Sure enough, Callum found Tatum in the kitchen, busy cooking while wearing an apron.
“Tatum, our family is coming over for breakfast with Grandma. You need to prepare a portion for my family, too.”
Callum was worried about being late, and he knew Tatum had already started breakfast. Without a meal for them, his beloved wife’s hunger would go unsatisfied.
Tatum didn’t even glance at him as he replied, “Can’t you see that I’m busy? My second brother woke up early; please lend me a hand.”
Zachary and Callum had returned to the villa, and Josh and Jasmine had also arrived. There was no need for anyone to say anything; Tatum efficiently prepared breakfast for everyone.
Whenever Grandma was home, it was understood that everyone gathered at the main house for meals.
Callum quickly responded, “Second brother has to go for a morning run, so I don’t have time to help just yet. Besides, everyone prefers the food you cook. Even for breakfast, your dishes are more delicious.”
“Tatum, tell me, your brothers were all trained by Grandma. How did you end up better at cooking than us? I think you’ve surpassed your third brother.”
After they finished eating, Callum complimented his cousin, appreciating the good food without any cost to himself.
Tatum turned to look at Callum before returning to his tasks. “You don’t need to flatter me, second brother. I know my own worth. It’s not that my brothers are lacking; it’s just that you don’t practice as diligently as I do. I’m starting a business in the catering industry because I genuinely enjoy cooking.”
Unlike Kevin, who was assigned a position by Zachary, Kevin’s passion for cooking was clearly not as strong as Tatum’s.
“Second brother, you’re really
I’m not just complimenting you; you truly are impressive. By the way, Tatum, my aunt mentioned that you are going to Annenburg in Province X. If you aspire to be a chef, our family will gladly provide you with a platform to showcase your skills.
Tatum responded, “I’m going because I want to.”
Callum said, “If you don’t want your second brother to know, then just keep it to yourself. I won’t pry. Alright, you focus on your work. I’m going for a run. Is the eldest brother awake?”
Tatum didn’t turn around and replied, “It’s cold, and it’s the weekend. Everyone is still asleep. Grandma hasn’t gotten up yet, and you’re the first one awake, Second Brother.”
He then turned to Callum and jokingly asked, “So, Second Brother, how is your relationship with my second sister-in-law?”
Callum replied, “Oh, come on; your second brother and your second sister-in-law treat each other very well.”
Tatum was subtly inquiring whether he had any dissatisfaction with his desires.
With a slight smile, Tatum said, “That’s good to hear. I was worried that the second sister-in-law might have misunderstood something and made you sleep in the study last night.”
