Rules of Engagement novel Chapter 100

Blanche's worry was reasonable.

Elsa understood her mother's worries. If she had known this before their marriage, she would have flinched and escaped far away. But after getting married, she didn't feel stressed because of his sincere care for her.

Elsa smiled and said, "Mom, Ren has always been nice to me. As you said, the benefits of our small family are more important than that of the big family. As long as he loves me, no matter how powerful his family is, it won't have much impact on me."

"That's good." Blanche looked at Elsa lovingly, "in fact, Zaza, we are dignified, neither humble nor pushy. We don't need to care about the family background. If we think too much, it will only add burden to ourselves. Now the society is different. It's not in the ancient time. The most important thing is that you are happy."

"Yes, Mom is right." Elsa held Blanche's arm and walked slowly.

Although Blanche said so, she still worried about her daughter when it was her turn. Since Elsa got married, she would stand under other people's roof. The more certain she was, the more comfort she would get.

When they got home, Elsa took out those photos and put them in the photo frames. It was the first time for Blanche and Johnson to see Soren in a suit, and they couldn't help but admire him.

In the evening, when Soren came back and saw the photo frame on the desk, his eyes were full of undisguised smile. He picked it up and looked at it, "When shall we seriously take some photos?"

He turned around and pointed at the bedside. "There, Zaza, what about hanging a big photo there?"

Elsa's face turned red because of him. He usually called her like this at night. Now when they were awake, he would also call her "Zaza" more and more instead of her name.

After saying that, he looked at his watch and said apologetically, "I'm sorry that I can't accompany you and Mom and Dad tonight. Ron asked me to drink with him. He said he was going to step into the grave of marriage, so he was still nervous."

Elsa shook her head and smiled. "Grave?"

"It is the belonging. He doesn't know yet." Soren kissed her forehead, picked up the key and left.

Elsa called him, "If you both will drink, who will drive later?"

"I'll call Bob later. Go to bed early if you are tired. Don't wait for me." After finishing his words, Soren went out and said goodbye to Elsa's parents. Then he turned around and went out.

In the evening, Elsa accompanied her parents to go shopping nearby. Regardless of their refusal, she bought them some new clothes. She felt a little relaxed and a little filial.

When they came back, it was already late. After taking a shower, she read a novel on the bed. Then she looked at her cell phone. There was still no message from Soren. She didn't know when would Soren and Ron finish drinking. She wanted to ask, but she had never called Soren at this time. She hesitated if it was good to call him now.

She thought about it for a long time and finally decided to call him. At least she wanted to know that he was fine, then she could sleep at ease. As soon as the phone was connected, Soren picked it up, "Elsa, are you still awake?"

"I... I don't mean anything else. I just want to call you then I'll go to bed." Elsa didn't know how a normal couple got along with each other. She didn't know either whether calling him at this time meant concern or constraint to him.

Soren said helplessly, "Ron is drunken now. I can't leave him alone here. If you are sleepy, go to bed early. Don't worry about me."

"Do you need my help?" Elsa said subconsciously.

Soren really wanted her to be with him at this time. Recently, he had been used to being accompanied by her. Even if she did nothing and said nothing, it was comforting for him. Worried that she might not sleep well, he said, "You'd better go to bed early. I can handle it."

When he was about to hang up the phone, Ron rushed to him drunkenly, "Call... Call Jane, Ren, give me the phone. I want to call... Jane Liang!"

Elsa was shocked. He was going to get married! Why did he want to call Jane at this time? She asked on the phone, "Ren, where are you?"

"I'll ask Bob to pick you up. It's too late. Don't drive by yourself." Then Soren hung up the phone.

Bob soon arrived downstairs. Following him, Elsa arrived at the bar where Soren and Ron were.
