After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 730

Natalie’s voice trembled as she cried, “Do you not love me anymore? Is it Isabella? Did you fall for her?”

Ethan took a moment before he spoke. “This isn’t about love, Natalie. This is about what kind of person you are.”

He looked her in the eye. “You’re Jordan’s wife. Even if he’s drunk tonight and doesn’t know you came here, secrets like this don’t stay hidden forever. Maybe he won’t find out the first time, or the second, or even the third, but one day, he will.”

“If you don’t want people to find out, then don’t do it. Everything catches up to you eventually.”

“You loved Jordan when you married him, right? If you really do, how can you think about betraying him like this?”

“This isn’t about Isabella. Don’t drag her into this. She and I have been divorced for ages.”

Ethan remembered Isabella once telling him that Natalie hated her. Back then, he couldn’t believe it. Natalie and Isabella barely talked. Natalie seemed to have it all. Why would she hate Isabella?

But now, it made sense.

Natalie didn’t hate Isabella, not really. She just couldn’t stand the idea of him caring about someone else.

Even after marrying Jordan, Natalie couldn’t let go of the way Ethan treated her. She wanted his attention, all of it, forever. Whenever he showed even a little concern for Isabella, Natalie lost it. That’s why she hated Isabella.

Ethan glanced at Natalie, her cheeks streaked with tears, and for the first time noticed how revealing her outfit was. The way she’d moved before had left little to the imagination.

He thought for a second about taking off his pajama top to cover her, but then realized what he was wearing. His fingers brushed the buttons, but he stopped.

She threw her head back and shouted through her tears, “Yes, I’m losing my mind. I’m going crazy wanting to be with you!”

Her voice shook. “Do you know, Ethan? When Jordan told me he liked me back then, I was happy, but I kept hoping you’d say something too. But you never did.”

“You loved me, so why didn’t you tell me? Why didn’t you fight for me, or try to win me over from Jordan? If you’d said something, I wouldn’t have married him so quickly.”

“I was happy with Jordan, but there was always something missing. That missing part was you. I realized I love you too. Ethan, we both love each other. Why can’t we be together?”

“It’s always been the three of us, ever since we were kids. Why can’t it stay like that?”

“You’re the most loyal person I know when it comes to love. I don’t believe for a second that you just stopped loving me in six months.”
