Rules of Engagement

Chapter 170 To the Future of Us

Soren and Elsa looked at each other, and Elsa put a glass of wine into Maurice's hand. "Have a try. If you still can't talk to her, I don't have other ways to help you."

Maurice didn't care about whatever it was in his hand. He drank it all in one gulp.

Elsa was still a little worried. Maurice's face flushed slightly. "It tastes good!"

He turned around and walked toward Jane. "Hello, my name is Maurice Li. I'm a colonel of the army in Linchuan City. I've seen you at Mr. Sorens home last time. You haven't changed much since we met. How are little Bun and your mother? Please do me a favor to greet them." ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Maurice's calm manner made him a perfect colonel. Now, not to mention Jane, even Elsa was shocked. Looking back at Soren, Soren thought for a while and said, "He is indeed talkative when he's drunken, but I have never thought of using it in this situation. If he had known it earlier, he wouldn't have been alone for so many years."

Then, under the surprised gaze of Soren and Elsa, Maurice behaved generously and talked smoothly with Jane. They finished the first happy formal meeting. At noon, he invited Soren and Elsa to have lunch together. Soren and Elsa shook their heads. "You two can have lunch together. We will have lunch at home!"

The two of them went out. When they were about to go out, Soren pulled Maurice and said, "Order some wine for lunch. You need to drink a little!"

Maurice obeyed his suggestion. "Yes, sir!"

As soon as they went out, Elsa and Soren looked at each other. They didn't expect that things would develop so dramatic. Thinking of the flurry just now, the two of them couldn't help laughing again.

But a few days later, Jane asked Elsa out and told her that she and Maurice were going to get the marriage certificate soon. Elsa still felt it was too fast. "Don't you want to wait more time?"

"Well, since we are a perfect match, there's no need to wait for more time. I believe my intuition. Maurice is always a trustworthy person. I've met so many people, but no one has ever given me such a sense of security."

Elsa smiled. "I just hope that you can have more chances to fall in love with each other before you get married. Marriage is not romantic."

"I think you and your husband are very romantic, aren't you?" Jane joked with a smile, "To be honest, although I think it will be a little fast, the story between you and Ren also gives me confidence, making me believe that there is a matter of first marriage and then falling in love."

Elsa held her hand and said, "Anyway, I want to see you and little Bun live a simple and happy life."

"Isn't it already started?" Said Jane with a smile.

Raising the ice cream in her hand, Elsa also smiled brightly. "Say goodbye to the past and cheers for the future!"

"To the future of us!" Jane also raised the ice-cream.

Because of this, Elsa was also in a good mood. When she went to the hospital with Soren for the pre pregnancy check-up, she always had a satisfied smile on her face. She also told Jane to keep some old clothes that little Bun had worn before, so that she could use them for her future baby. Jane made fun of her for a long time because of this.

Thinking that she could concentrate on preparing for the pregnancy after the pre pregnancy examination, Elsa's face turned a little red, and she had been immersed in such happiness. In fact,

Elsa was willing to be drawn to the Ministry of Culture because she wanted to prepare for this. She was afraid of being bothered by the work in the newspaper office, and she was also afraid of what happened that night caused by Johnny again. If she really got pregnant, she would not let anything bad happen to her baby.

Seeing her red face, Soren smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. It's just a simple examination."

"Yes. I'm not nervous." As Elsa spoke, she looked up at Soren subconsciously. The corner of his lips was particularly beautiful, firm and gentle, which made her reluctant to look away. She stretched out her fingers to touch his lips.

"What's wrong?" Soren held her fingers and kissed them.

The way he kissed her was very gentle, and there was some unspeakable sexy meaning in it. Elsa's heart beat very fast. "I was thinking... If we will have a baby, hope he can have such lips as yours. "

Soren laughed and said, "It will happen. We will definitely merge our advantages into one baby. A baby girl that everyone loves!"

Elsa smiled shyly, "I don't have anything good to let her inherit. It's enough for her to look like you, then she will be very beautiful..."

"Who says no? You are gentle and beautiful. I don't know how many girls would want to be like you."

As the two of them spoke, they looked forward to the future and walked out of the hospital hand in hand. Because one of the examination results hadn't come out yet, they could only get the result in the afternoon.

Soren drove to the airport with Elsa to pick up Susie. Susie flew everywhere all year round, and took the plane more frequently than the taxi. Soren was usually busy, and Susie's time was not fixed, so he

rarely went to the airport to pick her up. However, after the fog incident last time, Soren really wanted to see his mother as soon as possible and have a meal together.

His mother had always been the person he respected most and the most important person in his heart. He turned his head to look at Elsa, who was thinking about what to eat. "Mom likes steak cooked with red wine. Let's go to eat steak."

"Okay." Soren nodded. He suddenly remembered what his grandmother said that night. He felt a little melancholy and said softly, "Mom is a great person. She had suffered a lot over the years. Although she seldom talked to Father now, she had never said anything bad about Father in front of me when I was a child. On the contrary, I don't like the Wang Family, and she came to persuade me."

Elsa also admired Susie's personality. She nodded and said, "I think she is trying to give you a normal and peaceful family environment as much as possible. She also hopes that you can enjoy the love from your grandparents and father like other children. Ren, Mom's so thoughtful. You don't have to care too much about the past. Otherwise, it will disappoint her."

"Yes, you are right. I have thought about it for a long time. Maybe my temper is really like my father and grandfather sometimes." Soren suddenly burst into laughter, "So gene is really something that cannot be changed."

The smile on Elsa's face became bigger and bigger, which made her look gentle, intellectual and beautiful. Soren couldn't take his eyes off her. Soren looked straight ahead with a smile on his face. Maybe she was not the most beautiful one, nor was she the most brilliant. But in his heart, she had always been such a special existence, which could make him change from restlessness to peace, from tension to calmness. He felt safe and happy.

Almost at the same time, one stretched out his right hand, and the other stretched out her left hand. They held each other's hands tightly and felt the tacit understanding.

As soon as they arrived at the airport, they saw Susie. She was wearing a very beautiful long dress and a coat. The long curly hair and high-heeled shoes made her very attractive. She was so beautiful that she looked like as if she was shining. Even Elsa herself could not help look straight at her. She could imagine how many young men would be around Susie. And she knew how conservative the grandfather of Soren was. He surely was not used to such a scene.

She thought that if Susie and Fred knew each other in this era, how perfect and enviable they would be.

Susie looked at Elsa up and down and smiled, "Hey, what are you thinking about?"

"I was thinking where did you buy the clothes, Mom." Holding Susie's arm, Elsa stood close to her.

"If you like it, I'll ask my secretary to bring you a suit. But you can't wear the same color as me, because my hair style is different from yours." Susie looked Elsa up and down. "To tell you the truth, my hair is yellow and ugly, so I have to dye it. It's great that you don't need to do anything with your beautiful hair."

Looking at her beautiful long curly hair, Elsa said in surprise, "No, your hair is so beautiful. When I first met you, I hoped that I would have such beautiful hair as this girl's."

Elsa was telling the truth. When she met Susie at that time, she didn't expect that she was Soren's mother. At that time, she became extremely unhappy because Susie kissed Soren. Then she realized that in fact, she had been jealous because of Soren since then. She didn't feel the details at that time, but only when she thought of them later would she understand the emotions at that time more clearly.

Susie smiled happily and walked to the parking lot with Elsa, talking and laughing. Soren was ignored by his mother and abandoned by his wife in such a way. When Susie came out of the airport passage, the two were stuck together and didn't talk to him at all. He had no choice but to pick up the key and follow them, taking the initiative to act as a driver.

When they arrived at the restaurant, Susie and Elsa talked about the plot and trend of the popular romantic novel recently, and then began to talk about the use of nail polish. Susie had a very young mind and felt easy to talk with Elsa. Seeing that Elsa's ten fingernails were clean, she smiled and said, "Elsa, I happen to bring a very good nail polish. I'll give you a bottle of it. Come on, let me help you..."

Susie said as she pulled over Elsa's hand to help her apply nail polish.

"Mom, I haven't used nail polish recently. You'd better keep it for yourself. According to the book, nail polish is not suitable for my situation." Elsa explained in a low voice, withdrawing her hand.
