The Triplets My Ex Never Knew About novel Chapter 272

Chapter 272: Chapter 272: Christian Was Surprised: "Aunt York, What Are You Talking About?

Thea York ran to Scott York’s side, apologizing profusely. "I’m sorry, I’m so sorry. This child of ours, he... Scott, get back here!"

When the other parents saw Thea York, their expressions soured for a moment.

Although the York Family had been on the decline in recent years and was plagued by scandals, they were still a force to be reckoned with. These parents couldn’t afford to offend them.

’But the York Family has gone too far! They don’t raise their children properly, letting a York kid run around bullying people!’

Thea York sighed in resignation. "Mia, are you all right? Scott, apologize to Mia this instant."

Scott York kept the same cold, disgusted look on his face.

Thea York looked as if she wanted to hit or scold him but couldn’t bring herself to do it. "Sigh... this child, really..."

"Mommy!" Mia suddenly called out.

A thought seemed to flash through Thea York’s mind as she turned around, her demeanor instantly warm and affectionate. "Estelle, you’re here! I was just about to apologize to Mia."

Estelle Lockwood raised an eyebrow slightly and bent down to pick Mia up. "What’s wrong?"

Mia wanted to say it was nothing. ’I’m not going to argue with a little brat like Scott York who obviously has issues.’

But before she could say a word, Thea York spoke up.

It was as if she wanted to announce to the world that Scott York had problems, that he was a bad kid.

"Estelle, I’m truly sorry. Scott is spoiled rotten, and he was just bullying Mia... Sigh. Scott, aren’t you going to apologize?"

Scott York completely ignored her.

Thea York tried to smooth things over with a helpless air. "Estelle, I’m so, so sorry. Scott is used to being the center of the universe at home. If we don’t let him have his way, he’ll throw an epic tantrum—crying, screaming, the whole nine yards. We’re at our wit’s end, so we can only spoil him..."

One of the parents scoffed, "Spoiling him is your family’s business, but it’s not right to let him out to bully others! We’re not his parents, so why should we have to put up with your kid?"

"No, that’s not it. I’m sorry." Thea York looked as though she had been deeply wronged yet was choosing to bear it in silence. "He’s my eldest brother’s son, and my brother, well... sigh. That’s why my parents feel like they owe the boy, so they spoil him rotten. But who would have thought..."

As she spoke, Thea York began apologizing again. "Estelle, Mia, I’m truly sorry. Scott lost his parents at a young age, after all. As his aunt, I’ve probably been too lenient with him as well, sigh..."

The onlookers were taken aback and instinctively exchanged glances.

’Thea York’s older brother?’

’That’s right... Thea York did have an older brother. He was the son of the original Mrs. York, but he died in an accident long ago.’

’There were even rumors that this ’accidental death’ was orchestrated by the current Mrs. York, who started as the mistress.’

’But if the York Family is spoiling Young Mr. York’s son out of guilt, they couldn’t have been the ones who drove Young Mr. York to his death, right...?’

’Besides, Young Mr. York and Thea York had different mothers. So now, when Young Mr. York’s son makes a mistake, it’s Thea York who has to come and clean up the mess? This is...’

A faint smile touched Thea York’s lips.

’Mom was right. Scott York is an idiot. I raised him to be completely useless long ago.’

’The York Family has a bad reputation right now, so this is the perfect opportunity to use Scott York to clean up our image!’

Thea York glanced over the crowd from the corner of her eye, unable to suppress a feeling of smugness. Just then, a tall, slender figure caught her eye. "Nathaniel..."

Nathaniel Sloan took Mia from Estelle Lockwood’s arms, not even sparing Thea York a glance. "Come on, let Daddy hold you."

Thea York bit her lip, but her expression quickly softened into one of gentle grace.

’There’s plenty of time, anyway. And as for what’s going to happen at the village... I’ve already made the arrangements.’

...

Soon, the kindergarten bus set off. Two hours later, they arrived at the destination for their autumn field trip.

Farm-to-table getaways have become very popular with city dwellers in recent years, with many people eager to experience authentic village life.

As a result, the accommodations here were all guesthouse-style establishments.
