Rules of Engagement novel Chapter 169

Soren had no choice but to say, "Haven't you asked her if she agrees or not?"

"She agreed, agreed!" Mr. Maurice said in a hurry.

"It's up to you. Come here. We'll make room for you." Soren wanted to go out for fun.

"I just want you to be present, sir! Are you listening to me carefully?" Mr. Maurice was anxious.

Soren took back his joke and agreed. He felt a little funny after hanging up the phone, and so did Elsa. She said, "I think they have a good chat through the message, so Mr. Maurice value this meeting so much."

"They are quite complementary to each other. Just let nature take its course. Of course it's a good thing if they can be together." Soren also smiled.

As soon as they finished breakfast, they heard someone knocking at the door. When Elsa opened the door, Mr. Maurice stood at the door and greeted in a low voice, "Hello, sister in law!"

Elsa walked him in and asked with a smile, "When will Janie arrive?"

"She will arrive at noon. Let's have lunch together when she arrives. It's my treat." Mr. Maurice seemed to be very happy and seemed to be very satisfied with Jane.

When Elsa went to the kitchen to get some water, Mr. Maurice followed her with a smile. Soren walked up to him, pointed at the sofa and said, "Sit over there. Don't you think you are an outsider?"

Mr. Maurice blushed with embarrassment. "Boss, I'm already thirty-five. It's not easy to find someone I like."

"Like? Well, but you don't need to follow your sister in law all the time." Soren asked in reply, "Besides, who do you like? You meet one hundred girls a year. Can you like them all?"

"It's different. I really like this one!" Mr. Maurice took out his phone, on which there was a photo of Janie. It was not clear. In the halo of light, Janie looked very beautiful with a smile. Elsa was pouring a cup of tea and taking it out. When she saw his photo, she couldn't help asking, "Have you met each other?"

"Yes, no, no..." Mr. Maurice was a capable assistant to Soren. But when he talked about this kind of things, he couldn't speak fluently. "Well. I have seen her, but she has never seen me."

Elsa was even more confused. She smiled and said, "I don't understand. Did you act like a paparazzo and go to take pictures?"

"It's... Well, didn't boss's leg get injured last time? I came to see him several times, and I met her two times. In fact, I had a crush on her at that time, but when I saw that she had a child beside her, I thought she had a family, so I lost this idea. I didn't expect that she was single with her child. That's why I had the idea as soon as boss called me that night. That's exactly what I meant. I've practiced looking at these photos for several days. I feel that the happiness of my life is all on this girl." Mr. Maurice scratched his head with embarrassment.

Elsa was a little surprised to hear that, but she was really happy for Jane. She smiled and said, "Since that's the case, let's seize her later. I believe that our efforts will not be wasted."

"Yes, I will never let you and boss down!" Mr. Maurice made a standard salute.

After a while, Jane arrived. She called out "Zaza" in a bright and generous voice and came to the side of Elsa. She stuffed a lot of snacks and fruits into her hands. With a bright smile on her white and red face, she said, "I'm here. Where is Mr. Maurice? I haven't seen him before. But I heard you say he is easy to get along with."

Mr. Maurice's face turned red all of a sudden when he heard what she had said. He was a tall and strong man, with no place to put his hands and feet. He wanted to sit down, but he felt it was not appropriate. He stood up and handed the tea that Elsa had just poured to Jane. She was thirsty, so she took it and had a sip.

Then she said gracefully, "Thank you. You must be Mr. Maurice. Although I haven't met you in person, I feel familiar with you now. Hello."

Reaching out her hand to shake hands, Mr. Maurice rubbed his trousers with his hand behind his back, but he didn't have the courage to stretch out his hand. Soren was so anxious that he coughed hard. Mr. Maurice finally came back to his senses. He stretched out his hand. The word "hello" kept circling in his mouth, but he couldn't speak it out.

Jane felt a little strange. They had a good conversation through texting. After these days of contact, she found that Mr. Maurice was a good person, considerate and caring, and the content of the text was also very interesting. When they talked, she also mentioned the problem of little Bun. Mr. Maurice said at that time, "Nowadays, it's good to have a child. Just take it as we have a child together. We don't have any brothers or sisters. It's good for us and the child that we have a baby in the future. Education is also important. We have to pay more attention to the education of the two children in the future."

The conversation in other aspects was also very pleasant to Jane. They were not young, and they talked about some realistic problems. Each other's ideas were quite compatible.

But why did he look reluctant when they really met?
