The Ex-Wife He Can’t Have novel Chapter 510

"Your mom has her own career now, and we need to be supportive of her," Killian advised.

"I know," Connor said matter-of-factly. "Dad, you didn't think I was actually mad, did you? I'm not that petty."

He flashed his dad a small grin.

A wave of tenderness washed over Killian, feeling like a massive fissure cracking open across a long-frozen glacier.

He figured it was just age catching up to him, making the bond with his son deepen day by day.

"Alright, focus on your homework. I'll spend the weekend with you. We can go wherever you want," Killian offered.

"You don't have to work this weekend?"

"I'm the boss. I don't punch a clock," Killian reassured him with a chuckle.

True to his word, Killian dedicated the entire weekend to his son.

On Saturday, he took him to the tennis courts, followed by an afternoon of soccer. By Sunday, they were wandering the halls of the science museum.

Having recently won a major prize in a youth programming competition, Connor was now part of a tech company's youth division, building robots for international tournaments.

Killian fully supported the endeavor, deliberately choosing not to leverage his wealth or connections to pave an easy path for the boy.

He just wanted his son to have the freedom to experience a normal childhood.

That evening, Sylvia's call came through. "Killian, what have you been so busy with these last few days? You've been basically a ghost."

A trace of bitter resentment bled into her tone.

"I'm spending time with Con," Killian replied flatly.

He hadn't seen her all weekend, and Sylvia had likely deduced he was with his son. She hadn't volunteered to join them, clearly still stung by Connor's hostile attitude from their last outing.
