How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue

Chapter 357

Keith had just come in carrying a pot of herbal tea when Elodie happened to walk by. She ignored him completely, brushing past without so much as a glance.

She didn't even look back.

Keith was taken aback. He glanced at Jarrod, then at the tea in his hands. “Mr. Silverstein, should I...?"

"Understood. I'll keep that in mind."

Only then did Charlie continue, "Are you free tomorrow? Come by for dinner. We can talk in detail."

Elodie agreed obediently, "Of course."
