After I Stopped Loving Him novel Chapter 1163

Natalie's ultimate plan was to force Jordan into a vasectomy the second she gave birth to a son. He would definitely fight it, but she had plenty of ways to ensure he could never produce another child.

She had to guarantee that Jordan's only heirs came from her own womb. That way, his entire fortune would belong exclusively to her children.

Her father-in-law was ancient and still plunging into his third marriage. Who knew if Jordan would follow in his footsteps? Even if he favored his legitimate children now, what if he harbored secret bastards down the line? Over time, his affections could easily shift.

Look at her father-in-law—he blatantly favored his illegitimate offspring. Like father, like son. Natalie had to stay ruthlessly vigilant to secure her future children's empire.

Her mother had urged her to focus solely on recovering, begging her to ignore everything else and stop obsessing over destroying Isabella. The priority was getting her health back so she could quickly give Jordan a baby.

The harsh truth was that Natalie desperately wanted to avoid a divorce.

She knew perfectly well that if she lost Jordan, finding another man of his caliber would be nearly impossible. Over the years, her reputation among the city's elite circles had rotted completely.

Countless people whispered that she was a manipulative phony.

She stubbornly convinced herself they were just jealous because she had two childhood friends who spoiled and protected her.

To avoid divorce, she had to sink her claws into Jordan permanently. Unless Ethan miraculously offered to marry her, she was never letting go. That made securing a child with Jordan her most desperate priority.

And she was terrified.

If York hadn't mailed those photos to Isabella, and if Isabella hadn't handed them to Jordan to plant seeds of doubt about the baby's paternity, Natalie would have gambled everything to carry the child to term.

What if it actually had been Jordan's flesh and blood?

*Sigh.*

She genuinely yearned to be a mother.

Two pregnancies, and she had lost them both.

Was she truly destined to be barren?

While she cursed Isabella out loud, deep down she knew the true monster was York.
