Love at First Novel

Chapter 3796



Elora's sisters might find that the clothes they received didn't fit quite right- they were either too big or too small. Only Elora's clothes were a perfect fit.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

What Elora didn't know was that Tatum had helped Alonzo pick out her clothes. Tatum had a keen eye and had been observing Elora for some time. He had a good sense of her measurements, and it turned out he was spot-on, which is why the clothes Alonzo bought for her fit perfectly.

The outfits Angelo chose for Elora and Tinsley were also just the right size.

As for the other future sisters-in-law, Tatum had seen them only briefly, if at all. He hadn't met some of them yet, so he couldn't be sure about their sizes. So, he let the two young ones shop for those on their own.

If the clothes didn't fit, the sisters could always take them back to the store and exchange them.

"Young Master Alonzo is really smart and has a great memory," Tatum said.

Elora nodded. “Alonzo is indeed smart, but he loves to play too much." After a moment, she added, "But he's only six or seven years old. Kids that age are supposed to play."

Tatum agreed, "Playing is natural for a child. Alonzo is still young and doesn't need to carry the family's burdens yet. Let him enjoy his playtime, and when it's time for school, let him focus on learning. Childhood should be full of fun." Elora gave a soft hum of agreement.

She had always guided Alonzo with the same mindset: when he plays, he plays freely; when he studies, he focuses completely, without distraction. "Are you hungry, Miss?" Tatum asked with concern. "Would you like me to prepare something to eat? Once you've eaten, you could take a short walk to help with digestion, and then head back to your room to rest."

Elora often didn't eat much at parties, preferring to sip little or no wine, and

Tatum could tell she hadn't been drinking tonight. She was cautious, always aware of the attention she attracted as a young, beautiful woman from a prominent family.

In such social settings, Elora

avoided both food and drink to

protect herself from any potential risks. He reputation allowed her refuse alcohol without anyone pressing her, and people knew she was very particular about what she ate.

The chefs at her home were changed almost as often as some people change outfits, all top-tier culinary experts. So, when she didn't eat at the party, everyone simply assumed the food wasn't up to her standards.

Elora was indeed feeling a little hungry.

Thankfully, Tatum had brought her

some snacks earlier in the

afternoon, and she had eaten a couple along with a glass of warm water That had been enough to tide her over through the evening's social events without feeling too hungry.

Now that she was back home, she felt comfortable enough to eat properly.

"I'm a bit hungry," Elora admitted. "Could you make me something light to eat?"

"Of course," Tatum said, standing up. "Miss, please wait a moment while I prepare something for you."

Elora nodded, and Tatum headed to the kitchen.

After a short while, Elora stood up and carried the gifts from her brother upstairs. On her way up, she met her mother on the staircase. "Mom, is Alonzo asleep?" she asked softly.

Mrs. Ormond replied with a smile, “Alonzo fell asleep. He was so tired from the afternoon of shopping that he nodded off halfway through my story." Looking at the gift in Elora's hand, Mrs. Ormond's smile widened. “Alonzo has never bought me clothes or jewelry, but he got them for you. It seems he's more concerned about pleasing you, his big sister."

As a mother, Mrs. Ormond couldn't help but feel a bit amused that her son's thoughtful gestures didn't extend to her.
