How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue novel Chapter 299

Elodie really liked the bouquet of tulips.

Back when she used to take care of her own place, she loved stopping by the florist for fresh flowers, arranging them in a vase to brighten up the house and give it that little spark of ceremony.

Clearly, the organizers of this high-end resort event had put some thought into things—sending flowers as a congratulatory gesture.

She cradled the bouquet as she stepped into the main hall.

Across the room, she spotted Alexander and Esmeralda waving her over.

When Elodie reached them, Esmeralda’s eyes widened at the flowers in her arms. “Those are gorgeous! Who gave them to you?”

Elodie glanced around—Joseph was nowhere in sight—before answering, “The resort staff, I think. Didn’t they give you guys any?”

Esmeralda immediately pouted. “Seriously? How could they just forget about us!”

Alexander, curious, brushed his fingers over a tulip petal. “All the centerpieces tonight are lilies. Why’d they give you tulips?”

Elodie wasn’t sure either, but she decided it didn’t matter. A little extra luck never hurt anyone.

Alexander didn’t dwell on it. Today was a big day for VistaLink Technologies, after all. He lifted his phone. “Let’s get a picture together for the socials.”

Esmeralda wasted no time, hugging Elodie and flashing a bright smile for the camera.

They snapped the photo, then Elodie set the flowers on the table.

Not far away, Maurice had watched the entire scene unfold—from the moment Elodie walked in with the bouquet.

He couldn’t help but mutter, “Showing up with flowers? Don’t tell me she’s got a secret admirer.”

Or maybe Alexander had sent them?

Nearby, Jarrod lounged on a sofa, having witnessed everything too. When Elodie came in holding the flowers, she seemed genuinely happy—she really did seem to love them.
