How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue

Chapter 209

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 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."
