Chapter 4376
Tinsley didn’t know how her mother, Matilda, managed to keep up that polished act all the time—but just watching it made her feel exhausted.
“My oldest sister’s on vacation for a few days, so I’ve been handling her workload. It’s been nonstop. I’m going to be swamped this whole week, so I’ll probably be coming home late. Tonight’s actually an early one. Mom, if you need anything, just call me. You don’t have to sit up and wait all night.”
Matilda let out a soft complaint. “I did call you, and all you said was that you were busy. You left early this morning before I was even up, so I didn’t get to see you. This is the only chance I have to talk to you.”
She paused, then added casually, “I heard the eldest son of the Labbe family has been pursuing you. What’s he like? Do you like him?”
She didn’t wait for an answer before continuing. “The Labbe family lives in Havenmill—it’s right next to Annenburg. It’s only an hour’s drive, maybe two if you’re heading from city center to city center. That’s nothing compared to how far your older sister is from Tatum’s place. If this Labbe guy is really serious about you, why not give him a chance?”
Tinsley sat up straight, giving her mother a sharp look.
