How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue novel Chapter 205
Maybe once upon a time, he actually liked it here. But back when they were still married, he never wanted to come home—mostly because of her.
Now that the divorce was final, did he feel more at ease living here?
“Alright,” Jarrod said, striding over and stopping right in front of her. “Grandma’s been asking a lot of questions. Do me a favor and help smooth things over.”
Elodie had already guessed as much before she came.
It was either about the house or something to do with his grandmother.
She hadn’t even responded yet when Jarrod’s phone rang—FaceTime.
Elodie glanced at the screen.
Sure enough, it was his grandmother.
Jarrod answered, and the old lady immediately spotted Elodie beside him. Her face lit up, her voice warm and doting: “Everyone’s home, I see?”
Elodie hesitated for a split second, then forced herself to reply, “Yes, Grandma. Things have been busy at work lately, so I haven’t had a chance to visit you.”
If not for that divorce agreement of Jarrod’s…
She wouldn’t have to keep up this charade.
His grandmother spoke with genuine affection. “That’s alright, work is important. But you still need to take care of yourself. I told this stubborn boy to bring you back to the house, and he always says you’re too busy.”
“I wasn’t lying, was I?” Jarrod replied leisurely.
His grandmother gave him a mock glare. “You’ve got a lot of nerve calling yourself a husband. Can’t even look after your wife! Just look at Elodie—she’s lost so much weight.”
Elodie knew, deep down, that his grandmother truly cared for her.
If it hadn’t been for the old woman’s protection these past few years, things would have been much harder.
She tried her best to reassure her, chatting for a while.
Just before ending the call, his grandmother suddenly said, “Next month, your grandfather’s old army buddy, Mr. Raleigh, is turning eighty. I’m not well enough to go anymore, so you two will have to go and represent the family for me.”
Elodie hadn’t seen that coming.
She and Jarrod, together?
