Our Love Story: Hard to Guard Against the Sudden Love Strike-Chapter 417 - 396: Midnight Hour

Sienna Thornton wanted to help Simon Forrester make an impression in front of Old Mrs. Thorne, so she said, "Living together with my boyfriend."

Upon hearing that her granddaughter was living with someone unmarried, Old Mrs. Thorne became anxious and lowered her voice to ask, "Annie, when did you find a boyfriend? Didn’t your father say he would introduce someone to you?"

Sienna Thornton was surprised that Quentin Thorne wanted to introduce her to someone, her smile froze, and she clarified, "We’ve been together for two years, and we’re getting married at the end of the year. My dad just isn’t aware of the situation."

Old Mrs. Thorne recalled during dinner, Ian Grant had mentioned the Forrester Family’s grandson, and she asked, "Is it the grandson of the Forrester Family next door to the Grant Family?"

Sienna Thornton responded with an "Mm," and said, "I’ll bring him to visit you another day."

Old Mrs. Thorne didn’t say anything further, her brows furrowed, likely having similar thoughts as her son.

.

Forty to fifty people were gradually moving from the private room to outside, some taking the elevator to get their cars from the basement, while others were waiting in the lobby to get into vehicles.

Sienna Thornton supported Old Mrs. Thorne as they waited in the lobby for Quentin Thorne to drive to the entrance to let the elderly woman board the car. After waiting for a while, they suddenly heard someone shouting "Thornton," and she turned her head to see Old Master Forrester and Sylvia Langley walking towards her from the elevator.

The two were very excited to see her, and Old Master Forrester quickly walked over, about to ask her why she was there when he saw the elderly woman she was supporting and immediately understood the situation.

Old Master Forrester cheerfully stepped forward to shake hands with Old Mrs. Thorne and said, "Mrs. Thorne, hello, hello! Dining here tonight?"

Old Mrs. Thorne, holding onto Sienna Thornton, smiled at Old Master Forrester and said, "Heading home tomorrow for ancestral rites, you see, everyone gathered here for dinner to arrange a time!"

The two elderly individuals exchanged pleasantries for a while before Old Mrs. Thorne introduced, "This is my eldest granddaughter Annie." to Old Master Forrester and Sylvia Langley.

Old Master Forrester and Sylvia Langley thought the elderly woman might still be unaware of Sienna Thornton’s relationship with Simon Forrester, so they didn’t ask much more and only smiled awkwardly.

After a moment, Quentin Thorne’s car arrived outside the entrance, and Sienna Thornton quickly helped the elderly woman into the vehicle.

When she returned to the lobby, Old Master Forrester and Sylvia Langley were still there. She walked over and called out, "Grandpa, Aunt."

Old Master Forrester glanced at the disappearing black Audi outside and quietly asked, "Reconnected with the Thorne family?"

Sienna Thornton nodded, "Even changed the surname, heading home tomorrow for ancestral rites and entering the genealogy."

Old Master Forrester nodded, "That’s good, it should be this way."

Noticing Sylvia Langley looking at her wrist, Sienna Thornton touched the green jade bracelet on her right wrist, "Grandma gave it to me."

Sylvia Langley asked, "Aunt, may I take a look at it?"

"Of course." Sienna Thornton raised her wrist to show Sylvia Langley.

Sylvia Langley observed it for quite a while before turning to say to Old Master Forrester, "High-quality glass jade, worth over fifty million for one."

Sienna Thornton: "..."

Seeing this bracelet, Old Master Forrester and Sylvia Langley understood that the Thorne family had fully accepted Sienna Thornton.

After standing in the lobby for a while, Zane Forrester drove over, and Sienna Thornton sent them out and prepared to retrieve her car from the basement.

She exited the elevator and walked towards her car, noticing a tall man leaning against her car from afar; as she approached, she realized it was Simon Forrester.

Her tense nerves finally relaxed as she jogged over and jumped into Simon Forrester’s open arms.

Simon Forrester embraced her, kissed her forehead, and asked, "Did it go smoothly?"

She nibbled his chin, "I’ll talk about it when we’re home."

"Alright, let’s go home."

Noticing Simon Forrester getting into her car, Sienna Thornton asked, "Didn’t you drive here?"

"I asked my assistant to drive it back, so I can go with you."

Seeing that he made his assistant come back and forth just to hitch a ride with her, Sienna Thornton laughed at his silliness.

On the way, Sienna Thornton discussed having dinner with the Thorne family that night; Simon Forrester responded lightly, "Just as I imagined. The Thorne family is very cultured, in that kind of environment, Aunt Grant wouldn’t dare to act out."

Sienna Thornton laughed, mercilessly exposing him, "And you said that we’ll eat at the same place, and if there’s anything, I’ll call you so you can show up in time? Now you’re saying this in hindsight."

"Just in case, and I wanted to go home with you too."

Sienna Thornton joked about him being clingy and lacking love.

He’s far from lacking love; he’s just particularly fond of Sienna Thornton.

.

After getting out of the car, the two went to the fresh food market to buy beef and headed home, Sienna Thornton went to shower while Simon Forrester made beef broth for her.

After showering, she wore comfortable soft pajamas, sat in the living room eating beef broth, and watching TV, while Simon Forrester used a wireless hair dryer to dry her hair.

She exclaimed how wonderful this life was, wanting to live like this forever.

While talking, she suddenly asked Simon Forrester, "Do you think if my mom and dad got married, would my dad take care of my mom like you take care of me?"

Her words were a little convoluted; Simon Forrester paused, then said, "With Uncle Thorne’s personality, he probably would."

Hearing this, she suddenly became silent.

Simon Forrester thought she was feeling sad about her parents’ missed connection, so he quietly continued drying her hair without saying much.

Until the evening when they were going to sleep, she nestled in his arms, holding him tightly, murmuring half-asleep, "Thank you for always treating me so well, I’m so happy..."

.

The next day, Quentin Thorne originally planned to pick Sienna Thornton up to head to the ancestral cemetery for tomb sweeping; Sienna Thornton didn’t want to share a ride with Ian Grant and his mother and refused, asking Quentin Thorne for the coordinates and drove there herself when the time came.

The Thorne family’s ancestral home is less than a hundred kilometers away from Brimfield in Linden, so the ancestral cemetery is there too. Even after Mr. Thorne passed away, his ashes were placed in the ancestral cemetery in Linden, returning to his roots.

Sienna Thornton set off around 7:30 from home and arrived at the cemetery before 9:00.

She decided not to drive her high-profile red Maserati Ghibli today, given the trip back home for ancestral rites and possible mountain roads, instead taking Simon Forrester’s dark grey Lamborghini Urus, thinking it would be more convenient for mountain roads and lower profile in color.

The supercar drives well, and this vehicle nicknamed ’Wild Bull’ runs fast, and she inadvertently pressed the pedal harder, arriving fifteen minutes early at the cemetery.

She drove into the cemetery parking lot, made a circuit but didn’t see Quentin Thorne’s Audi, guessing they might not have arrived yet, she waited by her car for a while.

About ten minutes later, she saw Quentin Thorne’s car passing in front of her, stopping diagonally opposite, as he unloaded large bags for the ancestral rites from the trunk.

She took her belongings and got out of the car, standing by her car waiting.

The parking lot had many people coming for tomb sweeping, noticing a tall girl dressed all in black standing beside a supercar priced around four or five million, they took a few glances.

Even a few children from other uncle and aunt’s families, who seemed to have attended the Thorne family banquet last night, glanced her way, seemingly still discussing her. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

She thought there might be something on her face, checked the car’s rearview mirror, and realized she was still wearing sunglasses, those kids didn’t recognize her, thinking she was some girl driving a luxury car.

She smiled helplessly, removed the sunglasses, and hooked them onto the black T-shirt collar inside her black windbreaker.
