The Ex-Wife He Can’t Have novel Chapter 395

For the entire second half of the gala, Sylvia practically glued herself to Killian, never leaving his side for a single second.

The surrounding guests didn't bat an eye, treating them exactly like a normal couple whenever they were brought up in conversation.

Killian finally caught a break when Sylvia headed to the restroom. He slipped away and sat down at the table reserved for the Quincy family's relatives.

A relative next to him chuckled and teased, "Sylvia really clings to you. This is the only moment you get a breather."

"They've been together for so many years, yet they're still acting like teenagers in the honeymoon phase. Can't bear to be apart for a second."

Killian's face remained completely stoic. He sat there looking cold, refusing to say a word.

Sitting nearby, Sean frowned in obvious dissatisfaction and spoke up. "I honestly don't see what's so great about Sylvia. If we're talking about marriage, someone like Jillian is much more suitable—gentle, elegant, and educated. Even on looks alone, she's miles ahead of Sylvia."

The other members of the Quincy family exchanged knowing glances. It seemed Sean still had no idea that Jillian was actually Killian's legal wife.

But since Killian didn't say anything, no one else was going to run their mouths.

From start to finish, Jillian never approached the Quincy family's table. Her deliberate distance was painfully obvious.

As the gala progressed, many of the elites and dignitaries took the initiative to approach her and network.

Jillian handled them with poised elegance, welcoming everyone and engaging in pleasant, seamless conversation.

The gala neared its end, and the crowd began to thin out.

The Quincy and Langley families were the co-hosts of the event, so they naturally had to stay until the very end to wrap things up.

By midnight, only a handful of guests remained.

Daniel was busy seeing off his family's relatives. Mr. and Mrs. Langley were already quite familiar with Jillian.

Seeing that Daniel was finally free, the older couple immediately waved Jillian over.

Catching their gesture, Jillian hurried over to them.

"Jillian, you've worked so hard tonight. We saw how busy you were, so we didn't want to bother you earlier," Mrs. Langley said warmly.

"You're too kind, Mrs. Langley. It's just my job, it wasn't hard at all," Jillian replied with a radiant smile.
