Married at First Sight

Camryn immediately handed her phone to Cairo and asked him to talk to River.

She felt awkward saying she was planning to send her son over.

There were several kids at home, and if Cairo went, the rest would definitely want to follow.

River was a single guy-he probably wouldn't be able to handle all of them.

So Camryn had Cairo talk to River instead while she stayed quiet.

She didn't have much free time right now. Otherwise, she would've gone on a trip to Eaglioncile with her eldest sister-in-law, Serenity.

She wouldn't be free until August. That's when she planned to take Cairo out to see the world. She had even made plans with her other sisters-in-law. Serenity said she'd be able to take Maverick and Belle on a trip in August too.

They planned to visit Tatum's family in Annenburg, Province X, and spend some time there. Word was the summer there wasn't as hot.

Since marrying Elora, Tatum only brought his wife and kids to visit the York family during the New Year and other holidays. The rest of the time, they lived with Elora's family.

Tatum wasn't just Elora's husband-he was also her personal chef. He'd been handling all of Elora's meals for years.

Thanks to all the delicious food Tatum cooked, Elora had gained weight after giving birth. She had to start working out, control her diet, and even ordered Tatum to stop making her favorite dishes.

After two months of hard work, she finally lost the extra weight and returned to her premarriage figure.

A lot had changed in six years.

The Ormond family had evolved too. Alonzo was already thirteen and starting his third year of junior high in September. He had great grades and even skipped a grade in elementary school.

Every winter and summer break, Elora would bring Alonzo and Angelo to her office so they could shadow her. She didn't give them any formal positions-they were still minors, after all.

But they could watch and learn. When Elora was busy, the boys would do their homework or work on test papers. Their sisters would occasionally hand them practice exams to keep them sharp.

It was a way to help them understand how the family business operated early on. Tinsley had gotten married a few years back into the Johnson family-making her and Elisa sisters-in-law.

Since Elora stayed with her birth family to manage the business, she didn't ask Tinsley to stay. Tinsley had the choice. With her in-laws' blessing, she chose to continue helping her family for a few more years. Once her younger brothers got older, she planned to join FC & Co.

The third sister, Sevyn, also married someone from the city. Her husband wasn't especially capable, but his family was a good match for the Ormonds.

She had intentionally chosen someone kind but not overly ambitious in business. She didn't want a husband who might try to take over the Ormond family assets. Tatum was a perfect example. He was incredibly talented, yet he focused on caring for Elora and the kids, never meddling in the Ormond business unless asked for advice. Even then, he'd only offer a few suggestions.

He still had his own businesses to manage on the side-he owned quite a few companies himself.noveldrama

"Uncle River, Uncle River!" Cairo called out happily, waving at the camera. "Big Brother, Belle! I miss you guys so much! You went out without me!" "Mom wouldn't let me go with Aunt Seren," he added with a pout.

Camryn explained, "Your aunt already has your big brother and Belle with her. You're a handful, and if she takes you, the other kids will all want to come too." Serenity laughed. "Cai, Aunt Seren really can't take that many kids. But we'll go out again next time-when your mom's free, okay?"
