left for that marriage.
Jennifer was full of regret. Stephanie had warned her, told her that if she agreed to Ethan marrying Isabella, she needed to treat Isabella right and keep out of their marriage. Jennifer just wasn’t able to do that. Not only did she constantly meddle, but she also never truly welcomed Isabella and even let her own daughter pick on her.
She was an awful mother-in-law. Respect from the younger generation comes from letting them live their own lives. Her interference didn’t help anyone. Her son almost turned against her, her relationship with her daughter-in-law was constantly sour, and she let her daughter cause so much trouble that she had to be sent overseas.
Now, Jennifer had nothing but regret. It was real, bone-deep regret.
“Jennifer, I let it go a long time ago. I don’t blame any of you. Ethan and I just weren’t meant to work out.”
“But if it hadn’t been for us, you and Ethan wouldn’t be divorced. He wouldn’t have gone on this trip, none of this would have happened.” Jennifer could only blame herself.
“Jennifer, nobody could have seen this coming. What happened to Ethan wasn’t just bad luck. This was planned. Let’s wait for the police to finish their investigation.”
Ethan had been set up.
“If I find out who hurt my son…” Jennifer’s eyes flashed with anger. She squeezed her husband’s hand tight. “Walter, you have to find whoever did 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...
