The Triplets My Ex Never Knew About

Chapter 133: Chapter 133: Couple’s Watches, Isn’t This a Surprise?

The salesperson was stunned speechless and, before they could even react, had already handed over their earpiece.

Estelle Lockwood was unsurprised to hear the manager of the Celestar Commercial Center roaring.

"Has Miss Lockwood bought them yet? Has she? If she won’t buy them, we can just give them to her! Mr. Liam was very clear. If I mess this up, I won’t know how to answer to him!"

Estelle Lockwood raised an eyebrow.

She returned the earpiece to the salesperson and took out a card. "I’ll take them. You can charge the card."

The salesperson was overjoyed.

The manager also hurried downstairs. Just as Estelle Lockwood was about to leave, he cleared his throat and said fawningly, "I wish you and Mr. Liam a lifetime of happiness together!"

The salesperson followed suit. "I wish you and Mr. Liam a lifetime of happiness together!"

Estelle Lockwood: "..."

Estelle Lockwood playfully weighed the exquisitely packaged watches in her hand. Suddenly realizing their misunderstanding, her eyes glinted mischievously. She asked a clerk for a recordable greeting card, then had the manager repeat what he had just said.

She wrote a few large words on the card with a flourish, then asked, "You offer home delivery service, right?"

"Yes, yes, we do."

Estelle Lockwood said slyly, "Perfect. Then please deliver it to Imperial Crest for me."

...

「Half an hour later, at Imperial Crest.」

The matching watches were delivered.

Liam Sloan was shocked when he found out, but his shock was quickly followed by the immense joy of thinking, ’Great, my life is saved!’

"Bro, what did I tell you? Estelle went out to buy you matching watches! See? Surprise!"

’Good thing I’m a genius. I had the manager figure out a way to sell the watches to Estelle Lockwood at a discount.’

Liam Sloan was extremely pleased with this maneuver. As if looking for praise, he said, "Bro, this is the set of matching watches for you. You do the honors!"

A sense of anticipation unexpectedly welled up in Nathaniel Sloan.

’She bought matching watches. Could this be... a sign that she wants to make up?’

Nathaniel Sloan’s expression remained unchanged, but his heart was filled with joy, and his hands moved a little faster as he opened the gift box.

After opening it, he saw there was a greeting card with the matching watches.

Liam Sloan gushed, "Wow, there’s a card too! Estelle really does care about you!"

The corners of Nathaniel Sloan’s lips couldn’t help but curl upward. The matching watches were quite handsome, a different style from what he usually wore. Without hesitation, Nathaniel immediately took out the men’s watch and put it on. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

Only then did he contentedly open the greeting card.

’I’m such a great guy!’ Liam Sloan thought. ’If it weren’t for me, how could my brother and Estelle be wearing matching watches? I deserve a medal for this!’

’But he said nothing. Oh well, what can you do? That’s just the kind of guy he was—a true hero who does good deeds without expecting any credit.’

Liam Sloan looked expectantly at Nathaniel Sloan’s face, and then—

—"Wishing Mr. Liam and Miss Lockwood a lifetime of happiness together!"

An excited male voice echoed through the study.

In that moment, Liam Sloan felt as if he was staring death in the face.

’Wait, wait! Wishing *who* and *who* a lifetime of happiness?!’

Nathaniel Sloan asked coolly, "What is this?"

Liam Sloan: "?" ’I’d like to know what this is, too! Does that manager hate me so much that he’d try to get me killed by proxy?!’

At that moment, the anonymous good Samaritan, Liam Sloan, shattered into a million pieces.

After a long moment, Nathaniel Sloan spun the men’s watch on his wrist, then picked up the women’s watch. He slowly rose to his feet. "I’m going to the hospital."

Liam Sloan was immediately alarmed. "Why are you going to the hospital?"

A small smile touched Nathaniel Sloan’s lips. "That world-renowned ear doctor is starting a guest position at the hospital today. I should at least go and welcome her."

It dawned on Liam Sloan. "Oh, right, Dr. Eleanor Vance. I’ve heard she’s quite a figure. It’s one thing to be exceptionally talented, but she also married into an incredibly wealthy family... I think it was the Kendrick Family..."

’Huh? Wait a second. The Kendrick Family? Wasn’t Estelle rescued and taken in by the Kendrick Family five years ago?’

’So...’

Nathaniel Sloan clutched the other matching watch in his palm. Without answering Liam, he walked out.

Liam Sloan finished the thought in his head: ’So, my brother is going to meet her family?!’

...

Eleanor Vance wasn’t planning on staying in Crestfall for long. She had come for two reasons: one, she was worried about Estelle Lockwood, and two, there was an international otology symposium.

That was why she had taken a guest position at a relatively high-end private hospital.

When Estelle Lockwood arrived, Eleanor Vance asked worriedly, "Estelle, come here, let me take a look at you. You weren’t hurt anywhere, were you? Have you had a check-up?"

"Nathaniel Sloan arranged a full-body examination for me the day I got out of the fire," Estelle Lockwood said. "You can rest assured, I’m fine."

"You keep telling me not to worry. That’s the only reason I agreed to let you come back to get your revenge, but you..."

Eleanor Vance couldn’t help but nag a little before frowning. "Is there something wrong with your ears?"

Estelle Lockwood knew she couldn’t hide it. "They’re just a little inflamed, but it’s nothing serious. You really don’t have to worry. With this fire, I didn’t panic or feel afraid."

Eleanor Vance had been taking care of Estelle Lockwood for five years, so she knew her situation well.

In the beginning, even the sight of a flame on a gas stove would make her turn pale and her eyes lose focus, to say nothing of recalling the inferno.

Even though five years had passed, there was no way Eleanor Vance could be at ease. "I don’t care. You’re coming with me for another examination. And your ears—I’m an otology specialist. If there really is a problem, you must tell me."

Warmth filled Estelle Lockwood’s heart. "I know."

The hospital was quiet, so when a commotion started outside the door, Estelle Lockwood heard it immediately. "What’s all that noise?"

The doctor examining her pursed her lips. "Someone wants Dr. Vance to see them, but they refuse to wait in line. They’re going on about how their daughter is so precious that the entire world should make way for her."

For some reason, Estelle Lockwood felt that this domineering attitude was a perfect match for Noelle Lockwood.

...

「Outside the door.」

A nurse was trotting after Rose Lowell. "Ma’am, Dr. Vance is busy right now. If you need to see her, you can get a number and wait in line. You can’t just... Ah!"

Rose Lowell spun around and slapped the nurse across the face without a second thought. "Wait in line? What line? That’s hilarious. Do you have any idea who I am?!"

The young nurse clutched her face. "I’m sorry, you really can’t go in... Dr. Vance is examining another patient..."

Rose Lowell immediately threw a fit. "What other patient? Who could possibly be more important than my Noelle? My Noelle’s life is more precious than all of yours combined! If anything happens to her, can you bear the responsibility?!"

Nearby, Laura Jennings was helping Noelle Lockwood approach. She had heard they actually had to wait in line to see this Dr. Vance.

’What a joke! Noelle is the esteemed daughter of the Lockwood Group, the very daughter-in-law Laura Jennings has her eye on. How could she possibly have to wait in line to see a doctor like some commoner?’

Laura Jennings raised her voice. "What worthless trash is Dr. Vance seeing right now? I’m telling you, my son is an investor in this hospital. Believe it or not, I can have every single one of you thrown out!"

The nurse bit her lip, realizing this situation was beyond what she, a lone nurse, could handle.

Just then, she turned and saw Eleanor Vance.

Eleanor Vance stared coldly at Rose Lowell.

’So this is Estelle’s biological mother.’

’She herself couldn’t treasure Estelle enough, yet her own birth mother was here spouting words like "bitch" and "trash."’

’Fine. We’ll just have to see who the real piece of trash is.’

Eleanor Vance stepped forward, her aggression on full display. "I was wondering why I could hear dogs barking from so far away. Well, well, look what we have here. I wonder whose dogs are making all this racket."
