Our Love Story: Hard to Guard Against the Sudden Love Strike-Chapter 297 - 293: Harmony

"Huh?" Simon Forrester chuckled awkwardly, "How do you know my mom thinks you have ambitions? She has never mentioned those words in front of you."

"Don’t play dumb!" Sienna Thornton poked his chest, "Come on! What exactly did you say to your mom!"

"I didn’t say much. I just told her to ask herself, back when she married my dad, was it because she was after his money? She immediately denied it, with red eyes, and said she truly loved him back then. Then I took the chance to ask her, if true love can happen to her, why couldn’t it happen to you? Is my own son really that bad, being unable to attract a woman who genuinely loves him with anything other than money?"

Upon hearing this, Sienna nodded appreciatively: "And then?"

"Then she said she wouldn’t oppose us anymore!"

Sienna suddenly laughed and raised her thumb and pinky towards Simon: "You’re amazing! You killed two birds with one stone! Not only did your mom come around about us, but she’s also reminded of her true love with your dad back then?"

Simon quickly seized the opportunity to flatter her: "I learned this from you! Mr. Thornton’s guidance is excellent!"

Sienna laughed heartily at his teasing, climbed onto his back, and wrapped her arms around his neck: "The master is hungry, the disciple shall carry the master to dine!"

Simon turned to kiss her little face nestling against his neck: "Next time I’m late, you can eat first. Don’t ruin your stomach like I did."

"You too."

Simon kissed her again, supported her bottom with both hands, effortlessly picked her up, and walked to the dining room.

The living room was just a few steps from the dining room, so Simon carried her while keeping up the conversation: "Have you gained weight recently?"

As he spoke, he deliberately hefted his arm: "Feels like you’ve gained at least five pounds!"

"Hmm..." Sienna thought for a moment, laughing happily, "I’ve gained eight pounds! Finally regained the pounds I lost last year!"

Simon carried her to the dining room and gently placed her onto a chair, then sat opposite her with a smile: "A bit chubbier is better; you really were too thin back then."

During those months when the guesthouse incident happened last year, she was so thin that he felt quite distressed, so he bought all kinds of nutritional powders to supplement her energy. She ate them, but they didn’t have much effect.

Currently, their lives are peaceful and joyous, her career is steadily advancing, and her state is good. Her weight and body are essentially restored.

Shows how important a stable life is to health.

.

In the evening, Sienna prepared blanched okra, vinegar-cooked cabbage, steamed grouper, tomato scrambled eggs, and bitter melon clam soup—dishes Simon likes and suitable for the hot and dry summer.

She first served Simon a bowl of soup: "You haven’t eaten today; have some soup first to nourish your stomach and intestines." Saying this, she stood up to serve him rice.

"Mm." Simon didn’t hide, "I’m starving."

He woke up and went out to meet Sylvia Langley, skipping both breakfast and lunch. By the time he met Sylvia, it was already afternoon, and she had long finished lunch with her friends, so he didn’t join.

To save time, he barely drank any water, spending the whole period trying to work on Sylvia’s mindset.

Sylvia is actually stubborn and rigid, Simon spent three to four hours talking to her to sort things out. It’s not like he just casually mentioned a few things to Sienna.

.

Sienna picked up a piece of fish for him and attentively dipped it in some sauce from the bottom of the dish: "You have an empty stomach, eat some protein first to settle it."

"Okay." Simon obediently drank the soup, ate the fish, and then began eating rice.

Living together, many habits influence each other.

Simon originally didn’t talk during meals, but now he chats while eating: "Are you going back to the office tomorrow to discuss my mom’s divorce case with the partners?"

"Yes." Sienna swallowed the food in her mouth, "That’s our rule; all cases must be discussed by three people before deciding whether to take them or not."

"Rhonda Wagner went back to be a maternity nanny, didn’t she?"

"Hm?" Sienna didn’t react at first, then guessed Simon was teasing Rhonda for going back to visit because his first love is having a second child, laughed, "He said he’s coming back tonight."

"What? Got kicked out by her husband? Couldn’t be a ’nanny’ anymore? No, it should be ’uncle nanny’." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Hearing the sarcasm in his words, Sienna couldn’t help but laugh and cry: "Of course not. Rhonda just went back for a visit; how could he be kicked out? And what’s with this nanny uncle thing, don’t say that arbitrarily."

Simon snorted coldly and continued eating.

Sienna saw his soup bowl was empty and refilled it: "Rhonda is a pretty good person, very loyal. You shouldn’t have such a big opinion on him all the time; he didn’t do anything to you."

She didn’t know, but Simon was always uneasy with any men around Sienna, as if everyone would fall for her. Just like he initially had a decent relationship with Thomas Reed but nearly fell out when he heard Thomas liked her.

Not right, they’ve already fallen out, reconciled, fallen out again, and reconciled, cycling immaturely.

Simon certainly wouldn’t tell Sienna these things, so when she said this, he just snorted disdainfully.

Men’s thoughts are incomprehensible!

Sienna certainly wasn’t aware of his little thoughts.

She rarely deliberates over feelings or the various nuances between men and women because she’s really too busy, with her mind usually filled with various cases and legal provisions, leaving no time or space for such musings.

Luckily, Simon wasn’t the kind of sensitive man who needed her to guess or attend to his feelings.

When he’s unhappy, he’s quite direct in reprimanding her, and she still remembers how he can scold her to tears when he gets fierce.

It’s still better than dealing with those who sulk silently, so they’re quite in sync about this.

Not only mentally and in temperament but even physically, they’re very harmonious.

That’s probably why after a year of dating, everything has been quite smoothly.

Thinking of this, Sienna broke into an indescribable smile.

Seeing her smiling like a love-struck fool right after mentioning Rhonda, Simon, filled with jealousy, asked, "What are you smiling about?"

Sienna was drinking soup, gave him a sidelong glance: "Laughing at how straightforward you are, showing dislike without any scruples."

"What else? If I don’t like them, why should I be nice to them?"

As he said this, Quentin Thorne’s cunning smile suddenly flashed across his mind. He coughed lightly and corrected himself: "Well, there is one exception."

"Who?" Sienna naturally asked upon hearing this.
