The Ex-Wife He Can’t Have novel Chapter 245

Daniel completely ignored her teasing and quickly typed back: [I know. I won't hesitate this time. Jillian just told me she's formally filed for divorce. It'll be completely finalized in a month or two at most.]

Daniel held himself to an incredibly high moral standard. He had liked Jillian for a long time, but he never dared to show a hint of it because she was married. Even though she was separated from Killian, their legal status had remained unchanged.

But now that the two were finally cutting ties, it meant he could openly pursue Jillian without being constrained by societal rules.

[That's more like it,] Mallory replied.

Daniel put down his phone and couldn't resist digging out a cherished keepsake hidden deep in his desk—a group project from their college days.

He and Jillian had completed all these assignments together.

Jillian was a year below him, and back then, he had used the excuse of studying to spend time with her.

She had painstakingly organized much of the data in the project, and those moments were some of the few precious memories they shared in their youth.

Daniel was a decisive and efficient man in every aspect of life, except when it came to love, where he was always a beat behind.

Back then, before he could gather the courage to confess, Jillian had beaten him to the punch by asking if he knew Killian Quincy, admitting she had a crush on him.

Of course he knew Killian. But out of sheer jealousy, he lied and claimed they weren't close.

Left with no choice, Jillian had to find another way to get close to Killian.

During that time, Daniel felt incredibly depressed.

He secretly prayed Jillian would fail.

Later, he heard through mutual friends that Jillian had successfully managed to get close to Killian, and that Killian actually seemed quite interested in her.

The moment he heard the news, it felt like a bucket of ice water had been dumped over his head.

He became even more hesitant about how to handle his relationship with her.

He was terrified that if he confessed, they wouldn't even be able to stay friends.
