Rules of Engagement novel Chapter 99

Soren held her tightly and buried his head in her shoulder, without saying anything for a long time. Elsa's heart ached, but she couldn't say anything. Holding her in his arms, Soren felt her will and intention that she tried her best to convey. Sometimes he believed that the family member he chose was more intimate than the family member he couldn't choose to bring up, which gave him more power and sense of intimacy.

Elsa's voice was choked with sobs. She held his waist and hugged him tightly.

After a long while, he let go of her and said softly, "But from today on, I'm willing to try my best..."

"Ren, don't do this for me..." Elsa felt guilty and remorseful. She only hoped that he could walk out of the shadow for himself. She wouldn't push him to do anything he disliked.

"For me too." He smiled brightly and said, "I have always been longing for a good relationship between husband and wife and a warm family. If I have a child in the future, I want him to truly feel the power of family and the love of parents without reservation. I would never transfer my burners to him or her from the very beginning. As for my father, I also want to open my heart to try to get close to him and his family, instead of always escaping from them. Escaping has never been the right way to do things. Some problems could only be solved when you bravely face them. Although it's a little difficult for me... But I believe that everything will be good, right?"

Elsa was a little shy when he mentioned the topic about family and children, but she still nodded in agreement. "Yes."

"Give them a ladder and save me from the deep well. Do you remember?" Soren crooked his index finger and hooked her nose.

It never occurred to her that he still remembered what she had said. Pursing her lips, she said with a smile, "I hope you can be really happy, Ren."

"I will. I promise." He nodded solemnly and held her hand. "Let's go. The pharmacy is about to close."

When they returned home, Blanche was preparing a hot towel for Johnson in the kitchen, but she was absent-minded for several times. When Elsa entered the door and changed her shoes, she saw her mother and asked with concern, "Is Dad asleep?"

"Yes. Your father just drank too much. " Blanche complained.

"Don't blame him. He really enjoyed himself tonight. Aren't you happy for your daughter?" Pulling her mother's sleeve, she took out the sober tea and made it for her father. "Let my father drink some when he wake up. His stomach won't be so uncomfortable when he get up in the morning."

Blanche took it over and looked at her lovely daughter. Tears flashed through her eyes. "I know. You and Soren are tired too. Go to bed," mother said softly.

"Call me if you need anything," said Elsa, a little worried.

Blanche smiled, "I didn't drink too much. Nothing will happen. But you have to get up early tomorrow morning. Go to bed quickly. Don't worry about us. "

Elsa went to the bathroom to check on her father before she came back. Seeing that her father was sound asleep, she felt relieved. After entering the room, Soren just came out of the bathroom. He was naked, with a bath towel around his waist. There was still water stains on his wheat-colored skin, and his body was full of strength and sexiness. Elsa's face flushed immediately.

With her parents around, although she knew that it was impossible to hear any sound in two rooms, she was still restrained and couldn't let go of Soren. But she didn't let go easily at ordinary times. After all, she was a girl, and her psychological feelings were far greater than her physical feelings. Because there were many things that she could understand, she was more willing to let go of herself to accept him, let go of the parts of restraint. When she took the initiative to accept him, she blushed with shyness and closed her eyes tightly.

"Zaza!" Soren called her name in a low and powerful voice.

Afraid of being heard by her parents at the most critical moment, Elsa couldn't help biting him on the shoulder and swallowing her voice. It took a long time for the feeling to dissipate. When she woke up, she realized that her legs had been wrapped around his thin waist. She quickly put them down.

Hearing Soren's chuckle in the darkness, Elsa was so shy that she grabbed the sheet with both hands. Then he kissed her lips affectionately, holding her face lovingly and intimately kissing her again.

In the morning, when she woke up, she didn't see Soren. When she got up and put on her clothes, she found that her body was not as sticky as before. When she fell asleep, Soren had helped her clean her body. She felt warm in her heart. She opened the curtain and the sunshine shone in. She squinted slightly.

Blanche had set the table and said with a smile, "Soren left early in the morning and asked you to sleep a little longer. Do you feel better? I mean your cold."

"Much better," Elsa replied. Sally felt a little embarrassed that she had overslept. She walked over to hold her mother's arm, and then loosened her grip on the bowl and chopsticks that were set for her to fill the porridge.

"She looks much better and looks good." Her mother patted her daughter on the face.

Recently, Elsa had been in good condition. As she slowly walked out of the shadow of the past, her mood began to change.

The smile was always written on the faces of the two old people. After having a simple breakfast, Blanche began to help clean the room. The mobile bed in the master bedroom had already been cleaned up by Soren and settled in the wardrobe. The two of them had been sleeping on the big bed all the time. Blanche took off all the sheets and quilt covers and cleaned them. When she saw only a pair of kissing dolls floating above the desk, she couldn't help but ask, "Zaza, where are the photos of you and Soren?"

"Oh, well. I broke the photo frame last time. I haven't bought them yet. " Elsa told a kind lie. A strange feeling flashed through her heart, but she gently clenched her fists. For this relationship, she wanted to put more confidence in it, and also wanted to trust each other and give each other more chances. "Mom, go out with me to buy a photo frame later."

"Okay. I'll put them in the washing machine. Wake your father up and ask him to help me clean the house."

At first, she wanted her father to go out with her, but Johnson didn't want to go out because of his inconvenient legs.

She walked outside with her mother and found a place to sell photo frames.

Blanche looked at both of them and said with a smile, "How about this sixteen inch one? Do you have sixteen inch photos? "

"It's too big. I only have a few small photos," Elsa said honestly. Some of the photos were not specially taken. Except for the one in the school, the rest were "masterpieces" by Wu Siting.

Yang Huifang thought for a while and said with a smile, "we'll take photos in the future. It doesn't matter. Buy more. You liked taking photos when you were a child, but when you grew up, you looked so lonely in the room. "

"Before moving here, he had a quieter life here." Thinking of the days when there was no one living in the house, she couldn't help but shake her head with a smile.

"That's right. Do you like me to have more photos? "

"I think so."

But she was a little uncertain. He must have thrown away the photos.

She had planned to put this matter aside, but she couldn't let it go anyway. It was not a good feeling to be unable to put it down.

"Then buy it first. I'll use it when I get back. If Soren doesn't like them, you can buy some others. Besides, I don't want to leave you. I have planned to take more photos of you this time." As Blanche spoke, she quickly selected several styles of photo frames.

Hearing that, Elsa felt a little sad. After work, she didn't spend much time with her parents. They could only see each other two or three times a year, and each time they could only see each other for a few days at most. Thinking of how long a person's life could be, the time she spent with her parents was really short. The guilt and helplessness in her heart could not be expressed in words. She nodded and said, "okay."

Her mother insisted on paying by herself and walked out with a lot of photo frames in her hands. Along the way, there were stalls and shops selling cotton candy, rice candy and fried rice. Blanche looked at this and that, and every time she looked back, she asked her daughter, "Do you want to eat this? Do you want me to buy this for you?"

Although she was a married daughter, in her mother's eyes, she was always the little girl who followed behind her clothes and waited for her mother to buy her delicious food. For several times, Elsa saw her mother, who was half a head shorter than her, squeeze into the crowd with grey hair to see the food. After tasting the food, she smiled and said, "This is sweet. My baby likes sweet food. I'll buy some home for her as snacks."

Half talking to Elsa and half talking to herself, Elsa couldn't help but burst into tears. But she also felt that she was too confused, so she quickly turned her head aside and secretly wiped her tears away.

With the excuse that she liked eating, she bought some food that both her mother and father liked. Holding the food in her hands, she walked slowly towards home with her mother.

When they entered the community, Blanche suddenly asked, "Zaza, will a family like Ren's give you pressure?"

This was the second time that she came to Soren's house. In the first time, she came in a hurry and thus didn't know much about the whole family of Soren. But this time, it was different. She came to know Soren and his family in a better way. Besides, Soren and Elsa were living in this community now. Judging from the quality of the cars and the quality of the whole community, it could be seen that the whole value of the community.

His grandfather used to be a powerful general in the family. His father and stepfather were both vice presidents of a well-known company in the Linchuan city. His mother's family did business in Hong Kong, not to mention that Soren himself was also a promising young man with great potentials. As for Elsa, she was just an ordinary girl without any background. Except for hard work, she was no different from other girls.
