Chapter 3791
The people who gather to dance in the square are all from the workers' families. They understand each other's routines and respect their neighbors' peace. Since they all live near the villa, they interact daily as colleagues and friends. They wouldn't disrupt everyone's rest just for their own fun. Tatum smiled and said, "That's great. It's lively and helps pass the time." He knew that his grandmother was a spirited soul who couldn't sit still.
Before, she was busy setting up blind dates for them, but now she had a different focus.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Although River and Álex, the younger family members under her care, were adults, they were still new to the world, having only just stepped into society less than two years ago. His grandmother wasn't in a hurry to see them married. And then there was Rowan, still working hard for the college entrance exams.
With age catching up, Grandma didn't travel as much as she used to. Instead, she enjoyed chatting with her friends, sharing family stories, or dancing like she was doing now. Grandma May said, "That's right. I'm enjoying myself before your nephew arrives. Once he's born, I'll be busy taking care of the baby and won't have time for fun."
Tatum laughed, "Grandma, you talk as if you're the only one who'll take care of the baby. There are plenty of people in the family who can do that. You can just enjoy watching over him. By the way, didn't you say the baby in my sisterin-law's belly might be my niece?" The old lady chuckled and said, "Well, I can say that all I want, but Sonny insists the baby is a little brother, not a sister. Your York family is like a Buddhist temple-we've never had a daughter or even a granddaughter. I'm hoping to finally have a great-granddaughter this time." She then changed the topic, "So, any progress on your end? You're not planning to come home for the New Year, are you? If you're not, how about Grandma brings your parents to join you for the New Year? And maybe we can meet your future in-laws too." Tatum knew his grandmother was teasing him, but he was still nervous that she might actually show up at the Ormond family's doorstep during the holidays.
He quickly replied, "Grandma, I've only been here a short while-how can things move that fast? Let's just say I haven't been fired yet. As long as I still have the job, there's hope." "Only a short while? I thought you've been gone for over half a year,"
Grandma said thoughtfully. "Or maybe it's Kevin who's been away that long. It's hard to keep track when you have so many grandchildren. Sometimes I can't remember who's doing what. Maybe I'm getting old, starting to lose my memory."
She added with a sigh, "It's your eldest brother's fault. He keeps me at home all day, and without a great-granddaughter to dote on, I'm bored to death. It's making me forgetful."
Tatum smiled, "Grandma, do you think you're still eighteen? You're over eighty now, yet you're always on the go! Brother's just trying to look out for you."
Grandma May gave a little pout. "Alright, alright, let's not talk about him. He'll be back soon anyway, and I won't be traveling anywhere in the meantime." "Grandma, I miss you," Tatum said suddenly.
His grandmother paused, then her face softened into a smile. "Why do you say that out of the blue? Are you feeling down?"
Thinking of Tatum working as a chef at the Ormond household, she worried that he might be struggling with the change in his role and comforted him, "There's no shame in any job. Cooking is something you love, isn't it? Isn't it wonderful that your work aligns with your passion? Plus, you're cooking for your future wife! In no time, you'll have her hooked on your food, and she won't be able to live without you. Or is she giving you trouble, criticizing your dishes?"
