Sean Quinn's parents were both kind-hearted people. After learning about Penny Thorne's situation, Mr. and Mrs. Quinn felt deeply for her and completely understood their son's decision.
The couple offered to support Penny Thorne financially, allowing her to live on her own after leaving her uncle's house.
However, Mr. and Mrs. Quinn did not approve of having Penny Thorne move in with them.
Penny Thorne was still a minor. Although she was an orphan, her uncle was her current legal guardian. It would be inappropriate to have her move in without her guardian's permission.
Sean Quinn understood his parents' reasoning.
After some thought, he decided to move out of the Quinn family home and rent an apartment with Penny Thorne near the school.
Hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Quinn were shocked.
After some consideration, Mrs. Quinn decided to ask directly, "Sean, are you in love with Thorne?"
Sean Quinn admitted it freely, "Yes, I'm in love with Penny Thorne."
