The Ex-Wife He Can’t Have novel Chapter 345

Killian waited patiently for her to finish before speaking with absolute finality. "Go pack your bags. I'll visit you when I have the time."

"Sir..." Mrs. Zeller whimpered, shakily getting to her feet to grab the hem of his jacket in a desperate bid to change his mind.

But he just walked over to the window, turning his back on her entirely.

Sluggishly, Mrs. Zeller stumbled out of the room. A few moments later, heart-wrenching sobs echoed down the hallway.

But Killian's expression remained entirely impassive.

Daniel drove Jillian back to her place.

She made sure to step out and offer him a proper apology.

She knew he had heard the crazy rumor Mrs. Zeller spouted about Stella being his illegitimate child.

It was an insult to his reputation as well.

"It's fine," Daniel chuckled. "Misunderstandings happen all the time. I'm not going to lose sleep over something like this."

Jillian nodded, waved goodbye, and led Stella inside.

"Mom, Connor's dad is seriously terrifying," Stella mumbled.

"Are you scared of him?"

Stella nodded.

"Alright. I'll do my best to make sure you never have to see him again."

Stella pouted. "Mom, why did you ever like a guy like that in the first place?"

Jillian laughed. "What? Is that a crime?"

Stella shook her head. "It would have been so much better if you liked Daniel instead."

Jillian paused for a second before affectionately ruffling her daughter's hair.

The next day at the office, she suddenly received a call from her lawyer.

"Mr. Chambers," she answered warmly.
