The Ex-Wife He Can’t Have novel Chapter 143

Daniel Langley hosted the dinner, and as everyone arrived at the restaurant, they exchanged pleasantries and took their seats.

Mallory Vaughn was the first to raise her glass, looking at Leon. "Leon, thank you for stepping up last time. I'd like to offer a toast, drink as much as you like."

Leon let out a hearty laugh and clinked glasses with her. "It was just a small favor. I actually thought you guys ran into some thugs."

Jillian Jarrett lowered her head with a soft smile, glancing at Leon with a strange expression.

She only knew his English name was Leon; she had no idea what his actual last name was.

They were just acquaintances, so she never asked too many questions. She didn't expect his last name to be Quincy as well.

Although sharing a last name was nothing special, she felt an inexplicable sense of weirdness.

"Leon comes from a good family and had a very strict upbringing," Daniel chimed in, his gaze intentionally sweeping over Jillian.

Jillian instantly understood. Daniel was hinting that Leon belonged to the top-tier Quincy family she was familiar with. But the Quincy family had a century-old foundation and numerous branches; there were many family members she simply didn't know.

Leon didn't catch the hidden meaning and just smiled politely. "You flatter me. I didn't know Mallory before, so today is a nice introduction."

After speaking, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Mallory, what's your relationship with that man from the other day?"

Mallory's tone was casual. "Him? I played around a lot in college and kept a male escort around..."

Pfft!

Jillian almost spat out her water, hastily reaching out to cover Mallory's mouth.

Daniel's face flashed with embarrassment, and he quickly covered for her. "That's just how she is, always making inappropriate jokes. Don't take it seriously."

Leon twitched his lips awkwardly. But as the meal went on, the group actually got much closer.

Mallory was outgoing and straightforward, speaking without a filter, and Leon gradually got used to her personality.
