Love Began with the First Meeting
Chapter 1207 Extra Story 97 Of Charlie Meet His Parents

Nevertheless, he managed to take time off in the noon to have lunch with Elsa at the dining hall of Flight Media. Elsa had had an ordinary upbringing and had lived a normal day-to-day life. So, she sat at the dining hall gaping at the movie stars, directors and TV show hosts who were having lunch alongside them. It was only then that she thought about all the many benefits in working for Flight Media. The employees could take a few pictures of these famous people secretly or ask them for autographs on their photos and sell them to their fans for a huge load of money. It was a sure-shot way of earning some quick buck.

These criminal thoughts kept rolling in her head till Charlie finally finished all his work for the day. She was so obsessed in her thoughts that she didn't realize that he was standing by her side.

He bent towards her, letting their bodies touch slightly. "Are you thinking about me?" he asked in a husky voice.

"Hmm..." Elsa answered without thinking, still counting all the money in her head. Realizing that she was in some dream world, Charlie blew gently behind her ear. She jumped from the sudden sensation and saw that Charlie's handsome face was very close to hers. She blushed in an instant.

Charlie had meant to make fun of her. But when he saw her red cheeks, he had completely different thoughts in his mind. She looked like a ripe apple that was just waiting to be tasted. He could not help the urge that was taking over him. He slowly turned her around to make her face him and bent down to kiss gently on her forehead.

Elsa didn't have many shortcoming except that she was mostly unable to react to things quickly and she was often absent-minded. She was immersed in her own world most of the time. Her mind and her actions were controlled by her heart, and not her brain. And at that moment, when Charlie bent down to kiss her, she closed her eyes slowly. Seeing that, the smile at the corners of Charlie's lips spread to his eyes. Moving his face slightly away from hers, he asked, "Do you want me to kiss you?" Elsa opened her eyes abruptly. Seeing the arrogant smile on his face, she felt annoyed and embarrassed. Gritting her teeth, she lifted her foot to stamp on Charlie's, but unlike her, he was quick to react. He moved his leg in a fluid motion. "You! You are annoying!" Elsa complained angrily.

"Hm hmm..." Charlie hummed with a gentle laugh. He grabbed Elsa's hand and pulled her towards him. "Let's go," he said.

Elsa pursed her lips. She didn't want to entertain him, but when she heard his laugh, she couldn't hold onto her anger anymore.

Charlie drove to the restaurant. On the way there, Elsa kept wringing her fingers nervously. She lips were pursed into a thin line. Glancing at her, Charlie smiled secretly. He took her hand and said in a soft voice, "My dad might look like he is a cold person, but he is pretty easy to deal with." Elsa looked at him. Her eyes were full of uncertainty. Charlie turned sideways for a second to take a peek at her expression.

He knew that she was nervous. With a smile, he said, "My dad's soft spot is my mom, and Evelyn. Evelyn loves playing tricks, but she has promised that she will help you today. So, you only have one thing to do, and that is to please my mom." He looked at Elsa again and this time she seemed even more nervous. His smile deepened. "Don't worry. My mom is the most easy-going person you'll ever meet." What Charlie didn't say was that Molly had been desperately looking forward to meeting her two daughters-in-law. Molly was so envious of Eric's son, who already had many girlfriends since his high school days.

Elsa could still not rest easy. When they arrived, she followed Charlie into the restaurant. It was a traditional Chinese place. The overall decoration was historic, making a person feel like they had gone back a hundred years in time. There was a small bridge over a flowing stream. Among the pavilions, terraces and towers, a variety of blooming flowers were competing with each other to see who was the most beautiful of them all.

"Everything is so beautiful here..." Elsa said with a genuine smile. She found that her heartbeat had slowed down.

A smile played on Charlie's mouth. He was lucky to have parents who always wanted the best for their children. Brian and Molly had chosen this restaurant because the flowing water and the beautiful scenery here would naturally calm people down. Compared to most ordinary restaurants, which would be crowded at this time of day, they knew that Elsa would feel at ease in this restaurant.

"Charlie! Elsa! We're here." Charlie heard Evelyn call out as they entered. No matter how graceful the environment was, Evelyn's unrestrained voice ruined the atmosphere immediately. But nobody minded. Addison had booked the whole restaurant for themselves and there were no guest other than the five Long family members and Elsa.

Evelyn had already taken off the dress which she had worn for the false engagement. She was now wearing a knee length chiffon skirt with irregular geometric patterns. She tried her best to behave like a proper lady in front of her father, but failed miserably. Brian glanced towards the somewhat nervous Elsa. He didn't know why, but he felt like he was looking at a younger version of Molly. Although the two of them had totally different dispositions, they looked like they had the same persistence in their hearts and souls. Molly wasn't thinking about all that at all. She would accept any girl her son fell in love with. She believed in Charlie. She was a bit nervous too. She wanted to go and receive Elsa, but was afraid that Elsa would be scared off by her behavior. "Is that the Little Bun Charlie has been chasing since his childhood?" she asked.

Addison nodded with a grin, and he reminded his mother, "You'd better not get too excited. I'm pretty sure you'll end up calling her Little Bun in front of everyone."

"I won't..." Molly denied, without really listening to his words.

Addison turned to look at Brian, and saw an enigmatic smile on his father's lips. Before Addison could warn Molly again, he heard her say to Elsa, who was just being pulled in by Evelyn to her mother's side, "I'm Charlie and Evelyn's mother. So, you are the Little Bun." *00
