The Triplets My Ex Never Knew About novel Chapter 131

Chapter 131: Chapter 131: Liam Sloan: Bro, How About Some Self-Reflection?

Besides, the results of the paternity test for her and Zachery were out. What was there to be so surprised about?

Zachery was clearly excited. He rubbed his hands together eagerly. "Mommy, actually, back then when you..."

"Young Master, so this is where you were!" Chapman suddenly approached, holding a bundle of sheets. He said apologetically, "Young Master, the new maid is careless. She went into your room and soiled your bed, including the stuffed toy on it."

"It’s quite stained. I’m afraid it will be very difficult to get clean. Would you like to go upstairs and have a look?"

Christian’s face fell.

Seeing Chapman, Zachery stopped talking. He now realized something was amiss. "Young Master, is that stuffed toy really important?"

Christian’s lips tightened. After a few seconds, he replied, "Daddy gave it to me. I’m going to take a look."

Seeing this, Estelle followed him.

Zachery and Mia realized it wasn’t a good time to bring up the test results. Zachery pouted, while Mia shot Chapman a meaningful glance.

"Grandpa Chapman, you should stay indoors more these days. Judging by your features, it looks like you’re in for a streak of terrible luck."

Chapman knew Mia could tell fortunes, but he didn’t give it much thought and simply smiled at the two little ones.

Mia hmphed. ’Chapman’s face really does portend misfortune. His future, which should have been a peaceful and carefree old age, now looks impoverished and plagued by constant bad luck. Besides, Mia had a gut feeling about people, and she felt something about Chapman had changed.’

Zachery was still muttering under his breath, "What a shame. I guess we won’t be able to tell Mommy today..."

Mia was puzzled.

’So, did Grandpa Chapman do that on purpose to stop Zachery from revealing the truth about the paternity test? Or was it really just a coincidence?’

...

「The next day.」

Liam Sloan and Nathaniel Sloan had gone into the study early in the morning for a talk.

Estelle was standing outside the study, lost in thought.

Last night, when Christian saw that the stuffed toy was filthy and torn, his eyes had turned red, and he’d been downcast all evening.

So Estelle had decided to ask Nathaniel where he’d bought the toy. She wanted to get a new one for Christian.

But unexpectedly, the door to Nathaniel’s study remained closed.

...

「Inside the study.」

Love guru Liam Sloan was in the middle of his analysis. "Sister-in-law said it doesn’t matter whether she forgives you. What matters is whether the person she was back then is willing to forgive you."

"But Sister-in-law *is* that person from back then. For her to say that... it clearly means she hasn’t gotten over her hang-ups!"

Nathaniel Sloan’s brow furrowed, his expression practically screaming the three words, ’Isn’t that obvious?’

’If Estelle didn’t try to kill herself back then, why was there a suicide note? And that video... What on earth did she go through that she refuses to tell me about?’

Liam coughed twice. "Ahem. Bro, just listen to me."

"A person’s hang-ups can stem from trauma caused by their circumstances. For example, when the fire broke out five years ago, you didn’t get there in time. And after the fire, you couldn’t find her. So..."

BEEP BEEP BEEP.

Liam’s phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the screen—it was a client from his law firm. He made a hand gesture to Nathaniel.

"Bro, I gotta take this. Work call. Hello? Yes, this is he. Hello, Ms. Seymour. Please, go ahead."
