The Triplets My Ex Never Knew About novel Chapter 109

Chapter 109: Chapter 109: Based on My Brother’s Stamina, Today, They... Hehe...

"Nathaniel Sloan!"

Estelle Lockwood instantly realized she had been tricked.

The man hummed leisurely. "Yes?"

Estelle Lockwood gritted her teeth. It took her a long moment to force out the words, "...You did that on purpose!"

Nathaniel Sloan didn’t deny it. He swept her up into his arms, placed her on the sofa, and found a blanket to cover her. A smirk played on his lips. "On purpose? Miss Lockwood was the one who told me to put her down. Why are you making a false counter-accusation now?"

Estelle Lockwood turned her head away, refusing to look at him as a storm of emotions churned within her.

Nathaniel Sloan closed in on her, step by step. "Miss Lockwood, aren’t you going to thank me?"

Words caught in Estelle Lockwood’s throat again.

Nathaniel Sloan said slowly, "It was an emergency. Thankfully, I reacted quickly. I didn’t even hold it against you for tricking me, and I helped shield you from everyone’s sight. So, Miss Lockwood... shouldn’t you thank me?"

Estelle Lockwood wasn’t an idiot. He had deliberately emphasized ’you tricking me,’ which was just his way of telling her he was still holding it against her.

Estelle Lockwood smoothed her hair, forcing herself to speak. "I should thank you. But even without Mr. Sloan, I’m sure Mr. Kingston wouldn’t have let me end up in such a situation."

Nathaniel Sloan’s expression turned cold in an instant. "Is that so?"

The smile in his eyes remained, but it didn’t reach their depths. Instead, it was overlaid with a dangerous aura.

"It seems I’ve ruined Miss Lockwood’s fun. In that case, the fault is mine."

Estelle Lockwood ignored the passive-aggressive tone of his words and stood up to get her phone.

She wanted to ask Iris Sloan if she had any suitable clothes, but Nathaniel Sloan grabbed her wrist. "Who are you calling?"

Estelle Lockwood looked up at him, a wave of irritation rising within her. ’Five years ago, he couldn’t have cared less about me. Five years later, we’re strangers. What right does he have to control me?’

So, she deliberately retorted, "If you know you’ve ruined my fun, why haven’t you let go?"

Nathaniel Sloan narrowed his eyes. "You’re looking for Jasper Kingston?"

Estelle Lockwood knew he had misunderstood. She raised an eyebrow. "So what if I am?"

"Heh."

With a cold sneer, the man seemed to laugh in anger. His tall frame suddenly leaned down, enveloping her completely in his embrace.

Before Estelle Lockwood could react, Nathaniel Sloan suddenly reached out and hooked a finger under the strap of her dress.

Panic seized Estelle Lockwood’s heart. "Nathaniel Sloan, what are you doing...?"

"Yara Lockwood, you reject me time and time again, yet you’re always thinking about Jasper Kingston?"

Nathaniel Sloan was unhurried, slowly and deliberately winding the thin strap around his finger, bit by bit.

His action forced her to tilt her head back, making it seem as if she was melting into his embrace.

Her heart pounded like a drum. The intimate gesture made her feel as if she were back five years ago. She desperately wanted to get away. "Nathaniel Sloan, let me go... Ah!"

The man yanked the strap, and the fragile, thin cord snapped instantly.

What neither of them knew was that Liam Sloan was eavesdropping outside.

Liam Sloan was beet red. ’Is this really something a pure, innocent virgin like me should be listening to? Tsk, tsk, tsk. Big brother, you really know how to make things difficult. The banquet is still going on outside, and so many people are waiting for you and sister-in-law to come out, but here you are in the lounge... Tsk, tsk, tsk, hehehe...’

Estelle Lockwood had no idea Liam Sloan had been there, nor did she know what kind of misunderstanding they had caused him.

She was so ashamed and angry she could have died. "Nathaniel Sloan, what are you doing?!"

The thin strap lay in the man’s palm. He chuckled lightly. "I’m laughing at how foolish you are. You were set up, yet you’re blaming me."
