Back then, their grandmother asked Zachary, the eldest brother, to marry Serenity, a woman he barely knew, to repay a debt of kindness. Despite being a strong-willed man, Zachary agreed because he valued his bond with their grandmother above all else. As long as she was happy, he was willing to sacrifice his own happiness. Fortunately, everything worked out for the best. Now, the love between Zachary and Serenity is well-known throughout Wiltspoon.
Elora looked at Tatum, and for a moment, they held each other''s gaze. She then asked, "Have you trained?"
"Yes, I''ve been training for more than ten years. My grandmother is a wise woman with exceptional skills in managing the family. She raised us to be both learned and physically capable," Tatum replied.
Elora recalled that she had once investigated Tatum''s background but only looked into his personal life, not delving too deeply into his family history. She knew they were arge family living in an ancestral home, but those details came from Tatum''s modest descriptions. He hadn''t offered much, and she hadn''t pried further.
She figured there was no need to dig too deeply, like tracing a family tree, since she wasn''t nning on marrying him. As long as his background was clean and he had good character, that was enough for her.
"You''ve got a remarkable grandmother," Elora said. "And it seems like your family is quite well-off. It''s no easy feat to train your kids to be both educated and skilled in martial arts without having some means." Tatum''s family had many brothers, and raising them to be well-rounded required significant resources. Martial arts training, in particr, required both time and money.
Tatum smiled and said, "We''re doing alright. Our ancestors left us a good foundation. Some of my brothers have gone on to start their own businesses, while others manage what was passed down to us." Elora nodded and didn''t press the matter further.
She stayed quiet, and so did Tatum. He thought to himself, if Elora ever uses him of hiding his true identity, he can''t be med-she never asked directly. He wasn''t about to volunteer everything without her asking. Besides, she had already sent people to Wiltspoon twice to check on him but didn''t uncover much. He couldn''t be med for her iplete investigation.
In fact, it was Zachary who helped him keep his identity hidden, ensuring she didn''t find out that he was actually the sixth young master of the York family.
Elora wasn''t familiar with Wiltspoon because it was far from her world, so she never made the connection between the York name and the powerful York Group, thergestpany in Wiltspoon.
If she had been more aware of Wiltspoon, she might have questioned whether Tatum was linked to the York Corporation once she knew he was from there and had a sessful background.
"Sister," Alonzo said eagerly, "brother Tatum and I brought some tasty snacks for you and our second sister. Eat them while they''re still hot-they just came out of the oven! I watched brother Tatum make them, and Angelo and I tasted a few pieces. They''re really delicious."
At their age, the two little brothers still had a sweet tooth.
Judging by Alonzo''s love for sweets, he''d probably enjoy them just as much even when he''s older.
Elora smiled, "Really? Then I must try them."
Angelo added, "Elder sister, you really should try them. They''re so good! My brother and I wanted to eat more, but brother Tatum wouldn''t let us. He said he was saving them for you."
"Brother Tatum is so biased," Alonzo said with a grin. "He makes all the delicious food just for our eldest sister." Angelo stuck out his tongue yfully.
"Angelo," Elora said with a smile, "if there''s something you''d like to eat, just let me know. I''ll ask brother Tatum to make it for you."
