After I Stopped Loving Him novel Chapter 1206

Ethan answered Jordan's incoming call.

"Jordan, what's wrong?"

"Ethan, is Natalie still at your place?"

Jordan's voice was frantic, bordering on sheer panic.

Ethan frowned. "She left a long time ago. She walked out right as I was calling you earlier. Why? Hasn't she made it home? Maybe she went out, or went to see her mom. Can't you just call her?"

Jordan breathed out, his voice shaking. "We're screwed. It's really her."

"Jordan, what the hell are you talking about?"

Jordan spoke rapidly. "Natalie sent me a text. She said the police dragged her in for questioning. She claims she was set up, that someone framed her. I tried calling her back, but it went straight to voicemail."

"I thought maybe it was one of those scam texts, which is why I called you to see if she was still there. I already checked with Cynthia, and she hasn't been to her mom's house either."

"If the cops actually took her in, God knows what kind of mess she's dragged us into this time. I told her to just stay home and rest, but she refuses to listen!"

Despite the massive cracks in their marriage, Jordan still cared deeply about his wife.

The thought of her sitting in an interrogation room, screaming about being framed, had his nerves completely frayed.

"What did she do this time? Did she go after Isabella again and finally get herself arrested?"

Ethan hadn't connected the dots between Natalie's arrest and Barbara's kidnapping.

Given the Carter family's strict information blackout, very few people knew about the abduction. Jordan, lacking the vast intelligence network of the Adams family, was completely in the dark.

"Wait, that doesn't make sense. She couldn't have run into Isabella today."

Ethan corrected himself.

Isabella had left early that morning for a beach getaway. Only when Barbara was taken did Harold and Isabella cancel their trip and rush back to the Carter estate.
