Married At First Sight Chapter 4262


    Olddy York smiled warmly at Elora. "Elora, if you have something to say, go ahead. I''m listening."


    Facing olddy York''s kind and gentle demeanor, Elora''s expression softened, and her voice grew quieter, almost tender.


    "Olddy York, thank you for thinking so highly of me. Since you''ve chosen me for Tatum, I assume you know about my family situation."


    Olddy York nodded without hesitation.


    She knew everything.


    She made it a point to understand the background of every potential granddaughter-inw.


    "I can''t marry someone who lives far away," Elora admitted honestly. "If Tatum and I are together, he''d have to live with my family. I''m very particr about certain things-like having him around for my meals. That means he wouldn''t be able to leave for long periods, and his visits back home would be short. Tatum is your grandson, someone you''ve raised with care. Unless it''s absolutely necessary, I wouldn''t ask him to live with my family."


    If Tatum married Elora and stayed in Annenburg long-term, it would essentially mean he was living with her family. While some families might ept that, it''s notmon, especially in a family as prominent as the Yorks.


    Olddy York responded calmly, "When children grow up, they go where life takes them—whether for love or work. How many people leave their hometowns and settle elsewhere?


    Tatum''s job is already in your city, so it''s natural for him to live there. Even if hees back less often in the future, that''s okay. We can always visit. I''m old, but his parents are still young. They can easily take a ne to see you for the next 20 years.


    "By then, your responsibilities will lighten. Whether you choose to stay there or return to Wiltspoon will be entirely up to you."


    After all, it''s not umon for children to move to big cities for work, settle down, and rarely return home. Some only visit during the holidays, while others might not go back for years.


    Elora hesitated, then asked, "olddy York, can you really speak for your son and daughterinw on this?"


    Olddy York smiled reassuringly. "Don''t worry about that. My son and daughter-inw are very


    open-minded. They won''t object


    Besides, it''s not like you''ll never


    Olddy York trusted her judgment. She had never been wrong about the women she chose for her grandsons. If she hadn''t approved of their character, she wouldn''t have agreed to the marriages in the first ce. She was open-minded but


    had her standards.


    "Elora, you like my Tatum, don''t you?" olddy York''s eyes sparkled with curiosity.


    Elora didn''t shy away. “I do. This is


    the first time I''ve felt this way about someone. I don''t want it to be-


    e-sided or end in separation, which is why I needed to know who Tatum''s fiancée is."


    That''s why she hade here today, even if it felt a little forward.


    "Tatum is much easier to handle than his brother, Zack," Olddy York said with a chuckle. “Zack''s a tough nut to crack, but Tatum is gentle, patient, and an excellent cook. He''s perfect for you."


    If Elora weren''t so particr, olddy York wouldn''t have considered pairing her with Tatum in the first ce.


    Elora smiled faintly. "Even the toughest men have a soft side when ites to the right person."


    Olddy York nodded in agreement. "Exactly. Seren has Zack wrapped around her finger."


    Elora thought to herself, And isn''t Serenity just as wrapped around Zachary?
