By the the'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 sday.
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.
He converted the finished invitation design into a digital version, drafted a concise but elegant message, and
sent it directly to Ivan at TerraGreen Solutions.
Only then did he finally head to bed, slipping in beside Elodie and gently pulling her into his arms, a silent smile
curving his lips.
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.
Lucinda was left speechless, handed the responsibility before she could even voice an opinion.
Jarrod, for his part, had a clear vision for the wedding. When Lucinda cto ask about his preferences, he sat
back in his chair, sipping his coffee as he laid out his requirements: “It has to be grand and high-profile, but not

pointless formalities. The venue should be unique, preferably open-air, with plenty of freedom for the guests. We
can invite the media, but only after carefully screening them. Quality over quantity. As for the dress, it shouldn't
be bulky or uncomfortable-Elodie shouldn't have to suffer through it—but it still needs to look and feel elegant.
She's representing the national team, so we can't seem wasteful or extravagant. We need to keep up a good
public image."
Lucinda pressed her lips together, at a loss for words.
"Don't you think your list of demands is a bit much?" she finally asked. Did he really see her as his personal
assistant?
Jarrod set his cup down, then seemed to remember something else. "And when you've narrowed down the

Lucinda's temple throbbed. After all these years of marriage, she still didn't understand why he insisted on
making things so complicated.
Every single one of Jarrod's requirements was clearly for Elodie's sake—so she wouldn't get worn out. He was
terrified she might be exhausted, yet insisted on making the whole affair as grand as possible.
Wanting everything, all at once.
Lucinda frowned and decided not to say anything more. She turned and left.
Elodie, meanwhile, had no idea what Jarrod was arranging. Her own work was piling up, and there was still the
matter of the Watts investigation, As a key witness, she would need to give a statement about the events
abroad-her testimony alone was enough to kill any hope Watts had of returning home. s
Jarrod drove her to the training center. Just before she got out of the car, he told her, "If Eldrion Global or Eaton
Aldridge reach out, you don't have to deal with them. I'll handle it."
There was no reason for Elodie to be troubled by such things.
She knew Jarrod could manage it. He wouldn't have chosen this path without a backup plan-he could handle
pressure from all sides.
