The Ex-Wife He Can’t Have novel Chapter 204

As Mallory had bluntly put it, she was terrified of diseases, and Preston had agreed to the terms.

But now, Preston was flaunting a highly public new romance, his eyes filled with undeniable affection. It was painfully obvious that he had moved on from their arrangement entirely.

That was why Mallory was having a total breakdown.

But Jillian knew Mallory too well.

Mallory only ever let her guard down and showed her vulnerability to Jillian. Whenever she was around Preston, she acted completely detached, as if she couldn't care less.

With The National Economic Summit officially over and no pressing matters left, Daniel and Jillian caught a flight back to Metro City together.

The moment she landed, Jillian skipped going home and drove straight to Mallory's place.

Mallory lived alone in a stunning, two-thousand-square-foot luxury condo overlooking the river. The prime real estate was usually immaculate, but right now, it was a disaster zone. Clothes, shoes, and designer bags were strewn everywhere in chaotic piles.

Jillian instantly knew what was going on. Mallory had clearly been spiraling for days, refusing to eat or sleep properly. She must have been holding it together so she wouldn't interrupt Jillian's work, only breaking down when she knew the summit was ending.

Jillian quietly started cleaning up the massive mess. Then, she walked into the high-end kitchen, cooked up a comforting bowl of chicken soup, and made a couple of light side dishes.

Mallory finally dragged herself out of bed, her hair a tangled mess. She wrapped her arms around Jillian from behind, her voice hoarse from crying. "Jill, you're an angel. Whoever gets to marry you is the luckiest man alive."

Jillian offered a self-deprecating smile. "Alright, save the flattery."

She wasn't that wonderful. Killian had married her, and he had never appreciated a single thing about her.
