The Ex-Wife He Can’t Have novel Chapter 441

Hearing his good mood, Sylvia Xavier's tone softened, laced with grievance and insecurity. "I was just afraid you were mad at me. You've been so distant lately, I thought you didn't want me anymore."

"Once I'm done with this busy period..."

Killian Quincy's words cut off abruptly.

He heard light footsteps behind him and turned to see Jillian Jarrett standing a short distance away, holding a glass of water.

Her steps were incredibly soft, clearly trying to avoid making noise so he wouldn't think she was eavesdropping.

Meeting his gaze, Jillian gently raised the glass in her hand, signaling that she had only come out for a drink.

"I have to go."

Without waiting for a reply, Killian hung up.

Seeing this, Jillian immediately turned to head back to her room.

"Next time, be open about it. Stop sneaking around," Killian said coldly.

Jillian paused, turning back with a frown. "I wasn't eavesdropping, I just..."

Killian looked away, too lazy to listen to her explanation. His aloof expression made it clear he didn't believe a word she said.

A suffocating wave of frustration hit Jillian, but she forced herself to swallow her anger.

In just a few days, she would be completely free. There was no point in arguing now.

"It doesn't matter, Mr. Quincy," she said, her tone distant. "Once I move out, you won't ever have to worry about me eavesdropping on your calls again."

With that, she turned back to her room and quietly closed the door.

Over the next few days, Jillian stayed at The Yale Residences to rest and recover.

Killian spent those days handling the Xavier Family hospital scandal. With his connections and ruthless efficiency, the situation was quickly suppressed. The police only held the involved doctor personally accountable, digging no deeper into the background connections, nor did they release the contents of the work logs.

Sylvia breathed a massive sigh of relief. Her greatest fear was the exposure of those logs, which would reveal the decade-old secret and make the true parentage of The Jarrett Twins public knowledge.

Fortunately, Killian's intervention had quietly erased every hidden threat.

After days of relentless work, Killian returned late one night.
