Rules of Engagement novel Chapter 16

It seemed that Mr. Zheng had no choice but to buy the dress. He followed the salesgirl to the cashier desk to pay the bill.

Soren put his arm around that woman's shoulder intimately and sent Mr. Zheng off. "Mr. Zheng, welcome next time," the woman said with a smile.

Feeling depressed, Elsa called his name, "Soren..."

Soren came forward quickly and laughed, "Please forgive me. I forgot that it's inconvenient for you without glasses. I'll take you to the fitting room."

"No, I don't want to try it. Let's go." Elsa handed back the dress to him and asked, "Where are my glasses?"

"What's wrong with you? Are you not feeling well?" Hearing her nasal voice, Soren reached out his hand to touch her forehead.

Elsa surely felt very uncomfortable. But she didn't know why she was uncomfortable.

"No, I'm not sick. I just want to go out, okay?" Elsa felt like she was about to be pathetic.

The charming voice of the woman sounded again. "Ren, come and look at this. Hurry up."

Under this situation, Soren cut Elsa short, took her hand and walked to the woman. "Hey, Ren, do you like this color? how about making a suit with this for you? You must look very handsome and gentle in it." The woman said with a smile.

"I don't need so many clothes." Soren felt a little helpless.

"Once it is done, you can put it on. You'll look good in it." Her smiling voice continued and suddenly, she kissed on Soren's cheek and said, "You surely will look good in it."

Then she walked around Elsa. Her voice also surrounded Elsa, sounded pleasant. Withdrawing her gaze, Elsa felt empty in her heart. She thought she would never have such an emotion like this again. What's the matter with her?

Soren touched his cheek and complained impatiently, "Your saliva was left on my face. Please help Elsa to choose some dresses."

She knew about Elsa, while Elsa had no idea of her. "Soren, where're my glasses?" Elsa asked, biting her lips.

"Mom, where did you put Elsa's glasses?"

"In the cabinet of the cashier." The woman's voice was still smiling. She took hold of Elsa's hand and said, "Elsa, come here to have a look at this color."

Mom? Elsa was still in a daze. What was he talking about? The depression in her heart suddenly disappeared, which made herself stunned. Why did some feelings suddenly appear and quickly disappear?

When Soren put the glasses on Elsa's nose, Susie Qi turned over her notebook. She pointed at a piece of cloth and asked, "Isn't it beautiful, Elsa?"

It was not until now that Elsa saw the woman clearly. It was hard to believe that she was the mother of Soren. She looked less than 40 and was dressed in stylish clothes. She wore an outstanding dress of great texture, a pair of fashionable black Martin boots and a decent makeup. As she spoke, a pair of exquisite leaf-form earrings swung among her long hair, giving out a bright light. And her voice was as beautiful as that of a singer.

Even if Elsa had put her glasses on, she would never think of her as the mother of Soren.

"Elsa, I will make you two long dresses with this cloth, what do you think?"

Elsa blushed by her thoughts before and said with shyness, "Actually, I don't need so many clothes either."

"You have just got married for a few days, but you two already talk in the same way to me now? That's so boring!" Susie closed the notebook and looked a little angry. However, due to her personality, she didn't need others to coax but would adjust her mood quickly. She took Elsa to a clothes stand and said, "Then take a look at these clothes. Take whatever you like back home."

"Mom, aren't you afraid that you might frighten Elsa. How long have you been here? I even haven't found a chance to introduce you to each other." Soren said with a resigned smile, "Elsa, this is my mother."

"Mom." Elsa was so embarrassed. Fortunately, her feelings would not be known by anyone...

Susie patted Soren on his shoulder and said, "Then why don't you say that you have scared me? All of a sudden, I received a phone call and it said that you were going to get married. I couldn't come back even if I could fly. You made me miss such an important occasion."

"Then why didn't you tell me when you came back. Why didn't you tell me that you bought this shop here. I can't afford your dresses of 30000 or 50000 dollars."

Susie burst into laughter and said, "It writes on the tag that it is three thousand and five hundred. I gave him an extra zero. Why not make more money of people like him? You are really my good son. If I hadn't come here as soon as I got off the plane, you would have wasted such a large deal of money."

Soren put his arm around her shoulder and said, "Fine, you are the cleverest one. Why don't you pick some dresses for your daughter-in-law?"

Ignoring Elsa's unwillingness, Susie quickly picked four dresses for her. Susie had really good taste. The clothes she chose were simple and elegant. Elsa tried them on one by one, each one suited her very well and was eye-catching, which set off her graceful and capable temperament perfectly.
