After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 1035

“How can going to the hospital ever be good news? Babe, don’t try to sugarcoat it. What’s actually going on?”

“You’ll find out in about ten minutes. I’m heading over now.”

Natalie kept it all mysterious, refusing to let anything slip over the phone. Jordan had nothing left to do but sigh and say, “Alright, I’ll wait for you at the office. Drive safe.”

“Got it.”

With that, their call ended.

Isabella didn’t catch Natalie’s words, but Jordan’s side of the conversation was crystal clear. As soon as Jordan put his phone down, Isabella spoke up. “So your wife goes to the hospital, calls it ‘good news,’ and you actually believe her? Jordan, she might be pregnant. But whether that kid is yours… that’s anyone’s guess.”

If it weren’t for the photos sitting between them, Isabella would have had no reason to doubt whose baby it was. But now, after seeing them, she wasn’t so sure. If Natalie was actually pregnant, there was a good chance the child didn’t belong to Jordan. Both he and Natalie had done their own share of betraying. The difference? Natalie seemed like she’d been drugged and set up. Jordan, though, had outright cheated and fallen for someone else.

“What are you even saying, Isabella?” Jordan’s features darkened, and he nearly spat her name. “Natalie might like Ethan, but nothing happened between them. Nothing.”

He might be doubting his own wife these days, but at least he trusted Ethan. If Ethan wanted to cross that line with Natalie, it would’ve happened a long time ago. Not now. The way Isabella was talking, it was clear she was trying to drive a wedge between him and Natalie. Sure, Jordan was still sneaking around behind Natalie’s back, but he wasn’t planning to leave her. He wanted to keep their marriage together, patch things up, and move on. Isabella’s words just set him off.

“Jordan, did you look close? Is that Natalie?”

He glared at Isabella, hands shaking with anger. It wasn’t exactly clear who he was mad at—her, or his wife.

Pretending to be helpful, Isabella stood, pulled her chair out, and started scooping up the scattered photos from the floor. She placed them neatly in front of Jordan.

“Take your time. Don’t jump to conclusions and accuse the wrong person. Remember, you two grew up together. Natalie’s always loved you more than Ethan, otherwise she never would’ve chosen you. Try to trust her, okay? But if it really is her in those photos, then yeah, she’s probably pregnant. The only thing is… whose baby is she having? That’s the part nobody knows.”
