Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Angelo feared that his strict older sister might refuse, leaving him in a very awkward position.

After all, once Brother Tatum had promised him, the kids in his kindergarten suddenly became a lot friendlier. They clearly wanted a chance to taste the cartoon-shaped snacks that Brother Tatum was so good at making.

But Brother Tatum was Elora's personal chef, and if she didn't approve, there wasn't much he could do about it.

Elora, noticing Angelo's anxious expression, lightly pinched his cheek. "Since Tatum already gave you his word, he has to follow through. I'll be home this weekend, so I won't stop you from having your playdate. But keep the noise down. If it gets too loud, take it to your house. I need my rest." Angelo's face lit up, a wide smile spreading across his cheeks. "Thank you, Sister! I'll make sure we don't disturb you. I'll tell my friends." Then, as if a new thought crossed his mind, he asked, "Sister, is my brother still not up?"

Elora smiled at his eagerness. She gently took Angelo's little schoolbag from him. "Alonzo is still getting ready, but he'll be down soon. Wait for him here for a few minutes. We'll have breakfast together. I've got a client meeting today, and I'll be passing by your kindergarten. I'll take you to school."
