How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue

Chapter 184

There was no way to explain to her grandmother how Jarrod had once fought her for this ring because of Sylvie, or how he later used it to threaten her into signing the agreement.

If she tried, it would only upset the old lady all over again.

Elodie changed the subject. "I've already filed for divorce. In a month, the paperwork will be finalized."

Rosemary paused, then finally nodded, visibly relieved. "As long as it's settled, that's all that matters. But, Elodie, are you getting divorced because you two just didn't get along? Or was it something else?"

Elodie had grown used to this question by now. "We couldn't make it work. Neither of us wanted to keep dragging things out."

Rosemary's eyes sharpened with concern. "He... he didn't do this because you haven't given the Silverstein family any children after three years, did he?"

"Grandma, you're overthinking it. Jarrod never cared about that," Elodie said, shaking her head.

If the reason was just that they hadn't had kids, things wouldn't have ended up this way. Besides, having a child with her was never even on Jarrod's mind.

Rosemary had expected Elodie to be much more downcast. But as she watched her granddaughter, she could see that Elodie was genuinely unbothered-she really had let go.

Only then did Rosemary relax, patting Elodie's hand. "That's good. No matter what t you do, I'll always support you."
