The Triplets My Ex Never Knew About novel Chapter 139

Chapter 139: Chapter 139: Where Is Nathaniel Sloan? Get Him on the Phone

Zachery’s whole face scrunched up.

’And what Chapman just said... was I just imagining it?’

’At first, it sounded like he was comforting Mom, but every word only revealed just how special that scumbag dad thought Noelle Lockwood was.’

’Wasn’t that just adding fuel to the fire?’

The more Zachery thought about it, the angrier he became. ’That scumbag dad ditched Mom again, and they still want to play matchmaker? What’s the point? He’s not worth it!’

Zachery stormed upstairs, shoved the door open, and packed away all the disguise tools. "Change of plans. The matchmaking is off, Young Master. We don’t need to swap identities anymore."

Christian was taken aback. "Zachery, what’s wrong?"

Zachery fought to control his anger. He and Christian were both still in disguise. As he washed the makeup off his face and changed his clothes, revealing his true features, he said, "The whole point of setting them up was for Mom to be happy, not for her to suffer."

"Nathaniel Sloan is some hot prize we can’t win, so let’s just stop trying. As for him being our real dad... I’ll have to ask you to keep that a secret, Young Master."

As he spoke, Zachery started helping Christian change clothes. "We can still be friends from now on, but we don’t have to be brothers. I don’t want Mom to be forced into being with that man just because Mia and I exist!"

Christian was completely bewildered, unable to process what was happening.

They had decided to finally tell their mom the truth today, which was why they had swapped identities so early in the morning.

But now, as Zachery pulled at him and changed their clothes back, Christian began to panic. "Zachery, tell me what happened! Where’s Daddy?"

Zachery scoffed. "Who knows? Probably in Noelle Lockwood’s bed."

Christian’s eyes slowly widened.

’Daddy... where is he?’

"There." Zachery finished changing Christian’s clothes. "We don’t have to pretend anymore. I guess it won’t be long before Mia and I move out of Imperial Crest anyway. I’ll cherish the time we had, Young Master."

Zachery knew his mom’s personality. After this incident, she would surely stop getting entangled with Nathaniel Sloan. Once she had her revenge, she would cut all ties and leave.

Utter disbelief filled Christian’s clear eyes.

’Daddy went to find Noelle Lockwood... Zachery is going to leave... ’

Shaking his head, he slowly backed out of his room. Then his pace quickened, and he sprinted into the master bedroom.

Nathaniel Sloan wasn’t there. He really wasn’t!

His daddy wasn’t home!

It was early in the morning, but his daddy wasn’t home. Christian could clearly hear what Chapman was saying downstairs, and his heart seized in his chest.

The joy from last night intertwined with the helplessness of this morning, and tears slowly welled up and fell.

The tears fell faster and faster. ’Why is this happening? Why? Everything was going so well... We were at the very last step...’

’Noelle Lockwood... It’s Noelle Lockwood again. Why is it always her!’

Christian clutched his chest as an uncontrollable wave of sorrow washed over him. His chest tightened, and his breathing grew ragged.

"Christian, what are you doing... Christian?!"

Startled, Estelle Lockwood rushed forward, her expression turning grave. "What happened?!"

Christian’s eyes were red and welling with tears. "Daddy... Daddy..."

As a child psychologist, Estelle Lockwood knew Christian was suffering from heart palpitations brought on by the extreme emotional swing. The sight of him was enough to break her heart.

"Christian, sweetie, are you looking for your daddy? Okay, don’t worry, I’ll call him right now."

Christian wept silently.
