Old Master Forrester heard and responded happily, "Thornton likes this soup, right? Then from now on, every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, I’ll have the cook prepare it and send it to your apartnt."
Sienna Thornton was about to say "No need, no need," when Simon Forrester laughed and said, "Grandpa, no matter how good this soup is, drinking it three days a week, can you handle it?"
"Things that are good for the body, you drink them even if you can’t stand it!"
Speaking of "good for the body," the elder’s eyes wandered around Sienna’s slender arms and asked, "Thornton, are you having lunch at the office now?"
Sienna nodded, "Yes, our working hours are from 9 am to 5 pm, with just an hour for lunch."
"So what do you eat for lunch?"
"I just order takeout. Now the takeout apps are quite convenient."
The elder’s face imdiately turned very serious, "That’s not okay! How can you keep eating takeout? Starting Monday, I’ll have the cook from the old house prepare als and send them to your office!"
Sienna: "..."
Simon was drinking soup and chid in, "She’s not the only one at the office, there are other lawyers and assistants. Having her eat ho-delivered food by herself there would be quite embarrassing."
Sienna quickly nodded in agreent, "Yeah, exactly, we all order and eat together at lunchti."
Old Master Forrester didn’t speak further. After all, preparing lunch for dozens of people would be too much for the cook from the old house.
The elder was a bit frustrated, muttering, "You need to start having kids next, so you must take good care of your health. Eating outside food every day isn’t going to work..."
Sienna: "..."
Simon: "..."
Seeing the two young people silent, Old Master Forrester asked, "When do you two plan to get married? Jules is not getting any younger, it’s about ti to settle down!"
Simon protested, "Grandpa, what nonsense are you saying? I’m only 28, okay?"
Sienna: "..."
Old Master Forrester shot him a glance, "Why don’t you say you’re eighteen, not yet of legal age?"
Simon chuckled awkwardly, "ntally, I’m eighteen! Actually, I’m not quite ready for marriage yet!"
The elder assud Simon was unwilling to marry or take responsibility, and scolded him throughout the entire lunch.
anwhile, Sienna, with soone else taking the heat for her, ate contentedly and happily.
-
After lunch, they sent Old Master Forrester off for a nap. Simon finally enjoyed the peace, resting his head on Sienna’s lap, passing ti by scrolling through the design firm’s official Weibo account.
Sienna was quite full and didn’t feel like eating any fruit. She just sat there watching TV, occasionally chatting with Simon.
A youthful romance drama was playing on the TV. Sienna rarely watched such shows, but as she watched, she frequently cracked an aunt-like smile.
Simon scrolled through his phone, occasionally glancing at her. Seeing her giggling foolishly, he turned to look at the TV.
The TV screen zood in on the male lead’s face. The actor looked very young, with cherry-red lips and pearly whites, possessing a baby face full of collagen.
He looked almost too cute.
Simon disdainfully looked away, nudging Sienna with his elbow and scoffing, "You like watching this kind of stuff?"
Sienna was so absorbed in the show, she absent-mindedly replied, "Mm."
Simon: "...Change the channel! I want to watch the news!" As he spoke, he reached for the remote, pressed a button, and the channel switched.
With the TV suddenly switched off, Sienna snapped back to reality, glared at him, and tried to grab the remote to change it back to the previous channel.
Simon wouldn’t let her. He jumped up from the sofa, stretched out his long arms, and held the remote high above his head.
Sienna stood up to snatch it back, reaching up and jumping repeatedly. After trying for a while and failing to get it, she gave up.
She sat back on the sofa, took out her phone, and gave Simon a defiant look, "Hmph, I’ll watch on my phone!"
She then began to search for the drama on her phone. Simon rushed over to snatch her phone, but instead, she unexpectedly swiped the remote from his hand.
She imdiately ran off, switched the TV back to the previous channel, and stuck her tongue out at Simon, "I win!"
Simon, expressionless, chuckled scornfully, "Immature!" Then, taking advantage of her inattention, he tried to unplug the digital TV’s power cord.
Sienna exclaid, "Ah," ran over to try and stop him, and the two tangled as they scuffled. Just as their playfulness escalated, a young voice called out from the outer courtyard.
"Cyrus, are you back? I’ve co to find you!"
It was Ronan Grant’s voice.
Simon finally let go of Sienna.
As soon as he let go, Ronan rushed in, paused upon seeing Sienna, and awkwardly said, "Oh, Ms. Thornton is here too."
