Rules of Engagement Chapter 167 I Like Her So Much

Seeing that Elsa picked it up, Winona showed a loving smile and said to Elsa, "Look, this is what Ren
looked like when he was a child. He was very handsome, wasn't he? When I first saw him, I liked him
very much. At that time, I really wanted to hug my dear grandson."

Thinking of that time, Winona wore a wrinkled smile on her face. She didn't know if Soren still
remembered it or not. Anyway, she still remembered that when she went to hug Soren, he was only a
three year old child. He stood quietly with a cunning smile. When she went over, he ran faster than a
rabbit. She missed his hug and fell hard. Because of this, Fred almost hit Soren. It was the first time
that Soren came back and saw his father, and they had a bad impression on each other.

Winona was so scared that she didn't dare to show her love to him easily. She was afraid that it would
make her son and grandson unhappy.

Winona held the photo and stroked the child's face with indescribable love.

Soren sat beside the old woman slowly. Although he didn't say anything, his action showed a lot of
meaning. Winona was very happy, but she suddenly burst into tears. She held Soren's hand and said,
"Ren, I..."

"Grandma, Ren understands your kindness," said Elsa softly, putting her hand on Soren's finger.

"Ren was so handsome when he was a child. When Susie brought him here, he was eloquent and
lovable. As soon as Susie left, he became very silent. No matter what the adult said, he did not like to
speak. It was his father who scared him. When we saw that he didn't say anything, we were very
worried. It happened that the boy from the Qiao family was a few years older. When he heard that there
was a child at home, he came over to play. He gave him this toy and the machine gun and Ren was
very happy, but he still didn't like to talk. We asked him to take a family photo, but he refused." As
Winona said, she pouted lovingly, "His stubborn temper is really the same as that of men from the
Wang family."



At this moment, Soren finally spoke, "Grandma, didn't you say that I didn't want to take photos? Didn't
you take this photo the first time I came here?"

Winona was stunned by his words. It seemed that what she said for Fred just now was also not true.
After thinking for a while, she patted her head and said, "I remember it. It's like this. Don't refuse to
listen to me."

"Just say it. I've heard a lot. It doesn't matter," said Soren.

"Speaking of this photo, I have to mention the baby in this photo. As you know, after your father
couldn't make your stepmother pregnant, your stepmother had the idea of adopting a child. Didn't she
transfer back to work later? She was in the hospital. At that time, someone had a child and didn't want
it. She left it in the bathroom. She found it and thought it was fate. She wanted to adopt this child who
had lost his parents, so she took him back home. At that time, Ren stayed at home unhappily, didn't
say anything, and didn't eat well. He was congenial to the child who was brought back. He liked the
child very much as soon as he saw him. When the child was brought back, he couldn't help crying.
When he was with Ren, he stopped crying. He didn't even open his eyes. He just smiled and didn't cry
even when he was sucking and changing diapers. Originally, Ren wanted to leave and look for his
mother. But he was congenial to this child. The two children, one elder and one younger, were chatting
together. We all did not know what they were talking. The baby couldn't speak yet, but Ren could play
with him for a long time." Winona said sadly, "It's also because the atmosphere in this house was not
good. If it was good, Ren was willing to be close to everyone, and he wouldn't play with a little baby."

Soren asked softly, "So you took this photo?"

"Yes, I asked you to take the family photo, but you didn't agree. You said you wanted to take the photo
with the baby. So I have this photo."

Soren nodded and said nothing else.



Elsa felt it strange and asked, "Grandma, what about this child?"

Winona thought for a while and said, "Your father doesn't agree to adopt this child. He said that it's
enough to have Ren alone, and his love can only be given to Ren. Your stepmother had no choice but
to send the child away. It was also because Ren was reluctant to leave the baby, they let the child stay
for a few more days. When he took the child away, Ren cried. That baby is also a poor child."

Both Soren and Elsa sighed. All these stories sounded very ordinary, but when it happened to them
and their families, it made people feel so sad and helpless.

In fact, Ada had a hard time in this matter.

Winona didn't say anything, but Soren and Elsa could tell her emotion.

Soren looked at the picture of himself and the baby. No wonder he felt so familiar with the baby when
he accidentally saw the picture last time. He didn't remember who the baby was. It turned out that there
was such a story in it.

After sitting for a long time, everyone was immersed in such thoughts, and no one spoke for a long
time. When they stood up and were about to leave, it was already very late in the night. Winona
couldn't help saying, "Ren's room is clean. It's so late. Stay here for one night."

"No, thanks. Good night," Soren refused.

In fact, over the years, Susie didn't say anything. His grandparents didn't mention much about the past,
but he could feel something. During the three days and three nights when Susie gave birth to the baby
in the hospital, no one knew what she was thinking about. Did she think of Fred's ruthlessness and
disbelief, Walter's unreasonable insults and humiliations, class and political injustice to ordinary people,
or her firm determination to love?



However, she survived with her greatest perseverance and belief. When she gave Soren life, he could
no longer accept the kindness of the Wang family. Because he once felt that accepting the kindness of
the Wang family was a betrayal of his mother's previous efforts and firm belief.

But in this accident, everyone had their own standpoint, and they all had their own values of right and
wrong. It was difficult to make a different choice if they really put themselves in everyone's position.
Walter was influenced by the ideas of the old faction and still maintained a simple life. Winona had no
idea. She didn't want to disobey her husband and didn't want to hurt her son. Ada agreed with
everything that had been arranged by the leader. Fred and Susie firmly believed in love but were
affected by the viewing environment.

Life was a hard struggle. Choosing the other or choosing this, one had to make an incomparably great
determination and go through the difficulty of making a choice.

Soren and Elsa went downstairs to the door. Walter, who had already lain down because of his physical
condition, also stood up and silently sent the two of them to the door with his crutch. Winona followed
them. Suddenly, Soren turned around and asked, "Grandma, where is that child? I mean the baby in
the photo?"

"Well. I just heard from your stepmother that he was sent out. But I don't know where he is and what's
going on," Winona said after thinking for a while.

"Okay." Soren stopped asking.

As they walked on together, Elsa knew that Soren was in a bad mood. Anyone who heard such a story
would not be in a good mood. Her heart was also blocked by his sadness. She walked a little later and
moved forward under his guidance. His tall and strong back appeared in her eyes, which was similar to
the loneliness of Fred in the rain that night.



Elsa was so sad that she didn't know how to comfort him. She ran two steps forward, opened her arms
and held him tightly in the quiet morning. Perhaps this little concern could become a trace of warmth in
his heart.

Soren also stretched out his hands and held her in his arms. It was true that bad things happened in
one's life and it was hard to let outsiders understand. Sometimes it was not that he didn't want to say,
but even in the face of the closest people, he couldn't describe the most complicated feelings in his
heart with words.

Such silent comfort was what he needed most at the moment.

They hugged each other for a long time before they released each other. They snuggled into the car
and slowly drove back home.

Neither of them spoke, but the silence didn't make the atmosphere more awkward. On the contrary,
they had a tacit understanding, so it didn't matter whether they spoke or not.

They kept silent since they knew each other's feelings and love for each other. After taking a shower,
they lay in the quilt and snuggled up to each other. Like a child, Soren buried his head in her thin
shoulder to find a familiar feeling. Then he slowly calmed down from tonight's emotional turmoil and fell
asleep.

This was the first time that Soren got up late than Elsa. He had always been self-discipline and he
missed the time to get up for the first time. When he woke up, he found that Elsa had made coffee and
milk. The air was filled with the smell of beef pie.

Soren loved eating meat so much that he had to eat it every meal. In the early morning, Elsa got up
early and bought it back. She had planned to let him sleep a little longer, but she didn't expect that he
would stand up as soon as he smelled the fragrance. He wore casual trousers and a camouflage T-
shirt, looking handsome and somewhat serious. Elsa looked at him with a smile, "Ren, good morning."



"Good morning." He walked over. The sun was shining brightly in the room. Her hair was coated with a
faint halo in the back light. Her sweet smile made him feel better. "What did you
buy?"
