The Triplets My Ex Never Knew About novel Chapter 146

Chapter 146: Chapter 146: Mr. Sloan, Why Don’t You Be My Secret Lover?

Nathaniel Sloan gently wrapped his arms around her waist. After a long moment, his hoarse laughter finally sounded.

"It would be my honor."

...

Liam Sloan heard about what happened at the hospital and rushed over to Imperial Crest. When no one answered his knock, he let himself in, just in time to hear that sentence.

’Yep, his brother had used every trick in the book to keep his sister-in-law by his side. He seemed gentle and loyal, but the moment she let her guard down, his brother would devour her, leaving not even the bones.’

Then came the line: "Be my secret lover."

And his brother’s reply was, "It would be my honor."

Liam Sloan could only scoff.

’Estelle, how can you be rewarding him for this?!’

Liam was torn, wanting to speak yet holding his tongue, then wanting to speak again. In the end, he couldn’t help but knock on the doorframe. "Ahem!"

Estelle Lockwood and Nathaniel Sloan turned their heads in unison.

Their posture was incredibly intimate. Estelle was completely nestled in his arms, and when she turned her head and saw Liam Sloan, her expression immediately froze.

Nathaniel Sloan, on the other hand, was perfectly composed. His tone didn’t shift in the slightest. "Is there something you need?"

Liam said, "...Haha, no, nothing’s wrong. I just came to see how things are... Well... I’ll leave you two to your private time, then?"

He turned, ready to make a quick escape.

Estelle Lockwood’s eyes narrowed. As she mulled over Nathaniel Sloan’s words, her gaze fell on Liam Sloan, and a brilliant idea suddenly struck her.

"Attorney Sloan, you must have handled plenty of divorce cases. Are you free? We should talk."

She paused for a moment after speaking. "It just occurred to me—I never did get the divorce certificate from Mr. Sloan back then."

Liam Sloan looked like he’d seen a ghost. ’Help my sister-in-law get a divorce?’ He pointed at himself. ’Ah, me?’

Nathaniel Sloan’s eyes narrowed.

Liam Sloan felt a dangerous presence closing in. "Ah, well, I, uh..."

"Mr. Sloan won’t try to stop us, will he?" Estelle Lockwood said, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. "Don’t forget," she added, her gaze fixed on Nathaniel, "you’re still on probation."

Nathaniel Sloan’s expression immediately softened, and the invisible pressure in the room instantly vanished. "Yes. I won’t stop you."

Estelle Lockwood’s smile widened. "Then I’ll be relying on you, Attorney Sloan. Mr. Sloan, go make dinner. Oh, by the way, do you still remember my tastes?"

Nathaniel Sloan replied without a second of hesitation, "You don’t eat scallions, ginger, or anything greasy and spicy. Not too salty, but not too bland either. I’ll remember to season it just right."

Estelle Lockwood was speechless. ’She had said those words on her first day back in the country just to make things difficult for Nathaniel Sloan. Impressive that he actually remembered.’

Nathaniel Sloan nodded and went into the kitchen.

Liam Sloan’s eyes nearly popped out of his head. He stammered, wanting to say something. ’His brother actually went into the kitchen!’

"Is that so strange?" Estelle Lockwood asked coolly.

Liam Sloan immediately shook his head. "No, no, no, not strange at all."

"Mm," Estelle Lockwood said calmly. "I don’t find it strange either."

What else could Liam Sloan say? He could only sit nervously on the sofa, terrified that Estelle would ask him for the fastest and most effective way to get a divorce. How was he supposed to answer that?

But Estelle Lockwood was busy with something on her phone.

Liam Sloan hadn’t meant to look, but he accidentally caught a glimpse and was stunned.

’Was Estelle... ordering takeout?!’

’But his brother was already making dinner. Why would she order takeout?’

"Food delivery services don’t come out to Imperial Crest..."
