The Ex-Wife He Can’t Have novel Chapter 297

Killian? Connor? Neither made any sense.

The truth felt like it was dangling right in front of Daniel's face, obscured by a thin veil he just couldn't pierce.

His mind was a tangled mess.

"What is it, Daniel?" Jillian asked, noticing him zoning out.

"Nothing." Daniel snapped back to reality, burying the chaotic thoughts and offering a smooth smile to brush it off.

Jillian looked at his slightly tense posture and suddenly burst into a lighthearted laugh.

Daniel blinked, entirely lost. "What's so funny?"

"For a billionaire CEO, your fashion sense is surprisingly tragic." Jillian's eyes swept over him, her tone teasing and bright. "That tie clashes horribly with your suit. It's aggressively out of place."

Daniel reached up to touch his collar, looking a bit sheepish. "I was rushing this morning. To be honest, I've never really paid much attention to styling."

The moment triggered a sudden memory for Jillian—the early days of her marriage to Killian.

Back then, she had practically killed herself trying to blend into the Quincy family's elite circle. She memorized banquet etiquette, took wine-tasting seminars, studied men's tailoring, and even forced herself to learn floral arrangement and traditional tea ceremonies, all just to win Sienna's approval.

Only to realize in the end that the Quincys had never given a damn about her.

"Tell you what, I'll buy you a few ties. I'll teach you how to properly match your suits from now on."

A flicker of genuine joy flashed through Daniel's eyes.

But he simply pressed his lips together and smiled.

"That sounds perfect. I'll be relying on your expert guidance for my wardrobe."

Jillian suddenly realized that despite Daniel helping her navigate countless crises over the years, she had never actually given him a proper thank-you gift.

She had spent so long drowning in her own toxic romantic drama that she had become painfully oblivious to basic social reciprocation. Luckily, Daniel had never held it against her.

"Let's hit the mall this weekend. I'll give you a masterclass in person." A warm smile spread across Jillian's face, her subtle dimples making her look incredibly radiant.
