After I Stopped Loving Him novel Chapter 1121

"Logically, she should be the one hating you," Jordan pointed out softly. "You're still hung up on Ethan, aren't you? I know you loved him. But you married me, you got me, and Ethan refused to touch you. Since you couldn't have him, you refused to let Isabella have him either. That's why you're so jealous. That's why you're trying to destroy her."

The forbidden fruit was always the sweetest.

Jordan understood that perfectly well.

Natalie would probably never have Ethan in this lifetime. Because Ethan loved Isabella, Natalie's hatred for the woman had consumed her.

"Are you blaming me, Jordan? Are you taking her side now? What, do you suddenly see her as your precious little sister?" Natalie sneered. "Don't forget, you were the one who treated her the worst. You were the brother who inflicted the most pain on her."

Jordan didn't take the bait. He looked at her steadily before speaking. "Do you remember when we were kids? You constantly whispered poison about Cynthia and Isabella in my ear. I was actually thrilled to have a cute new sister at first."

"But you kept telling me my dad was going to love Isabella more and forget about me. You said she was stealing my father's love. You told me Cynthia only cared about her biological daughter and that having a stepmother meant having a stepfather."

"That's why I started treating Isabella like trash. That's why I stole her mother's attention."

Natalie fell silent.

"Isabella and I were brother and sister for twenty years. No blood relation, sure, but twenty years under the same roof... it's only right she called me her brother."

"I did all of that for you, Jordan! And now you're turning this around on me? It's true—having a stepmother means having a stepfather. Look at him now! Does he still love you? His bias is completely off the charts."

"If your uncle hadn't forced Cynthia to tie her tubes, she would have had a kid with your dad, and both you and Isabella would have been thrown out on the street. I was protecting you! I secured your father's loyalty, and now you have the nerve to blame me for ruining your bond with Isabella?"
