The Triplets My Ex Never Knew About novel Chapter 121

Chapter 121: Chapter 121: Nathaniel Sloan Finds Out Zachery Is His Biological Son

Nathaniel Sloan paused, raising an eyebrow slightly. "You’re... not at Evernight Tower?"

Estelle Lockwood twirled a pen between her fingertips and said coolly, "If your eyes are failing you, go get them checked."

’So I was mistaken?’

Nathaniel didn’t dwell on it, naturally changing the subject. "Would I have the honor of inviting Miss Lockwood to dinner?"

Estelle refused without a second thought.

Nathaniel let out a low chuckle. "Mia and Zachery are here too."

Estelle: "..."

Estelle gritted her teeth. "Mr. Sloan, are you aware that you currently sound a lot like a kidnapper?"

Nathaniel was noncommittal.

After hanging up, he carried the cake back to his office. Before he even entered, he saw ’Zachery’ sitting with a perfectly straight back at the coffee table, reading a document.

The document was already expired and was supposed to have been disposed of, but Nathaniel had been in a hurry when he left and had tossed it onto the coffee table in the reception area.

Seeing ’Zachery’ reading it so intently, Nathaniel felt a momentary daze.

He kept feeling as if he were looking at Christian.

No... rather, Zachery and Christian were very similar.

’But they have completely different personalities. How can they be so alike?’

The two little ones in the office clearly hadn’t noticed Nathaniel’s return and were talking.

’Zachery’ was still looking at the document. Mia leaned in. "Can you understand that?"

’Zachery’ nodded. "It’s not hard."

Mia took a serious look, and her head immediately started to spin. She was deeply impressed. "This isn’t hard?"

"Mm," ’Zachery’ said, as if he genuinely thought nothing of it. His tone was serious. "But this document should be expired. The quoted price on it doesn’t align with the budget."

’Zachery has such a keen sense for business?’ Nathaniel subconsciously raised an eyebrow.

Mia tilted her head and leaned closer to ask, "Why?"

’Zachery’ explained patiently, "A land plot quoted at forty-five thousand per square meter is a bit high. You have to understand, a plot of land and a house are not the same concept. The profit margins and room for growth in real estate are currently declining. Winning the bid for the land at forty-five thousand and then building commercial housing on it is too risky."

Mia was surprised. "But aren’t housing prices really high right now?"

’Zachery’ shook his head. "It still depends on demand. For this lot, in this location, if you were to build a high-rise of over twenty floors with units over a hundred square meters, that would mean..."

Mia was completely lost. She couldn’t understand a single word the Young Master was saying. ’We’re the same age, both five years old, so why does everything the Young Master says sound like a foreign language?’

Nathaniel listened from the doorway for a while. ’Zachery’ actually understood all this! ’Did he study it specifically?’

If it were Christian analyzing this contract so coherently, Nathaniel wouldn’t have been surprised.

But... as far as he knew, Zachery had never been exposed to this kind of thing abroad, and he wasn’t interested in business either. How did he know so much?

A smile touched Nathaniel’s lips. ’If Zachery is genuinely interested in this, it wouldn’t be a bad idea for me to teach him.’

Just as he was about to step into the office, Mia suddenly put down the contract, flopped onto the sofa, and let out a frustrated cry:

"Agh! I can’t understand it at all! Let’s stop looking at it. Why isn’t Uncle Sloan back yet? I’m so bored, Young Master—"

Nathaniel’s steps froze. He snapped his head up!

’Young Master?’

Mia never called Zachery "Young Master." However, Nathaniel had heard Mia call Christian "Young Master" many times.

Then, he saw that ’Zachery’ on the sofa showed not the slightest surprise at being called ’Young Master’!

’Zachery’ turned around, a helpless look on his face. "If you’re bored, should I take you for a walk somewhere else?"
