How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue novel Chapter 841

He tried his best not to disturb Elodie.

By the time he’d perfected the final version, it was nearly four in the morning.

Jarrod stared at the computer screen for a moment, then checked the date again. Next month, on the eighteenth, it would be exactly one month since Nadia had been “born”—her first month, a good omen. If he hurried, they could hold the wedding on the same day.

He looked up, gazing at the figure asleep with her back to him across the room. After a brief pause, he turned his attention back to the computer, his expression calm as he worked.

The news that they were planning a wedding was met with nothing but enthusiastic approval from his grandmother—she was practically overjoyed.

She immediately threw herself into contacting bridal designers and wedding planners.

Lucinda, with her wide circle of friends and connections, was the obvious choice to take charge. The older woman handed off the entire task without hesitation. “You take care of it for the kids,” she declared.

She’s representing the national team, so we can’t seem wasteful or extravagant. We need to keep up a good public image.”
