Chapter 605

The little fridge was hers alone.

She'd picked out this model after much deliberation; it had long been discontinued, and she was certain it was the same one from before. After all, the surface was still covered with the collection of magnets she'd gathered from her travels.

Noticing her gaze, Cara-who'd been busy all day setting up the new house- came over, opened the fridge, and pulled out a small glass jar filled with dried fruit. "Would you like a snack, ma'am?" she asked, offering it to Elodie.

Cara always remembered Elodie's preferences. Her movements were practiced and familiar, and even the dried fruit was freshly stocked.

Elodie had assumed the fridge would be empty. But a quick glance told her otherwise the dried fruit was clearly homemade, and the date on the label was

recent.

"No, thank you," Elodie declined.

Just then, Jarrod strolled in, cup of water in hand, and caught the tail end of her reply.

When Elodie noticed him, she grew a little suspicious.

Did Jarrod like these snacks, too? Was that why the house was always stocked with them?

Jarrod, sensing her stare, rapped his knuckles lightly on the table and drawled, "Why are you looking at me like that? Am I not allowed to like this fridge?"
