The Ex-Wife He Can’t Have novel Chapter 274

But now, however Sienna and Sylvia chose to flaunt their mutual affection was completely irrelevant to her.

She didn't want Killian anymore, which meant she cared even less about what the Quincys thought.

After the greetings wrapped up, Sienna pulled Sylvia down to sit at their table.

Looking at the arrangement, Connor was seated directly between Killian and Sylvia, making them look like a genuine family unit.

Jillian looked away, merely counting down the minutes until the party was over.

By noon, the celebration officially began.

Connor's classmates had all arrived, and every kid received a party favor. The children huddled together, chattering excitedly, filling the room with joyous laughter.

The adults then took turns presenting their gifts, creating a small mountain of luxurious, designer boxes.

Killian walked out holding Connor's hand, followed closely by staff rolling out a three-tier fondant cake. Confetti cannons erupted, pushing the festive atmosphere to its peak.

According to the schedule, it was time for the parents' speeches.

Just as Killian prepared to speak, he noticed Connor looking upset. "What's wrong?"

He asked in a low voice.

"I want Jillian to come on stage, too."

Killian scanned the crowd.

Sylvia immediately stepped forward and whispered, "Is everything okay?"

Connor pouted unhappily. Assuming Sylvia was trying to intrude, he snapped, "I want Jillian, not Sylvia."

Sylvia froze, shooting a look at Killian.

Killian stated smoothly, "It's nothing. Go back to your seat."

Sylvia's pleasant facade slipped for a second, but thankfully, the surrounding guests couldn't hear their exchange.

As Sylvia retreated to her chair, Killian finally locked eyes with Jillian.

A single, chilly glance was all it took for Jillian to read his mind.

She walked up to the stage. "Connor..."

"Jillian, I want you to be up here with Killian and me."
