Our Love Story: Hard to Guard Against the Sudden Love Strike

Chapter 535 - 507: Simon Forrester Changes How He Addresses Her

As the reunion banquet was nearing its end, Simon Forrester privately asked Leo, "Any news from outside?"Leo chuckled, "None. The Grant Family is staying silent; it must be that your father-in-law has already ironed out some things with them."

Simon was just about to feel relieved when he heard Leo’s last words, which made him shake his head, "It’s like a loop, never-ending, and inside it, there’s a time bomb, ticking away without knowing when it will go off."

Leo patted him on the shoulder, "Don’t worry, there’s always a solution. If it comes to it, I’ll have my grandpa talk to Grandpa Grant."

Simon thanked him, then heard Quentin Thorne calling him over to meet some friends, so he promptly went over.

Leo also returned to the banquet hall to continue helping entertain a few tables of guests who were still drinking.

After another half hour, the reunion banquet was wrapping up. The newlyweds, bridesmaids, and groomsmen moved to the entrance of the banquet hall to see off the guests.

Inside, Quentin Thorne was introducing Melinda Linton to Thorne Family relatives and his colleagues and friends. Guests were taking their gifts and gradually leaving the banquet hall.

When most of the guests had left, Quentin Thorne came out and said, "Annie, some guests didn’t take their gifts, there are still quite a few left, do you want your friends to take and gift them?"

Sienna asked the bridesmaids, "The gifts are couple perfumes, do you want to take some extra?"

Aurora quickly replied, "Of course, of course, custom perfumes by Nina Ricci, only a fool wouldn’t want them!"

Standing next to Simon, Jack Hawthorne sneered, "Lawyer Buckley, don’t you not have a boyfriend? Where are you going to spray that men’s cologne?"

Aurora: "I can gift it to someone."

Jack snorted, "Isn’t that a waste?" and said to Quentin Thorne, "Uncle Thorne, we’ll take those perfumes!"

Aurora retorted, "There’s a bottle of women’s perfume in there, where are you three big guys going to spray it?"

Logan stepped forward, puffing out his chest, "We’re going to get some ’special services’ tonight, can’t we give it to the female technicians?"

He then put his arm around Gage Grant, "What do you say, Young Master Grant? We just give a couple of bottles to the ladies later, and save on tips."

Gage was about to nod when he suddenly saw Maeve and some others coming out laughing and chatting, he quickly removed Logan’s arm, and righteously said, "What are you talking about?! Who’s going out with you? I have work tomorrow! Going straight home to sleep, not going anywhere!"

Logan was left bewildered, looking at Jack in confusion.

Jack saw Maeve too and deliberately said loudly, "What do you mean Logan’s talking nonsense? You got a red envelope from Grandpa Forrester this morning, clearly set to meet him for ’special services’ tonight. We all heard it, if you don’t believe it, go ask Leo."

Gage: "..."

This bunch kept going on about ’special services’, and Maeve couldn’t help but look over a few more times, seeing it was the same goof who was arguing over sugarcane that morning, her eyes filled with teasing.

She went over to hug Sienna, shook hands with the other bridesmaids, and then prepared to leave with her high school friends.

Zion Quincy also came over to shake hands with Simon and the three groomsmen, reminding Sienna to take Melinda for regular check-ups at the hospital.

Once done, he lightly held Maeve’s shoulder as they left together.

Gage observed quietly, and when Simon wasn’t paying attention as he was busy seeing off guests, he sneaked over to Sienna and whispered, "Sister-in-law, is the girl who sang your best friend?"

Sienna looked at him warily, nodding.

Gage: "The pretty boy standing next to her, is that her boyfriend?"

Sienna knew he was talking about Zion Quincy, and also understood what he meant, but how was she supposed to answer?

A playboy taking interest in her best friend, that really put her in a tough spot.

The infamous fourth Young Master of the Grant Family, planning to hit up ’special services’ after the banquet, Sienna only thought about it for a few seconds before deciding Maeve should have nothing to do with a guy like this.

She decisively answered, "Yes!"

Gage heard this, showing a bored expression, yawning, and walked away.

Sienna watched him, shaking her head.

.

After everything ended, Simon had Leo’s bodyguards escort Melinda and Auntie King back to The Springs Residences. He instructed them to ensure their safety and to provide continuous protection in the vicinity until he and Sienna returned from Yorai.

On the way back to the old house, Gage was driving the main wedding car, yawning nonstop.

After organizing weddings for two consecutive days and staying up late the previous night, Simon and Sienna were also exhausted, leaning back with their eyes closed to rest.

When they got off the car, Gage helped carry their stuff into the Forrester Family’s old house.

Seeing Gage’s weary face, Simon asked, "You’re working tomorrow?"

Gage yawned, "Yeah, work."

"Then head back early to rest, don’t go messing around with Logan anymore."

Gage worked in the government sector, not only needing to clock in but also having meetings in the morning. If he stayed out and didn’t sleep all night, he’d be brain-dead in the meetings the next morning, unable to lead his subordinates.

So with Simon’s advice, he just nodded, yawning as he said, "These past two days have really worn me out, you better bring me something nice from Yorai to make up for it."

With that, he put his hands in his pockets and headed back to the neighboring Grant Family’s old house.

Sienna followed Simon back to their room, quietly asking, "What are you thinking of bringing him from Yorai?"

"What else do you think?"

Sienna quickly caught on, feeling disgusted, and said disdainfully, "Are you really going to get him that? If you get caught at customs, I’m not taking responsibility."

Simon was speechless, closed the door, and said, "I’ll just bring him back a bottle of wasabi then."

.

The two of them put their things away in the room, said hello to the Forrester Family elders in the inner hall, and then went back to their room intending to take a bath and rest.

Simon was also quite exhausted these past couple of days, not much better off than Gage, and after showering and drying his hair, he snuggled under the covers.

Sienna applied her skincare, got into bed, and nestled in his arms. He just held her honestly, occasionally giving her a light kiss.

"When are we going back tomorrow?" Their flight to Nankai was the morning after tomorrow, so they needed to go back to their apartment to pack their luggage.

Simon said, "After lunch." Then he asked, "Do you want to go to the residence to visit our mom?"

Hearing him change the way he addressed her, Sienna paused and then looked up at him, tapping his lips with her fingertip, "You’re getting quite comfortable calling her ’our mom’, huh!"

He laughed and took her finger into his mouth, "Your mom is my mom!"

"What about my dad then?"

"Your dad is still your dad!"

Sienna burst into laughter and didn’t feel the need to force him to regard Quentin Thorne as his own dad, after all, she herself didn’t have the conviction to see Zane Forrester as her own father either.

After a good laugh, Sienna started yawning, ready to sleep. But after a little rest, Simon suddenly seemed to regain his energy, becoming a bit mischievous...
