“Pursue what you love with all your heart, and you will achieve the best results. Tatum, have faith in yourself.”

Tatum responded, “Thank you, sister-in-law. Your words have restored my confidence. Additionally, my eldest brother’s cooking is delightful. I cook more often than he does, and I enjoy it more. I pay closer attention to the details. I believe I can match or even surpass others.”

He also invested in the catering industry and frequently traveled across the country to sample diverse cuisines and learn to prepare various dishes.

At times, he would dedicate himself to perfecting a single dish, striving to make it the best it could be.

He was also skilled at cooking at home.

His kitchen showcased a variety of exquisite snacks.

In summary, he had a passion for anything related to food.

Winning over Miss Ormond’s heart through her stomach seemed like a feasible goal.

Serenity added, “Exactly! As members of the York family, we must maintain our self-confidence. Trust in yourself and in Grandma. She has chosen Miss Ormond for you, believing you are capable of winning her affection.”

“You see, she enjoys food but is quite selective about what she eats, while you have a passion for cooking and can create a variety of delicious dishes. You two are a perfect match. Her stomach is likely just waiting for you to satisfy her cravings.”

Tatum flushed. “Sister-in-law, it’s a bit premature to say that. I don’t know her well yet and I’m not familiar with her temperament. When choosing a virtuous wife, her character and behavior are what truly matter.”

It’s not solely about looks.

In terms of appearance, Miss Ormond was not a great beauty, but she was attractive, and the more he looked at her, the more appealing she became.

He fell in love with her at first sight when he saw her photo.

“I told you to trust Grandma. The

The candidate your grandmother chose for you is likely a good match. She must have thoroughly considered her decision. However, it’s important for you to get to know her since you are the one seeking a life partner. You want someone to share your life with, so understanding her, building a connection, finding common interests, and ensuring you can be together for the long haul will help prevent loneliness.

Tatum planned to seize the opportunity of working as a chef to connect with Miss Ormond and learn more about her. His primary goal was to win her heart.

“Sister-in-law, please don’t mention Miss Ormond to my parents. Who knows if I can actually win her over? It would be so embarrassing to go alone and return empty-handed,” Tatum said, concerned about the possibility of humiliation.

Being young and energetic, he was naturally worried about what others might think. Even his parents opted not to mention it, fearing that if he failed to pursue her, he would be the subject of ridicule.

Serenity quickly agreed, “I won’t tell your parents, but I did mention it to my mom when I tried to persuade her earlier. I mentioned that you suddenly wanted to work as a cook for someone else, hinting that there might be a potential match in that family. Grandma has chosen you a wife. Mom simply responded, ‘You’re an adult now. Do whatever you want; I can’t control everything.’”

Tatum replied, “Sister-in-law, you have a knack for guessing.”

He had never discussed this with anyone, not even with his older brother, Zachary, yet Serenity had figured it out.

Serenity smiled and said, “You’re already in your twenties. Grandma often travels, and while she claims Tatum and River are still young, she has carefully selected options for you.”

“River is indeed quite a bit younger. He is only twenty-three or twenty-four years old.”

“But you are two or three years older than River. It may take some time to find a wife. By the time you get married, you could be thirty years old. If you’re under thirty, rounding up will still bring you to thirty.”

Tatum replied, “Grandma has influenced my sister-in-law, who said that people our age often like to round up their age. I’m already thirty now.”

Serenity chuckled. “Time flies so quickly. You may feel young, but in the blink of an eye, you find yourself in middle age.”

“Sister-in-law, please don’t reveal where the girl is from or her last name to your parents. That way, even if my mother discovers that I’m pursuing a wife, as long as she doesn’t know about Miss Ormond, I can pretend to be a chef.”

“When the time comes that I fail to win her over and have to return, I’ll just say I was let go by my employer.”

Serenity smiled and said, “Okay, I won’t tell. I promise to keep it a secret.”
