The Ex-Wife He Can’t Have novel Chapter 191

Killian left with Sylvia.

Jillian finished her coffee alone, paid the bill, and turned to leave.

Even at the end, she couldn't figure out why Killian had come specifically to see her. But she didn't need to overthink it; it had to be about Connor.

Upon returning to the office, Jillian ran into Daniel and told him what had just happened.

Daniel looked hesitant, pausing before he spoke. "Could it be because of the rumors about us?"

Jillian couldn't help but laugh out loud. "If it were anyone else, maybe, but not Killian."

He only saw Daniel as an ordinary business rival. As for Jillian, her weight in his heart was likely less than a feather.

A few days later, the rumors about Jillian and Daniel were gradually buried by other news, fading entirely from the public eye.

Neither of them had stepped forward to respond from start to finish.

They weren't celebrities and had no need to explain their private lives to anyone. The brief storm blew over quietly.

As night fell, Killian and Sylvia attended a gathering with friends.

Gibson rushed in. "Sorry, I'm late."

Someone nearby teased with a smile, "A rare guest. It's been a long time since you joined our parties, Gibson."

"A lot going on lately. I've been busy," Gibson replied mildly.

Killian looked up at him, a knowing glint in his eyes.

It wasn't just lately; Gibson had been deliberately distancing himself from him for the past few years.

The Xavier family had already begun delegating power, planning for Gibson to take over the family business, putting immense pressure on him.

But Gibson preferred to be a doctor and had little interest in business. His family must have been giving him a hard time.

"Why is Jasper so out of it?" someone asked, noticing his lack of focus.
