The Triplets My Ex Never Knew About novel Chapter 160

Chapter 160: Chapter 160: Ahem, I’ve Decided to Go Out and Cheat on Him

In the dining room at Imperial Crest, Estelle Lockwood hissed through her teeth. ’Relationship problems...’

She hadn’t even solved her own relationship problems. She was a complete amateur, so how could she give anyone advice?

But Mr. Lynch had helped her so much. It wouldn’t be right to just refuse to help him now.

She and Mr. Lynch were just pen pals, but he was now turning to her, a mere pen pal, for help. That must mean the situation was serious. ’Mr. Lynch has no one else he can turn to!’

Estelle Lockwood immediately felt the weight of responsibility on her shoulders.

Just as she was about to type, she suddenly saw Nathaniel Sloan staring at his phone, his eyes darkening slightly. He seemed to glance at her a few times before turning his grave expression back to his phone.

Estelle Lockwood: "..." ’What’s wrong with this guy? He’s even working hard during a meal. Such a try-hard.’

She looked back at her own phone.

’This is my first time being a relationship coach for an elder. I don’t even know where to start.’

Racking her brain, Estelle Lockwood typed: [Perhaps you could do something to get her attention? Didn’t you say she used to prepare all your meals? Since you’re eating right now, you could say you have no appetite and see how she reacts.]

The moment she put down her phone, there was a stir from across the dining table.

Nathaniel Sloan had only asked for a bowl of congee. Ms. Riddle asked in confusion, "Sir, is that all you’re eating? Can one bowl of congee be enough?"

Nathaniel Sloan’s gaze landed subtly on Estelle Lockwood as he said faintly, "I don’t have much of an appetite."

Ms. Riddle grew anxious. "Sir, you barely ate at noon, and now you’re not eating dinner either. This won’t do! Are you feeling unwell somewhere? Should I have Dr. Zane Grant come take a look?"

Nathaniel Sloan pressed his lips together, observing Estelle Lockwood’s reaction. "Miss Lockwood is a doctor too. Perhaps she can take a look at me?"

Hearing her name, Estelle Lockwood looked up with an "Ah?" "No appetite? There are digestive aid tablets in the second drawer of the TV stand in the living room. Get them yourself."

With that, she went back to looking at her phone.

Nathaniel Sloan: "..."

Estelle Lockwood didn’t have to wait long before Mr. Lynch replied: [She doesn’t care.]

Estelle Lockwood cringed. ’Oh no, what do I do now? It seems I’ve inadvertently disappointed an elder.’ She quickly tried to console him: [It’s okay, take it slow! Sincerity can move mountains. She’ll forgive you one day.]

After sending the message, Estelle Lockwood heard Nathaniel Sloan’s breath hitch, and his chair made a slight noise.

She looked up. ’What’s going on? Why is Nathaniel Sloan acting so strange today?’

Before she could figure it out, a new message from Mr. Lynch arrived.

Lynch: [Sorry, I’ve been going on about my problems. I was wondering, how are things on your end with your ex-husband?]

Estelle Lockwood raised an eyebrow. ’My ex-husband, huh...’ She replied: [Ahem, you know about my ex-husband’s situation, right?]

Lynch: [Yes, an irresponsible scumbag. But for certain reasons, you can’t divorce him just yet.]

Estelle Lockwood felt that Mr. Lynch really understood her: [What do you think his limit is?]

[Don’t be fooled by how he’s going along with everything I want right now. What if some new flame or old love comes along one day? Tsk...]

Nathaniel Sloan frowned.

Lynch: [If he’s that irresponsible, perhaps you should just leave him. Since you want to test his limits, you could try throwing a little tantrum to make him back off.]

Estelle Lockwood’s eyes lit up: [You have a point!]

Nathaniel Sloan was wondering who Estelle Lockwood was chatting with, her fingers tapping away on her phone. ’Is it a business partner?’

Before he could figure it out, Estelle Lockwood put down her chopsticks, raised an eyebrow, and said nonchalantly, "I feel like eating something you’ve cooked, Mr. Sloan. So, Mr. Sloan, what are you going to do about it?"

Nathaniel Sloan’s fingers paused. He lifted his eyelids slightly. "What would you like to eat?"

Without a second of hesitation, Estelle Lockwood started rattling off a list of dishes.
