How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue

Chapter 222

Chapter 222

A sleek Rolls-Royce Cullinan idled just ahead, and standing beside it was Jarrod.

His gaze flicked to Elodie, registering her presence without surprise. He coolly shifted his eyes away, settling instead on the space behind her.

The moment Sylvie emerged from the terminal and caught sight of Jarrod, a blush of delight touched her cheeks. She breezed right past Elodie, pretending not to notice her at all, and headed straight for Jarrod.

Alexander scowled. "So that's why he didn't show up with everyone else—he's been here since early morning, waiting to pick someone up."

He watched Jarrod and Sylvie with a mix of annoyance and amusement. "Honestly, with how inseparable they are, maybe they should just tie themselves together with a belt."

Elodie pulled her coat tighter around her and acted as if she hadn't seen the pair.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the arrivals hall, Naylor Whitaker stepped out of the airport and noticed Jarrod and Sylvie together. He strolled over and greeted them. "Didn't expect to see you here too, Mr. Silverstein."

His gaze lingered on Sylvie for a moment, quickly piecing together that Jarrod was here for her.

Sylvie replied with her signature gentle smile. “Jarrod flew in yesterday for a meeting. He's planning to stay with me until everything wraps up."

Naylor found himself reevaluating their relationship yet again. For a man with a schedule as packed as Jarrod's to drop everything and accompany Sylvie the entire time-there was no doubt how much he cherished her.

The conversation between the three flowed easily, laughter and warmth in the air.

Elodie paid them no mind. She checked the time on her phone.
