How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue

Chapter 209

The group of visitors took their leave.

Sylvie pulled out her phone and sent a quick message, telling Jason, "You all go ahead and eat together-Jarrod ordered enough for everyone."

Jason grinned, immediately replying, "Well then, I won't stand on ceremony. Looks like I get to enjoy Mr. Silverstein's care package thanks to Ms. Fielding's good graces."

Sylvie gave a small laugh and returned to her conversation.

Jason came over, handing out lunch boxes to Elodie and Esmeralda.

"You must be starving. Dig in-Mr. Silverstein's got a soft spot for people."

Esmeralda's expression remained stiff. "Is it really okay for us to eat Mr. Silverstein's lunch for Ms. Fielding?"

Jason chuckled. "Mr. Silverstein dotes on Ms. Fielding, sure, but he's thoughtful- he made sure everyone was taken care of."

He waved a few more colleagues over to grab their meals.

Esmeralda gave a mocking snort. "First wife eating the mistress's leftovers-now I've seen everything."
