The Triplets My Ex Never Knew About novel Chapter 93

Chapter 93: Chapter 93: Miss Lockwood Still Has Lingering Feelings for Her Husband

Estelle Lockwood felt her composure crumble. She had the overwhelming urge to turn and run.

’But on second thought, what do I have to feel guilty about? I’m not the one who did something wrong!’

Liam Sloan sensed something was off. His gaze shifted back and forth between the two. "What’s going on? You two know each other?"

Estelle Lockwood instinctively wanted to deny it. "We don’t—"

Nathaniel Sloan’s lips curved into a smile, but it didn’t reach his eyes. "Of course we do."

Liam Sloan missed the dangerous undertone in Nathaniel’s voice. "What a coincidence! Bro, tell me, don’t you think Miss Lockwood should get a divorce?"

Nathaniel Sloan asked coolly, "You really want her to get a divorce?"

Liam Sloan slapped his thigh. "Of course! What’s the use in keeping a scumbag like that around?"

Nathaniel Sloan turned back to Estelle Lockwood, his eyes narrowing. "Is that what you think too, Miss Lockwood?"

Estelle Lockwood opened her mouth to speak, but Liam beat her to it.

"Hey, bro, you’re asking the wrong person. I’ve been telling Miss Lockwood to get a divorce for ages, but she always hems and haws and won’t give me a straight answer. If you ask me, she still has lingering feelings for her scumbag husband!"

Nathaniel Sloan’s fingers paused. His gaze grew deeper. "Lingering feelings?"

Liam Sloan nodded. "When I met Miss Lockwood three years ago, I told her to divorce him. She avoided the question back then, and even today, she’s still... sigh! Miss Lockwood, I know men too well. You can’t handle a scumbag. Just divorce him already!"

Nathaniel Sloan suddenly let out a meaningful laugh. "So, Miss Lockwood, you still have lingering feelings for your ’ex-husband.’"

He put heavy emphasis on the term "ex-husband."

’They clearly weren’t divorced, yet Estelle Lockwood keeps calling him her ’ex-husband.’ When did I become her ex-husband?’

Liam tried to correct him. "Bro, not ex-husband. Current husband. They’re not divorced yet. We’re just about to file the divorce papers..."

Before Liam could finish, Estelle shot a cold glance at Nathaniel Sloan. "Lingering feelings? In your dreams. Why would anyone have lingering feelings for a scumbag?"

Liam immediately nodded. "Miss Lockwood is right. It’s good that you can see things clearly..."

Nathaniel Sloan sneered, looking Estelle Lockwood directly in the eyes. "And yet, the last time I asked about your marital status, Miss Lockwood, you said the grass on your ex-husband’s grave was already three feet high."

Liam was surprised. "Huh? Miss Lockwood, your husband is dead?"

Estelle Lockwood said coolly, "Nathaniel Sloan, ’the grass on his grave is three feet high’ is a figure of speech. It means he’s already dead to me. Can’t you even understand that? You should go back to elementary school."

"Speaking of which, Mr. Sloan, you talk about acquiring the Lockwood Group for your wife, while at the same time, you’re caught up in scandals with Noelle Lockwood. Just who is this wife you speak of?"

Liam said, "Ah, so that’s what ’grass on the grave’ means. No, wait, Miss Lockwood, why are you so interested in my brother’s marriage..."

A faint smile played on Nathaniel Sloan’s lips. "Then why, Miss Lockwood, are you so insistent on acquiring Lockwood Group shares?"

Liam quickly interjected, "Right, I forgot the important part! Bro, Miss Lockwood is very interested in the Lockwood Group..."

Estelle Lockwood said darkly, "What does my desire to acquire it have to do with you, Mr. Sloan? Even if I lose money, it’s my own money to lose. What business is it of yours?"

Liam: "..."

Liam: "?"

’Wait, is anyone listening to me?!’

Seeing the atmosphere grow increasingly tense, Liam shot forward and planted himself between them. "Let’s all just talk this out! The acquisition is negotiable, too!"

「Five minutes later.」

Nathaniel Sloan and Estelle Lockwood were seated on opposite sides of the desk, beginning their discussion about the acquisition.

Nathaniel Sloan didn’t put up a fight. He gave Estelle Lockwood whatever she asked for.

Once they were finished, Estelle Lockwood, showing him no courtesy whatsoever, grabbed her bag and walked out without a single look back.

Only after her figure had vanished did Liam, as if he’d discovered a new continent, sidle up to Nathaniel Sloan and ask cheekily:

"Bro, are you interested in Miss Lockwood?"

Nathaniel Sloan glanced sideways. "Why do you ask?"
