After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 1089
He was definitely drunk, but not blacked out. He could still manage his own movements.
"Boss, are you sure you can make it inside by yourself?" Malvina asked with feigned concern.
Jordan grunted. "I'm fine. I'll go in myself."
With that, he stumbled toward the front doors.
The butler immediately held his hand out, demanding the car keys from Malvina. She handed them over, and he stated flatly, "Miss, you'll have to call a cab yourself. It's late, so I won't be walking you out."
"It's quite a walk from here to the main road," she replied. "Could you at least drive me to the gate so I can catch a ride?"
The butler hesitated for a split second before shutting her down. "I'm sorry, I can't. If the missus finds out, I'll lose my job."
Malvina stayed silent for a moment, realizing she couldn't force him.
She turned on her heel and began the long trek toward the estate exit.
Thankfully, she was somewhat familiar with the area, but walking out of the massive gated community on foot would still take her the better part of an hour.
By the time she actually made it back to her apartment, it would probably be past one in the morning.
Jordan, of course, was completely oblivious to this, nor did he care how she got home. To him, she was nothing more than a convenient thrill to pass the time. The woman he truly loved was Natalie.
Stumbling inside, he poured himself a glass of water, collapsed onto the sofa, and downed it before heavily making his way upstairs.
The lights in his father and stepmother's bedroom were already off, and his younger half-brother's door was firmly shut. The house was dead quiet.
He stood outside his own bedroom door, pausing in the silence before finally pushing it open.
The lights were glaringly bright.
A heavy, suffocating stench of alcohol hit him instantly. On the small wet bar in the corner sat a half-empty glass of liquor. He didn't even need to ask to know Natalie had been drinking.
But she was nowhere to be seen.
Jordan shrugged off his suit jacket, loosened his tie, and unbuttoned his cuffs before walking deeper into the room. She wasn't in the bed either.

The readers' comments on the novel: After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan)
I will be devastated if Isabella and Ethan will get back together. Please, writer, Isabella deserves Harold....
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...
