Fellow peers were jealous of each other.
Tatum said, “I will make adjustments based on the eldest lady’s evaluation. That way, I can make progress. As long as the eldest lady is satisfied with every dish I cook, I can start my apprenticeship.”
Uncle Joly smiled and said, “In that case, the eldest lady will probably be unable to leave you.”
Tatum wanted to say that he would be happy to cook for Elora for the rest of his life. However, it is better not to say this, as it will easily make people think wrongly. Even if his secondary goal is to capture Elora, he cannot reveal such thoughts.
Elora took care of the family business, which showed that she was a smart and capable person. It was not easy to win over such a strong woman.
Unexpectedly, it took Kevin a long time. With Serenity’s help, he took a shortcut and won Hayden’s heart.
After Uncle Joly finished speaking, he realized that those words were easy for people to imagine, so he quickly changed the topic.
“Tatum, you have been busy all afternoon. Go to bed early and prepare breakfast for the eldest lady tomorrow. The eldest lady and Young Master Alonzo are the first to have breakfast. Young Master Alonzo has to go to school, so it is early. Every day, the oldest lady sends Young Master Alonzo off. After returning from school, she will go to the company, so the siblings will go together.
At around seven o’clock in the morning, you have to prepare breakfast for the eldest lady and Young Master Alonzo. You can prepare breakfast for everyone else after nine o’clock. Mr. and Mrs. Ormond usually get up around 10:30 to 11 o’clock.”
Tatum: “At this point, breakfast and lunch will be eaten together.”
Uncle Joly nodded. “Mr. and Mrs. Ormond are like this. They sleep until noon and don’t get up. They go out after lunch and come back for dinner in the evening. Sometimes they don’t come back. When they don’t come back, I will tell you in advance. As long as they don’t come back. When you eat, rest; just fill your stomach.”
In the main room, only Elora and Alonzo have breakfast.
Tatum said, “The eldest lady, won’t she come back for dinner tonight?”
