The Ex-Wife He Can’t Have novel Chapter 451

Jillian met his icy stare and spoke calmly. "There's something I need to tell you."

"I'm not interested in anything about you."

"It's about your family."

Jillian ignored his attitude, her tone remaining flat. "Your father has been coming to see me lately, constantly pressuring me to divorce you. I've explained to him that I'm not the one dragging this out, but he refuses to believe me."

"You'd better make things clear to him so he stops bothering me. But honestly, he's getting older and still stressing over your personal life, so you really shouldn't let him down. How about..." Jillian asked, testing the waters.

Killian's gaze turned predatory. "Mind your own business."

Jillian pulled the document folder closer to her chest, a faint smile playing on her lips. "He told me you had a massive crush on a girl in college, and that I was the reason you two never got together."

Killian fell silent for a moment before replying coldly, "That never happened. He's mistaken."

"He thought it was Sylvia, but I don't think it was her."

"Then who do you think it was?" Killian asked suddenly.

Jillian thought about it for a second, then shook her head.

"I've thought about this a lot. If it's true, I feel like I owe you an apology. I had no idea about it, and if..."

"I said, that never happened."

Killian set his teacup down on the desk with a sharp clink.

"Honestly, it would be perfectly normal if you did. If I had known back then, I absolutely never would have married you."

Killian frowned, his dark eyes swirling with a somber intensity.

"You wouldn't have?"

"That's right. I wouldn't have."

Killian scoffed. "Given your situation back then, did you even have another choice?"

Jillian stayed silent.

"Or are you going to tell me that the way you did everything in your power to meet me was fake, too?"
