Elora asked, “When is your sister-in-law due?”
She didn’t have a backup private chef. If Tatum took a few days off, she could manage, but
if he required an extended leave, she may not approve it.
Serenity was pregnant, and Elora had learned about the York family’s situation through a close
friend. As Tatum’s sister-in-law, it was natural for him to want to visit his nephew.
“I’m not sure,” Tatum replied. “I asked my eldest brother, and he estimated about two months.
However, it could be earlier or later—it’s hard to say. I’ll go back when she’s in the hospital, and once
she’s discharged and resting at home, I’ll return to work. Then, when the baby turns one
month old, I’ll definitely go back for two days. After all, he’s my nephew—the first child of our
York family’s next generation.”
Elora considered his request before responding. “If you only need two or three days off, that’s
acceptable. But if it’s longer than three days, I may not approve it. You know how particular I am—that’s
why I keep changing chefs. Right now, I’m very satisfied with you, and I’ve gotten used to
your cooking. I can’t bear the thought of you being away for too long.”
She made a mental note to hire two more private chefs and rotate them in shifts, ensuring that if
someone needed time off, she wouldn’t be left without meals.
Tatum reassured her, “It won’t be more than three days. As the younger brother-in-law, I just
need to visit my sister-in-law at the hospital. My eldest brother will take care of everything else. There’s nothing for us to worry about. I mainly want to see the baby. Since Rowan’s
birth, there hasn’t been a newborn in the York family for over ten years. I’m really eager to meet
him. When he turns one month old, I’ll return for two days—just enough.
to greet the guests and then return to work the following afternoon.” Tatum knew better than to take too much time off. His future wife had specific preferences, and if he were absent for too long, she might replace him with another chef.
“Don’t worry, Miss. I’ve been training Andy and the others. They’re professional chefs, and with my guidance, they can already prepare meals that meet your standards. While I’m away, Andy will handle your meals and ensure you won’t go hungry.”
Andy was the head chef for the Ormond family’s main household. Since Elora rarely dined at home, Andy was typically responsible for the family’s daily meals. However, since Tatum’s arrival, Andy’s workload had lightened considerably.
After working together for months, Tatum had come to understand Andy’s personality—steady, humble, and always eager to improve. Andy frequently sought advice, and Tatum willingly guided him, as well as any chef who asked. Tatum never worried about others surpassing him; he learned from them too.
Moreover, anyone employed by the Ormond family, even a gardener, underwent thorough background checks before hiring. Individuals with questionable character simply didn’t make the cut. Therefore, he wasn’t concerned about Andy taking his position.
Elora’s trust in him had deepened, especially after discovering his true identity, which made her appreciate him even more. She wanted to express that no matter how well Andy followed his recipes, it wouldn’t be the same. Tatum’s cooking had a personal touch, likely because her attitude toward him was different. Yet, when the words were on the tip of her tongue, she held back.
Instead, after a moment of reflection, she said, “That’s fine. When your nephew turns one month old, I’ll see if I can adjust my schedule to fit in a trip to Wiltspoon with you. I
I need to explore the market while I’m there. Additionally, I would like to visit your grandmother.” A glimmer of admiration appeared in her eyes. “I’ve become increasingly curious about her. I asked Rosie, and she told me that Grandma York is a legendary figure. I have a deep admiration for her. When the time comes, I’ll likely reach out to you and your family.”
