The Ex-Wife He Can’t Have novel Chapter 190

"Then I'd like to ask you something," Jillian said, her gaze steady. "In what capacity and on what grounds are you interrogating me? Why should I explain my private life to you?"

Sylvia was struck speechless. "I..."

"You should be thanking me. If it weren't for me, you probably wouldn't have even gotten Daniel's contact information in this lifetime."

Just then, a notification pinged on Jillian's phone.

She glanced down. It was a text from Killian: "I'm downstairs at your office. Where are you?"

Jillian let out another humorless laugh.

"I'm not at the office," she replied.

"Then come back immediately."

Seeing her texting with her head down, Sylvia grew even more furious. "Who are you talking to?!"

"Well, it isn't Daniel."

The more she deflected, the more Sylvia refused to believe her.

She reached across the table and snatched Jillian's phone. Seeing the name Killian on the screen, she froze instantly.

"Why are you meeting Killian?"

"He asked to meet me."

Sylvia opened her mouth to argue, but something caught her eye, and her expression froze entirely.

Just outside the cafe, Killian's tall, imposing figure stood silently.

He was staring at his phone, seemingly waiting for a reply.

Sunlight draped over him, highlighting the freezing, predatory aura that radiated from him.

Receiving no answer, Killian furrowed his brows and impatiently scanned the area, catching sight of Sylvia inside the coffee shop.

Their eyes locked.

Jillian had her back to the door and couldn't see Killian.

The atmosphere instantly turned incredibly tense.

Sensing Sylvia's strange reaction, Jillian followed her line of sight and spotted Killian at the entrance.
