Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 1226

Elsa's father's voice was low.

Charlie saw Elsa pouting pitifully. Without making a sound, he mouthed, "He wants to talk to you."

Elsa read the words from his lips. Soon after, her brows almost met each other as she tried to snatch the phone away from him.

However, Charlie wouldn't give it to her and moved the phone out of her reach. He then said on the phone, "Please forgive me for being rude and not doing as you requested. I don't want Elsa to speak with you right now. If you don't accept my apology over the phone, then I'll apologize again in person the next time we meet. Goodbye!"

Under the intent gaze of Elsa, Charlie hung up the call. Then, without asking for her opinion, he dragged her into the car, fastening the seat belt for her before he started the engine and drove to the city.

Elsa was seething but kept silent in her seat. She turned her head to look out of the window, waiting for Charlie to apologize to her. When he didn't, she became even more furious.

When they reached the university, Elsa took her luggage out and walked towards her dormitory in grave silence.

Charlie merely sat in the car and watched the small angry figure stomp off. With a wicked smile plastered on his face, he took his phone out and dialed a number. In just a few seconds, the call was picked up. Charlie respectfully greeted, "Hello, Mr. Ji."

"Charlie." Elsa's father smiled. "Was I loud enough? Did Elsa hear that?"

"Her phone was on the loudspeaker, and you acted really well. I'm sure she heard you clearly." There was a hint of a smile in Charlie's tone. "But now she's angry."

"It doesn't matter. She'll get over it in just an hour. You don't have to worry about that. However, you still have to talk nicely to her. Do remember to be kind to Elsa."

"Rest assured, Mr. Ji. I won't let her be angry for too long." Charlie gazed at Elsa in the distance with tenderness in his eyes, and he added, "I'm coming to H City to visit you and Mrs. Ji with Elsa on the weekend. If you don't mind, my parents would like to meet you as well."

Elsa's father couldn't control his joy now. He was so glad that Elsa had found her love. Even though Elsa was still in university, he had talked to Elsa's roommates and was informed that Charlie had been in love with Elsa for over a decade. There was no reason for him to go against this relationship. In every aspect, Charlie seemed to be the perfect candidate to be his son-in-law. He was wealthy, handsome, and most importantly, deeply in love with his daughter.

"If Mr. Long and Mrs. Long are free, we would love to meet them." He suppressed his joy so as not to sound too awkward. "May I ask what the purpose of this visit is?" Even though Mr. Ji was supportive of the relationship between his daughter and Charlie, he still wasn't ready to let her go just yet. He needed some more proof that Charlie had the power and determination to be responsible for his daughter, Elsa and to take care of her for the rest of her life.

Charlie immediately understood Mr. Ji's concerns. His lips curved into a big smile as he answered, "I would like to come and discuss the details of an engagement between Elsa and me." Charlie's tone suddenly turned serious. "Elsa and I haven't graduated yet, and I don't want to affect her studies. But, I have come so far to be with her, and I don't want to lose her either. So I think we should be engaged first. Then after we graduate, when Elsa is fully prepared, I will marry her."
