The Triplets My Ex Never Knew About novel Chapter 84

Chapter 84: Chapter 84: Nathaniel Sloan, This Is a Movie Theater, Have You No Shame

Countless times in the past, Nathaniel Sloan had made promises: "I’ll be home for dinner tonight," "I’ll be back soon," "Wait for me here, I’ll come get you right away..."

But in the end, he broke every single one.

He would either be called away by Noelle Lockwood or delayed by work. In short, in Nathaniel Sloan’s world, everything was more important than her.

Estelle Lockwood’s distrust for Nathaniel Sloan flooded her mind once more, and she immediately stood up.

’He’s definitely gone.’

’Just like all the other times, he got a call and left, forgetting about the person waiting for him in the movie theater.’

An inexplicable anger surged within Estelle Lockwood.

’Fine, let him leave! As if I care! I’m not waiting anymore, either!’

Estelle Lockwood grabbed her bag and stormed toward the exit, only to run smack into a solid wall of a person with a THUD.

Nathaniel Sloan raised an eyebrow. Looking down at the woman who had stumbled dizzily into his arms, he remarked coolly, "You don’t have to be quite so enthusiastic."

...Enthusiastic?!

Estelle Lockwood’s head spun for a couple of seconds. The spark of anger she had suppressed was instantly ignited by that one word.

’Who’s being enthusiastic? I’m furious!’

Estelle Lockwood couldn’t help but taunt, "What on earth is that milk tea made of, Mr. Sloan? It took you half an hour. I thought you’d gone missing and was just about to call the police and file a missing person’s report!"

Detecting the sarcasm in her tone, Nathaniel Sloan arched a brow. "The milk tea shop by the entrance didn’t have mango flavor, so I went to one further away. I called you."

This made Estelle Lockwood even angrier. She pulled out her phone and opened the call log. "Is that so? Then how come I didn’t get a call from Mr. Sloan?"

"Mm, you’re right. It would have been impossible for you to get that call," Nathaniel Sloan nodded.

Estelle Lockwood’s temper flared. She thought of all the days and nights she had waited for him five years ago, and how he was still trying to fool her today. She was about to turn and leave when she heard the man’s nonchalant voice from behind her—

"Because you blocked me."

...

...

It was as if someone had hit the pause button in the theater. Estelle Lockwood froze for two seconds, then suddenly looked at her phone’s block list.

The name ’Nathaniel Sloan’ stood out on the list.

"..." Estelle Lockwood’s ears flushed red in an instant.

Fortunately, the theater was pitch black, so no one could see her embarrassment. She feigned composure and put her phone away. "Oh, so that’s what happened."

With that, she snatched the milk tea from him and hurried back to her seat, trying to hide her guilt.

Nathaniel Sloan adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, taking in her flustered state, then leisurely followed her.

Hiding in a corner, the three little ones looked on with disdain. Zachery muttered under his breath, "Mia, is this plan of yours even working? You said a horror movie would help them bond, but I’m not seeing any bonding."

Mia replied with profound wisdom, "You don’t get it. It’s a horror movie. I’ve read that everyone says when one person gets scared, they’ll burrow into the other’s arms. If we want to get Daddy and Mommy to patch things up, we need a way to build their affection for each other."

Christian nodded.

Zachery remained skeptical.

Just then, a huge, ghostly face flashed across the screen!

Mia’s eyes lit up. She stared intently at the backs of Estelle Lockwood and Nathaniel Sloan.

Zachery and Christian: "?" ’Why isn’t Mia scared of horror movies? What if Mommy isn’t scared either? No, no, that can’t be right.’

Just as they were thinking this, someone in the seats ahead suddenly moved.

Zachery rejoiced inwardly as the three little ones quickly looked over—

Nathaniel Sloan heard the rustling sounds. The man’s eyes narrowed slightly as he suddenly understood why Christian had insisted he come to a movie—and a horror movie, at that.

Unfortunately, Estelle Lockwood had never been afraid of this sort of thing.

However...
