The Ex-Wife He Can’t Have novel Chapter 277

Connor buried his face in Jillian's chest, his eyes red and brimming with confusion and hurt. "Killian, why did Sienna act like that? Why did she hit Jillian?"

Killian furrowed his brow, remaining completely silent.

He genuinely had no idea what was happening either.

At that moment, Eleanor, Leon, and the rest of the group hurried backstage.

Eleanor looked thoroughly disgusted, unable to hold back her harsh critique. "The woman has lost her mind. It's Connor's birthday party. Pulling a stunt like this on such an important day is completely inappropriate!"

She turned to rush Killian. "Go find out what's going on. Natalie bolted after taking a call, and now Sienna threw a tantrum. Something terrible must have happened."

Killian gently wiped the tears from Connor's face, completely ignoring her demands.

"Go! Look at the situation, she's your mother!" Eleanor frowned anxiously.

"Whose mother?"

Killian turned around, locking eyes with Eleanor. The sheer, freezing intensity of his glare was suffocating.

Eleanor was instantly stunned into silence.

"Today is Connor's birthday. I don't believe anyone is important enough for me to abandon him."

Killian articulated every word in a flat tone, but his stance was absolute.

A harsh realization suddenly struck Eleanor.

Every single one of them had severely underestimated the depths of Killian's brutal apathy.

He maintained a tight inner circle that only included the people he actually cared about.

Connor was in it, but everyone else—Sienna, Natalie, and even Eleanor herself—were entirely expendable.

He had never bothered to spare a single thought for those who had never loved him.

Humiliated and furious, Eleanor could only snap coldly, "Fine. If you want to stay with the boy, I'm feeling unwell, so I'll be leaving."

Killian broke eye contact, making no attempt to stop her.

"Killian, take good care of Connor and Jillian," Leon stepped forward, his voice gentle. "I'll escort Eleanor home, don't worry."
