The Triplets My Ex Never Knew About novel Chapter 132

Chapter 132: Chapter 132: Estelle Lockwood Goes to Buy Couple’s Watches

It took Liam Sloan a couple of seconds to realize what he had just said, and his head started to spin.

"No, that’s not what I meant! Ha, Bro, just forget I said anything. Yeah, total nonsense."

To his surprise, Nathaniel looked at him intently, his voice hoarse. "This Ms. Seymour... does she really want a divorce?"

Liam Sloan didn’t understand why his brother was asking, but he was just relieved Nathaniel wasn’t dwelling on his earlier slip of the tongue.

"Of course she does. Her husband keeps saying he loves her, but as outsiders, we can’t see any love at all. Ms. Seymour is trying everything she can to get a divorce. Honestly, if it weren’t for the kids, she would’ve been long gone."

Nathaniel lowered his gaze, lost in thought.

After a long moment, he said in a raspy voice, "Help her. If the Draper family causes any trouble, tell them it was my idea."

The client, Ms. Seymour, had married into the Draper family—a prominent name in high society—which was why her divorce was so difficult. But with Nathaniel Sloan’s help, things would be different.

Liam Sloan fell silent.

’Wait, Bro, are you projecting?’

But he couldn’t say that out loud.

’Then again,’ he thought, ’Ms. Seymour’s situation isn’t exactly the same as my sister-in-law’s. Ms. Seymour’s husband genuinely fools around and sleeps with countless women, but my brother is completely devoted to his wife!’

Nathaniel seemed lost in his own world. As the study fell quiet, Liam Sloan cautiously broke the silence and changed the subject.

"By the way, Bro, how did you get that surveillance footage?"

Estelle Lockwood, who had been about to knock, heard this very question.

Nathaniel didn’t hide it from Liam. "I restored it. The surveillance footage was destroyed, but the underlying files were still there. It just took time to recover, which is why it was delayed by three days."

Liam went, "Oh, right. You do know how to do that sort of thing."

Estelle froze. ’Nathaniel restored it himself?’

’But Nathaniel told me someone gave it to him. He didn’t mention himself at all.’

’If Nathaniel went to all that trouble to restore the surveillance video, then maybe... what he said was true. He hadn’t been covering for Noelle Lockwood in this matter.’

Estelle recalled how she had given him the cold shoulder and stormed off after the press conference, and a blush of embarrassment crept onto her cheeks.

’It seems I misunderstood Nathaniel... So... what should I do now?’

"Sister-in-law?!" Liam heard a sound at the door and opened it, his eyes widening in surprise. "N-no, I mean, Miss Lockwood!"

Estelle got straight to the point. "That doll on Christian’s bed, where did you buy it?"

Nathaniel paused for two seconds. "Celestar Commercial Center."

"Oh." Having her answer, Estelle prepared to leave. But suddenly, Liam’s words replayed in her mind: ’Bro, so you were the one who restored the video!’

Estelle felt as if her feet were glued to the floor.

She remained silent for a long moment before clearing her throat, about to ask if Nathaniel needed anything she could pick up for him.

Before she could speak, she noticed Nathaniel’s wrist was bare.

Estelle’s mind raced. "Where’s your watch?"

The man lowered his gaze, his expression calm. "It broke."

Estelle’s eyes darted around as an idea popped into her head.

’Nathaniel’s watch is broken, so doesn’t that mean he needs a new one?’

’I can go to the mall and buy him a watch. That would be a good way to thank him!’

Nathaniel raised an eyebrow, watching as Estelle’s expression shifted from hesitant and uncertain to a sudden, blooming smile.

’What... just happened?’
