The Triplets My Ex Never Knew About novel Chapter 273

Chapter 273: Chapter 273: Aunt York, Apologize

Thea York subconsciously wanted to stop him.

Christian had already stepped forward and warmly taken Scott York’s arm.

He had a child’s innocence on his face, but a flash of cunning glinted in his eyes.

"What do you mean, ’stealing a room’? I invited Scott to come play in my room. Aunt York, are you mistaken?"

At this, all the other parents turned to look at Thea York.

Thea York’s expression stiffened. She forced an awkward laugh. "What?"

Christian tilted his head. "Scott and I are classmates, so I invited him to play in my room. Zachery and Mia heard me just now, too. So why did Aunt York say Scott was trying to steal my room?"

Thea York never imagined that her usual trick would fail today.

Usually, whenever she blamed Scott York, someone would feel sorry for her. ’What a tragedy. The original wife’s grandson, and now Thea York has to take care of him.’

Seeing the other parents’ expressions grow stranger and stranger, Thea York immediately took a deep breath. "Oh, so that’s how it is. Christian, I didn’t realize you and Scott were friends."

"We are." Christian looked calmly at Thea York. "That’s why I find it strange. His friend here didn’t misunderstand, but his own relative, Aunt York, ignored the truth and immediately started blaming Scott."

"Logically, shouldn’t you be happy to see us standing together, happy that Scott made a new friend? Why did you start scolding Scott without even asking what happened?"

"You’re Scott’s aunt. How can you have so little faith in him?"

The corner of Thea York’s eye twitched.

"I’m sorry, it’s because Scott has previously..."

Christian stared at her coldly. "Is that so? Now that you know you were wrong, Aunt York, aren’t you going to apologize?"

Thea York’s face flushed red, then went pale.

’Apologize to that idiot Scott?!’

One of the parents frowned slightly. "Miss York, you misunderstood the child. What’s so hard about saying you’re sorry?"

"From what I’ve seen, Scott York doesn’t seem as terrible as you described, Miss York... He’s been quiet for the entire two-hour trip, hasn’t he?"

"That’s right. He hasn’t been loud or disruptive, and he doesn’t seem to be deliberately bullying his classmates either."

"The past is the past. Even if Scott York bullied classmates before, today, you’re the one who misunderstood, Miss York."

Christian shielded Scott York behind him and said flatly, "Aunt York, apologize."

Thea York clenched her fists tightly. In her heart, she added another mark against Scott York, but her face showed nothing but helplessness.

"I’m sorry, Scott. Your aunt was mistaken. It’s all my fault..."

Scott York gave Thea York a strange look before Christian pulled him aside with a smile.

"Scott must be very upset after being wrongly accused like that. He can have lunch with us today. You wouldn’t mind, would you, Aunt York?"

Thea York gritted her teeth and forced a stiff smile. "Of course not."

Without even glancing at Thea York, Christian led Scott York directly into his room.

Estelle Lockwood sensed something was off. She gently stroked Mia’s head and asked in a low voice, "Does Scott York usually bully you guys?"

Before Mia could speak, Zachery had already clenched his fists. "He does!"

Estelle Lockwood remembered how Scott York had charged straight at Mia at the kindergarten entrance two hours ago.

He had looked like a malicious, fierce, and savage brat.

But his eyes had been filled with confusion and panic.

Scott York looked at Christian, his whole body radiating resistance. Zachery and Mia were huddled together. Mia asked, confused, "Why did the young master bring him back?"

Zachery, the young master’s number one fan, piped up, "The young master must have his reasons for doing this!"

Mia looked at the space between Scott York’s eyebrows and suddenly frowned.

The reason she didn’t like playing with Scott York wasn’t that he was a bully, but because she thought he was a super big idiot.

’Mommy said that if you hang out with idiots, you’ll become a little idiot too.’

But before, the space between Scott York’s brows had been clear. Now, it was shrouded in a black mist. Having learned divination and face-reading from her Little Grandpa, she could tell a thing or two—Scott York was clearly about to have some seriously bad luck.

Mia leaned closer. The more she looked, the more wrong it seemed. She muttered to herself in confusion, "No matter how I look at it, it spells disaster. What kind of disaster could happen here?"

Scott York remained seated to the side. He heard Mia’s voice but didn’t move a muscle. To an outsider, he just looked like a rude little fatty.

Christian, however, narrowed his eyes. He rested his chin on his arms and watched Scott York intently.

"Scott, the York Family has so many people. Why was it Thea York, of all people, who brought you on this autumn outing?"

Scott York looked up at Christian but said nothing.

Although Christian was only five, he had perfectly inherited all of Nathaniel Sloan’s best qualities.

When he looked at someone calmly, he exuded a natural air of authority without being angry.

"Scott, you know what Thea York is going to do next, don’t you?"

Christian’s tone shifted. "You’re after Mia."

Mia, who had been watching the drama unfold from the sidelines, was taken aback. ’Huh? Me?’
