Married at First Sight

"Has your eldest sister ever actually hit you?" Tatum asked, freeing one hand to adjust Alonzo's hat and scarf. Then he reached out to guide Angelo, signaling him to follow in Alonzo's footsteps. The cold wind was howling, and Tatum worried that the two little ones might be swept away by its force.

The brothers responded in unison, "Yes, but only rarely. Our eldest sister loves us a lot. She only stepped in because we got into really big trouble."

Alonzo, concerned that Tatum might get the wrong impression of Elora, quickly added, "She only does it because it's for our own good."

Tatum smiled. "I wouldn't have guessed that your eldest sister, who's always so composed and well-mannered, would have to resort to that. It just means you two must have caused some serious mischief."

He thought to himself that it was a good thing the boys respected at least one person. Without a firm hand to guide them, they could grow spoiled and unruly, leading to even bigger problems as they got older. That wouldn't help them; it would only hurt them in the long

run.

In this generation of the Ormond family, there were only two boys, Alonzo and Angelo. Their parents, uncles, aunts, and even friends doted on them excessively, treating them like treasures.

If nobody disciplined them properly, it would be a problem. Fortunately, Elora was the right person for the job. As both their older sister and the head of the Ormond family, she had the authority, position, and presence to keep them in line. Even their parents wouldn't dare interfere when she disciplined her brothers. If they didn't like her strictness, their only choice was to stay out of her way. They couldn't stop Elora from doing what she felt was necessary to keep her younger brothers on track. Because of Elora's firm but loving discipline, the two boys were not spoiled despite being adored by everyone around them. Instead, they were growing up to be polite and sensible.

The two brothers stuck out their tongues playfully as they walked into the office building. Before stepping inside, they synchronized their movements, pulling up their scarves to cover their faces. Inside the building, the warmth from the heating system greeted them, and they felt the chill of the outdoors slowly fading away.

"Mr. York," the receptionist said, greeting Tatum politely as he entered.

Tatum smiled and nodded in acknowledgment.

Alonzo and Angelo rarely appeared in public because the Ormond family took great care to protect their identities. The media in this city struggled to get clear pictures of the brothers. If they were ever photographed, Elora made sure to buy back the negatives, preventing any frontal images of the two boys from being published.

This precaution was taken to ensure the boys' safety, preventing any potential kidnappers from targeting them to blackmail the family.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

The receptionist couldn't clearly see the two brothers since they were bundled up in their hats and scarves, covering their faces as they followed Tatum into the office building. Even if someone guessed who they were, they wouldn't have a clear view to confirm it. Tatum only realized what the brothers were doing after they entered the building. Seeing them hide their faces so carefully, revealing only their bright eyes, he suddenly felt a pang of regret for bringing them out in public. He anxiously tried to recall if anyone had seen the boys' faces while they were outside. Fortunately, it seemed like no one had.
