The Triplets My Ex Never Knew About novel Chapter 103

Chapter 103: Chapter 103: That Child Noelle Lockwood Was Pregnant With...

Ethan Sloan probably thought Nathaniel Sloan was listening, so he continued:

"In short, you and Estelle Lockwood are not a good match. I will never acknowledge her, whether she’s dead or alive!"

The other end of the line went silent.

After a long moment, Nathaniel Sloan finally spoke, his voice slow.

"Estelle Lockwood’s status doesn’t need your acknowledgment. Father, if Mother is truly so idle that she must meddle in the Lockwood family’s affairs, I can find a temple for her to go and quiet her mind."

Ethan Sloan choked. "Nathaniel!"

’Back when he married Estelle Lockwood, Nathaniel was clearly unwilling. What on earth has happened to him!’

Ethan Sloan knew that saying any more would be useless, so he changed the subject to persuade him:

"When you’re out, at least don’t be so heartless to Noelle. She saved your life when you were children, and five years ago, she lost her own baby to save Christian. She’s given so much. Even if you don’t love her, you can’t treat her like this!"

"Nathaniel, a debt for saving a life must be repaid. She saved not only you but also your son. Think about it!"

After hanging up, Nathaniel Sloan’s lips tightened into a thin line, his eyes darkening abruptly.

Luke White, who had been listening from the side, was left speechless and couldn’t help but sigh.

He had been by his boss’s side since they were young, so he naturally knew what Ethan Sloan was talking about.

When his boss was fifteen, he was gravely injured, and a young girl saved him.

He later learned that the little girl was the treasured daughter of the Lockwood family, Noelle Lockwood.

From then on, to repay Noelle Lockwood, the Sloan Family funneled countless resources to the Lockwood family, allowing them to ascend and become one of Crestfall’s elite families.

After Noelle Lockwood entered the entertainment industry, Nathaniel Sloan cleared the path for her. Resources, endorsements, film and television roles, variety shows... as long as Noelle set her sights on it, he would help her get it.

Privately, the luxury cars, designer watches, and mansions were too numerous to count. All of this was to repay the debt for saving his life.

That continued until he got married.

In truth, after the marriage, the debt had been fully repaid. He couldn’t let Noelle Lockwood hold the life-saving favor over his head forever. His willingness to help the Lockwood family at that time was mostly for his wife’s sake.

It was a pity that incident happened later on...

Once, Laura Jennings and Noelle Lockwood were traveling together when Noelle was assaulted by a stranger and became pregnant. Overcome with guilt, Laura did everything she could to protect Noelle, even going so far as to pressure Nathaniel Sloan into claiming the child as his own.

Laura Jennings begged him relentlessly, and the Lockwood family brought up the life-saving favor again. He promised this would be the last thing he did to help Noelle Lockwood, and after that, the debt would be canceled.

Luke White stopped his train of thought there. His boss’s family matters weren’t something a mere employee could meddle in. It was just that after hearing Ethan Sloan’s call today, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of injustice for Estelle Lockwood.

Snapping back to the present, he saw that school was letting out at the kindergarten.

Luke White could already see Estelle Lockwood walking out with the three little ones.

He was just about to ask something when he saw Nathaniel Sloan had already turned around. "Let’s go home first."

Luke White had no choice but to follow.

...

「Two days later, at the Sloan family banquet.」

As the only son of the head of the Sloan Group, Christian Sloan was naturally required to make an appearance. Zachery worried that the young master wouldn’t like such an occasion and offered to go in his place.

But after careful consideration, Christian shook his head.

The Sloan family was enormous. With so many people came so many problems. Zachery was being kind, but Christian couldn’t let him get into trouble.

...

Estelle Lockwood was getting ready to go to the banquet.

But before she left, she found her invitation was missing.
