Chapter 639

Jarrod was far more personable now than he'd ever been before.

She found herself wondering-who had changed him?

She'd thought she was the one playing hardball, but in the end, Jarrod had turned the tables.

Patricia watched his retreating back.

She drained her wine in one go, then let a wry smile tug at her lips.

Jarrod... he really did treasure Elodie.

He'd never let himself be tied down, not even for a moment.
