The Triplets My Ex Never Knew About novel Chapter 39

Chapter 39: Chapter 39: Sweating Yet, Ex-Hubby?

Nathaniel Sloan wasn’t deliberately waiting here. He had just gotten home himself and heard the sound of a car braking before he could even walk through the door.

He turned around and saw Estelle Lockwood and the three children getting out of the car.

For a fleeting moment, he had the strange illusion that they were a family...

However, that illusion was shattered by Henry Kendrick.

Henry Kendrick walked up with a smile, extending his hand for a shake. "Well, well, Mr. Sloan. We haven’t seen each other since the last time we saw each other. I’ve come uninvited, hope you don’t mind? I was just dropping Yara and the kids home, and since it’s getting late, I thought I’d freeload a meal off you."

Without waiting for Nathaniel Sloan to respond, he immediately lowered his head, looking like a pitiful puppy.

"Why aren’t you saying anything, Mr. Sloan? Was I being too presumptuous? I’m sorry, I just wanted to get to know Yara’s friends. I didn’t realize you’d mind my presence so much. It’s all my fault."

Estelle Lockwood: "..."

Nathaniel Sloan’s brow furrowed. He felt like Henry Kendrick was making veiled accusations. "Vice President Kendrick..."

Henry Kendrick immediately cut him off. "What’s wrong? Why the frown, Mr. Sloan? Don’t you like the way I talk? That can’t be right. I heard you have a thing for the ’green tea’ types, and I’m a professional. Isn’t that right, Yara? Oh, what are we all doing standing at the door? Let’s go in."

With that, Henry Kendrick walked right in as if he owned the place.

He was completely at ease, acting as if Imperial Crest was his own home. "Yara, this place is really nice. I’ll come visit you often from now on. I’m sure Mr. Sloan won’t mind if one of Yara’s male friends moves in to keep her company, right?"

Henry Kendrick emphasized the words "male friends."

A vein throbbed on Nathaniel Sloan’s temple. He had no idea why Henry Kendrick was so hostile toward him.

Watching from the side, Luke White was filled with mixed feelings.

’This... Vice President Kendrick is a ’green tea’ too! He’s even more of a ’green tea’ than Noelle Lockwood!’

It was dinnertime, and since Henry Kendrick was the vice president of Star Group, Nathaniel Sloan had no good reason to kick him out.

As they sat at the dining table, Estelle Lockwood kicked Henry Kendrick’s leg under the table, giving him a look that said: ’Stop fooling around.’

Henry Kendrick pretended not to notice.

He had personally witnessed how much Estelle Lockwood had loved this man during her five years with the Kendrick Family.

Even after she was covered in scars and nearly lost her life, it still took her a very long time to let go of those feelings.

When she first arrived, she was afraid to sleep in the dark, terrified of thunder, and scared of anything related to fire.

It was Old Mr. Kendrick, Mr. Kendrick, and Mrs. Kendrick who stayed by her side, helping her recover over the course of nearly three years.

The Kendrick Family doted on Estelle Lockwood as if she were their own daughter. The eldest young master of the Kendrick Family treated her like a real sister, and Henry Kendrick, who had accompanied her back to the country for her revenge, also considered her his own family.

Confronted with the man who had hurt her so deeply, Henry Kendrick had no intention of letting him off the hook!

Henry Kendrick started criticizing the dishes on the table. "This food isn’t that great. Yara, is this what the Sloan Family usually feeds you?"

Mia and Zachery exchanged a look. They stared at the lavish spread on the table, rendered speechless.

’Uncle Henry doesn’t even know how to properly find fault. How can he complain about a state banquet-level meal like this?’

But Henry Kendrick was one step ahead. "Mr. Sloan, didn’t you promise to be Yara’s servant for a year? Since you’re a servant, why aren’t you in the kitchen cooking yourself now that Yara’s friend is here?"

A dead silence fell over the dining table.

Chapman and the other servants didn’t dare to look up. ’Who is this guy? So brave? How dare he provoke Mr. Sloan!’

Nathaniel Sloan put down his chopsticks and looked up calmly. "Does Young Mr. Kendrick want to eat something I’ve cooked?"

"Of course. I truly want to sample your culinary skills, Mr. Sloan. Are you unwilling?"

He then sighed dramatically. "Ah, Yara, this servant of yours isn’t very obedient. Never mind, never mind. It’s not like I absolutely have to make things difficult for him. But he’s so boring and useless all the time, how is he supposed to take care of you?"
