Tatum said, "Grandma, do you think I only miss you when I''m feeling down or when my future wife finds fault with you?"


    "What else would it be?" she replied yfully. "If you suddenly say you miss me, of course I''ll think you''ve been wronged. But knowing you, you''re toughskinned and resilient. A little criticism or dislike wouldn''t faze you." Grandma''s confidence in her grandchildren shone through. She knew the values she and herte husband had instilled in them. Her grandchildren were broad-minded, generous, and ambitious individuals with big hearts. They were the kind of people who didn''t let small things bother them and were destined for great blessings because of their outlook on life. "I made some snacks for Elora this afternoon, and while we were chatting, she mentioned you. That''s when I realized how much I missed you," Tatum said.N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.


    Grandmaughed warmly. "Oh, is that so? Then why didn''t you call me right then? No wonder I kept sneezing this afternoon! I thought I was catching a cold and was about to make myself some ginger tea. Turns out, it was just you thinking of me."


    Used to his grandmother''s humor, Tatum continued, "After that, I took my two little brothers-inw shopping. Those kids have so much energy-they never got tired. But I was exhausted! We bought a bunch of things, and I was carrying all the bags. When we walked through the streets, people kept staring, probably thinking I looked like a young dad."


    Grandmaughed even harder. "I hope to be a young grandma one day, with people turning to look at me twice as much! If you want to win over Elora, you need to impress not only her but also her family and friends. They all have to see that you''re worthy of her." Tatum, with a smile full of confidence, said, "I think Elora and I are a perfect match."


    Grandma, used to her grandson''s confidence and slight narcissism, just nodded. After all, confidence ran in the family. Even young Rowan, who wasn''t fully grown yet, shared that trait. It was clearly something they inherited from her-Grandma May herself was a very confident and self-assured person.


    "Well, like grandmother, like grandchildren," she thought with pride. She was very satisfied with her nine grandkids.


    "Sixth, is there anything else you want to say, other than suddenly missing your grandma?" she asked. It was clear she was getting restless, eager to return to her square dancing. Tatum teased, "Grandma, don''t you miss us grandchildren even a little?"


    "Why would I miss you? When you and Elora give me a great-granddaughter to hold, then I''ll start missing you. Right now, there are too many of you to keep track of!" she said with a chuckle. Tatumughed. "When I finally have a daughter, I know there''ll be no room for me in your heart-just her."
