Chapter 168
Elodie figured Jarrod was probably with Sylvie again.
Most days, it never bothered her-whatever he did with Sylvie, she felt nothing, completely indifferent.
But tonight...
She couldn't help herself. Jealousy, or maybe just a restless curiosity, crept in.
When Elodie walked through the front door, her grandmother's face broke into a wide, relieved smile. She hurried over, fussing over Elodie―asking about her day, her appetite, the cold weather outside-before inevitably steering the conversation to Jarrod. "Why didn't he come home with you? What's that boy up to now?"
Elodie lowered her eyes. "I don't know."
Her grandmother looked displeased. Without another word, she grabbed her phone and dialed Jarrod's number.
This time, he picked up.
So—he'd been deliberately ignoring her calls before.
Her grandmother's tone turned stern. "It's after eight. You should be home for dinner."
God knows what he replied, but her grandmother's expression softened a little.
After she hung up, she squeezed Elodie's hand. "We won't wait for him. Let him figure it out himself."
