Chapter 377

Elodie wasn't the least bit concerned about that.

Even if something did go wrong, it wouldn't fall on her shoulders. She hadn't been the one to suggest revealing anything, after all.

"As for your grandmother, I'll send someone to invite her over later," her own grandmother added.

At that, Elodie's brow furrowed ever so slightly. She'd almost forgotten about that detail. "That's not necessary, Grandma. My grandmother's been exhausted lately dealing with my uncle's situation. Let's not trouble them today. I'll thank her for you instead."

Her grandmother knew nothing about the divorce. If she really did try to invite Elodie's other grandmother, the whole thing could blow up.

She had to pacify her own grandmother first.

"Alright, alright. Your grandmother has certainly had a rough time lately. I'll have Jarrod pick you up then; I'll let him know." Clearly in high spirits today, her grandmother changed the subject almost immediately, already making new arrangements.

And before Elodie could protest, the call ended-as if her grandmother feared she'd have a chance to object.

Every exit was blocked off, every route predetermined.

Elodie stared at her phone screen, her brows drawn together.

Did her grandmother and Jarrod not consider that?
