After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 1080

Natalie called Jordan again, but he still didn't answer.

However, he quickly sent her a text message.

"Natalie, go home. We'll talk properly tonight when I get back."

Reading his message, Natalie finally let out a sigh of relief. He was willing to talk.

Jordan definitely wouldn't divorce her.

She was the heiress of the Gates family.

She was his childhood friend, the woman he loved the most.

He had told her that his affair with his secretary was just a momentary impulse, a craving for something new. Deep down, he still loved her.

As for what happened with those men...

It wasn't like she wanted it. She had been set up, drugged. She was a victim too.

As long as Jordan didn't hold her compromised purity against her, she wouldn't hold his affair with the secretary against him.

They couldn't divorce.

If they did, she would become a laughingstock.

He would also lose the powerful backing of her family, which would put him at a massive disadvantage in the fight for the Lane family inheritance against his stepmother and his half-brother.

Thinking of this, Natalie scoffed. "Isabella, you wanted to ruin my marriage and force a divorce. I'm sorry to disappoint you, but Jordan and I are staying together!"

As for Ethan, she would figure that out when he returned from his business trip.

There was no way she was just going to let Ethan go. She was used to him spoiling her and tolerating her every flaw.

Once he was back, she would still go see him. Only this time, she would have to do it in secret. She couldn't be as brazen as before.

In the past, she thought Jordan didn't mind.

She thought they were completely on the same page.

Now she realized he did mind; he just never said it out loud.

The butler quickly brought her a set of silverware.

Placing her Birkin bag aside, Natalie waited for the butler to serve her soup before firing back at Deborah. "My family lives close by. I can go back whenever I want. Unlike you, who probably struggles to even make a trip home."

Deborah set down her fork, picked up the serving utensils, and placed some food onto her husband's plate.

"Natalie, you and Jordan probably don't know yet, but after your father and I had our wedding, we moved my parents here. He already bought a nice little villa for them nearby."

"It's very close to us, making it so easy for us to reunite. Where my parents live is my home now, so visiting them will be effortless."

"Jackson, this fish is absolutely delicious tonight. Have some more. I took all the bones out for you."

Deborah placed a tender piece of fish onto Jackson's plate, having carefully removed every tiny bone. She played the role of the gentle, doting wife perfectly.

Then, she served some food to her son. "Kevin, make sure you finish your homework right after dinner, okay? You need to study hard and get perfect scores in every subject."

"Mom, I always get perfect scores," Kevin replied.

Natalie casually picked at her food. "What's the point of perfect scores? You have no manners and no upbringing. I just walked through the door, and he didn't even bother to say hello to me."
