Our Love Story: Hard to Guard Against the Sudden Love Strike-Chapter 477 - 455: Comfort (17th Update)

The conversation was cut short as the door opened.

Mina Thorne was still wearing her outdoor clothes, her eyes red as she looked at Quentin Thorne, said nothing, and turned to enter the room.

Quentin Thorne followed her in, sitting down on the small sofa next to the bay window. He observed Mina Thorne’s expression and cautiously asked, "Where did you go tonight?"

Mina Thorne hung her head low, silent at first, and after a good while, she muttered lifelessly, "Seth Sutton wants to break up."

"Mina," Quentin Thorne was at a loss for how to comfort her, so he merely asked, "What do you think?"

Mina Thorne said nothing.

Quentin Thorne sighed, shaking his head repeatedly, "Over the years, you’ve broken up and gotten back together at least ten times. I’ve advised you, analyzed it with you, why do you still feel so hopeless?"

Although he had advised her many times, to the point where his mouth was dry, once again he tirelessly analyzed the situation with Mina Thorne from various angles, convincing her that even if she married Seth Sutton, she wouldn’t be happy.

Whether Mina Thorne listened or not was unclear, but at the end, she asked a question that startled Quentin Thorne.

Quentin Thorne looked at her in surprise, his voice tense and unnatural, "Who told you this?"

"No one told me," Mina Thorne silently shed tears, "At first, it was just a guess, but when he brought up breaking up tonight, I casually asked, and he didn’t deny it."

Quentin Thorne was about to lose his mind, shocked that Seth Sutton would handle the problem like that.

His right hand clenched into a fist, releasing and tightening as he thought, his mind quickly processing various information, pondering how to naturally and trustworthily soothe his daughter.

After pondering for a while, he calmly said, "Seth Sutton didn’t deny it, maybe to speed up the breakup process with you, not necessarily because he likes Annie. A man wanting to quickly break up, while a woman is unwilling, might fabricate another woman’s existence to make her leave voluntarily. Today, it was you who asked first, so he took advantage of your misunderstanding and simply didn’t explain. Moreover, you’ve been with Seth Sutton for so many years, is he the type to casually fall for another woman?"

Quentin Thorne’s last remark hit home for Mina Thorne.

Seth Sutton is slow to warm up; Mina Thorne pursued him for a long time before succeeding. After they started dating, Seth Sutton seemed uninterested in other women, having dedicated most of his time to the police force. A young female officer confessed to him but got scolded to tears. Throughout these years, he didn’t have issues with women.

Indeed, Mina Thorne believed Seth Sutton couldn’t possibly fall for Sienna Thornton after only seeing her a few times.

Thinking this, she suddenly felt confident again, shaking off the earlier unhappiness, and even told Quentin Thorne, "It’s fine! We’ll reconcile in a few days! Dad, don’t worry!"

Quentin Thorne: "..."

Mina Thorne hadn’t realized how terribly Quentin Thorne’s face had turned, while she continued with her own thoughts: "Seth is naturally carefree, which is why he constantly brings up breaking up. Once married, the bond of marriage will awaken his sense of responsibility... We’ll be fine..."

-

After that day, Sienna Thornton noticed Mina Thorne returning home several times after work, and guessed that Mina might have broken up. Being related by blood, witnessing Mina Thorne’s breakup with Seth Sutton made Sienna Thornton secretly happy.

A week passed like this, and on Sunday afternoon, Ian Grant returned to the Thorne Family estate, accompanied by his older brother, Zachary Grant.

Zachary Grant and Quentin Thorne engaged in a private conversation in the study until late at night, and upon leaving, they ran into Sienna Thornton, who had just returned from seeing Melinda Linton and was about to enter the house.

Knowing that she was his brother-in-law’s illegitimate daughter born in the countryside, but apparently with some skills, Zachary Grant couldn’t help but take a few more glances at Sienna Thornton.

The young girl had fair and clear skin, her features closely resembling Quentin Thorne’s, exceedingly beautiful. Yet, her beauty wasn’t the kind built on layers of makeup, nor one without lasting appeal. Her aura was distinct, emanating a blend of pride, spirit, and valor, reflected in her smile that bore determination in her gaze.

Such a presence made Zachary Grant find her intriguing and refreshing.

Having navigated officialdom for decades, he’d seen countless beautiful women, but Quentin Thorne’s illegitimate daughter was exceptionally unique...

Zachary Grant greeted Sienna Thornton and left the Thorne Family estate with a smile.

Sienna Thornton felt a bit nervous upon seeing him, worried he might criticize her presence for disrupting the peace at the Thorne Family, though she believed there were few remarks she couldn’t respond to. However, dealing with elder family members with no grudges was quite tricky.

Fortunately, Zachary Grant didn’t make things difficult for her. He even kindly asked about her work and told her he worked in XX department. If she ever needed help, she could let him know.

This greatly surprised Sienna Thornton; after much thought, she concluded it was likely because Zachary Grant was of similar age to Zane Forrester and probably had a good relationship with him, and thus showed her some kindness since she was the future daughter-in-law of the Forrester Family.

Sienna Thornton changed into slippers and went to the study to inform Quentin Thorne, "Dad, the Forrester Family has picked a date, and said they’ll come deliver it next Wednesday."

Quentin Thorne was pondering, upon hearing this, he glanced at the calendar on the desk and asked, "What time on Wednesday?"

"Twelve o’clock and six minutes at noon."

Quentin Thorne: "..."

After a speechless pause, he asked, "Why not come on the weekend?"

Sienna Thornton awkwardly smiled, "I heard Wednesday at twelve o’clock and six minutes is also considered an auspicious time."

Quentin Thorne had nothing to say, feeling both troubled and helpless!

Although he didn’t believe in these things, the matter concerned the lifelong happiness of his daughter and son-in-law, so he could only opt to believe in them.

Quentin Thorne straightened his posture, noted it in his planner, and instructed, "Given this, let’s all take a day off on Wednesday, okay? It’s a matter of your lifelong importance, treat it seriously."

Upon hearing this, Sienna Thornton entered, sat down opposite him and said, "The Forrester Family asked where they should deliver the date?"

Quentin Thorne’s writing hand paused, contemplating for a few seconds before laughing, "Naturally at your mom’s place."

This was exactly what Sienna Thornton hoped for. She smiled happily and said, "Then I’ll stay at my mom’s place on Tuesday night."

Without a second thought, Quentin Thorne agreed decisively, "Alright! It should be this way! I’ll go over early in the morning that day!"

"Okay!"

Sienna Thornton happily went upstairs, feeling wonderful.

Not only because her relationship with Simon Forrester was nearing a good culmination, but also because her interaction with Quentin Thorne was becoming more in sync. No matter how troublesome a matter was, once it reached Quentin Thorne, it was handled quickly and without hesitation!

In some aspects, she felt Simon Forrester and Quentin Thorne were quite similar. Most of the time, they were gentle in nature, but when it came to important matters, their principles were solid. Importantly, they made decisions quickly and accurately, never seen hesitating!

Really quite manly!

Sienna Thornton went upstairs quite happily.

She knew Ian Grant had returned and paid a little attention when passing by his room door, yet there was no noise coming from inside.
