The Ex-Wife He Can’t Have novel Chapter 273

Leon quickly responded, "Eleanor, I'm right here."

"Come help me. I'm getting old, and I can't risk taking a fall with all these people around."

Leon glanced back at Jillian, who waved him off, gesturing for him to go.

Leon hurried over and offered Eleanor his arm. "Eleanor, you move around just fine back at the house."

"The house is completely different. This place is swarming with outsiders." Eleanor gripped his hand tightly. "You're staying by my side all day. Don't go wandering off."

"Alright, I'll stay with you." Leon guessed what she was plotting but kept his mouth shut.

On the other side, Judith and Lydia found their seats. Watching the massive Quincy clan flocking around Eleanor, Judith patted Lydia's hand. "Lydia, let them have their chaotic crowd. We're just here to celebrate Connor's birthday in peace. Once we eat, we're leaving. We're not getting involved in their drama."

Lydia nodded in agreement. "I know."

A few moments later, Sylvia arrived.

Judith and Lydia instantly tensed up.

Jillian quickly soothed them. "Madeline and Silas won't be here. I already spoke with Killian about it."

Judith still cast anxious glances around the room.

"Killian doesn't care about what we want. What if he actually invited them?"

Jillian had considered that. If Killian insisted on bringing Sylvia's family, she would walk out immediately. She was done swallowing her pride.

After scanning the room, it was clear Sylvia was the only one who showed up.

The moment Sienna saw her, she rushed over enthusiastically and took her hands.

Natalie flashed a bright smile. "Sylvia."

"It's so sweet of you to come all the way out here for Connor's birthday," Sienna beamed affectionately, holding Sylvia's hands.

"It's no trouble at all. I've watched Connor grow up, after all."

Sienna looked visibly touched, patting Sylvia's hand. "Seeing how much you care for him puts my mind at ease."

The surrounding socialites immediately caught the underlying message. It was a blatant hint that Sylvia would soon step in as Connor's stepmother.
