"I..." As she was about to say something, she found that her voice was choking.
"This is my identification. You can have a look first. " Soren took out his ID card, put it on the table, neatly facing Elsa.
Hearing that, Elsa looked at it involuntary. The active service man was of high rank. She had interviewed many people with the same identity as him. The identification looked very familiar and real, and even the wrinkles that had been used for a long time were so real.
"I don't smoke and drink occasionally. I don't have other bad habits."
"Why me?" Elsa looked at his identification. She knew that it was not as difficult as he said to find a suitable bride in his identity and status.
Soren didn't know why. Yesterday, he had a strong feeling that the man who was supposed to stand by her side should not be Greenwood. He didn't make the decision until he saw her tears. He also could see that there was no love between her and Greenwood. He couldn't say how much he loved her. "I've been meeting you all these days. Maybe I think you fit me well?"
They had worked in the company for three years and they were think that sows are more beautiful than beauty. This was a muscular courting's pet phrase, who was interviewed by Elsa. She suddenly thought of this sentence, and believed his words "you fit me well".
But she was not sure whether she should accept his proposal or not since it was such a sudden decision.
At this time, the waiter brought over the coffee and placed it beside them. "Please enjoy the two spots of coffee."
Soren tore the sugar inside and asked, "pack full or half?"
"Half a packet."
He put the sugar in the coffee, stirred it well and then pushed it in front of her. Since his proposal and the thing he was doing now worked together, it seemed that he was trying to please her. But there was a mixture of concentration and calmness on his face. It seemed that he did a small thing for her and it made sense.
After that, he said slowly, "It doesn't matter. You can think about it first."
Elsa took a deep breath in her heart. "I have been in poor health and I had surgery before. The doctor said that the chance of pregnancy is lower than that of ordinary people. I am busy with work, and sometimes I am out of order, so I don't care much about the family. I'm not that perfect... "
Everyone in the room understood the implication in her words.
"I don't mind. The point was that you fit me. What's more, it's still early to talk about the baby... "
Hearing that, Elsa blushed and said, "so we are going to take what we need now."
After hearing this, Soren nodded his head reluctantly.
"Then What are we going to do now? " Elsa asked.
His words suggested that they accepted each other's offer and they were going to marry.
"I'll call someone. Can you sit down for a while?" Soren said to somebody on the phone.
Elsa was really sleepy so she made a gesture to the bathroom. Soren nodded. She rushed into the washroom, took off the large glasses, and threw cold water on her face. She had a bad rest these days and was in a daze. She felt that all the things were like a dream. She wondered if she would be still in the dormitory when she woke up. She was holding the quilt and working hard against the sound of the alarm?
She closed her eyes hard and then opened them. When she saw the hotel's logo in the mirror, she told herself that it was not a dream and that she walked out of the bathroom slowly. At the same time, she saw that Soren was still in his seat. A young man with robust and muscular head ran towards them and put a stack of documents in front of Soren. With a simple and honest smile on his tanned face, he said, "Sir, here are all the materials!"
"Hello, sister-in-law." as soon as Elsa sat down in front of Soren, the young man greeted in a coarse voice
Hearing that, Elsa could not help but blush.
"Okay, you wait me for a moment!"
"Yes, sir!" The young man bowed to him, turned around and ran to a distance. He stood as tall as a status.
With the papers in his hand, Soren said, "these are materials for marriage registration. It will take a lot of days to submit them. We can't get a marriage license today."
"Then what should we do?" said Elsa. she felt like floating on a cloud
"Do you mind we hold the wedding party tonight and postpone the marriage registration a few days later?"
Elsa shook her head to show that she didn't mind.
