The Ex-Wife He Can’t Have novel Chapter 244

While she was stewing in her frustration, her mother, Madeline Xavier, walked over, her tone probing. "If you have the time, you should visit the Quincy estate more often. Get closer to Sienna. Let's find a good opportunity for our families to sit down and discuss your wedding with Killian."

Sylvia's expression turned glacial. Right after Jillian had left years ago, her family had certainly tried to strike while the iron was hot.

But Killian had told them that he and Jillian were merely separated. Their marriage was still legally binding, and discussing another wedding would be bigamy.

Later, she had subtly pressured him to finalize the divorce. With Killian's connections and resources, how could he possibly be unable to track Jillian down?

Yet he made excuse after excuse, stalling indefinitely.

Thinking of this, her eyes filled with bitter resentment. "Do you think I don't want to get married? If things could be settled smoothly, would I have dragged it out this long?"

Madeline looked equally displeased. "Then what exactly is his game? Don't tell me he still has feelings for his ex-wife?"

"I doubt it."

Sylvia recalled the scene of the two of them tearing into each other on the show and immediately dismissed the idea.

Killian appeared cold most of the time, but he generally maintained a baseline of respect for women.

The fact that he would mercilessly attack Jillian in public proved that he still despised her.

The real reason he was dragging his feet on the divorce likely had everything to do with Connor.

Sylvia sounded exhausted and helpless. "He's probably just worried about his son."

"Then treat Connor better and completely eliminate Killian's concerns!"

"Do I not treat him well enough?" Sylvia's composure shattered, her voice sharply rising in pitch.

"He is an ungrateful brat!"
