The Triplets My Ex Never Knew About novel Chapter 60

Chapter 60: Chapter 60: Christian and Zachery Seem a Little Alike

Estelle Lockwood finished speaking and left without a backward glance.

Nathaniel Sloan watched her back, silent for a long time.

"Daddy."

Just then, a gloomy voice sounded beside him. He turned to see "Christian" looking at him with disdain.

Zachery wanted nothing more than to beat up his scumbag dad. "Daddy, do you know why the horses bolted, the flowers wilted, and the sun vanished the moment you showed up?"

Nathaniel Sloan was already used to Christian’s nonsensical words. "...Why?"

Zachery scoffed. "Heh, you really have no self-awareness, do you, Daddy? Of course it’s because they can’t stand you."

"Can’t you tell Auntie Estelle doesn’t want anything to do with you? Not that it’s surprising. Auntie Estelle is beautiful, rich, and a great businesswoman who runs her own company. Other men are lining up to pursue a woman that wonderful. Why would she ever want to deal with a scumbag like you?"

Nathaniel Sloan was silent for a moment before looking at "Christian."

Having praised his mommy without blushing or his heart skipping a beat, Zachery faced Nathaniel Sloan’s suspicion fearlessly. "Daddy, I’m just speaking from the heart! You can’t discourage a child’s enthusiasm for telling the truth!"

Zane Grant remarked at the right moment, "Christian really has changed. He’s so much more lively. If this keeps up, his illness won’t be a problem."

Zachery immediately nodded. "So, Daddy, just make a little sacrifice and let me have my say!"

Nathaniel Sloan closed his eyes, a sense of helplessness washing over him.

’...What kind of twisted logic is this?’

「Two days later」

With the inspection of Rosalind Garden complete and the project officially launched, Estelle Lockwood and Nathaniel Sloan were in the car on their way back.

During the ride back, Estelle Lockwood glanced at "Christian" several times.

’Strange, why does the way the young master is sitting look a bit like Zachery?’

Usually, Christian’s posture was ramrod straight, like a miniature version of Nathaniel Sloan. But now, he was slumped in his seat, looking exactly like Zachery.

’The young master has probably just spent too much time with Zachery.’

Estelle Lockwood shook her head and didn’t think much of it.

Back at Imperial Crest, she went to her room to change. Zachery immediately ran upstairs. "Young Mr. Christian, let’s switch back!"

Then he saw Christian and Mia sitting at a desk, counting gifts.

Mia was completely immersed in a sea of presents. "Zachery, you little dummy, come look! These are all gifts for Young Mr. Christian from the kids and teachers at kindergarten!"

After speaking, she picked out a small cake. "I want this one!"

Christian said dotingly, "Okay, it’s all yours."

"Thank you, big brother! You’re the best, big brother!"

Zachery: "..."

Zachery felt as if his home had been stolen from under him, like a bolt from the blue.

’Oh, so that’s how it is, Mia! I’m over there pretending to be the young master, protecting Mommy and dissing that scumbag dad, while you’re over here with him, even calling him ’big brother’! Who’s your real brother?!’

He shot an angry glare at Christian, the meaning clear: ’That’s my sister. Don’t you have your own? Why are you stealing mine!’

Before his anger could even fully form, Christian stood up and pushed a well-made jigsaw puzzle into his hands.

"Zachery, I saw you seemed to like this last time, so I bought it for you. Do you like it?"

Mia chimed in from the side, "Zachery, you little dummy, hurry and take it! Let me tell you, Young Mr. Christian totally won over all the teachers and parents, but they all think he’s you. Your reputation is amazing now!"

Christian smiled gently and offered the puzzle forward again.

Zachery: "..."

’Oh, crap. It’s that heart-fluttering feeling.’

’The young master is so good at charming people! This... who wouldn’t be dazed by this? Forget the kindergarten teachers, even I can’t resist!’

"O-okay, fine. I’ll take it..."

"Okay. In that case, Zachery, can I ask you for a favor?"

The bewitched Zachery: "Mhm, mhm, mhm, sure, sure."

Christian said softly, "Great. Then I’d like to stay switched with you for a while longer. Let’s not switch back just yet."

Zachery: "Mhm, mhm, mhm..."

Christian: "Then I’ll take that as a yes."

Zachery snapped back to his senses. "Huh? Wait, no..."

Before he could finish, Christian handed him a slice of cake. "Then I’ll thank you in advance. You’re so nice, Zachery. I really like you."
