Married at First Sight

Elora said, "When Alonzo wants to climb up on the roof, my mother helps him with the ladder. You didn't know the situation, so it's not your fault. I'll talk to my mother when I get back." The two brothers exchanged worried glances. Had they caused trouble? "Sis, since they're already here, let them play in your office. They must be getting restless at home," Tinsley said, feeling sorry for her younger brothers. "Kids need to play," she added.

Tatum chimed in, "It's their winter break now. Most kids are out and about, while these two can only play at home. No matter how big the house is, they'll get bored eventually." He remembered his own childhood when they had a playground at home.

Their house was a mountain villa with plenty of space, yet they still preferred playing outside.

They were lucky-they could roam around the villa grounds. The whole mountain was owned by the York family, and the children of the workers often joined them in their games.

Now that they were grown up, some of those workers' kids had joined the York Group, while others returned to work for the family business, taking over their parents' roles. They knew Wildridge Manor inside out.

The only difference now was that those childhood friends respectfully called them "Young Master" or "Boss York," losing the casual bond they once had.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

Tatum treated his childhood friends the same as always, but they couldn't be as carefree around him as before. Over time, their interactions dwindled, and as Tatum and his brothers became busier with work, they had little time for their old friends. Alonzo agreed, "Brother Tatum's right. We play at home every day, and it's not exciting anymore. We just want to go outside."

He added, "Sister, it was my brother and I who insisted on following Tatum. Please don't blame him."

Alonzo was quick to defend Tatum, worried that he might not take them out again.

Elora gently patted Alonzo's head. "I'm not saying you can't go out, but I need to make sure you're safe. You're still young and might not recognize danger. Even though I teach you to be careful, it's not always easy to spot trouble." Alonzo replied, "Sister, my brother and I covered our faces with scarves so no one could see us."

Elora smiled. "Yes, you two are very clever. I won't scold you this time, but next time you want to go out with Tatum, you must ask me first. I'll arrange for someone to go with you to keep you safe."

After a brief pause, Tatum said, "I can protect the young masters myself."

The York brothers were skilled both academically and physically. They could defend those they cared about and look after themselves.

Their boxing skills were sharp-when they were younger, their grandmother's strict discipline made sure of that. She used to whip them if they didn't train properly, which drove them to excel in both physical and mental pursuits. Thinking of his grandmother, Tatum suddenly felt the urge to call her, to hear her voice and reconnect.

They were mostly raised and guided by their grandparents, who left a deep impact on their lives. After their grandfather passed away, they felt the profound loss of a loved one.

That loss made them even more devoted to their grandmother. Now, they cherished their time with her even more.
