Married At First Sight Chapter 3917 Chapter 3917
Elora was well aware of the many young talents in Annenburg. Yet, none of them had ever made her feel safe or
genuinely moved. Most of these men approached her with ulterior motives, drawn not by who she was but by the
vast wealth and power of the Ormond family. They knew Alonzo was still young and that she was the one running
the family empire. Winning her over meant securing control of the Ormond fortune, slowly chipping away at her
family's legacy. This constant awareness had made her cautious, even fearful, of love.
"I can't afford to fall in love," Elora admitted, her voice steady but heavy with emotion. "I'm terrified of being
used or manipulated. Even when | admire someone, | suppress the thought. My family is too much of a target-fat
meat, as they say, in the eyes of those who only care about power and wealth. People will do anything for money
and influence, and | can't risk bringing disaster to the Ormond family." She remained wary even of the young
masters of powerful families. As for men who had risen from humble beginnings, the so-called "Phoenix men,"

Tatum walked beside her, nodding in understanding. "I get it. My grandma is the sway. She's always looking
out for us. Every one of my brothers' wives was chosen by her, so our parents don't even worry about these
things."
As Tatum moved forward, Elora fell in step with him. The two of them walking side by side a handsman and
a stunning woman-looked like something out of a romantic tale. They seemed like they belonged together,
though neither would dare voice such a thought. "I heard from Rosie that your grandmother is a remarkable
woman," Elora said, her tone lightening as she glanced at him. "She's the cornerstone of your family, right? It
must be a relief for your parents to have her handling things like your marriages."
Elora's thoughts drifted to her own grandparents. "My grandparents were the sway. They adored me
because | was their first grandchild. Even though | was a girl, they treatedlike the pride of the family. If they
were still alive, they would've already planned out my marriage. Honestly, it's a blessing to have someone like
your grandmother taking care of you. You should cherish that."
Tatum smiled warmly. "Oh, we all do. My brothers and | trust Grandma completely. She has a great eye for these
things. Once she picks someone for us, we focus all our energy on winning her approval. So far, her choices have
always been spot-on." Elora raised an eyebrow, her curiosity piqued. "Wait... does that mean the wife your
grandmother picked for you is here? In Province X?"
Tatum nodded with a small grin. "Yep. She's here in Province X. But for now, I'm still your chef. When you finally
fire me, I'll officially start courting her. Of course, if you keeparound and letkeep earning this generous
salary, I'll be in an even better position to win her over. At least she'll see I'm not just sidle, spoiled rich kid.
| can balance working hard and chasing my future wife. If she falls for me, that's gover- I'll have her heart."
Elora couldn't hide her curiosity any longer. "Province X is a long way from Wiltspoon. It's not like you can just
drive over. How in the world did your grandmother find her? Which city is she in? Who are her parents?"

Tatum chuckled. "Honestly? | have no idea how my grandma does it. She's always flying around, even at her age.
None of us can keep up with her. My eldest brother is the only one who can rein her in. When he's paying
attention, she'll stay put in Wiltspoon for a while. But the second he gets busy, she's off jetting to God knows
where.
"Right now, most of us older grandkids are taken care of. I'm the sixth, so my turn has cand gone. The
youngest boys, from the seventh to the ninth, are still too young for her to worry about. But she's already busy
enough planning wedding after wedding. My eldest brother's wife is even pregnant now, and Grandma absolutely
dotes on her. | think they'll be staying put in Wiltspoon for the next year at least."
Elora looked at him intently. "So, who's this fiancée of yours? You've got to givesomething. What's she like?"
Tatum gave her a sly smile. "You'll find out soon enough. When | finally win her heart, I'll introduce her to you. For
now, just know this: I'm more than happy with the person my grandma picked. She's perfect for me. My
grandma's instincts are as sharp as ever-she'd never pick anyone who wasn't an excellent match."
