After I Stopped Loving Him novel Chapter 288

Before Isabella even stepped out of the room, Jordan’s angry voice rang out behind her.

“Dad, you’ve done something that betrays this family and your marriage. Instead of facing us and explaining, you’re trying to kick us out. What, are you feeling guilty?”

He glared at Cynthia, who was still crying quietly, her shoulders trembling. “You’re only doing this because Cynthia is too softhearted. You want us out so she has no one to speak up for her, isn’t that right?”

Jordan’s words came out sharp, each one landing with a sting. “Tell us, Dad. Are these photos real or fake? If they’re fake, Ethan has a friend who can check them right now. Let’s call him. I want to see for myself who’s cruel enough to make up something like this to ruin your marriage.”

His voice dropped, heavy with emotion. “But if they’re real, Dad, how could you do this to my mom and to Cynthia? My mom may have been gone for over twenty years, but she gave you your first family. And Cynthia, she’s been with you for two decades. I was just a kid when she married you. She’s the one who raised me. If it weren’t for Cynthia taking care of me and Isabella, running this house, making sure everything was in order so you could work and enjoy your life without worry, do you think you’d have had it so easy? You haven’t just let down Cynthia and your marriage. You’ve let me down too.”

“I’ve been working nonstop for the company, leaving early and coming home late. When Natalie lost the baby, I couldn’t even be there for her every day because I was so busy with our family business. And you? You’re out there taking care of some other woman and your illegitimate son. They get to live comfortably without lifting a finger, and someday that kid’s just going to show up and take his share of the inheritance.”
