After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 764

Isabella nodded. “Yeah, he’s my neighbor now. Why?”

She couldn’t help but wonder if Jordan had heard something about Ethan and Natalie. Was he here to fish for gossip?

“Ethan’s really loyal to you, isn’t he?” Jordan’s tone dripped with sarcasm.

Isabella kept her mouth shut. Her business with Ethan was private, and she wasn’t about to spill it to Jordan.

She knew Jordan and Natalie had been thrilled when she and Ethan split up. But once Ethan gave her that huge settlement, they started to hate it. They really couldn’t stand the thought of her living well. When Ethan let her keep the mansion, Natalie had nearly lost her mind with jealousy.

Jordan realized Isabella wasn’t going to rise to the bait, so he paused, then changed the topic. “Hey, last night… actually, more like two or three in the morning—did you hear anything? Like, any weird noises?”

“What kind of noises? It was the middle of the night. Everyone’s asleep. What do you think I would’ve heard?” Isabella shot back.

Jordan hesitated, then asked, “Is your front door close to Ethan’s?”

“Not really. His front door’s closer to his other neighbor’s.”

“Why are you asking me all this, Jordan? Did something happen last night?”

“I didn’t hear about anything, but there was definitely some noise outside. Sounded like a man and a woman fighting. The woman started crying, but I couldn’t make out what she was saying.”

“I live alone, so I didn’t dare go out to check. Tried to look from my balcony, but it was too dark to see who it was. Honestly, if it hadn’t been so quiet at that hour, I probably wouldn’t have heard them at all.”

Jordan jumped in, “Did you hear what they were fighting about?”

“If you’re that curious, just go ask Darius about it. Why are you grilling me? I honestly don’t know.”

She pointed him in the Bartons’ direction. If anyone knew what happened, it would be them, not her.

Jordan wasn’t done. “Can I look at your security cameras?”

Isabella didn’t even hesitate. “No way. Why should I let you look at my footage? What’s your deal, Jordan? Are you involved with whoever was fighting last night? You’re acting like it has something to do with you. But that doesn’t make sense, you wouldn’t have been out there arguing with someone, right?”

She left her sentence hanging. It clicked. Jordan was starting to suspect something between Natalie and Ethan.

Once trust between a couple is gone, it’s just a matter of time before suspicion grows, cracks get wider, and the fights get uglier. When that happens, love disappears. Natalie could forget about ever being adored by two men the way she was in her last life. That was over.
