Rules of Engagement Chapter 169 Agree Or Not

Soren had no choice but to say, "Haven't you asked her if she agrees or not?"

"She agreed, agreed!" Mr. Maurice said in a hurry.

"It's up to you. Come here. We'll make room for you." Soren wanted to go out for fun.

"I just want you to be present, sir! Are you listening to me carefully?" Mr. Maurice was anxious.

Soren took back his joke and agreed. He felt a little funny after hanging up the phone, and so did Elsa.
She said, "I think they have a good chat through the message, so Mr. Maurice value this meeting so
much."

"They are quite complementary to each other. Just let nature take its course. Of course it's a good thing
if they can be together." Soren also smiled.

As soon as they finished breakfast, they heard someone knocking at the door. When Elsa opened the
door, Mr. Maurice stood at the door and greeted in a low voice, "Hello, sister in law!"

Elsa walked him in and asked with a smile, "When will Janie arrive?"

"She will arrive at noon. Let's have lunch together when she arrives. It's my treat." Mr. Maurice seemed
to be very happy and seemed to be very satisfied with Jane.

When Elsa went to the kitchen to get some water, Mr. Maurice followed her with a smile. Soren walked
up to him, pointed at the sofa and said, "Sit over there. Don't you think you are an outsider?"

Mr. Maurice blushed with embarrassment. "Boss, I'm already thirty-five. It's not easy to find someone I
like."



"Like? Well, but you don't need to follow your sister in law all the time." Soren asked in reply, "Besides,
who do you like? You meet one hundred girls a year. Can you like them all?"

"It's different. I really like this one!" Mr. Maurice took out his phone, on which there was a photo of
Janie. It was not clear. In the halo of light, Janie looked very beautiful with a smile. Elsa was pouring a
cup of tea and taking it out. When she saw his photo, she couldn't help asking, "Have you met each
other?"

"Yes, no, no..." Mr. Maurice was a capable assistant to Soren. But when he talked about this kind of
things, he couldn't speak fluently. "Well. I have seen her, but she has never seen me."

Elsa was even more confused. She smiled and said, "I don't understand. Did you act like a paparazzo
and go to take pictures?"

"It's... Well, didn't boss's leg get injured last time? I came to see him several times, and I met her two
times. In fact, I had a crush on her at that time, but when I saw that she had a child beside her, I
thought she had a family, so I lost this idea. I didn't expect that she was single with her child. That's
why I had the idea as soon as boss called me that night. That's exactly what I meant. I've practiced
looking at these photos for several days. I feel that the happiness of my life is all on this girl." Mr.
Maurice scratched his head with embarrassment.

Elsa was a little surprised to hear that, but she was really happy for Jane. She smiled and said, "Since
that's the case, let's seize her later. I believe that our efforts will not be wasted."

"Yes, I will never let you and boss down!" Mr. Maurice made a standard salute.

After a while, Jane arrived. She called out "Zaza" in a bright and generous voice and came to the side
of Elsa. She stuffed a lot of snacks and fruits into her hands. With a bright smile on her white and red
face, she said, "I'm here. Where is Mr. Maurice? I haven't seen him before. But I heard you say he is
easy to get along with."



Mr. Maurice's face turned red all of a sudden when he heard what she had said. He was a tall and
strong man, with no place to put his hands and feet. He wanted to sit down, but he felt it was not
appropriate. He stood up and handed the tea that Elsa had just poured to Jane. She was thirsty, so she
took it and had a sip.

Then she said gracefully, "Thank you. You must be Mr. Maurice. Although I haven't met you in person, I
feel familiar with you now. Hello."

Reaching out her hand to shake hands, Mr. Maurice rubbed his trousers with his hand behind his back,
but he didn't have the courage to stretch out his hand. Soren was so anxious that he coughed hard. Mr.
Maurice finally came back to his senses. He stretched out his hand. The word "hello" kept circling in his
mouth, but he couldn't speak it out.

Jane felt a little strange. They had a good conversation through texting. After these days of contact,
she found that Mr. Maurice was a good person, considerate and caring, and the content of the text was
also very interesting. When they talked, she also mentioned the problem of little Bun. Mr. Maurice said
at that time, "Nowadays, it's good to have a child. Just take it as we have a child together. We don't
have any brothers or sisters. It's good for us and the child that we have a baby in the future. Education
is also important. We have to pay more attention to the education of the two children in the future."

The conversation in other aspects was also very pleasant to Jane. They were not young, and they
talked about some realistic problems. Each other's ideas were quite compatible.

But why did he look reluctant when they really met?

Elsa whispered in Jane's ear. With a smile, Jane said, "Oh, it doesn't matter. Don't be nervous. I'm easy
to talk to."

Mr. Maurice was too shy to say a word. Elsa looked at Soren for help, Soren coughed heavily. Mr.
Maurice immediately stood at attention and looked around. When he saw the fruit on the tea table, he



picked up an orange, peeled it and handed it to Jane.

Jane took it and smiled, "Thank you. Mr. Maurice, we have talked for a long time. We meet to see if we
can confirm our feelings for each other. If possible, in fact, I also want to settle down as soon as
possible."

Soren and Elsa stared at Mr. Maurice at the same time. Mr. Maurice's face turned red, but he couldn't
say anything. Elsa touched her forehead and smiled at Jane, "Janie, I have something to bring to you
and aunt. Can you accompany me to the kitchen?"

"Okay," said Jane with a bright smile.

After entering the kitchen, Jane said with a bitter face, "Does it mean that he is not satisfied with seeing
my real person? If so, just say it. It's not a big deal. We can still be friends, right?"

At the same time, Elsa explained to Jane what was wrong with Mr. Maurice. When Jane's phone rang,
she received a long message from Mr. Maurice, which read, "I feel good for you and want to settle
down as soon as possible. I'm just being clumsy in expressing myself. Don't think too much."

Jane laughed. "Well, I'm a talker. I'm afraid that others won't listen to me. It's fun to think about it. I'll talk
to him myself. Well, I'll talk to him again. I can't talk to him alone, can I? I will be too tired."

"Okay, then have a good talk. Anyway, he has a good character. As for other things, it depends on
whether you like him or not. By the way, I have made some wine for you and your aunt. Take it with you
when you leave," Elsa said with a smile.

"Okay." After Jane walked out, Soren went into the kitchen, leaving them talk alone.

Elsa leaned against the door of the kitchen to listen to the sound outside. Her ears were pressed
against the door, but she didn't hear anything for a long time. Frowning, she was a little disappointed.



Deep in her heart, it was impossible for Jane to be together with Ron. How Elsa wished Jane could find
her own happiness as soon as possible. She also remembered what Jane had said to her on the night
when she married Soren. How Elsa wanted to see her put on the wedding dress and be really happy.

Although Mr. Maurice had some shortcomings, strictly speaking, he was a good person.

Seeing the innocent look on her face, Soren smiled and said, "Do you want me to open the door and
have a good look? Anyway, they won't mind."

Elsa straightened up and said, "Mr. Maurice was fine just now. Why is he so shy now? I am so
anxious."

"Let them go by themselves. It is useless that you are anxious. If they are destined to be together,
things will go smoothly. It's impossible to be together by force."

Elsa nodded slightly. Suddenly, she looked up at his black eyes and said with a smile, "Well, I believe in
your words."

Soren also smiled. Thinking of the things that the two of them had experienced, big or small, to come to
this point, thinking carefully, they did have put a lot of patience and energy, and also obtained a lot of
happiness from each other's love.

As Elsa spoke, she went to prepare something for Jane to take home. She was going to use the big jar.
She turned around and said, "Ren, help me move this on the table."

Soren smiled, rolled up his sleeves and helped her move it up. "What's so heavy?"

"Some time ago, grandma and grandpa collected a lot of grapes and brought me a lot. The grapes
can't be kept for a long time. I can't eat so much, so I made it into wine in such a big jar. Grandma and



mom drank it a few days ago and both said it was delicious. I'm going to ask Jane to bring some
home." As Elsa spoke, she opened the sealed jar. The smell of alcohol permeated in the air.

Soren looked at her admiringly, saying "Elsa, you're awesome. It smells so good."

Feeling embarrassed, Elsa smiled and said, "No, it doesn't need any technology at all. You just need to
put a layer of sugar and a layer of grapes in order, and they will be fermented for a few days before
drinking."

"Let me have a taste." Soren filled a cup with a spoon and tasted it. It tasted mellow and tasted better
than the expensive ones bought outside. He couldn't help drinking more.

Elsa grabbed his cup and said with a smile, "It has a high alcohol content. Are you sure you want to
drink more?"

"Don't worry. I won't hit my wife when I'm drunk," Soren joked.

While they were talking, Mr. Maurice suddenly pushed the kitchen door open. He was so anxious that
he was about to cry with sweat all over his face. "Boss, sister-in-law, I... I haven't said a word for such a
long time. Janie's face darkened and she was about to leave. What should I do? Help
me!"
