-Tatum stared at Elora while she ate, making her feel like he wanted to eat her.
Tatum responded in a gentle voice, “Okay, as long as the young lady doesn’t mind my ugly eating manners, then I will respectfully obey your command.”
“You seem to be a very cultured and well-mannered person, and you look gentle as jade. Although I haven’t eaten at the same table with you, I guess you don’t look bad when you eat.”
Tatum smiled.
He praised in his heart: Miss, you are worthy of being my wife, you have a unique vision and are so accurate!
Elora: …Who is your wife?
“By the way, there is something I want to know in advance.”
Tatum looked at her gently, waiting for her to ask questions.
Elora said, “During the New Year, are you going back to your hometown to celebrate the New Year? It’s quite far from where we are to Wiltspoon. I heard that the winter in your Wiltspoon is not cold at all.”
Tatum replied, “I will go back to my hometown for the New Year. Is there a place for your three meals, Miss? If so, I still want to go back. My grandmother is old, and she is looking forward to the New Year and other holidays, so that all of us cousins can go home. Usually, we all go our separate ways to make a living, so it’s hard for us brothers to get together.”
Tatum did not lie in this statement.
Elora, who had investigated Tatum, knew that Tatum had two brothers, but also several cousins. If the cousins were included, they had nine brothers. And they didn’t have a sister, which was completely opposite of her family.
If the elders knew that Tatum had so many brothers, they would be so envious of the York family’s fortune teller.
“Do you still live together?” Elora pretended not to know and asked.
After a moment of silence, Elora said, “It’s not that our family treats our daughters badly, but the elders still hope to have a son and think that the family business should be left to the son to inherit. If they really can’t give birth to a son, they will consider letting their daughter take over. That’s how the older ones like me took over the family business.”
If Elora had an older brother or a younger brother who was only one or two years younger than her, she would definitely not be the one sitting in the president’s position.
Unless her brothers were fools, the elders would let their son take over and let their daughter assist him as an assistant.
Tatum was at a loss for words.
Elora said, “In fact, the elders in my family still favor boys over girls. My brother is only a few years old. It will take more than ten years for him to grow up. Before he can take over, Tinsley and I can only marry locals.”
Elora stopped talking here.
