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.

On the other side, Elsa slapped Ron across the face. "Ron Qin, that's enough! Why didn't you tell me earlier if you really like Janie? Do you think you can make Janie happy in this situation? How can she explain it to Mr. Maurice? Do you think you are doing this for her good? You suddenly appear, and at the wrong time, you think you have given her a chance to choose. You are giving her the difficult problem of choice, don't you know?"

"I'm sorry, sister in law." Ron lowered his head in front of Elsa.

"You didn't do anything wrong to me. You're sorry for Janie. If you really break up with Chloe, and you won't have any entanglement in the future. In this way, you can make sure that you can make Janie happy. You should solve this problem by yourself instead of making Janie embarrassed!"

Soren held her hand and said, "Elsa, don't be angry. Ron, what are you doing?"

Ron shook his head. He suddenly realized that he didn't know what he had done. When he saw that Jane was snuggling up to Mr. Maurice, his heart ached a little. He blurted out, "I want to marry Jane."

Soren looked at him in surprise, and even Elsa was surprised and unbelievable. Soren had never known what had happened between him and Jane. He asked, "Do you have a fever? Are you okay? What are you doing with Chloe?"

"I have broken up with Chloe." Ron smiled bitterly, saying, "We broke up."

"I think you must have lost your mind because of love. What does it have to do with Jane that you broke up with Chloe? Can you be happier if you come here to destroy others' relationship?" Soren punched him, "Wake up!"

However, Ron kept looking at the direction of Jane and said, "No, I didn't lose my mind. Seven years ago, when I went to the school to look for Chloe to break up with her, I liked Jane. Now when I see her again, I find that my feelings in the past haven't changed at all."

Soren was even more confused. Only Elsa felt sad when she heard this. "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Where did you go a few years ago?"

"I... That year, I was going to break up with Chloe and confess my love to Jane. But later, something happened and made Chloe lose her virginity because of me. I couldn't be an irresponsible man, so I maintained the relationship with Chloe. It was an accident. I lost the courage to go to find Jane again. I thought that I could live on with Chloe with my responsibility, so I had been with her without any distraction and never mentioned Jane again. Until I met Jane again, I didn't think about what would happen next. But you have seen how I get along with Chloe. In the past few years, I have been very tired and not happy at all. When I knew that Jane was going to get married, all the things in the past few years were lingering in my mind. I found that only in a few months when Jane was with me, when I could see her drinking coffee in the assistant room, giggling, working overtime and doing exercises. At that time... I am the one who is happy..." Ron said painfully and helplessly.

Noticing something from his words, Elsa asked in surprise, "When did you say that Chloe lost her virginity to you?"

Ron shook his head and smiled bitterly. "That was a long time ago. We both drank a little, which caused the accident. I was going to break up with her, but she was still a student. I couldn't bear to see such a thing happen to her. I said that I would be responsible for her. I have always been serious with her and talked about marriage with her. If she hadn't been so willful, I might have married her and had a child..."

Elsa clenched her fists. Some facts flashed through her mind at once, which made her think a lot. She changed her tone in surprise. "Ron Qin, that person was not Chloe! She was not Chloe!"

"What are you talking about?" Soren was surprised by Elsa's reaction. He held her in his arms and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Seven years ago, the girl who lost her virginity to Ron was not Chloe! Not at all!" For a moment, Elsa didn't know what to do. She reached out to grab Ron and said, "Ron, you go to find Jane! You go there! Go ahead!"

As the saying goes, lookers on see more than players. Ron was stunned by Elsa's reaction, while Elsa's care was chaotic. For a moment, she didn't know what to say. Only Soren, who was an outsider, immediately understood what was going on. He asked doubtfully, "Elsa, do you mean that the girl who was drunk with Ron that night was not Chloe, but Jane?"

Soren asked straightforwardly. At this time, Elsa had no time to care about Jane's warnings and said, "Yes! Yes! Yes! Ron, it's not too late to make it clear to Jane now. It's still not too late!"

Although Soren didn't know the reason, he suddenly thought of another key point. "You mean... Is little Bun Ron's child?"

Ron was stunned. Seeing that Mr. Maurice and Jane were going to leave the Bureau of Civil Affairs with Mrs. Sophia, he rushed to Jane under the push of Elsa. Pissed off, Jane turned around and walked forward. Mr. Maurice glanced at Ron and followed behind Jane.
