The Ex-Wife He Can’t Have novel Chapter 501

"So, what did you actually wish for?"

Jillian Jarrett didn't understand why Killian Quincy was so fixated on this. She looked up, watching the staff retrieve the sky lanterns released from the city tower.

To prevent fires and protect the environment, the sky lanterns here were only allowed to fly for ten minutes.

Watching the sky lanterns—carrying people's wishes—extinguish and get collected one by one, Jillian smiled.

What was the point? They were just going to be recycled as trash anyway.

Killian followed her gaze upward and witnessed the same scene.

It was true. A wish made with sincere devotion wasn't guaranteed to come true.

Sometimes, it felt like nothing more than a fleeting dream.

Killian looked away from the sky lanterns, fixing his gaze on the side of Jillian's face.

Amidst the crowded street and bustling atmosphere, her expression remained calm and composed, radiating an almost ethereal grace.

Killian had never realized how stunning Jillian could be. But the thought that she was currently dating Sebastian 'Bash' Shaw brought a wave of disgust.

A shallow, mediocre man like that didn't deserve a girlfriend like her.

Jillian had everything going for her, except her taste in men.

Finally, the dense crowd ahead began to thin out, and their cramped space instantly opened up.

Jillian let out a long breath of relief, holding Stella Jarrett's hand as they walked forward, completely oblivious to Killian's inner turmoil.

Sylvia Xavier squeezed out from behind Killian.

"Ugh, this is so annoying. It's way too crowded. If I had known, I wouldn't have come."

She looked entirely dissatisfied with the trip.

But Killian didn't know why—he actually found himself liking this place.

Back at the bed-and-breakfast, Daniel Langley and Leon Quincy had also arrived.

Jillian had booked out an entire side wing, giving their group the courtyard all to themselves.

It wasn't too late into the night, and none of them felt sleepy, so they gathered around the fire pit to brew some tea.
