Rules of Engagement novel Chapter 7

In such an atmosphere, Johnson and Blanche were a little relieved. They didn't care about themselves. The key was their daughter's happiness. But at the dinner time, they were nervous again. The lunch was ordered according to everyone's taste by Soren. Everyone was taken care of and they had a harmonious lunch. Only Elsa barely ate. She tried her best to hold back the disgusted feeling, but she almost vomited.

Even Soren was puzzled. He took her hand under the table and found that her hand was cold. He was worried and asked, "Are you not feeling well, Elsa?"

"It's okay. Let's eat. " Elsa said and picked up the chopsticks to have some rice but still didn't touch the dishes.

Soren picked up a piece of chicken drumstick and put it into her bowl. Seeing this, Elsa put down the chopsticks all of a sudden. She covered her mouth with her hand. Her face was as pale as a ghost and she couldn't recover from the nausea.

"Ren, how long have you known Elsa?" Asked Zed and Mia, looking at each other with implications in their eyes.

Hearing that, Blanche and Johnson stopped eating and looked at the couple.

There were other meanings in Zed and Mia's words. Seeing their reaction, Soren took hold of Elsa's hand tightly and said, "We met last year and have known each other for a long time. However, it was not long ago that we decided to get married. "

Soren's words not only reassured Zed and Mia, but also removed the doubts of Elsa's parents. He could understand that Elsa didn't want her parents to worry about her. Perhaps this was the main reason why she had made the decision quickly and decisively to be with him.

Elsa gave him a grateful look. They had different thoughts during their interaction, but in the eyes of the families, it was somewhat romantic, which suppressed everyone's worries and misgivings.

In the afternoon, some relatives and friends of the Wang family came. They seemed to be acquainted with Zed and Mia. Soren did his best to be a good son-in-law in front of Elsa's parents. Elsa shouldn't be indifferent either, so she came up to greet them. Anyway, Elsa's parents didn't have any chance to whisper to their daughter until the banquet began.

Although Elsa just had known Soren for a short time and it was also the first time that she met with his relatives and friends, she was a polite and considerate girl who always did her job well. A satisfied smile crept onto the faces of Zed and Mia and they liked Elsa more.

Just at that time, someone rushed in with a little boy. She shouted from afar, "Congratulations, Elsa. I should have come to help you earlier, but there was a slight delay. I'll punish myself with three glasses of wine later!"

It seemed that the banquet was not started yet but she already wanted to drink. Therefore, it was easy to recognize that among all friends of Elsa, this must be Jane.

Elsa walked towards her, meanwhile, little Bun also rushed to Elsa and said in a childish voice, "Congratulations, auntie. Happy wedding!"

"Good boy." Elsa's heart was so warm. She touched his little head and said, "Thank you very much, little Bun."

"Why are you still wearing this? What time is it now? I'm not criticizing you, Elsa, but if you have changed the dressing style of an old spinster, do you need to wait until today to get married? Let's go upstairs. I'll help you change your clothes. People who don't know you might think you're a hotel staff. "

With a smile on her face, Elsa said, "I was going to change my clothes earlier, but I didn't expect so many people to come here and I didn't have time to do that. I'll get changed before dinner. Actually it's not a formal ceremony, we'll just have dinner together and meet with families of each part, in order that we can recognize all the relatives on the street in the future. "

Jane said with a bright smile, "You're right. But you should change your clothes earlier. Come on, I'll go with you, and just let little Bun stay with your man downstairs for a while. "

"Well, I should let... let him know it. " Elsa didn't know how to bring up the name of Soren.

While they were talking, Soren came over to them. Elsa said to him, "Well... I want to go upstairs and change my clothes. Please take care of here, okay? "

"What kind of clothes will you wear? Of what color?" Soren asked in a hurry.

"A simple improved cheongsam, it's red. What's wrong?"

Soren smiled, "Nothing. I also need to get changed. I don't want to have a bad match with you. Now I think a black suit will be a good choice."

It was not until now that Elsa found that not only her clothes were not decent, a black uniform with white shirt, but Soren also did not look like a bridegroom now and was dressed in his casual clothes. Even if they got married without a formal wedding ceremony, it was still not proper for them to be like these.

As soon as Elsa turned around and was about to leave, Soren suddenly held her shoulder with his arm. A flush began to appear on Elsa's cheeks. "What's the matter?" She asked.

"Don't come down by yourself. When you're done, I'll pick you up, okay?" His eyes were so affectionate that Elsa couldn't look straight into them.

"Sure." "This is my godson. Can you help me to take care of him for a while?" Elsa said, taking little Bun by her hand.
