The Ex-Wife He Can’t Have novel Chapter 141

Jillian Jarrett's gaze fell on the pink ribbon.

Connor Quincy had already learned basic color recognition in kindergarten; pink represented girls, and blue represented boys.

If this gift didn't belong to him, it was even less likely to belong to Killian Quincy.

A trace of guilt flashed in Connor's eyes. He quickly handed the gift box to Mrs. Zeller, who was standing nearby, and then turned to grab Jillian's hand, acting sweet. "Mom, let me show you the gift I got for you, okay?"

The child's soft, tender palm wrapped tightly around hers.

The sour ache in Jillian's heart was gently soothed. She silently pushed down her disappointment and said softly, "Okay."

Connor was very enthusiastic this time, leading her upstairs to his room. "Mom, turn around and close your eyes. No peeking!"

Jillian smiled helplessly, indulging the child's sense of ceremony, and obediently turned around and closed her eyes. "Ready?"

"Wait just a second!"

Jillian's heart was filled with tender anticipation.

They hadn't seen each other for over ten days, and the child seemed a bit more mature. This gift must have been carefully prepared with a lot of thought.

"Okay! You can turn around and open your eyes now, Mom!"

Jillian turned around as instructed, her gaze falling on the object the child handed her, and the smile on her face froze slightly.

It was a delicate 3D postcard printed with a classic European landmark. The craftsmanship was exquisite and elegant; it was indeed beautiful.

"Mom, this is my gift to you. Do you like it?" Connor looked at her full of expectation.

"I love it. Thank you, baby," Jillian said, suppressing the slight drop in her heart, and gently rubbed the top of his head.
