The Triplets My Ex Never Knew About novel Chapter 159

Chapter 159: Chapter 159: Nathaniel Sloan Teaches Her How to Screw Himself Over

Back then, her body had just recovered. Mrs. Kendrick encouraged her to do something she enjoyed, so Estelle Lockwood resumed developing perfumes.

She was a stranger in a strange land in the USA, and her original partnership had been snatched away. As it happened, that Mr. Lynch found out she was also from Innerland and, after a casual inquiry, helped her out.

After that, they exchanged contact information.

When Mr. Lynch learned she was a single mother with two children, he even asked if she needed any help.

The night before she returned to her country, she sent Mr. Lynch a message telling him she was going back.

Mr. Lynch replied with two words: [All the best.]

The two of them never contacted each other again after that.

Now that she’d had her revenge and the truth was out, she felt she had to tell Mr. Lynch, lest the old gentleman worry.

So, Estelle Lockwood opened her laptop, logged into her email, and very seriously composed a message.

[Mr. Lynch, I have some good news to share. I’ve taken care of my business.]

[From now on, I’ll be in my own country and won’t have to live under a false name.]

[Thank you for all your help over the years. If you ever need anything, please don’t hesitate to contact me. If it’s within my power, I will definitely help you. I wish you a happy life.]

After Estelle Lockwood sent it, a great weight was lifted from her heart.

She had the strange feeling she was reporting her academic progress to an elder.

It was probably because Mr. Lynch had come across as so strict and proper over the years. A single glance from him could make his subordinates tremble in fear, and no one ever dared to bully her, a fellow native of Innerland, again. He must be a man of high status and power.

Theoretically, people with high status and power aren’t usually very young. Add to that the hints in his words—’my wife passed away, life is dull’—and his frequent concern about whether Estelle Lockwood’s life was going smoothly and if she needed help. Estelle Lockwood’s first impression was clear: ’This man is definitely an elder.’

Even if he wasn’t old enough to be her grandfather, he was at least from her parents’ generation.

When addressing an elder, Estelle Lockwood’s typing even carried a trace of reverence. Besides, Mr. Lynch didn’t often reply to her previous messages, so after sending it, Estelle didn’t give it much thought.

But to her surprise, this time, she got an instant reply!

[Lynch: Good that it’s taken care of.]

[Lynch: You’re in the country?]

Estelle Lockwood was shocked!

This was the first time Mr. Lynch had ever asked about her personal details. But this elder had helped her so much, so Estelle Lockwood wasn’t suspicious and replied: [Yes, I’ve decided to settle down here in the country for now. Is there something you need, Mr. Lynch?]

...

Nathaniel Sloan’s lips tightened into a thin line.

This ’Miss Kendrick’ who was messaging him was someone he’d met in the USA. He knew Miss Kendrick was a single mother with two children who wanted to divorce her scumbag ex-husband but hadn’t succeeded. That’s why she had gone abroad to live under an assumed name, terrified her ex-husband would find her and the children and take them away.

Nathaniel Sloan’s mind raced.

Although their separation, looking back now, was Laura Jennings’s fault, Rose Lowell’s fault, and Noelle Lockwood’s fault...

...Nathaniel Sloan knew that he hadn’t been good enough.

If he had never let Estelle Lockwood suffer, if he had realized his own feelings sooner, perhaps he and Estelle Lockwood wouldn’t be in this situation today.

That being the case, he had to change.

However, as the saying goes, ’it’s hard to see the whole picture when you’re in the middle of it.’ He was too involved and might not see what was wrong, so he could ask someone else—

Since this Miss Kendrick was trying by any means possible to divorce her ex-husband, then her ex-husband must have done something wrong.

Nathaniel Sloan could ask her what she thought was wrong with her ex-husband, then compare it to himself, find the commonalities, and correct them.

At this thought, Nathaniel Sloan asked: [Last year, you said you were always trying to get a divorce. Since you’ve chosen to settle in the country now, does that mean you’re divorced?]
