Chapter 4268

"Miss, good night."

One by one, everyone wished Elora good night and left.

Now that she was home safely and Tatum was with her, they felt reassured.

As the last person disappeared into the night, Elora turned to face Tatum, and he looked right back at her.

Their eyes met.

For a long moment, neither of them spoke.

Then, without hesitation, Tatum took her hand, pulled her into his arms, and held her tightly.

"Miss, I missed you so much," he murmured. "These past two days have been miserable. I was worried-scared, even-that you'd be angry when you found out everything. I was afraid you wouldn't want to see me anymore. That what happened to my older brother might happen to me, too.

"I've hidden a lot from you. If you're upset, I get it. You can be mad, yell at me, hit me if you want-just don't ignore me." He let out a heavy sigh.

"Since I started cooking, I've never gone a day without making at least two dishes. It's just part of me now. But these past two days... I couldn't bring myself to cook at all.
