Rules of Engagement novel Chapter 98

"I know you have forgotten it. Coco and I are going to get engaged. I'm here to send you a wedding card. That's all." Ron took out a wedding card and happily handed it to Soren.

"Okay, you. Elsa and I will arrive first and witness your most happy moment." As Soren spoke, he couldn't help but take a look at Elsa. When he met her in the hotel for the first time, he was there with Ron to find a suitable hotel for his engagement ceremony. Otherwise, he and Elsa wouldn't have met each other in the first place. Time passed quickly. In a twinkling of an eye, more than two months were gone. All in all, he and Elsa should thank Ron for their marriage.

But probably neither Ron nor Elsa knew this.

While Soren was talking, he tightened his hands around her waist, as if he was afraid that she would run away. She blushed and lowered her head to avoid eye contact with either Soren or Ron.

Soren and Ron talked for a while and said with a smile, "I have to tell grandma and grandpa to come to my wedding earlier. Ren, will you go with me?" asked Ron.

"I want to go upstairs with Elsa. You can go by yourself. You know your way to grandma and grandpa's house, don't you?" Soren looked at him amusingly.

"Okay, see you later!" Ron waved his hand and got into the car.

Looking at his car driving away, Soren felt a little funny and said, "Elsa, Ron had a date for his engagement ceremony before I did. As a result, I have been married for so long, but he just begins to do it."

"What's the time for his engagement ceremony?" asked Elsa. Elsa took the invitation card with a smile and looked at it. "It's coming!"

"It's time for us to think about what gifts we should give them. As a matter of fact, Ron and I have been friends for thirty years... "

"You're not even thirty years old," Elsa said, refraining herself from laughing loudly.

Soren also smiled and held her shoulder to go upstairs.

Since Elsa had recovered from her cold, she made an appointment to have dinner with Wang Family. The restaurant was booked by Soren. When it was time for dinner, Elsa could see that he was a little nervous. This kind of nervousness was very complicated. Perhaps he wanted to look indifferent and calm, but on the contrary, he appeared a little reserved.

Feeling the sweat in his hands, she held his hands more tightly.

When they arrived at the VIP room in the restaurant, four elders of the Wang Family were already there, waiting for them. Perhaps they wanted to leave a good impression on Elsa's parents, and at the same time, they wanted to have a closer relationship with Soren. Both Walter and Fred smiled broadly when they saw Soren and Elsa. Both Walter and Fred were serious men and seldom smiled. Their smiles were unnatural and a bit weird. It was the first time that Elsa saw them smiling like this. She couldn't help but smile back at them in the same unnatural and weird way.

Ada seemed uncomfortable when Soren and Elsa appeared in the room. She was the wife of Soren's biological father, but not Soren's mother. She said nothing to Soren and hurried to welcome Elsa's parents.

Elsa turned to look at her parents. Her parents had already heard of the wealthy and powerful Wang Family. So they were a little restrained. For a moment, everyone was a little nervous, and their hearts were all on tenterhooks. When Soren realized what had happened, he cleared his throat and introduced them to the elders of both sides.

Because it was the first time that Soren seemed to be so close to Wang Family, the facial expressions of Walter and Fred gradually relaxed. They stopped smiling weirdly. Fred smiled and asked Elsa's father, "I heard you were at a high position in the company. Is that right?"

Johnson had a lot to talk about being an official, so he answered his question warmly. In addition, Fred deliberately made small chats with almost everybody. Before long, all of them relaxed and started to talk with one another.

Only Blanche looked at Ada with a strange expression. She asked Elsa in a low voice, "Zaza, is Soren's stepmother a doctor?"

"Mom, what's wrong?" asked Elsa, confused. "Soren never told me that. Do you know her?"

"No. It's nothing. Forget it. I must have got it wrong." Blanche waved her hand casually and avoided the topic.

Elsa thought that her mother was a bit nervous because of the presence of Wang Family. So she said softly, "Mom, Soren's parents and grandparents treat me well. They never put on airs. Come on, let me get you some soup. You haven't eaten much this evening. You must be hungry," said Elsa to her mother.

"I can do it myself." Blanche regained her composure.

While they were talking, Ada handed a bowl of soup to Elsa's mother with a smile and said, "Sis, have some soup. I heard that you are several years older than me. Is it ok if I call you sis?"

"No problem. It's my pleasure. Doctor Ada, it's really my pleasure," said Elsa's mother. Blanche responded politely.

Now everyone heard that Blanche called Ada doctor. But nobody paid much attention to it. They thought that Elsa must have told her mother that Ada was a doctor.

Tonight, Soren did a good job. It was the first time that Soren behaved himself in front of Wang Family. Because of this, Fred looked delighted and satisfied, being proud of his son. He made a proposal and toasted for Soren and Elsa's marriage. He also wanted to have a drink with Elsa's father. Johnson couldn't refuse Fred. The two of them ordered white spirit and drank.
