The next morning, when he woke up without a hangover, Natalie wrapped herself around him. One thing led to another and, well, they ended up spending half the day tangled up in the sheets.
Before either of them ever cheated, their marriage was actually pretty good. They were close, always finding reasons to be together and making each other laugh. When Jordan drank too much, Natalie usually took care of him. Sometimes she’d grumble about his drinking, but she’d never be in the mood for anything more. That was just how she was.
So why this time? Was she trying to cover something up?
Had her night with those other men happened a month ago too? Was the baby in her stomach really his? Or was it someone else’s?
She was only a month along. There was no way to know for sure if he was the father, not until they did a paternity test in a few months. Jordan felt like he was choking on the thought. Waiting sounds easy, but when doubt eats at you, every day is torture.
Right now, Jordan was convinced. The kid wasn’t his.
“Natalie, what’s with you?” He finally looked up. “You’ve been quiet for ages. What’s going on in that head of yours? You look upset. Aren’t you happy? You’re going to be a dad again. Or... is it that you don’t want me to have your baby?”
Jordan didn’t say a word. The silence made Natalie’s nerves stretch thin. Deep down, she was terrified too. She was placing a desperate bet that the baby was Jordan’s, hoping it might heal what was broken between them. Her family wanted her to have a baby anyway, and she knew if they didn’t, Jordan might just have one with someone else.
“Natalie...” Jordan’s voice was low. “Is this baby really mine?”
The words hung between them. Natalie’s face went cold, then turned angry. She slapped him, hard. The sound echoed in the room.

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...
