The Ex-Wife He Can’t Have novel Chapter 150

Jillian's body went slightly stiff. She slowly turned her head and looked quietly at Judith.

Judith kept her eyes lowered, not daring to meet her gaze.

"I know I shouldn't have kept it from you. But originally, I thought that after the divorce, you shouldn't have any ties to him anyway, so it didn't matter if you knew the truth or not."

"And, I was afraid... afraid that if you knew the truth, you would go looking for your biological mother."

Judith's voice grew quieter and quieter until it was barely a whisper.

This was the selfish motive she had hidden for decades.

Now that she was saying it out loud, she felt incredibly ashamed of herself.

Looking at her mother's evasive eyes, Jillian couldn't bear to blame her. She said softly, "I understand. I don't blame you."

The mystery that had entangled her for over ten years was solved in an instant.

All her lingering obsessions regarding Silas vanished into thin air.

Seeing that she wasn't too angry, Judith took a deep breath and gave her a rough summary of what happened.

It turned out that she and Silas had been married for years without having a child. Later, they went to the hospital for a check-up. Judith was completely healthy, but Silas was diagnosed with congenital azoospermia, meaning he could never have biological children of his own.

Not long after, a neighbor came and asked her, saying a relative had a baby girl they didn't want to raise, asking if they would take her.

Judith convinced Silas to take the baby in, and that baby was Jillian.

"So that's how it was."

Jillian smiled, her eyes showing total relief. "No wonder he was always so cold to me before. It turns out I wasn't even his kid."

"I was stupid back then too," Judith said, her eyes red with deep regret. "I thought if we adopted a child, he would settle down and live a good life with me. Who knew all his thoughts were on hooking up with rich women?"

Jillian lightly curled her lips into a smirk. "He probably still cared about his pride back then. Once he realized he could never have a child in this lifetime, he just gave up trying to be decent altogether."
