Jordan laughed. “I’m serious, you know.”
Natalie walked him down the stairs.
“Jordan, when do you think we’ll have a baby?” She rested her hand over her stomach. “I really hope this time it happens.”
“Don’t stress yourself, Natalie. When the time is right, we’ll have a child. If it’s not meant to be, it won’t stay, just like our first little one.”
If that baby hadn’t been lost, their child would be a few months along by now. They’d be expecting a new arrival early next year. The thought stung.
Natalie’s face grew somber. “But I want to get pregnant soon. I want us to have a son. If your dad had a grandson, maybe he’d actually pay attention to our side of the family. Right now, he’s all about them.”
“Kevin’s already got a mouth on him, and he’s just a kid. He’s not easy to handle. His mom’s always backing him up, and your dad can’t help spoiling his youngest. We’re pretty much at a disadvantage these days.”
Jordan didn’t have his mom around anymore to look out for him, to help him fight for their place. Kevin did, and his mom was tough as nails.
“It’ll happen,” Jordan said gently. “We’re both still young, and you’ve taken good care of yourself. Sooner or later, it’ll be our turn.”
“Jordan, try drinking less, okay? If I do get pregnant, I don’t want anything to go wrong again. I keep thinking maybe last time it was all those business dinners, all the drinking. Maybe that’s why things didn’t go well.”
Jordan paused, looking a little guilty. “Alright, I’ll try to cut back. But sometimes it’s out of my hands, you know how those dinners go. It’s not like I can just say no.”
Jordan shot a look at Deborah, then smirked at his dad. “Neither are you. Aren’t you usually the first one there?”
Jackson straightened his back, looking proud. “I’m not going today. Deborah and I just came back from city hall. We got our marriage license. We haven’t had the big ceremony yet, but this is still a big deal for us. So, I’m taking the day off.”
“Jordan, Natalie, since you’re both here, I want you to know that starting today, Deborah and Kevin will be moving in. Deborah and I are legally married now. She’s my wife. From now on, she’s the lady of the Lane family.”
He said it clearly. The lady of the house.
Natalie’s face changed in an instant.

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...
