After I Stopped Loving Him novel Chapter 432

Natalie reached over and gave his waist a sharp pinch.

“Jordan, if you say one more thing like that, I’m going to get mad. If I really cared about wedding gifts, I wouldn’t have married you in the first place. Whatever you give me makes me happy, and what you gave was already more than enough. Our family isn’t the Adams family, so why bother comparing?”

Natalie let out a shaky breath.

“And Isabella’s wedding gifts…”
