After I Stopped Loving Him novel Chapter 302

Ethan noticed the way Natalie’s brows drew together. After thinking it over, he said, “Natalie, you should really go talk to Jordan. What’s done is done, and now you both have to deal with it.”

“This isn’t the moment to pick a fight with Jackson. No matter how angry you are, you need to hold back. If you make a scene, he’ll only end up more disappointed in Jordan. And don’t count on Jackson feeling bad about any of this. If he could do something like that, he was never thinking about who he'd hurt.”

Natalie hesitated, then nodded. “I know. I’ll try to talk to Jordan, but honestly, I don’t think he’ll listen. The fight between him and his dad is pretty bad.”

She let out a long sigh. She’d been blind to what was really going on. Jackson and Cynthia had been married for twenty years, and to everyone else, they seemed happy.

No one would have guessed that Jackson’s illegitimate son was already ten.

Jordan had looked into that woman and her kid, even though Jackson had tried to stop him. Deborah had just turned thirty-six yesterday. Her son, Kevin Lane, was ten and already in fourth grade at the city’s top private school. In September, he’d be starting fifth grade.

What stung most was that Jackson had spent last night with Deborah, celebrating her birthday.

Deborah was only six years older than Jordan. If Jackson and Cynthia split and Jackson married Deborah, even Natalie wouldn’t be able to get along with her. That’s why Natalie was desperate for Cynthia not to divorce.

Ethan sighed too. He knew Jordan wouldn’t let this go. Cynthia could leave Jackson and start over, but Jordan would have to live with this mess forever.

“Ethan, one more thing,” Natalie said. “Could you help us look into Deborah? Maybe talk to Jackson too?”

“The Adams Group and The Lane Group work closely together. If you put some pressure on Jackson, he won’t be so bold.”
