Chapter 4377
“Mom, do you really think Timothy likes me? He’s into everything about our Ormond family. He doesn’t actually love me—he just thinks I’m easier to win over than my older sister, so he keeps bothering me. From now on, don’t bring him up. I don’t like him. I’ll never give him a chance, let alone marry him.”
Tinsley could tell her mother was suddenly getting anxious. It all started when her older sister’s relationship with Tatum went public. Seeing her sister end up with such an impressive in-law from a respectable family had clearly rattled her.
Deep down, maybe she was jealous—or even envious.
But Matilda wasn’t ready to let go. “You haven’t even spent time with Young Master Labbe. How do you know whether or not he’s genuine? Your older sister is the true head of the family—your marriage won’t impact the family business. He’s still chasing you, knowing that. You’re in your twenties—thirty, if we’re rounding up—and you still don’t have a boyfriend. I wasn’t worried before, but now that your sister has a fiancé, I am. You’re just as good as she is. If she can land a good man, so can you.”
Matilda had seen her niece marry well, and now she was suddenly worried about her own daughter’s future.
She continued, “Back when Tatum first came around, I saw how much you admired him. Why didn’t anything ever happen between you two? He’s the most impressive young man I’ve ever seen.”
