After I Stopped Loving Him novel Chapter 768

Jordan looked miserable.

Natalie reached out and brushed his cheek, her voice soft. “Jordan, just try to hold it together. Don’t start anything with your dad, okay?”

He let out a bitter laugh. “I can’t help it. Has my dad already forgotten about my mom? She was his real wife.”

Natalie sighed and shook her head. “But your mom’s gone. If she were still here, Deborah wouldn't even exist in this family. Jordan, don’t torture yourself with this. Come on, let’s just go inside and have dinner.”

“We have to face this eventually. If we keep avoiding it, we’re just handing everything over to Deborah.”

With Natalie’s gentle words, Jordan managed to hold back his anger. Together, they headed home for dinner.

To their surprise, Isabella and Ethan were already there, having shown up before them.

Isabella hadn’t really wanted to come. But then Deborah called her and said Jordan and Natalie would be there, and mentioned that today was her and Jackson’s marriage registration day.

Isabella had grown up in the Lane family home. Even though her mom and Jackson were divorced, he was remarrying and had invited her for dinner, so she figured she ought to show up for appearances.

Honestly though, Isabella mostly wanted to see Jordan and Natalie suffer a little in front of Deborah. She was curious to see them get all riled up and helpless.

As for Ethan, he only came because Isabella did.

“Jordan, Natalie, finally! We’ve all been waiting for you.”

Deborah heard the car pull up and came out, grinning like she owned the place.

Her smugness made Jordan and Natalie’s skin crawl.

Jordan kept his face blank and walked right past her.

Natalie glanced over at the parked cars and asked, “Those must be Isabella and Ethan’s cars, right? Are they here already?”

Deborah smiled sweetly. “Isabella grew up here, she’s basically family. Since Jackson and I got married today, I thought I’d invite her to dinner, and let Kevin meet her too.”
