Elora turned her head towards Tatum.
Tatum paused his massage and gently asked, “Is this uncomfortable for you? I can adjust. I’m not very experienced with massages, as I rarely give them, but I’m eager to improve. In the future, whenever I have time, I’ll give you more massages to enhance my skills and serve you better.”
Elora smiled softly. “No, it’s perfect. Every time you mention Old Mrs. York, I can’t help but want to meet her.”
To Elora, Old Mrs. York had become a legendary figure—an extraordinary woman with an unforgettable presence.
Tatum kept his thoughts to himself. Grandma has already met you, and you’ve seen her too—you just didn’t realize who she was.
His grandmother must have chosen Elora for him after a thorough period of observation. She had taken the time to understand Elora, recognizing her strength and integrity.
Grandma must have been confident in Elora’s character and abilities to have made such a choice.
“When you’re less busy, if you’re interested, you could visit Wiltspoon in the spring,” Tatum suggested. “When the flowers are in full bloom, the scenery is stunning. I would be happy to be your personal tour guide and cover everything—lodging, meals, and even your round-trip tickets.”
Elora’s smile broadened. “It’s been ages since I’ve traveled. My schedule is always packed, making it hard to find time. Maybe someday. Or you could invite your grandmother to visit Annenburg. Although, I imagine traveling might be challenging for her at her age. If she’s willing, I could arrange a private plane to bring her here. I’d really love to meet her—I’m so curious about her.”
Elora admired strong women above all else. Women like Old Mrs. York, who had wielded power and
Her influence, evident from a young age and carried gracefully into her later years, served as Tatum’s inspiration.
Tatum responded, “Grandma isn’t home right now. She’s off traveling. She remains in excellent health and enjoys her adventures—sometimes she even slips away without letting us know. Last year, she stayed close to home primarily because my eldest brother kept encouraging her to do so. This was mainly because my sister-in-law was pregnant, and Grandma wanted to ensure my brother was taking good care of her. Now that the baby has arrived, she’s back to her adventures.
“This time, she took my mom and two aunts along. My dad, on the other hand, stayed home alone. He was so lonely that he called my brother to complain about it.”
Elora’s interest in the York family grew deeper with each word. Listening to Tatum describe them painted a vivid picture of a family filled with love and warmth. Even Tatum’s parents, who must be in their sixties by now, still appeared profoundly in love. It was both admirable and enviable.
“Where did your grandmother go this time?” Elora asked, allowing herself to relax under Tatum’s skilled hands.
Having already impressed her with his cooking, Tatum now showcased another talent. As the young heir of a family worth billions, his versatility continued to astonish her.
“She went to the provincial capital to visit an old friend,” Tatum explained. “That friend has a sweet granddaughter whom my grandmother adores. Grandma visits her occasionally and sometimes stays for weeks or even months.”
Elora chuckled softly. “Your grandmother sounds delightful. It’s easy to picture her doting on that little girl.”
The York family resembled a Buddhist temple—peaceful yet lacking daughters for three generations. There’s a saying: if a woman marries into the York family and gives birth to a daughter, her status will soar.
Overnight, Elora redirected her focus and said, “Alright, you should start preparing lunch now. I’ll eat once I’ve completed my work.” Tatum promptly halted and responded respectfully, “Of course. I’ll begin making lunch right away, young lady.”
