CHAPTER 169: CHAPTER 167: DEBUT (THIRD UPDATE)

The washing machines were champagne-colored, placed side by side. Each had two stacked drums, with the top one being smaller and the bottom one larger.

A small acrylic label was affixed next to the drum, with the small drum labeled: Undergarments, Middle Garments; the large drum labeled: Outer Garments, Bed Linen.

Sienna Thornton sorted the clothes from the laundry basket and placed them inside, then poured the laundry detergent and scent beads from the shelf next to them.

The laundry detergent was distinguished for inner and outer garments.

Sienna poured the detergent into the washing machine’s detergent slots in order and started the washing machine, and the clothes began to wash.

She suddenly realized that Simon Forrester had been right before; she did live a bit roughly.

Just as she was thinking this, Simon Forrester came in and asked, "Do you know how to use such a fancy washing machine?"

"Of course." Sienna said, pointing to the four drums and explaining how she sorted the clothes into them.

Hearing that she put undergarments into the outer garment drum, outer garments into the undergarment drum, and shirts into the bed linen drum, Simon Forrester almost fainted and hurried forward to turn off the washing machine.

Sienna stopped him, not letting him turn it off: "What’s the matter? Isn’t it washing well?"

"From now on, don’t wash clothes. Let me do it, okay?"

"Okay." Sienna said, leaving the laundry room to collect the clothes hung out to dry in the morning on the balcony outside.

Simon Forrester followed her out too.

The two divided the work, one collecting and one taking.

As Sienna was collecting, she suddenly remembered something and asked, "When I hurt my foot before, there were a few times I forgot to do laundry. Was it you who helped me wash them?"

Simon Forrester’s expression looked slightly uneasy: "I just threw them in the washing machine."

"Oh." Sienna tossed a pair of jeans over to him and asked again, "Letting a stranger use your washing machine, aren’t you generous?"

Simon Forrester: "..."

Sienna: "Do you also let other guests staying at your place use your washing machine?"

Simon Forrester followed her step by step, catching the clothes she tossed over: "Except for you, no one else can stay at my house."

"Is that so?" Sienna asked with doubt, turning around, but actually smiling.

Suddenly, she got a bit emotional: "How did you dry my undergarment like this?"

Simon Forrester leaned in for a look: "What’s the problem?"

Sienna took the undergarment off the rack, pointing at the strap imprinted by the peg, saying, "You can’t clip directly on the straps like this. Look, not only will it leave marks, but it also distorts the shape."

Saying this, she fastened the undergarment, hooking the straps with her finger: "See, isn’t it crooked?"

Simon Forrester frowned, looking at the uneven hem of the undergarment, muttering: "It really is uneven."

After speaking, he asked again, "Then how should it be dried?"

Sienna then seriously educated him on the points of washing and drying undergarments, from material to their impact on the body.

Simon Forrester listened impatiently, annoyedly saying, "You could just say clip it upside down. Talking so much useless stuff doesn’t make your mouth dry?"

After saying this, he freed one hand and pulled her over for a kiss.

After kissing, he said: "I was just checking if your mouth would go dry."

Sienna came back to her senses and thumped his chest: "Even collecting clothes, you can act like a rogue."

*

After collecting the clothes, Simon Forrester carried a bunch of clean clothes to the walk-in closet, with Sienna following him.

She was responsible for folding loungewear and undergarments, while Simon Forrester organized his shirts and dress pants. When done, he also helped her to sort the folded clothes into the wardrobe.

After finishing with the clothes, Sienna ran to the living room to watch TV. As soon as she sat down, Simon Forrester joined her, first sitting closely by her, then when he saw she didn’t object, he cuddled up.

The man was warm, and as Sienna had taken a shower and was afraid of sweating again, she criticized him: "Why are you so clingy today?"

He ran his hand over his face and body: "Not clingy, very refreshing."

Sienna was so teased by him that she couldn’t reply and could only try to push him away: "Don’t hug me, it’s too hot, I’m going to sweat."

"Then let’s go back to the room, with the air conditioning on, nice and chilly."

"No way," Sienna moved aside, her chin pointing at the air conditioning control switch on the wall, "go turn on the living room air conditioning."

With no other choice, Simon Forrester went to turn on the air conditioning, then came back to find Sienna had already turned to a variety show, watching it with great interest.

He had no choice but to watch with her.

It was a legal-themed variety show, inviting some attractive lawyers with entertainment value as guests. They set up a three-party arbitration background on-site, with six lawyers taking roles on both sides, conducting small legal education debates on civil cases.

Today’s case mainly involved a custody dispute.

Both sides of the couple were excellent and successful in their careers but didn’t have time to take care of the child, yet both wanted custody, causing a huge conflict, even going to court.

Their conditions were quite equal, so in the first trial, the judge, considering that the child was a girl, believed the mother could provide more tender and appropriate care during her growth, and awarded custody to the mother.

The father didn’t accept the first trial’s outcome and appealed.

So today’s program features the representatives of both sides conducting on-site arguments, with the show’s third-party arbitrators giving a second ruling based on both sides’ arguments from a legal perspective.

Because the show was arranged with great entertainment value, and the handsome and beautiful lawyers were eye-catching, the ratings were very high due to the heated debates on the show.

Halfway through the show, a camera cut to one of the male lawyers, and Sienna said, "That guy is a classmate of mine from Braden University. I heard he got into the judicial office right after graduation. How come he’s on a variety show now?"

Simon Forrester looked up and sneered: "This show is so popular, he’s probably halfway into showbiz already. What’s the point in being a GWY then?"

"True." Sienna mused, "Why didn’t they invite me to the show? With my qualifications, I should be able to make it in the industry..." But before she finished speaking, she suddenly yelped.

Simon Forrester twisted her arm, warningly: "Let me tell you beforehand, don’t even think about it. If you go on such a show, I!"

"And what would you do?" Sienna lifted her chin to look at him, her tone becoming a bit serious, "Break up with me?"

"That’s not it."

Simon Forrester softened his stance, hugging her and rubbing his cheek against hers, saying, "Those old-fashioned folks in my family don’t like people from the entertainment industry. If you start a career there, I’m afraid they might not have a good impression of you."

Sienna moved her arm, avoiding Simon Forrester’s nuzzling.

"I never intended to marry you anyway, who cares what your family thinks."
