The Triplets My Ex Never Knew About

Chapter 91: Chapter 91: "Christian is our son!

The study fell silent.

Nathaniel Sloan’s voice suddenly deepened. "Me and Christian, a paternity test?"

Zane Grant said, "Yeah, I was shocked too. Nathaniel, you should find some time to get your mom a brain scan."

Nathaniel Sloan sneered, "So, what are the results?"

Zane Grant shook his head. "The paternity test results aren’t that fast. But how could you and Christian not be father and son?"

"I don’t know how your mom’s brain works to even have such a ridiculous idea..."

After Zane Grant finished, Nathaniel Sloan said hoarsely, "When the results are in, let me know."

After hanging up, Nathaniel Sloan was about to return to his room when he passed Estelle Lockwood’s door. The man paused for a long while.

He truly hadn’t meant to distrust her today; he just wanted an answer.

Nathaniel Sloan wanted to explain, but it was too late. He raised his hand to knock, then lowered it again.

Unexpectedly, however, Estelle Lockwood left early the next morning.

For the next several days, Estelle Lockwood left early and came back late. Nathaniel Sloan didn’t even catch a single glimpse of her.

KNOCK, KNOCK.

A knock sounded on the office door.

Zane Grant didn’t even wait for a reply, pushing the door open and walking in, a look on his face that showed he was ready for a good show. "Nathaniel, the paternity test results are out!" ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

Nathaniel Sloan didn’t even lift his eyelids. "Mm."

Zane Grant raised an eyebrow. "Aren’t you curious about the result?"

The man’s eyes were calm, without a ripple of emotion. "What’s there to be curious about? Like you said, how could Christian not be my son?"

Zane Grant nodded. "True... The results show that Christian is one hundred percent your biological son. The director said that when Mrs. Sloan came to pick up the report, her expression was completely twisted."

Nathaniel Sloan let out a scornful laugh and abruptly stood up.

Zane Grant was stunned. "Where are you going?"

Nathaniel Sloan adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, speaking slowly and deliberately, "To Sloan Manor."

Zane Grant’s intuition told him a good show was about to start. "Wait for me, I’m coming too!"

When they arrived at Sloan Manor, the living room was deathly silent. Two copies of the paternity test report were slapped on the coffee table.

Iris Sloan looked at Laura Jennings with sarcasm in her eyes. "Go on, explain what this is."

Laura Jennings was about to die from anger. The moment she got home, Iris Sloan had intercepted her, snatched the paternity test from her hands, and was now holding her here without a shred of respect.

’I’m the matriarch of the Sloan family, for crying out loud! What right does Iris Sloan, an old spinster, have to criticize me!’

Seeing Laura Jennings’s indignant expression, Iris Sloan sneered. "You actually suspected the father-son relationship between Christian and Nathaniel. If word of this got out, who wouldn’t laugh and say there’s something wrong with your brain?"

Laura Jennings’s expression twisted. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

Thinking of the hesitant looks on the doctors’ faces just now, she felt a surge of anger.

’I was just doing it for Nathaniel’s own good! Who knew if the child Estelle Lockwood was carrying back then was even his! Noelle said to be cautious when it comes to the child. What’s wrong with that!’

’I don’t understand. Why does every single one of them look down on me?’

Laura Jennings swallowed her anger again and again. "I just felt that Christian has changed so much recently, not like himself at all. I only did the paternity test for peace of mind, that’s all."

Iris Sloan laughed in exasperation. "Christian’s features are almost identical to Nathaniel’s when he was a child. How could you, Nathaniel’s own mother, not know that? Anyone with eyes can see it. Yet you insisted on listening to Noelle Lockwood’s instigation and doubting your own grandson! No wonder people don’t like you!"

Laura Jennings was immediately defiant. "Noelle was also thinking of Nathaniel and the Sloan Family, how is that instigating me? Besides, Christian Sloan’s behavior has been truly outrageous lately!"

"Then why don’t you tell me, Mother, how has Christian’s behavior been outrageous?"

A cold male voice suddenly cut in. The few people in the living room turned to look.

Laura Jennings was instantly embarrassed. "Nathaniel, what are you doing here?"

Nathaniel Sloan gave her a cold glance. "If I hadn’t come, I would have never known Mother was capable of such an absurd act."

Laura Jennings panicked for a moment, but then she remembered that Nathaniel Sloan was her son, and an inexplicable sense of confidence returned.

"Nathaniel, don’t you think Christian has changed? He’s not mature at all anymore, all he thinks about all day is playing. I think this is his true nature! You were so well-behaved as a child, and Christian is nothing like you. That’s why I started to suspect..."

"Mother, Christian is only five years old," Nathaniel Sloan said, his dark eyes brooding, heralding a storm. "Just how mature do you expect him to be?"

Laura Jennings’s self-righteous voice faltered, and her momentum weakened. "I, I..."

"Laura Jennings!" Iris Sloan couldn’t listen anymore. "What’s wrong with Christian being a little livelier? Don’t think I don’t know that Noelle Lockwood puts him down all day long. It’s one thing if you don’t feel sorry for him, but you actually help Noelle everywhere and make things difficult for your own grandson!"

As if that wasn’t enough, Iris Sloan added with a sneer, "You even listened to Noelle Lockwood about the paternity test. I think you should just stop being Mrs. Sloan and go be a mother to Noelle at the Lockwood estate instead!"

Seeing everyone blaming her, Laura Jennings couldn’t take it anymore and burst out crying with a loud WAIL, sitting on the floor and throwing a tantrum.

"What did I do wrong?! Noelle wasn’t wrong! For a country bumpkin like Estelle Lockwood, who knows if she was already married back in the countryside, or if she already had children! Who knows if she was trying to get Nathaniel to raise another man’s child!"

"You people just don’t know! Where Estelle Lockwood grew up, women get married and have babies at fifteen or sixteen. Someone like her has definitely slept with other men before. What if she married Nathaniel while carrying another man’s child? Then I had to do something for Nathaniel’s sake..."

"Shut up!" Nathaniel Sloan spun around, his furious shout cutting her off.

His expression was utterly glacial, without a trace of a smile on his lips. Even his gold-rimmed glasses seemed to isolate him from everything, making him appear cold and distant.

"Mother, Estelle Lockwood is my wife. She was in the past, she is now, and she will be in the future! Christian is our child, and I will not allow you to insult her!"

"You said that because she grew up in a place like that, she is dirty."

Nathaniel Sloan walked forward step by step, his voice like the cutting wind on a cold winter night, chilling to the bone.

"In that case, Mother, I have to ask: who is the one who was supposed to be dirty?"

The air seemed to freeze.

Nathaniel Sloan sneered. "You look down on Estelle Lockwood’s background, her family, and her upbringing. But all of that was originally supposed to be the life of your beloved Noelle Lockwood. Isn’t that right?"

Zane Grant clicked his tongue twice. ’What a shame,’ he thought. ’I should have brought Noelle Lockwood over too. Let her get a good earful of this, so she’ll stop using Estelle Lockwood’s background to belittle her all day long.’

Laura Jennings collapsed onto the floor, speechless.

"Nathaniel, you, you..."

"Alright, you! Shut your mouth!" From the side, Nathaniel Sloan’s father, Ethan Sloan, who had just rushed back, took a deep breath and said to Nathaniel:

"Nathaniel, let’s not let this paternity test business blow up. If Christian finds out, it will only hurt him for no reason. I’ll keep an eye on Laura from now on and stop her from causing more trouble. She is your mother, after all. Don’t let things get too ugly."

Nathaniel Sloan swept a cold gaze over them and turned to leave.

Zane Grant hurried to follow, while Iris Sloan, on the other hand, gave the paternity test report another look.

...

Outside the villa, Nathaniel Sloan’s expression remained cold.

Just then, his phone rang.

Seeing the caller ID, Nathaniel Sloan raised an eyebrow.
