The Guardian's Sword

Chapter 378 It was clear that this question Jason had asked

was not one he should be asking.

As soon as the question exited his mouth, he felt as if something was wrong. Des
pite the power he held, he was only someone who handled affairs—

not someone who could make decisions!

How could he ask about the thoughts of the people wlio lield positions above his?
Sure enough, the person at the other end of thie line fell silent.

“Commander, my apologies. I was wrong...”

Jason took the initiative to admit his mistake and bowed slightly. “Okay. “I'll conta
ct you again once I have confirmed the matter of this sword.” The person on the
other end of the phone nodded and hung up.

At night. In Willow's house.

“Mom, the food is ready,” Willow shouted again as she sat at the table. “Okay, I'm
coming.” Fion sat in the living room and was about to stand up after hanging up t
he phone.

However, the phone rang again before she could take even two steps away. Fion
picked up the phone and answered the latest call. “Oh, is it Lucy? Yes, we're lio
me! Okay, no problem! “I'll see when Sean is free, yep!”

Ever since they returned from visiting the Golden Villa Garden, their phone had
not stopped ringing

Fion’s relatives had called one after another to ask if they were home. She was v
ery flattered by their concern. When Fion first married into the Quinn family, these
people had indeed been enthusiastic, but not nearly excessive as they were bein
g now!

Later, when they learned that Fion was not welcomed in the Quinn family, they di
stanced themselves and gradually cut contact. Until today. Now, they had becom
e more enthusiastic than they had

ever been before. Ten years ago, people would respect a son because of his fath
er. Then, ten years later, they would respect the father because of his son.

A son-in-law was considered a half son.

Sean and Willow had a marriage contract, so this matter was undeniable.

Now that Sean

had shown he possessed such powerful financial resources, how could the Wilso
n family dare to maintain the same attitude toward him as before?

“Whew!”

Fion took a breath, put down the phone, and looked at Sean—

her eyes filled with mixed emotions.

Then, she walked to the table to have her meal without saying much.

“How is it? “Do you feel

more respected now?” Kent, who held a bowl in his hand, was deliberately being
sarcastic. “Hmph! Why? Did you earn me this respect?” Fion snorted coldly as sh
e remained stubborn. “I may not be capable, but my son—in—

law is. So what's the matter?” Kent swallowed a mouthful

of rice and responded to Fion half-jokingly.

“Dad!”

Willow blushed mildly as she lowered her head and said, “We're not married yet..
Sean paused for a moment. He did not reply but merely continued to eat in silenc
e.

Fion slowly turned her head and glanced at Sean. On any other day, she would d
efinitely have grabbed Kent's seat to stop him from spouting any more nonsense.
However, today’s incident had really made her feel ecstatic. She was currently in
a great mood. Therefore, she

turned a blind eye to him on this occasion. “Willow, Sean.

“I rarely talk to you about much, but today I want to ask how you really feel in you
r hearts.”

Kent drank some wine from the glass then looked at the two with his face flushed
Willow and Sean both put down their knives and forks at the same time.

“What are you doing? Is there still not enough food for you to keep your mouth sh
ut?” Fion said with a cold snort as she slammed the table.

—*“You step aside. I'm talking about something serious.

“Speaking of which, we have all lived together for two years. “You two also know
each other very well.”

When Kent said this, he paused for a moment and turned to look at Fion.

“So, if the both of them like each other, I guess...

Slap!

Before Kent could finish speaking, Fion threw her fork down on the table.

“You don't even think about it!!”

Fion promptly waved her hand to interrupt Kent, her tone very domineering.
“What? When you said you wanted a car, Sean bought you a car! “When you said
“As a considerate luuman being, you shouldn't be insatiable!” Kent rebutted Fion \
“Putting

aside whether it is or isn't enough, Sean had made a bet with me back then.

“On the nintli, he would reserve the entire Riverleaf Lakeside Hotel to have a gran
“Those were his words. I want to see if he can really beat Quill at his own game!”
Fion snorted coldly as she mentioned this matter.

In Fion’s heart, despite Sean having shown his financial stability, he was still incor
