Our Love Story: Hard to Guard Against the Sudden Love Strike-Chapter 422 - 401: A Joyous Occasion

Sienna Thornton hadn’t returned to the Forrester family’s old mansion since reuniting with Quentin Thorne.

Old Master Forrester and Sylvia Langley couldn’t help but worry if Sienna was influenced by Quentin and no longer wanted to marry into the Forrester Family.

But they dared not ask Simon Forrester. Even if they did, Simon might not tell the truth, so they could only worry in vain.

Meanwhile, over at the Grant Family, upon learning that the Forrester Family’s future granddaughter-in-law was the illegitimate daughter of their son-in-law born in the countryside, Old Master Grant was quite upset. It was said he had been bedridden since New Year’s and hadn’t gotten up.

Old Master Forrester would occasionally visit him. The old friends who had spent decades together initially felt awkward about this matter, but over time, their relationship returned to how it was.

After Old Master Forrester’s heartfelt persuasion, combined with Old Master Grant’s knowledge of the past events and his softened heart with age, he did not hold any grudge against Sienna and Melinda Linton, but he often scolded his son-in-law in front of Old Master Forrester.

Every time this happened, Old Master Forrester would join in the scolding. He felt aggrieved by Quentin Thorne too. The two children could have had their wedding during the New Year if not for Quentin’s disapproval, and now the wedding was still nowhere in sight.

Once, when the two old men were again criticizing Quentin Thorne in the yard, Quentin himself turned up.

Seeing Quentin Thorne entering the yard with a stern face, Old Master Forrester hurriedly tried to sneak away, but before he could leave, Quentin said, "Uncle Forrester, I’ll come over to visit you later."

Old Master Forrester quickly replied, "I’m busy! I’m going out to walk my bird!"

Quentin Thorne: "Then I’ll wait for you to come back from walking your bird."

Old Master Forrester: "..."

Seeing that he couldn’t avoid it, Old Master Forrester had no choice but to obediently go back inside, prepare tea, and wait for Quentin to visit.

He didn’t have to wait long before Quentin came over, and he seemed in a relatively good mood.

After entering the house, he sat directly on the sofa opposite Old Master Forrester, took out a note from his shirt pocket, slid it across the table to Old Master Forrester, and straightforwardly said, "Uncle Forrester, if you want our Annie to marry into the Forrester Family, bring Rex’s parents here to discuss."

Old Master Forrester put on his reading glasses and looked at the note: "What is this place?" 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"This is where Annie’s mom lives."

Old Master Forrester nodded, pondering over the address on the note.

Seeing the old man’s lukewarm attitude, Quentin Thorne’s tone grew more serious: "The kids’ marriage isn’t something your Forrester Family can decide by yourselves. To marry someone’s daughter, as elders, you should at least show sincerity and sit down with the girl’s parents to discuss."

Seeing him displeased, Old Master Forrester nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, that’s our oversight. When would it be convenient to visit? I’ll have Zane and his wife come back."

Knowing that Melinda Linton’s health had recently improved and she no longer needed bed rest, Quentin Thorne thought another month of rest would be better, and said, "June. Call me three to five days in advance to arrange a time."

Old Master Forrester: "Alright, alright."

The old man, who had been caught badmouthing others on the spot, felt a bit anxious, thinking Quentin might settle scores with him, but he didn’t. Quentin left promptly after discussing business, not even staying for tea.

Time flew by, and another two or three weeks passed. One day at the end of April, Sienna Thornton was working overtime at the office when she suddenly received a call from Jenna Raines.

Seeing those three words, she really didn’t want to answer, didn’t want to hear that person’s voice, but was worried something might have happened to Melinda, so she answered harshly, "What is it?"

"Sis! It’s bad!" Jenna shouted over the phone.

The tone was identical to when Melinda was rushed to the ER for the first time three years ago, and Jenna called from Wrayhaven.

Sienna’s heart skipped a beat, her hand shaking slightly with the phone: "What happened? Is something wrong with mom?"

"Dad wants a divorce! You need to come back!"

...

When Sienna arrived at the apartment, Melinda was sitting in the living room watching TV with Jenna, and Auntie King was busy in the kitchen.

Sienna walked in, first observing Melinda’s complexion. Seeing her appearance was fair, she greeted her and then called Jenna into the room.

After closing the door, Sienna asked, "What’s going on?"

Jenna hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "Dad called today saying he wants to divorce mom..."

Sienna felt a surge of joy but showed no emotion, coldly asking, "Why does he want a divorce?"

"He didn’t say... just mentioned that by September this year, he and mom will have been separated for two years, so they can divorce."

"Oh!" Sienna mocked, "He even knows the marriage law?"

"I don’t know what’s going on either..."

Sienna looked down at the shorter Jenna: "Have you told mom about this?"

"Not yet."

"Alright then, don’t say anything for now. I’ll discuss it with mom later."

After speaking, Sienna was about to leave the room when Jenna tugged at her clothes: "Sis, I don’t want to go back."

Sienna turned to look at her cunning, greedy half-sister, thinking: You’re living and eating well here, being taken care of, of course, you don’t want to go back. But seizing this opportunity, how can I not send you off?

Felix Raines suddenly acting up about a divorce must mean he’s found another woman. Calling Jenna back home is just to help earn money for him and the new woman, possibly even play nanny for the whole family.

Serves her right!

Sienna pushed aside these thoughts, coldly laughing, "Okay, I’ll handle this. Don’t worry."

She returned to the living room, watched TV with Melinda for a while, then went home.

Seeing the study light on, she changed into slippers, poured a glass of water at the bar, and gulped it down before hurrying to the study.

"Do you have someone over there who can help investigate something?"

Simon Forrester was working at the computer. Hearing this, he looked away from the screen to Sienna’s face, nodded, and asked, "What do you need to investigate?"

Sienna’s face showed uncontrollable joy.

She sat on the armrest of Simon’s office chair, placed her arm on his shoulder, and said excitedly, "Felix Raines wants to divorce my mom! I suspect he’s found a woman. Quickly have someone go to Wrayhaven to investigate for me."

"Sure." Simon didn’t hesitate, picked up his phone, and made a call, provided Felix Raines’s personal information and address, and instructed the person to investigate immediately.

After hanging up, he placed the phone on the table, wrapped his right arm around Sienna’s waist, and looked up at her: "You’re happy about this?"

Sienna, clutching his shoulder, said happily, "I really couldn’t wait for my mom to divorce him! I used to worry if mom brought it up, he would make it difficult, but I didn’t expect him to initiate it, and he even wants to take Jenna away! Wow! Nothing could make me happier!"

"But Auntie might be very sad, right?"

"I’ll console her."

Simon nodded, saying no more, as he knew Sienna could handle it herself.
