After I Stopped Loving Him novel Chapter 289

Jordan didn’t wait for Jackson to say a word. He just told Ethan to make the call.

“What call?” Jackson snapped, eyes blazing. “Did you all just ignore everything I said? Am I invisible to you now? I told you, this is between me and my wife. Why do any of you need to get involved?”

“It’s not just about you and Cynthia, Dad,” Jordan shot back, refusing to back down. “I’m not leaving until you explain everything.”

Jackson was seething, hate boiling inside him for whoever had taken those photos and sent them to Cynthia. The room felt frozen, tension thick, until Jackson finally realized he couldn’t deny it anymore.

He looked over at Cynthia, who was still crying softly, and his voice dropped, heavy with regret. “I’m sorry. I really let you down.”

He took a shaky breath. “It just happened. She was young, gorgeous, had this incredible energy. There was this one night, a business dinner, I had too much to drink, and we ended up together. After that, I felt responsible, so I bought her an apartment. When she got pregnant, I fired her publicly from The Lane Group, but really, it was just so she could have the baby quietly.”

Cynthia’s voice was barely above a whisper, thick with tears. “Was it a secretary? Someone who worked for you?”
