After I Stopped Loving Him novel Chapter 13

“Can you not act like you’re obsessed with money? I really don’t like it.” Ethan couldn’t help pinching Isabella’s cheek. Her skin was softer than he expected.

“I’m broke, okay? And you won’t even help me get my wedding gift back,” Isabella mumbled.

“So, Ethan, how much are you going to reward me?”

“At least a hundred grand.”

Isabella grinned. Honestly, making money was never easier than when she was trying to please him.

“About your wedding gift…” Ethan started.

Isabella cut in, “Jordan kept it. Natalie decided she liked it and took it.”

Ethan went quiet, just like she knew he would. If it had been her mom who took the gift, Ethan would’ve been furious and probably would have marched over to get it back for her. But since it was Jordan and Natalie, he had nothing left to say.

She sighed to herself, trying not to get her hopes up. Still, she couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed.

“The Lanes raised me, paid for my school and everything. I owe them more than I can ever pay back. So, the wedding gift you gave me, let them keep it. Consider it my way of saying thank you for raising me.”

Ethan’s face softened. “That’s pretty mature of you. I’m impressed.”

Isabella’s eyes sparkled with mischief. “I’m just good at doing my job. If you up the reward, maybe to a million, I could be even more obedient and sweet.”

Ethan’s expression darkened. He let go of her hand and walked away without another word.
