Married At First Sight Chapter 4271 

Chapter 4271 

“Well, I’m back—and I had a midnight snack,” Elora said, glancing at her mother’s expression. She could tell right away—her mother had seen her and Tatum hugging. 

After a brief silence, she decided to speak first. 

“Mom.” 

“Elora.” 

They spoke at the same time, then fell silent again. 

“You go first, Mom.” Elora stepped closer. “You’re clearly not sleepy yet. Come to my room— we can have a mother-daughter chat.” 

That way, they wouldn’t disturb her father and brother. 

Mrs. Ormond followed her daughter into the bedroom. 

She rarely entered Elora’s space. Ever since Elora started junior high, she had made it a point not to go into her daughter’s room without permission. 

As her children grew, they needed their own privacy, and she respected that. 

“Mom, sit down. Do you want some water?” Elora asked, noticing her mother’s hesitation. She motioned for her to sit on the sofa. 

“I’m not thirsty. No need for water.” Mrs. Ormond studied her daughter for a moment before saying, “Elora, you just got back from a business trip. Why don’t you take a hot bath first? I’ll sit here for a bit, and we can talk after.” 

Truthfully, she needed a little time to process what she had just seen. 

Tatum was a wonderful man, and his cooking was exceptional—so exceptional that Elora hadn’t gotten tired of it after all this time. 

She had assumed her daughter’s private chef arrangement would only last for a short period, thinking that Tatum was simply doing his job to stay employed. 

She had also noticed how attentive Tatum was to Elora, but she hadn’t thought too much of it. 

And as for Elora, her gentleness toward Tatum hadn’t concerned her either. After all, Tatum wasn’t just any chef—he was the sixth young master of the prestigious York family from Wiltspoon. 

Tatum… 

He was a good man. That much was undeniable. 

He was the same age as Elora, and they got along well. 

He was gentle, refined, and treated others with warmth and respect. 

His family background was impeccable, which was rare and valuable. 

But he was from Wiltspoon—too far from the Ormond family. 

That was the real problem. 

It wasn’t that she wanted to keep Elora tied down or force her to carry the family burden alone. 

But a marriage that took her daughter so far away? 

That was a risk she wasn’t sure she could accept.
