If, someday, Ethan genuinely developed feelings for another woman, Isabella had only one condition; she refused to accept vague relationships.
She had no interest in secret lovers, undefined arrangements, or casual romances.
If another woman was ever going to become part of Ethan's life, then she was to become his wife as well.

More importantly, it would diminish her own dignity as Ethan's wife.
That…was the agreement Ethan had accepted.
