BossNovelHe couldn't bring himself to wake Elodie. Instead, he gently draped another blanket over her and drove smoothly
back to their place.
They'd actually been living at his family's old house for a while now.
It was all because of Nadia. His grandmother absolutely refused to let him take care of Nadia alone-she doted on
the little girl too much to allow it.
In the end, he'd relented.
Besides, Nadia seemed to have taken an unexpected liking to Octavia. Octavia, who used to spend all her time
out and about, now chevery day just to play with Nadia.
But with the wedding tomorrow, the old house was hectic-too many details, too much noise. Elodie was
exhausted. So he decided to return to their own hfor the night, letting her get a good night's rest before
everything began.
When they arrived, Elodie was still asleep.
Jarrod got out, circled around to her side, opened the car door, and carefully lifted her out, tucking her arm
around his neck.
She stirred, her eyelids fluttering open for a moment.
He met her gaze. "It's alright. We're home. Go back to sleep."
With a soft sigh, she nestled closer and drifted off again.
He carried her upstairs.
Laying her gently on the bed, Jarrod slipped off her shoes and shrugged the heavy coat from her shoulders,
moving with practiced tenderness. He supported her head, making sure she was resting comfortably.
When everything was done, he sat on the edge of the bed for a while, watching her peaceful face as she slept.
He knew she'd been run ragged lately. Every the called her for a video chat, she'd be tapping away at code
late into the night. These past few weeks had been exhausting for her.

If it weren't for the fact that the wedding was tomorrow, he might have called the whole thing off, just so she
could get srest.
Thinking it over, Jarrod tucked the comforter around Elodie once more, then pulled out his phone and checked an
app.
The next morning, Elodie was woken by her phone ringing.
Lucinda's voice was brisk and no-nonsense. "It's time. The hair and makeup team
is already here. Get up so we can start getting you ready."
Elodie jolted upright as the realization hit her-today was the day. A quick glance at the clock: past seven.
Not many brides slept in this late on their wedding day.
She couldn't help but glare at the man next to her, who was still sleepily curled around her. Jarrod lifted his head,
meeting her gaze with a lazy smile. "No need to rush It's just a ceremony."
Elodie still felt half-asleep, but there was no tto worry about how tired she
was.
She had guests to greet and a long day ahead.
She scrambled out of bed, hurrying to the bathroom.
"Why didn't you wakeup sooner? If people find out | overslept on my wedding day, I'll never hear the end of
it," she muttered as she darted around the room.
Jarrod watched her frantic movements, amusement tugging at his lips. "Just blit on me. Tell them | wouldn't
let you get up."
Elodie poked her head out of the bathroom, shot him a glare, and shut the door to start her shower.
Jarrod didn't waste any teither. He got up, tidied the room a bit, checked the ton his phone, and,
satisfied with the schedule, headed downstairs.
By the tElodie finished her shower and got herself together, it was already close to eight.
When she cdownstairs, the spacious living room was buzzing with activity. More than a dozen people were
already waiting for her.

She glanced over at Jarrod, who was still lounging on the sofa, scrolling through
his phone. “Still looking at your phone? We're running late—what if we don't make
it in time?"
Jarrod raised an eyebrow and tucked his phone away. "Then we let them wait.” Elodie was speechless.
