Our Love Story: Hard to Guard Against the Sudden Love Strike-Chapter 408 - 387: Dean Thorne Protects His Daughter

Chapter 408: Chapter 387: Dean Thorne Protects His Daughter

Sienna Thornton was about to ask Quentin Thorne about his visit to Director-General Linton during the day. Hearing this, she put down her spoon, wiped the corner of her mouth with a napkin, and asked, "What did you say to Director-General Linton?"

Quentin Thorne didn’t hide anything and said directly, "I’m a bit worried about you taking on the role of director at the Treaty and Law Department as soon as you arrive, that you might not adapt, so I went to greet Director-General Linton today."

"It’s fine, I’m quite adapting so far, you don’t need to worry." Sienna Thornton didn’t waste words, "The reason I went to the Treaty and Law Department this time is mainly because I want to handle a few cases on my own merit. In the future, if you have nothing else to do, don’t go see Director-General Linton to ask him to look after me. There are many people in the department who gossip, and as soon as you go, someone will spread the word that the dean’s eldest daughter is working in the department. People who don’t know might think my achievements are due to Director-General Linton’s care. How is that different from my previous situation?"

Quentin Thorne nodded and even apologized to Sienna Thornton. After saying "I’m sorry, Annie," he added, "I didn’t think things through. In the future, I won’t go to see Director-General Linton. Work hard, and if you have any difficulties, tell me."

"Okay, I understand. Thank you."

Simon Forrester, sitting beside them and listening to their conversation, was dumbfounded.

He was used to how the Forrester Family needed to tear each other apart and argue until things remained unclear when communicating. Now seeing this father and daughter clear up matters in such a simple few words, whether it’s acknowledging their relationship or discussing work, it highlighted the essence of efficient communication.

Simon Forrester thought that when his and Sienna Thornton’s children were born, they should be entrusted to Quentin Thorne’s care.

The father and daughter didn’t speak much more. Simon Forrester hesitated before cautiously asking, "Uncle Thorne, in the future, can you often help take care of my and Candy’s children?"

How should Quentin Thorne respond to that?

Saying "yes" would be indirectly agreeing to them getting married and having children. Saying "no" would upset his daughter.

Quentin Thorne became a bit irritated, feeling that the Forrester Family always cunningly set traps.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, if it weren’t for Sylvia Langley’s meddling, he wouldn’t have had to acknowledge Sienna Thornton under such circumstances.

Quentin Thorne gave Simon Forrester a glance and said indifferently, "If Annie needs me to take care of the children, I certainly will. But for now, it’s not appropriate for you to discuss this with me."

Simon Forrester played dumb, "Then we’ll talk about it before the child is born."

Quentin Thorne’s face darkened.

.

The entire evening, Quentin Thorne seemed to change faces.

When Simon Forrester spoke to him, he showed either a blank expression or a dark face, but when Sienna Thornton talked to him, he smiled happily.

Midway through, when Simon Forrester went out to take care of things, Quentin Thorne said to Sienna Thornton, "In the future, when we meet, don’t bring him along."

Sienna Thornton couldn’t help but laugh, "Why?"

"Daddy doesn’t like the Forrester Family."

"But he likes you a lot and cares about you. When we went to Veridia, he immediately bought four or five million worth of high-grade red wine for you, thinking guests at our wedding banquet might like it. At that time, I didn’t know you were my dad, so I stopped it. When we went to Alpenberg, he secretly bought you a mechanical watch worth nearly nine million after tax..."

At this point, seeing Quentin Thorne’s face saying "that kid is talking nonsense, I never received the watch," Sienna Thornton seemed able to see into his heart and smilingly added, "Of course, I stopped it again, so the watch is still in our home display case; he never wore it, just hoping to give it to you someday. Where else can you find such a son-in-law?"

These words touched Quentin Thorne a little, and he conceded, "Alright, I’ll find a chance to talk with Uncle Forrester. Once we reach an agreement, you can consider getting married."

Sienna Thornton wisely stopped, "Okay."

The two then discussed Melinda Linton’s situation. Hearing that Sienna Thornton found a reliable live-in caregiver for Melinda, Quentin Thorne was satisfied and said he would cover the caregiver’s expenses, but Sienna Thornton said Simon Forrester had already taken on the costs.

Seeing his daughter speak so well for Simon Forrester, Quentin Thorne felt very melancholy inside.

.

After dinner, the three left the private room together.

Simon Forrester arranged for a Maybach to take Quentin Thorne, who had been drinking, home, and also arranged for a business car filled with red wine to follow them.

Quentin Thorne didn’t initially know about this. It wasn’t until they were near home and he received Sienna Thornton’s call that he knew Simon Forrester had arranged for several boxes of red wine to come back with him.

There was no way he could refuse now, so he had the club staff move dozens of boxes of wine into the house.

Ian Grant was watching TV in the living room and, hearing the commotion, walked to the foyer for a look, asking in a not-so-good voice, "What’s this?"

Quentin Thorne didn’t even glance at her, heading straight to the dining room to pour himself a glass of warm water.

Ian Grant followed him, pressing, "Things being brought into my house, shouldn’t I inquire?"

"They are the red wines Annie bought in Franland."

Hearing it was from Sienna Thornton, Ian Grant immediately rushed over, tearing open one of the boxes’ packaging, intending to smash the bottle.

The staff timely stopped her, seriously asking, "Ma’am, this wine costs over twenty thousand per bottle; are you sure you want to smash it?"

Hearing this, Ian Grant froze momentarily, then, annoyed, raised the wine bottle towards Quentin Thorne, "Well, Quentin Thorne, now that you’ve found a bastard daughter who got rich by sleeping with wealthy people, you must be proud?"

These words stabbed Quentin Thorne deeply.

His face reddened with anger; he slammed the glass on the table and dragged Ian Grant’s hand into the study.

With a "bang," the door was fiercely kicked shut.

Quentin Thorne flung her hand away, causing Ian Grant to stumble back, her back slamming into the wall.

She continued to spew filth, "Ha, just like her mom, huh? The old whore’s spawn is a little whore! Not even married, already shacking up with the Forrester’s grandson, lacking any self-respect! A woman like that, willing to sleep around, how’s she different from a prostitute?!..."

Before she finished, Quentin Thorne had clenched her cheeks hard.

Quentin Thorne looked down at her coldly, "Dare say such a thing again, and you’re going back to the Grant Family, never to return! I’ll send the divorce agreement to your father and brothers!"

With her face gripped by him, Ian Grant couldn’t speak, constantly struggling to pry or slap his strong arm.

Unmoved, Quentin Thorne, with a face slightly flushed from the evening’s drinks, red behind his eyes, felt immense sadness and guilt over hearing his beloved eldest daughter being insulted by Ian Grant.

He half-closed his eyes, looking at Ian Grant, chillingly saying, "Ian Grant, I advise you to mind your mouth; otherwise, I’ll not just divorce you, but also bring big trouble to the Grant Family! Also! Next month, I’ll take Annie back home to visit the ancestral tomb and add her to the family genealogical record. My daughter, Quentin Thorne’s eldest, isn’t someone for you to mess with!"
