Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Elora asked, "When is your sister-in-law due?"

She didn't have a backup private chef. If Tatum took a few days off, she could manage, but if he needed an extended leave, she might not approve it.

Serenity was pregnant. Elora had learned about the York family's situation through a close friend. As Tatum's sister-in-law, it was only natural for him to want to visit his nephew.

"I'm not sure," Tatum replied. "I asked my eldest brother, and he estimated about two months. But it could be earlier or later-hard to say. I'll go back when she's in the hospital, and once she's discharged and resting at home, I'll return to work. Then, when the baby turns one month old, I'll definitely go back for two days. After all, he's my nephew-the first child of our York family's next generation."

Elora considered his request before responding. "If you only need two or three days off, that's fine. But if it's longer than three days, I may not approve it. You know how picky I am-that's why I keep changing chefs. Right now, I'm very satisfied with you, and I've gotten used to your cooking. I can't stand the idea of you being away too long."

She made a mental note to hire two more private chefs and rotate them in shifts. That way, if someone needed time off, she wouldn't be left without meals.
