After I Stopped Loving Him novel Chapter 982

“Jackson, let it go. Natalie has never liked me, and she sure doesn’t like Kevin. She thinks Kevin being here means he’s taking away what should rightfully belong to Jordan. If we hadn’t had Kevin, everything would’ve gone to Jordan.”

“Natalie’s married to Jordan. Of course they’re united, I get that. But she treats every stepmother the same, whether it’s me or Cynthia. There’s just no way she could ever accept us.”

“Any time you show a little kindness to Kevin or me, they get jealous, worried we’re going to end up with everything.”

“But Jackson, I honestly have no intention of fighting for the inheritance. I just want to be with you. I want to spend our lives together, and all I want for Kevin is a loving, stable family. You’ve already given us more than enough. Kevin and I are never going to struggle.”

“I could explain it a thousand times, but nobody’s ever going to believe me. Cynthia was the same. She spent twenty years in this family, and Jordan and Natalie still never really accepted her. Every time you gave her something, they’d scheme to take it right back.”

“You and Cynthia never had kids, so they never felt so threatened. But once you had Kevin with me, suddenly they’re terrified. They think Kevin’s going to steal your love, your fortune. To them, we’re just a problem they wish would go away.”

“Don’t forget, Jackson, you were the one who wanted Kevin in the first place. You told me he was the child you’d been waiting for, that you loved me, truly loved me, and you promised you’d always care for us.”

“It takes two people to mess things up. You can’t just blame everything on me because you had an affair. If you want to put it on me, fine, I can handle that. But I can’t keep letting them insult me, or Kevin.”

“Natalie said I shouldn’t think I’m special just because I have a son, that there’s no guarantee he’ll even grow up. How could she say something so cruel? She’s basically cursing Kevin.”
