Rules of Engagement novel Chapter 22

Seeing that Elsa had come out of the bedroom after changing her clothes, Mia helped her out with a smile and said, "You can wear whatever you like at home."

"Yes." "I'm sorry, Grandpa and Grandma, I just took it by mistake. " Elsa apologized.

Seeing that both of them had a deeper smile on their faces, she realized that the truth she was trying to hide was only partly revealed.

Mia took out some soup and said with a smile, "I bring you some soup as you are so thin. Come on, have some."

Elsa was in a dilemma. Few people knew that she was a vegetarian. She also tried to avoid having meals with other people or drinking their soup, lest she felt painful and others would think she was hypocritical. But she couldn't refuse to drink the soup brought by her grandparents, who were at such an old age.

Mia handed the bowl to her and said, "Elsa, have a try. It's not easy for a child to live alone away from families. Seeing you so thin, I'm worried about you."

Holding the bowl in her hands, Elsa saw there was only a piece of cabbage floating in the soup. It didn't look greasy. Then she closed her eyes and took a sip. She prayed in her mind that she would not feel nausea or spit it out in front of them...

But she didn't know it was cooked by the best chief of Mia's family. The chicken soup was boiled over and over again. It took a long time of making this, no less than other grand dishes.

Unexpectedly, the delicious taste of the soup filled Elsa's mouth. She opened her mouth and took a big gulp as if she was going to swallow her tongue.

"Ren told me that you don't like meat so I didn't bring you the chicken. I don't want you to dislike it." Seeing Elsa drink the soup quickly, Mia refilled another bowl for her.

"No, it's so delicious. How could I dislike it?" Elsa was a little embarrassed. She didn't expect that Soren would tell this to his grandparents.

Zed and Mia were like a well-educated scholar couple with wisdom and kind hearts, who would often be seen on the campus of a university. They both showed their affection to Soren. It was no wonder that although Soren was a strong man, he had always been gentle and graceful. You could tell that he's so outstanding by his words or acts.

Thinking about this, Mia suddenly asked, "Elsa, last time I saw you retching, did you go to hospital? How did the doctor say about the baby?"

Hearing that, Elsa was choked by the soup. She was not able to breathe. Instead, she kept coughing, covering her mouth with her hand to prevent herself from bursting into tears.

Why did Soren only report to his grandparents about some unimportant things? Why didn't he give them an explanation of the real important ones?

"No... Grandma, I felt dizzy and retched because of taking the car. Nothing serious happened. I haven't decided to have a baby yet." Elsa took the tissue from Grandma, wiped her face and explained.

Mia was a little disappointed, but she still smiled and said, "Really?"

"Yes, Grandma."

"Fine... I thought we would be together for four generations. Elsa, our family is big, and Ren is the only grandchild of us eight old people. It's inevitable to be anxious. Now, finally he is willing to get married." Holding Elsa's hand, Mia said sincerely, "Ren is not a young man now. We hope to see him as a father as soon as possible. A mother will always be worried about her son even if he's mature. As his family is unsettled, there is no one in our family who can be relieved."

A light feeling emerged in Elsa's heart. It seemed that he was not in a hurry to have a child, but she did not think so much at the beginning of their marriage either. At that time, the reason why they decided to unite with each other was because they all wanted to solve the problems at present.

Mia was looking at Elsa with eager eyes. Elsa had to promise her again and again, "Grandma, don't worry. I will discuss with Ren about it."

"Okay. Then I have nothing to worry about." Mia said while patting Elsa's hand. "Then we're leaving now. Remember to drink more soup."

After the grandparents left, Elsa closed the door and leaned against it for a long time.

It was only a few days, and everyone was talking about the child. About marriage and family, their thought was too simple at the beginning.

The next day, Elsa followed her mother's instructions to the hospital for physical examination.

The doctor was familiar with Elsa because she had been here several times.

Although it was not written in the report, and Elsa gave him a fair and objective evaluation. However, she could not swallow the rage in her heart.

"Hello, Mr. Caspar. Goodbye." After saying that, Elsa was about to leave.

Caspar crossed his arms and stood in front of her. "Elsa, you are so interesting as before. I have read that exclusive interview. I didn't know that I have so many advantages."

"Really?" Elsa smiled awkwardly. "Mr. Caspar, I have something to deal with. I have to go now."

"Hey, Elsa. Six months ago when you met me. You were not like this. There's a saying, 'after the donkey finishes its work in the mill, the owner will get it killed'. Are you trying to abandon me after using me?"

'Because I had to be with you for the interview six months ago. But it's unnecessary now.' Though Elsa thought angrily in her mind, she didn't dare to offend him publicly. She put on a smile and answered, "Of course not. I'm too weak to kill the donkey."

"Elsa, which part of my body do you think is like the donkey?"

Elsa glared at him. This man was so mean that he would flirt with all the women he knew or not, especially a gentle woman. She turned around and was about to walk away, while Caspar laughed behind her: "Come on. You have seen me naked at that time. But I have seen you completely..."

Though Elsa knew that Caspar always behaved like this, she still felt angry. She walked up to him and slapped him on the face. She was filled with rage after slapping him.

A few onlookers, who just passed by, gathered around when they heard such exciting words. One of them looked at the back of Elsa with meaningful eyes.

Elsa was a kind and gentle girl. She seldom got angry with others. But Caspar was too annoying. Last time, he was praised for being the best company owner. Elsa was demanded to have an interview with him. But the first time he met her, he looked down upon her and refused to accept the interview. Elsa also turned a blind eye to him. Because when she went to his office for the first time, she saw him holding his secretary and kissing her happily.

In order to complete the task, Elsa had been chasing him for a long time. Finally, he agreed and let her interview him in his apartment.

That time, Elsa arrived on time. The door of his apartment was not locked. She knocked on the door and Caspar said lazily, "Come in."
