Rules of Engagement novel Chapter 63

Seeing that Elsa was silent for a long time, and she was unconsciously biting her fingernails, Soren glanced at the shopping mall and said, "let's go, I'll go in and help you to do manicure."

Instead of going to the manicure room, he went to the cosmetic counter and bought two bottles of nail polish.

To be honest, Elsa didn't want to make her hands so beautiful. She was not willing to show off. Soren persuaded, "just make the simplest payment. I don't want you to bite your nails always. If your hands look so beautiful, you will not want to bite your nails anymore. "

"I won't bite myself. Or you could have slapped away my hand when I bit myself. Mom used to do that. "

"Are you sure you can withstand my patting?" Soren raised his hand pretend to slap her hands. Unlike ordinary people, he was powerful even when he was just pretending.

Elsa was taken aback. She stepped back and bit her lips. "Don't beat me, please. Sometimes I hurt when mom beat my hands. "

Soren clenched his hands into fists and said, "then let's do manicure."

Elsa insisted that she only needed to apply the transparent nail polish. She did that simply and didn't need any other color. Soren Wang agreed with her. In fact, he didn't like fancy things either. The girl had clean short fingernails and long black hair, which were exactly his type. However, Elsa bit her own nails so hard that her nails seemed to be disfigured. Every time when she had something on her mind, she would take a bite. It was grandmother and mother that suggested her use nail polish to correct her shortcomings.

In manicure shop, there were many procedures even for doing the simplest manicure. It took about an hour for them to get all the work done. Soren, who sat beside Elsa, was patient. When he paid for the serve, several masseuses said to Elsa, "Miss, your boyfriend is so considerate to you. He bought the nail polish especially for you. and he sat here and chatted with you for a long time. It's rare to meet such a good man nowadays. "

Hearing that, Elsa blushed slightly. "He is not my boyfriend."

"What? Is he your brother? elder male cousin? elder male cousin? Are he married? Miss, do you mind giving me your phone number? " They admire him. How could a playboy like Soren be so charming.

"I..." All the people bombarded her with questions, leaving her no time to speak.

When Soren got back, he found that she was in trouble. He held her in his arms and said, "I am really not her boyfriend."

"Wow." Cheers came from the manicure shop.

"Because we have our marriage certificate. I am her husband." After kissed on the lips, she raised her head.

"Okay." People were all disappointed.

Elsa pushed him away, blushing. Soren smiled and strode out of the manicure shop with her.

As soon as they came out, they met Caspar and Shirley.

She was really afraid that Caspar would say something indecent, like "look the nude". She had had enough of it. She couldn't explain it to the crowd of onlookers every time.

But when she was in a hurry to walk away from the Caspar, Soren stopped and stood still with her. They were hand in hand. When he stopped, and she had no choice but to follow him. Looking Soren, Shirley greeted him politely, "Hi, Ren."

"Aunt, Caper." Soren stopped and greeted them. He said nothing and the smile on his face disappeared.

Soren came from a wealthy family, so he must be familiar with Caspar. And Caspar was a blabbermouth that she felt worried about him. Anxiety was of no use. She had to lower her head and lower her eyes to look at the toes of her shoes, without raising her head at all.

Caspar looked at Elsa.

"Ren, who is this young lady?" When Shirley saw them holding hands, she asked.

On the wedding day, in order to prepare the table for Elsa and just for these table, Soren made painstaking arrangement. At that time, almost all the people present were from the Qi family and the Mai family, and Fred didn't know about this until the wedding party was finished. The Wang family felt angry. So they couldn't spread the news to others. Therefore, Qiao family were not clear about the marriage of Soren.

Soren nodded, "it's my wife, Elsa."

"had you get married? I didn't hear your father say anything about it. " She said with a slight disappointment flashing across her eyes.

"Yes." "As the wedding ceremony is as simple as it should be, it hasn't gone viral." Soren answered

Looking at Shirley, Shirley was absent-minded, she said, "not bad, very good. This child is very good."

"Then we are leaving now." After he finished his words, they left, without waiting for an answer.

Caspar was serious when Elsa looked at him, which was a little different from what she had known. But he didn't say anything rude to embarrass them, which was the best ending for them. Elsa didn't want to think too much, so she left with Soren.

On their way back, Elsa kept silent because she was thinking about something. Soren focused on driving and looked at the road in front of him calmly. When they were about to arrive home, Soren asked, "would you like to go to visit our grandparents?"

"No, I'm a little tired." Remembering that he said he wanted to see the photos before, she refused without hesitation. But she felt it was too hard to refuse him. She looked at the time and added, "it's so late. The elder should have fallen asleep."

"they couldn't fall asleep in the first 30 years, and they can't fall asleep in the following 30 years. Grandparents both went to bed late and got up early. But you are tired, let's go back and have a good rest. " Soren didn't force her. She didn't sleep well. She got better a few days ago, but she couldn't fall asleep because of that night.

After they got home, they washed up. Elsa was reading a book on the bedside table while Soren went to the next door. Elsa was uncertain about love. Should she ask him what he was doing to show her concern? Time passed when she hesitated.

While she was thinking about this, there came a towel from the other side of the room. The man handed the towel to her and said, "listen, Nicole, let's go to take a bath."

Wearing a pair of slippers, she followed him and said, "we both took a shower."

"You didn't sleep well last night, so we take a foot bath will feel better." Soren led her into the bathroom and pressed her on a stool.

Elsa heard that before, but she didn't take it seriously because it was strange to do this in summer. But since she had been arranged by Soren, it would be nice for her to take a foot bath.

The water was a little hotter than usual, so she tested for several times before she put it in. It turned out that he was busy with preparing this just now. After marrying him, she did nothing for him, and enjoyed a lot of his convenience. She could not help but say, "next time I can do it myself. You are usually very busy, you should have a relaxed weekend."

"It's good to take care of my wife." Soren gave an order. He crouched down and held her feet in his hands.

Elsa's heart beat faster than usual. It was hard to tell whether it was because of his action or his words. She gently clenched her fist and wanted to bite her fingernails. Her fingernails were at the edge of her mouth. The light fragrance reminded her, and she put them down. Seeing the beautiful and pleasing pink fingertips, she was reluctant to bite them.

She tried to withdraw her foot, but was stopped by Soren. Elsa's face turned red and she almost fell down from the chair. Soren grabbed her arm quickly. He suddenly realized that she didn't like the feeling of itch and her feet was the most itchy part on her body. He loosened her feet, changed it into holding her ankle and helped her rub it.

Elsa felt very embarrassed. she had repeated, "I can do it myself" for several times, but he just ignored it.

Soren didn't dry her feet and take her back to the bed until the water was getting cold. Her face was as red as her feet soaked in water. Soren pinched her feet again and tried to comfort her. Elsa patted on the quilt, Soren said, "let me give you a massage. You will sleep well tonight."

"I've been sleeping well lately." Except for that night when she accidentally ate the meat. It was a good record for her.

"Because I'm here?" Soren raised his head, with a gleam in his eyes. Maybe it was a man. He was just like this. He was very good to her, obviously, straightforward and spoke the same words.

Elsa thought for a while. She felt so secure around him, so she nodded and said, "yes."

Hearing this, Soren was a little excited as a kid got his favorite candies. He continued, "sometimes you can't sleep well without me. I was worried that you might have a nightmare, so I should prepare for anything when I'm not here. "

She felt the warmth of his fingers, and he massaged her feet gently to make sure that they were suitable for her strength.

Elsa was speechless. She seemed to have trouble getting the tip of her nose. Then she continued speaking, "I had a serious problem of sleeping before, but it didn't get worse after that. In the past two years, I paid more attention on work, instead of sleeping much better. "

"But the dark circles under my eyes are getting worse." Soren listen to her. The care in his eyes was real.

"Because journalists must stay up late. You can wait for the news, but the news does not wait for you. I remember that there was a live report on a murder, a body smashing case. No one was willing to go. I'm going to take a look. The day I came back, I didn't sleep until the next morning. " Said Elsa, pretending to be relaxed. She smiled and added, "but, we've been through a lot of things. I can also make more money than others."
