Married At First Sight Chapter 3794 Chapter 3794

Sonny asked, "I'm really happy, Uncle Tatt. But why do you have to work so far away? Why doesn't your boss give you a break? Doesn't everyone get a holiday during the New Year? Even my mom's coming back soon." In Sonny's eyes, his mom was always the busiest person, so if she was coming home for the holidays, he assumed everyone else should be able to take a break too. He couldn't imagine that some people still had to work. Tatum explained, "I have to work far away because I need to earn money. My boss pays a good salary, and I even get triple pay for working during holidays. I don't want to have money problems, so I'm skipping the holiday." "Uncle Tatt, talk to my Uncle Zack later. Aunt Seren's telling me to go to bed. Good night, Uncle Tatt."

Sonny said his goodnight and was gently led away by Serenity.

Now, Tatum could focus on his conversation with Zachary. They talked for about half an hour until Tatum heard a knock at the door. He opened it while still on the call and found Uncle Joly, the butler, standing there. "Tatum, the eldest lady is back. She asked for you to come to the main hall right away," Uncle Joly said.

"Okay, I'll head over right now. Thanks for letting me know, Uncle Joly," Tatum responded politely.

Uncle Joly added, "I just came to grab something and thought I'd tell you in person. I didn't feel like making a call. Now, go quickly, don't keep the eldest lady waiting."

Tatum nodded and turned back to Zachary on the phone, "Brother, Elora wants to see me. I'll go meet her first. I'll call you later when I'm free. Please reassure our parents-I promise I'll come home for the New Year next year." With that, Tatum ended the call and hurried to the main hall.

Elora had mentioned she had a social event tonight, and based on her usual routine, she often returned late. It was a surprise to see her back so early-it wasn't even ten o'clock yet.

At the Ormond family mansion, the lights were still on, and the servants were busy finishing up their work for the night. Tatum made his way through the courtyard, his steps becoming lighter as he approached the main house.

An aunt stood waiting at the entrance. When she saw him, she said softly,

"The eldest lady is inside, Tatum. You should go in."

Tatum gave her a polite smile, nodded, and walked up the steps, entering the hall with a steady stride.

Elora was the only one in the room. Upstairs, Mrs. Ormond was telling Alonzo a bedtime story.

Tatum stopped a couple of meters away from Elora and greeted her with respect, "Miss."

Elora acknowledged him with a soft sound but didn't turn to face him. She was focused on two sets of jewelry and clothes in front of her, gifts that Alonzo had bought for her during his afternoon shopping.

Alonzo, being thoughtful, had bought new clothes for all his seven sisters. Since Elora was his biological sister, he made sure to get her two sets of clothes and matching jewelry.

Even though Elora typically didn't care much for jewelry and preferred a simple, neat style, she was clearly pleased with Alonzo's thoughtful gesture. It warmed her heart that her love for her brother was reciprocated in this way.

Alonzo had always been generous with Elora, giving her more than he did for the other sisters.

As Elora silently admired her gifts, Tatum stood quietly behind her, watching her with a soft gaze. He thought she looked serene, almost glowing with a quiet beauty.

To Tatum, Elora was always beautiful, no matter the moment. She never failed to capture his attention.

"Alonzo said they used your money to buy these gifts. I'll make sure to pay you back for the total amount," Elora finally said, after admiring the jewelry. She closed the jewelry box, turned to meet Tatum's gentle eyes, and added in a calm tone, "Have a seat, no need to be so formal."
