After I Stopped Loving Him novel Chapter 187

Cynthia looked away and grabbed the remote, flicking on the TV to lose herself in a drama.

Jordan and Natalie weren’t just hanging around their own backyard. They wandered through the whole neighborhood, making sure they were far enough from home that no one could eavesdrop. Finally, Natalie broke the silence. “Jordan, is that really it? Are we just done?”

“When I left, I told Ethan we’d do our own DNA test too, so we could compare the results. If ours came back negative, Ethan would start doubting Isabella,” Jordan said quietly.

He hesitated, his voice dropping lower. “But we can’t risk it now. You gave him the hair sample. If our test says something different, Ethan will know we messed with it. He’s not stupid, Natalie.”

Jordan couldn’t help but feel jealous of Ethan. No matter what it was—school, business—Ethan always beat him. The only thing he ever won was marrying Natalie.

The truth was, Ethan had fallen for Natalie first. Jordan noticed it, so he went out of his way to win her over, always treating her better, always there for her. The three of them had grown up together, but Natalie liked him more. He knew it, and it made it easy to swoop in and become her boyfriend before Ethan even had a chance to say how he felt. After they got married, Jordan was famous around Cabinda for spoiling his wife. He loved showing off, especially in front of Ethan.

Right after the wedding, when Ethan kept stopping by their place, Jordan had pulled him aside in private. He’d made it clear things had changed—Natalie was his wife now, and he didn’t want Ethan coming by uninvited. The pain on Ethan’s face that night made Jordan feel like he’d finally come out on top.
