The Triplets My Ex Never Knew About novel Chapter 236

Chapter 236: Chapter 236: Estelle Asks with a Smile: Who Are You Waiting For?

Wait, hold on a second.

Shit! How did Nathaniel get here so fast? And where’s Noelle?

Noelle was the one who told him to bring the three little ones over today for an in-person apology. So where is she?

Nathaniel Sloan’s eyes narrowed. "Were you just saying Noelle Lockwood’s name?"

Kian Winslow’s expression froze. He had promised Noelle he’d keep it a secret. "N-No, it’s nothing."

A glint appeared in Estelle Lockwood’s eyes. Her phone buzzed twice. She glanced down, her eyes narrowing slightly, and then let out a soft chuckle. "Nathaniel, as long as Mia and the others are okay, that’s all that matters."

Nathaniel Sloan raised an eyebrow, understanding immediately—there was definitely more to Kian Winslow taking the children than met the eye.

Estelle Lockwood had received a message from Penelope Sullivan.

She was asking if Zachery and Mia had been kidnapped. Estelle paused. Kidnapped? When she’d gotten the call from the driver earlier, for a split second, she had also worried Mia had been kidnapped.

But she quickly realized Mia hadn’t been kidnapped—Kian Winslow didn’t have the guts to abduct the three little ones.

So Estelle was a little stunned, wondering where Penelope’s question came from. Besides, Mia had only been "missing" for a short while, not even an hour... How did Penelope know about this?

Penelope Sullivan was also stunned. [It’s all over the internet. Everyone’s worried sick about Mia and the others’ safety. The police have even been dispatched to search for them.]

Estelle Lockwood realized something was wrong. She pulled up Weibo and took a look, her expression immediately darkening.

—Mia was perfectly fine, yet everyone online was saying the three little ones had been kidnapped, their fate unknown.

’This isn’t normal!’

[I hope the three kids are okay. I’m so worried.]

[That bitch Noelle Lockwood just keeps crying and saying she didn’t kidnap the kids. Bullshit! Someone already called the police. If it wasn’t her, who was it?!]

[Boycott the law-breaking celebrity! Why isn’t Noelle Lockwood in jail yet?!]

[What if Noelle Lockwood refuses to talk? Will they be able to find the kids? I’m so scared the kidnappers will do something to them.]

[I can’t believe it. Austin Lockwood and Rose Lowell won’t talk either. They just keep shouting that they believe Noelle Lockwood, but isn’t Estelle Lockwood their daughter too?]

[The three little ones are their grandchildren! How can they be so cruel? What will happen to such young children in the hands of kidnappers? They might be sold off...]

The online comments grew more and more outrageous, and the police seemed to be cooperating fully, hoping to find the children as soon as possible.

Estelle Lockwood scoffed.

The situation had blown up to this extent, with people calling the police and filming videos, yet how was it that not a single person...

...had contacted her, the children’s legal guardian?

Estelle Lockwood seemed to understand Noelle Lockwood’s plan. While it appeared risky, if it succeeded, it would be... all gain and no pain.

When Kian Winslow saw Estelle Lockwood, he felt a pang in his chest. His memories of this woman were far from pleasant.

"Wh-What do you want...?"

"Nothing much." Estelle Lockwood smoothed her hair and had the three children come back to her side. Then she asked, "Young Mr. Winslow, have you been online?"

Kian Winslow was confused. "No, why?"

Estelle Lockwood smiled. "Since you haven’t been online yet, it’s best you don’t look at the comments for now. Young Mr. Winslow invited my children over as ’guests’... but this doesn’t look much like a guest visit, does it?"

"Besides, even if you were going to invite them as guests, they’re only five years old. Shouldn’t you have at least informed us, their guardians?"

Because of Noelle, Kian Winslow looked down on Estelle Lockwood. Even though Estelle was the true heiress, Noelle had been enduring everything and was constantly bullied. It was only natural that the Lockwood Family didn’t choose Estelle.

Seeing Estelle being so aggressive now, Kian immediately wanted to retort.
