Chapter 172 Be Each Other's Third Wheel

"I can't do it myself? Do you think that I need you to accompany me?" Susie teased with a smile. When she spoke, there was only Heather's gentle smile in her eyes.

"Uncle Heather, you are here." Seeing Heather show up, Soren and Elsa called him at the same time.

It was not until then that Susie remembered that the children were present. She blushed at what she had said just now and hid in the arms of Heather. Now she was really laughed at by the children. Soren burst into laughter. He was used to his mother's young heart, but he couldn't help smiling.

Elsa also pursed her lips and smiled. It seemed that Susie and Heather were more affectionate than young couples.

After dinner, the four of them gave up being each other's third wheel and went back to their own small families.

When Elsa came back, she ate a piece of the calcium pill she bought, and she also forced Soren to eat one. "Mom bought it specially. We have to eat it anyway. Besides, calcium pills are good for your health."

Looking at this scene, Soren's heart beat faster. He reached out and held Elsa in his arms, saying, "Zaza."

"Hm," Elsa replied in a soft voice. She breathed in the familiar good smell in his arms, and was somewhat greedy for his warmth. She reached out and held his waist tightly.

Soren held her soft and thin body tightly, and the faint emotion in his heart could not be wiped away. He felt very sorry for her. It was not her fault to get sick, but she had to bear such a big consequence. He couldn't imagine how disappointed and painful she would be. If there was anything wrong, he should bear it with her.

Obviously, Elsa sensed something wrong with his mood. She looked up into his eyes and asked, "What's wrong, Ren? Do you feel uncomfortable?"

"I'm okay. I was too happy today. I ate too much." Soren tried his best to keep calm and said as if nothing had happened.

"Your lips are bending down!" Elsa reached out to touch his thin lips.

Soren looked for the mirror with a smile, "Really? My lips curved when I lied? Last time you told me that and I felt it strange. Why didn't I know and no one told me?"

He found the mirror and looked at himself for a while. "I still don't think so."

"Then try to tell the truth." Elsa said with a smile, "Start!"

"Elsa, I love you very much." He looked at himself in the mirror and said the word "love" for the first time. It was so serious, perhaps because there was a possibility of losing, that he understood how important love was. Unconsciously, her weight had become so heavy in his heart. His eyes were full of affection. When he said this, the corners of his mouth were really raised slightly.

Elsa's heart beat faster and faster. For his love and tenderness every time, she whispered, "Ren, so do I."

Soren lowered his head and kissed her lips, saying, "So, we will never be separated."

"Well, never." Elsa responded to his passionate kiss. He was so passionate tonight that he melted her little by little with his passionate kiss, as if he was going to eat her up. But he was so gentle at the same time, just like treating a precious porcelain doll. He held her in his hand and loved her little by little, which warmed her heart.

Soren bit her ear and whispered, "Zaza, I love you."

"Ren, I love you."

Soren kissed her hair, closed his eyes, lay beside her and held her in his arms.

Soon, Elsa fell asleep. She put her hands around his waist and leaned against his chest, like a obedient koala, leaning against a big tree.

Soren could sleep as long or less as he wanted. Without sleep, he could last for seventy-two hours. He had never suffered from insomnia, but he couldn't sleep tonight no matter what. He kept awake until the dawn. This feeling of insomnia was really painful.

But he still got up and exercised for half an hour as usual in the morning. Grandpa got up early and was taking a walk. Soren accompanied him for a while before he went to buy breakfast.

When he came back, he saw that Elsa was taking a shower. In the transparent bathroom, her figure was very thin, but every line of her figure was so delicate and perfect. Soren stood there quietly for a while and didn't notice that Elsa had finished washing. Seeing that he was staring at the transparent glass, Elsa blushed a little and quickly dyed her face red. "Ren, you're back?"

"Yes. Come and have breakfast." Soren smiled and held her in his arms. Smelling the fragrance of her hair, he was absent-minded for a moment, but in the next moment, he became exceptionally firm.

When they were having breakfast, Elsa's phone rang. Seeing that it was her father's phone, the smile on her face widened. "Daddy!"

"Good girl!" It was Blanche's voice.

"Mommy!"

"Your father has something to deal with in the Linchuan City recently. Can you pick him up at that time?" Blanche said lovingly.

"Of course it's convenient! What's the matter? Mom, will you come or not? Come with dad. I'm not busy recently. I can accompany you and dad."

Blanche smiled and said, "Silly girl, I have to take care of the graduation class. I tried my best to ask for a leave, but it's too irresponsible for the children. You know, changing the teacher halfway will affect the children's mood to prepare for the examination. Besides, Chinese is the most important subject!"

Elsa was a little disappointed as she said, "All right. When will dad arrive? I'll pick him up. No, when will dad come? I'll book the air ticket for him. Mom! It won't cost me much money. I have enough money! It will take several hours by bus. How can he be comfortable?" Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

After a long while, Elsa still didn't make it through. Soren signaled her to give him the phone. He took it over and said, "Mom, I happen to have a friend driving from YC County to Linchuan City. Let dad take his car. I'll let him contact you then, okay?"

"Really? Of course it will be good if he is on the same way, but if he is not, then don't bother. We're not in a hurry," Blanche said.

Soren smiled and said, "He is indeed on the same way. At that time, dad can come here directly and Elsa doesn't have to go back and forth."

Blanche happily hung up the phone. Looking at him, Elsa said seriously, "Thank you, Ren."

"I'm also their son. I should do what I should do." Soren returned the phone to her with a smile.

Elsa was so excited that she was planning the route to take her father to travel. Soren was also happy for her. He called his friend later and asked him to send Johnson to Linchuan City.

In the afternoon, Mr. Maurice and Jane went to get the marriage certificate. They agreed to have dinner with Elsa, Soren, little Bun and Mrs. Sophia after they got the marriage certificate. Because Jane didn't

want to do anything big, she just made a simple decision and let her friends and family know it. As for Mr. Maurice, the two of them would go back to his hometown to meet his relatives and friends if he had a wedding leave.

Because Jane had little Bun, in order to take care of Mr. Maurice and little Bun, everything was simple.

It happened that Elsa and Soren had time to meet their friends at the Bureau of Civil Affairs, so they went to the Bureau of Civil Affairs happily to wait for Jane and Mr. Maurice. Mrs. Sophia was also there. She was dressed in new clothes and her hair was well combed. She stood at the door and looked at Jane and Mr. Maurice with a smile. Seeing that Elsa was here, Mrs. Sophia happily pulled her to stand beside her.

There were a lot of people, so only Jane and Mr. Maurice were in the queue. Jane was straightforward and easy-going, while Mr. Maurice was steady and experienced, rough outside and considerate inside. He was very suitable for her. Standing together, the petite Jane and the tall Mr. Maurice were well matched.

Through the glass window, Elsa saw this scene and smiled happily with Mrs. Sophia.

Just as it was about to turn to Jane and Mr. Maurice, a tall figure flashed by the corner of Elsa's eyes. Out of instinct, her eye's followed him. She saw that Ron strode into the Bureau of Civil Affairs and went straight to Jane.

Before Elsa could think about it, she pulled Soren's sleeve and said, "Ren, go ask Ron what he is going to do!"

Soren was also confused. He walked into the Bureau of Civil Affairs while talking to Elsa. As expected, Ron had come to them on purpose. As soon as he came, he stood in front of Jane and said, "Jane! You are getting married today?"

Jane didn't expect to see Ron at this time. Under such a circumstance, her heart skipped a beat. She quickly closed her eyes and said, "Yes."

"Can you wait and see?" Ron didn't know why he had such an idea when he knew that she came to get the marriage certificate. He had been very upset that he couldn't be friends with her. The last thing he wanted to see at the moment was that she appeared with another man.

Even he himself didn't know why he would rush to the scene as soon as he heard the news. He felt so painful in his heart.

"It's a deal. It can't be changed. Besides, marriage is a big deal. How can I change it so easily?" When Jane said this, she had calmed down. She was nobody to him, and he was not her Mr. Right either. She should have known this fact earlier. That was why she had made up her mind to move on.

Jane bypassed him and handed the documents to the staff with Mr. Maurice. Ron stretched out his hand and grabbed the documents. The registration clerk said angrily, "If you haven't made up your mind, stand aside first. Wait in line. Don't affect others' work. The next two."
