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

Chapter 527 - 499: Two - s Combined (4000+) (Part 3)

The single Gage Grant, Logan Lockwood, Harrison Rowe, and Gavin Gale were unattended, so Simon Forrester had to enlist the younger members of the Forrester Family to help move these towering drunk men upstairs to rest.Sienna Thornton helped him back to the main table and instructed the banquet hall staff to bring some disposable hot towels and distribute them to the gentlemen who had been drinking and needed to wipe their faces. Then she asked the kitchen to prepare some mung bean and licorice soup for the gentlemen who needed a sobering drink.

Soon, the hot towels and mung bean soup were served. Sienna Thornton used a hot towel to carefully wipe Simon Forrester’s face, neck, and hands. Once she was done, she fed him some mung bean soup to sober him up.

Being cared for so attentively by her, supplemented by Simon’s own rest for a while, he soon became much more energetic.

Old Master Forrester watched with great satisfaction, repeatedly saying to Sienna Thornton, "Annie really knows how to take care of people. Jules will be relying on you to take care of him from now on."

Zane Forrester looked on, feeling rather envious, and coldly glanced at Sylvia Langley sitting next to him: "We’ve been married almost forty years, when will you take care of me like this?"

Sylvia Langley ignored him, focused solely on her concern over whether her son had drunk too much and felt uncomfortable.

.

Simon Forrester, now awake, noticed that the wedding banquet was nearing its end, so he took Sienna Thornton to meet some friends.

Not far from the main table, near the banquet hall’s floor-to-ceiling windows, were two tables with women and children, along with Tobias Blackwood, Jack Hawthorne, and others.

Sienna Thornton realized these were families of Simon’s good friends.

She held Simon Forrester’s arm as they walked over, and Tobias Blackwood, seeing them approach, promptly signaled his wife Nadia to stand.

The families of Jack Hawthorne and Scott Langford at the same table also stood.

Everyone raised their glasses to congratulate them.

Simon Forrester introduced them all to Sienna:

"This is Tobias’s wife, Nadia, who is the leader of The Seraphim Orchestra. This is Ian’s wife, Rowan, the editor-in-chief of a magazine, and the one you already know, Mrs. Hawthorne, Mavis."

Sienna Thornton smiled and shook hands with everyone, thanking them for attending her and Simon’s wedding banquet, and mentioned they should hang out together sometime.

Simon Forrester then took her to the next table to introduce Julian Shepard’s family and Sharon Shepard’s family.

Since Julian and Sharon clearly appeared older than Simon Forrester, they couldn’t be classmates, which made Sienna quite curious. On the way back to the main table, she quietly inquired.

Simon Forrester laughed, "Julian is Tobias’s political ally, they get along, so we just ended up knowing each other. As for Sharon, he’s one of the investors in the Northeast project."

Sienna understood.

.

The lively wedding banquet was nearly over, and the newlyweds got up to bid farewell to the guests.

The singles who had passed out upstairs now came down, joining Tobias and others to help Simon send off the guests.

With over a thousand guests, it took about an hour to finish saying goodbye. As Sienna was about to go upstairs with Simon to change clothes and head back to the old residence, she suddenly noticed Rochelle Linwood looking off in a bad mood.

Sienna Thornton followed her gaze.

Rhonda Wagner was speaking with Sharon Shepard’s wife by the floor-to-ceiling window, while Sharon and his three children waited at their seats.

Sienna lightly shook Aurora Buckley’s arm and whispered, "Does Rhonda know Mrs. Sharon?"

Aurora looked worriedly at Rochelle Linwood, then leaned to Sienna’s ear and whispered, "That woman is Rhonda’s first love."

"No way?" Sienna was surprised, "Such a coincidence?"

Aurora nodded, "Once I borrowed a book from Rhonda and found a photo in it, and that was Mrs. Sharon. Do you know what was written on the back of the photo?"

"Hmm?"

"My love, Annie."

Sienna: "..."

She worriedly looked at Rochelle Linwood, unsure what to do, and could only call a trio of bridesmaids to go upstairs, helping Rochelle to avoid what she couldn’t see.

.

Sienna Thornton changed out of her evening gown, put all the jewelry away, then called Quentin Thorne to come up and take them to be stored in a bank safe.

By the time they went down, only three of the three groomsmen and seven dream guys remained.

Those who had passed out had left earlier, those responsible for handling the scene stayed in the banquet hall, and those with family attended to their relatives. Only Rhonda Wagner, Gavin Gale, and Ronan Grant stayed sober to escort the three bridesmaids home.

Gavin took Aurora Buckley, Ronan took Wendy Jacobs, and Rhonda took Rochelle Linwood.

Sienna and Simon watched as their cars departed before feeling relieved enough to get into their wedding car.

As soon as Simon got into the car, he leaned back, letting out a long breath of alcohol into the air, shaking his head repeatedly, "I can’t take this. It’s good you only have to do this once in a lifetime."

Sienna chuckled, then after a moment asked, "Did the groomsmen and dream guys all go home? I thought they’d come to the old residence tonight to stir things up!"

Simon was silent for a while, then opened his eyes and looked at her quietly, "You’re talking about the bridal chamber, aren’t you?"

Sienna grinned, "I didn’t think they’d handle things so conveniently."

Simon leaned his head back again, his large hand holding hers, his lips curving into a smile, "Tonight is our bridal chamber and candle night, there’s no chance we’d let them come and mess it up."
