How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue

Chapter 656

Chapter 656

Esmeralda genuinely didn't want Elodie to get tangled up with Jarrod any further, especially not with something like this. In her mind, the outcome was already set -this child would never be born.

Why make things more complicated?

Elodie had long since made up her mind. She shook her head lightly. "No need. Let's just pretend none of this ever happened."

"Thank you." Elodie kept her eyes lowered, her body wracked with chills, though her face betrayed nothing.
