Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 1208

Molly shut her mouth suddenly while Addison, who was just beside them, was rolling his eyes and shaking his head helplessly.

Elsa had been very nervous previously. However, Molly had been so kind and warm towards Elsa that she made her feel completely at ease and Elsa couldn't have been happier. It was as if they had known each other for a long time. She nodded to Molly with a smile and replied, "Aunt Molly, I am Little Bun... but this is the nickname that Charlie gave me. My name is Elsa. You can call me Little Bun, or Elsa."

Molly pursed her lips secretly and glanced at Charlie with blame in her eyes. She was giving him a hint that it was all his fault. 'It's your fault for this slip-up. You kept calling her Little Bun and made me call her that without realizing it, ' Molly thought.

Charlie ignored his mother's stern glance. He held Elsa's hand and led her to the seat beside Molly.

"Nice to meet you, Uncle Brian. Nice to meet you, Addison," Elsa greeted them courteously before she sat down.

Addison smiled with his lips pursed and the beautiful dimples deepened on his cheeks. The dimples gave him a boyish charm making others forget how powerful he looked previously. Addison said gently to Elsa, "You can call me Mark, as Charlie and Evelyn do. Or, simply call me brother. Please, make yourself comfortable and relax."

Elsa blushed and nodded. "Thank you, Mark."

Brian never had any special requirements for his children's spouses. In his opinion, the kids could decide this matter for themselves. They didn't need any of his interference, as all of his children were capable of dealing with their own personal relationships well. At least they were able to do it better than he had done when Brian was their age.

Once all the members of the Long Family had arrived, the dishes started to be served. With Molly and Evelyn's presence, the atmosphere was warm and pleasant. Although Brian was used to wearing a cold expression on his face, he was more relaxed and easy-going with all his family present and with Elsa. Addison was the best big brother, and of course, he wouldn't let the girl Charlie loved feel embarrassed. Although Elsa was extremely nervous and had her reservations at the beginning of the dinner, after just two hours of dining with the Long Family, she felt completely at ease and a part of their family.

"Are your parents in A City?" Brian asked Elsa.

Elsa shook her head and replied with a smile, "Both my mom and dad are in H City, Uncle Brian."

Brian nodded his head and continued, "Molly and I will be staying here for a while. I wonder if it is possible to meet your parents?" Brian was aware that Charlie had liked this girl ever since he was a child and knowing his son well, Brian knew that Charlie's feelings for her would probably not change for the rest of his life. If Elsa felt the same way about Charlie, then it would be a good idea for the parents to meet and get the children engaged. Later once they both graduated they could get married.

"Well..." After hearing what Brian had just said, Molly rolled her eyes and pretended to be indifferent. She said to Addison, "Mark, a certain someone said just days ago, that I was too impatient and couldn't wait... What do you think?"

Such an obvious hint was understood by Elsa immediately as well as the three children of the Long Family. Instantly, an eruption of laughter filled the room.

Brian didn't mind Molly's little joke on his behalf and replied gently, "Okay. If you can wait, then we can stay on Dragon Island for just a few more days before we return."
