Our Love Story: Hard to Guard Against the Sudden Love Strike

Chapter 536 - 508: Be a Good Baby

The next day, Simon Forrester and Sienna Thornton had lunch at the old family house, handed over the wedding attire they wore to Sylvia Langley, and set off back to Melinda Linton’s.Melinda Linton didn’t know they were coming, and went to rest after lunch.

Sienna Thornton asked Auntie King about what happened last night and this morning, and found out that Quentin Thorne hadn’t come over, nor did Ian Grant cause any trouble. She reminded Auntie King to take good care of Melinda Linton during her and Simon Forrester’s trip to Japan, and then left for the apartment with Simon Forrester.

The two tidied up their home a bit, packed their luggage for Japan, and then hand in hand went to the mall downstairs for dinner, washed their hair, had massages, and enjoyed themselves before returning home to sleep.

Before sleeping, Sienna Thornton suddenly thought of Gage Grant’s strange behavior last night and said, "I feel like Fourth Master Grant seems to want to pursue Maeve."

At this point, the lights were already off, and Simon Forrester was just about to sleep. Hearing this, he instinctively felt he shouldn’t respond, otherwise, the conversation might eventually bring up the fact that Maeve is secretly into girls.

Not getting his response, Sienna Thornton reached over to touch his eyelids a few times and asked, "Are you asleep?"

"Almost asleep."

"Did you hear what I just said?"

Simon Forrester gave a faint "hmm" in response.

"So, do you think it’s possible?"

Simon Forrester pulled her into his arms, considered for a moment, and asked, "Do you want them together?"

"Of course not. I heard Fourth Master Grant is quite the playboy, dated many girls."

Simon Forrester was surprised, "I never told you this, where did you hear it?"

"Your mom told me."

Simon Forrester: "..."

He held the person in his arms tighter, "In that case, just remind Maeve when you have the chance, tell her not to pay attention to Gage Grant. Other than that, it’s not our business."

"True."

"Alright, let’s sleep." Simon Forrester kissed her forehead in the dark, "I love you."

She kissed him back playfully, "I love you too, good night!"

Just when they thought they could sleep peacefully, Sienna Thornton spoke again after a while, "By the way, there’s something I want to tell you, I’m afraid I’ll forget later."

"Hmm?"

"The mall your family gave me, I’m planning to appoint a spokesperson."

Simon Forrester was quiet for a while, and then asked, "Sign Maeve?"

"Yep," Sienna Thornton said, "A few days ago I looked at last year’s audit report, and there’s room in the business promotion budget. So, why not try the effect of appointing a spokesperson?"

Forrester Group’s service business is primarily hotels and department stores, but its revenue mainly comes from manufacturing and financial investments. Hence, the management of malls and hotels is handled by Gavin Gale and Nolan Kramer, and Simon Forrester rarely gets involved.

But Sienna Thornton mentioning signing a spokesperson isn’t just a matter of millions; it could also affect the mall’s positioning. If the wrong spokesperson is chosen, declining mall revenue is not out of the question.

Considering this, Simon Forrester asked, "Where does she rank in influence among domestic female stars now? How many dedicated fans does she have? What’s the spending power of these fans?"

"I haven’t noticed her rank," Sienna Thornton said, "but among her fans, many are white-collar workers, so their spending power should be good."

Simon Forrester didn’t think it was very appropriate but didn’t want this to impact their honeymoon, so he suggested having a meeting to discuss it when they return.

He thought, perhaps by the time they return from Japan, Sienna Thornton might have forgotten about it.

.

On February 18th, Brimfield showcased the early spring’s crispness, with a very blue sky, beautiful flowers along the roads, and new buds sprouting from the branches.

At ten in the morning, they boarded a plane to Osaka, Japan.

Sienna Thornton, busy with work earlier, and later with wedding preparations once she got some time off, didn’t have time to prepare a travel itinerary, so she left it entirely to Simon Forrester.

When on the plane, she asked Simon Forrester for the Japan trip itinerary, but Simon Forrester shook his head, saying there isn’t one.

"Huh?" Sienna Thornton couldn’t help but laugh, "So are we just going to wing it for ten days over there?"

Then she thought about how he’d booked the flights and hotels two months ago, so there must be an itinerary, and she pressed him to hand it over.

Simon Forrester, bothered by her persistence, reluctantly gave a verbal report on the itinerary: "Three days in Osaka, one day in Kyodell, three days at Fuji, two days in Higashi, and the last day we return home."

"So, we’re not going to Hokkaido?"

"Hokkaido isn’t fun this time of the year." Simon Forrester pulled her into his chest and soothingly kissed her hair, "If you want to go, let’s plan another trip in December, and I’ll teach you how to ski."

"Sounds great." Sienna Thornton snuggled in his arms contentedly, blushing, "If we don’t have a kid this year, then we could go at the end of the year. I still have to go to Valois in late November; I might get a vacation in December."

Simon Forrester nodded, thoughtful, "How about we wait until next year for a child? Let’s enjoy one more year as a couple."

Sienna Thornton blushed even more, burying her head in his arms, and after a while, mumbled, "Too late! I stopped taking the pills over three months ago..."

"Then I’ll think of something."

"I think you’re a bit too old; aren’t you anxious to have a child?"

"What’s the rush? You’re still a kid yourself; how could you have a child?"

"Huh?"

Simon Forrester fondly rubbed her head, "Be a good baby."

.

The flight landed at Kansai Airport around two in the afternoon, and they took a taxi directly to the hotel.

Knowing they were going to Nara to see the deer tomorrow, Sienna Thornton thought Simon Forrester would book a guesthouse near Nara Park. Instead, he took her to a five-star hotel.

Entering the suite, they just took off their shoes and settled on the sofa, Sienna Thornton started surveying the spacious and luxurious room before her.

After a round of inspection, she asked, "How much does it cost to stay here per night?"

"Over twenty thousand."

"Wow?" Sienna Thornton winced, clicking her tongue, "It’s just the two of us; we really don’t need a suite. A standard room would be fine. We’re not entertaining guests, after all, so why a suite?"

"The standard room is too small and feels cramped." Simon Forrester said as he took off his slippers, glancing at her with a smile, "Are you short on the money?"

Sienna Thornton pouted, grabbing a nearby cushion to put under her waist, "Why wouldn’t I be? A night’s stay costs more than my monthly salary and bonuses..."

Simon Forrester curved up his lips with a smile, finished changing his slippers, sat down beside her, reached out to pinch her nose, and said, "Little rich woman, don’t pretend to be poor with me here. You have enough liquid assets on hand."

Sienna Thornton feigned ignorance, "I don’t..."

Simon Forrester laughed, "Isn’t there some savings book included in the dowry? Transfer some into your usual account, spend as you wish, and don’t keep thinking about saving all the time."

"I want to use that money for conservative investments, save it for the kids, I don’t want to touch it."

"Then save it for that, spend mine for now. As long as one of us is saving, it’s fine. I’ll send you some pocket money later."

Saying this, Simon Forrester naturally lifted her foot onto his lap, pressing her foot’s arch gently with his thumb, "You’ve been in high heels for the past two days, your feet must hurt, right?"

"It really does." She pointed to the muscle beneath her big toe, "This area is very sore... ow ow..."

Simon Forrester pressed hard there, causing her to cry out in pain, completely forgetting that she was just complaining about how expensive the room was and seeking to switch to a different one tomorrow.

Successfully changing the subject, Simon Forrester sighed with relief.
