The Ex-Wife He Can’t Have novel Chapter 516

The turbulent, passionate poetry of her youth hadn't found a perfect ending; it had simply withered away.

Maybe that was for the best.

Killian was ultimately just a side character in the grand story of her life. Her main storyline still required her to keep moving forward.

Jillian reached out, gently pinching her daughter's cheek as she forced down her swirling emotions. She offered a soft smile. "Why are you so upset about this? We're divorced. It's completely normal for him to marry someone else."

"But he treated you horribly this afternoon! Even if he is getting remarried, he shouldn't be so cruel to his ex-wife!" Stella huffed, crossing her arms indignantly.

Jillian chuckled, trying to soothe her. "Look at you, sounding all grown up. Alright, stop stressing over adult problems and get to bed."

Stella mumbled a string of complaints as she left the room, clearly annoyed that she was still being treated like a child.

Once the room fell silent, Jillian's mind began to race.

Was Killian's sudden icy demeanor toward her recently because he was planning to propose to Sylvia?

She gently shook her head. She found herself understanding the man less and less.

Just a while ago, she had sensed that Killian was indifferent toward Sylvia, barely paying her any attention.

Yet tonight, he orchestrated an incredibly romantic proposal setup.

It made zero sense.

But then again, none of this had anything to do with her anymore.

Late into the night, Sylvia tossed and turned in bed, replaying the evening's events in her mind. She simply couldn't figure out where things had gone wrong.

Killian had been cold to her for so long. For him to suddenly invite her to dinner and set up such a grand, romantic scene—anyone would have thought he was going to propose. But it had ended up being just a normal dinner, without a single promise made.
