Married at First Sight

Chapter 3655

Mrs. Ormond smiled and said, “You’re not fat at all. You’ve just gained a bit of weight, which is good. You’ll look better with a bit more roundness. Being too thin doesn’t suit you.” Elora replied, “I’m not overeating. I’m still busy and exercising every day, but I’m still gaining weight.” Mrs. Ormond responded, “That just means you’re enjoying Tatum’s cooking. As long as you have three balanced meals a day and your body absorbs the nutrients, your complexion will improve too.” Tatum was Mrs. Ormond’s favorite chef among all they had. Not only did he cook well, but he also had a pleasing appearance and a refined demeanor. He didn’t seem like an ordinary chef but more like a wealthy, well-mannered gentleman. “He’s doing well for now,” Elora said. “Mom, is Tinsley still at the company?” Mrs. Ormond replied, “Since you’re away on business, Tinsley’s been handling the company and socializing. She’s really busy, leaving early and coming home late. I haven’t seen much of her lately.” “Your second aunt came over a few days ago, complaining that she hasn’t seen Tinsley in days. I told her this is just how it is in our family. Thank you for all your hard work.” The two boys in the family, Alonzo and Angelo, were only six and five years old. Even after the New Year, Alonzo would only be seven, still many years away from adulthood. And even when they grew up, they wouldn’t immediately take over the family business. They’d need experience, achievements, and the trust of the company before assuming the family responsibilities. Until then, the women of the family had to keep things going. Mrs. Ormond sighed. “Elora, I feel for you. You’re always traveling for business, and even when you’re home, you’re swamped with meetings, documents, and social events. Sometimes, you even have to attend various functions.” “Girls should be treated like jewels, living carefree lives. But because of our family, you’ve had to carry such a heavy burden.” Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

“You’re already twenty-six and haven’t even had your first love yet. I’m worried about your marriage. There aren’t many eligible young men in Annenburg. Some are already married, and those who are single don’t feel worthy of you.” When it came to Elora’s love life, it was a sad topic. She was the most outstanding young woman in Annenburg, and no man seemed to be her match. Elora was strong and independent, and while many admired her, most men were intimidated by her strength. Some men were interested, but only in the Ormond family’s wealth, not in Elora herself. Because of this, Elora was already twenty-six, nearly twenty-seven, and had yet to experience her first love. Tinsley, also twenty-six, had her admirers, but she wasn’t as serious about it as Elora. “Mom, I’m still young. I’m only going to be twenty-seven, not thirty-six. People with successful careers are marrying and having children later these days. I’m not in a rush. If I’m still single at thirty-six, then we can start worrying.” Elora had once dreamed of love, only to be let down by reality.
