Rules of Engagement novel Chapter 173

Mr. Maurice was a short tempered man. He got angry when he heard that Ron's question was incoherent, but he didn't lose his temper because he was worried about Jane. When Ron reached out to grab Jane's documents, he couldn't help but punch him. "Where do you come from? It's immoral to destroy a marriage, don't you know?"

Ron was not in good health because of asthma. Mr. Maurice took care of some officers every day. It was easy for him to deal with more than a dozen people with regular exercise. Ron was about to be hit hard by this punch.

"Hey, Maurice, calm down. Don't hit him!" Jane tried to grab Mr. Maurice's clothes but failed.

In a blink of an eye, Soren walked up to several people, grabbed Mr. Maurice's fist and pulled him out of balance. It was exactly what Jane said. Mr. Maurice had been hesitating. Even if Soren didn't come, he might not hit him.

Elsa and Mrs. Sophia also arrived. They all looked at the scene in disbelief. Mrs. Sophia was very anxious. "What's wrong? What are you doing?"

Soren was a little angry at first. He asked in a low voice, "Ron, what are you doing here?"

"I..." The instinct in Ron's heart made him appear here today, but he couldn't find a reasonable reason to explain.

Jane was also very angry. She picked up the scattered documents, sorted them out page by page, and said to Mr. Maurice, "This person is my former boss. He doesn't want me to live a good life. He wants me to stay in his office twenty-four hours to help him. He is unhappy again. You don't need to talk to him."

Mr. Maurice nodded, "If you don't like it, you can quit your job and I'll take care of our family."

"Okay." Jane nodded.

Ron's face turned ghastly pale. Soren grabbed his arm and said, "Let's go back and talk about it. It is inappropriate to stand here like this."

Seeing that the documents were handed over to the window by Jane and Mr. Maurice, Ron couldn't help but reach out to take them out again. Jane was very angry. "Ron Qin, what the hell are you doing?"

"I..." Ron was stunned by her question. After a while, he seemed to have made up his mind. "Jane, I'm single now. I like you. I don't want to see you get married so soon. Can you give me some time and think about me?"

Jane's hand trembled for a second. She said, "Ridiculous! Why can you do whatever you want? Why should I give you time?"

"Because I like you! I like you since a long time ago. Maybe I didn't understand that feeling at that time, but now I know it clearly. Jane!" Ron stepped forward and held Jane's hand.

Mr. Maurice couldn't stand it anymore even in front of Soren. This time, he punched Ron directly, which made him fall to the ground. In addition to asthma, Ron was better at fighting than ordinary people. After all, he grew up in a villa on the top of the mountain. But it was much worse than Mr. Maurice. He was beaten to the ground in two to three moves.

What a mess! Soren grabbed Mr. Maurice and threw him aside. Ron sat up with a bitter smile and his eyes were beaten black. Elsa reached out her hand to support Mrs. Sophia, who had a sad look on her face. When Soren was about to say something, Ron suddenly covered his mouth and gasped for breath. He had been in a hurry just now and had rushed all the way here without taking a rest. At this moment, he had asthma again.

In a hurry, Soren looked for the medicine in his pocket, but he couldn't find anything after searching for a long time. It was not until Elsa reacted that she reached out for the car key of Ron and said, "I'll go to his car to look for it!"

Just as Elsa was about to run away, Jane took out the medicine bottle from her bag and threw it in front of Ron. Soren hurriedly grabbed the medicine and sprayed it into Ron's nose.

After such a mess, they really didn't get the marriage certificate. Mrs. Sophia was the most anxious. She held Jane's hand and kept asking, but Jane couldn't explain. She took her mother aside, with tears in her eyes. Mr. Maurice rubbed his hands and walked over. He didn't speak much in front of Jane, and now he couldn't say anything. It took him a long time to think of something. He took out a tissue and wiped Jane's tears.
