"Elizabeth" looked at the girl with a light gold and waist standing beside Adele. Although George was in a complicated mood, he still spoke up to him first. After all, no matter what the reason, George could not make any rude moves to the girl in front of him.
"Eli." However, George's greeting was only half-time, and Elizabeth in front of him was interrupted softly, "Call me Ellie, the name Isabella sounds so unfamiliar."
"What?" Although he had made some mental preparations before, when he heard Elizabeth say this, George was still stunned. He really didn't expect that this girl who had reduced contact since he chose to leave the family and started his own business. In recent years, he has never seen her before, but now she still acts so close to him.
George, who knew the other party's personality, knew very well that there were definitely only a handful of people who could be called "Eli" by her. In this world, except for her few direct family members, it seemed that only he, an "outsider", could call her like this.
But now, the other party still insisted on asking him to call the nickname Ellie. Does it mean that she still has a good impression of herself? George secretly speculated about the girl's thoughts in his heart. Time forgot to give the other party a clear reply, which made the atmosphere at the scene cold instantly.
Despite his two lives, George was quite passive and dull in his personal emotions no matter where he was. Therefore, even though Elizabeth's meaning was expressed so clearly, he still did not respond immediately.
"I said, call me Ellie." Seeing that George had not responded for a long time, the girl with a gentle smile looked straight into George's eyes. Although the eyes were filled with a fiery passion, the words said showed a sense of determination. "Otherwise, the meeting will end here. I am not interested in having dinner with a fool who actually called me Elizabeth. Adele, do you think this is the case?"
"That's right, brother. Sister Eli is not an outsider. It's too much for you to call her Elizabeth. You know, when I went to study in the United States, Sister Eli took me to the campus I am familiar with and life there." Hearing the best friend and her future sister-in-law said this, Adele knew in her heart that the other party was just putting pressure on her wooden brother, but she could never just ignore it. So Adele enthusiastically hugged Elizabeth's arm, and at the same time winked at George, signaling him to respond quickly. If it's brother, you don't speak, then your sister will be furious!
"Okay, Ellie, this time it's my fault." Notice the look of her sister, George, who had just come back from her thoughts, quickly bowed his head to the other party to admit his mistake, "I just accidentally thought of something, and I forgot the surrounding environment. I hope Ellie, you don't treat it."
"Yeah." Seeing George finally responding, Elizabeth's expression suddenly turned from yin to Qingqing, and his tone became softer. He responded gently, and then said in Adele's ear in a low voice, "Sure enough, your brother is still the same, and he is simply a big piece of wood in terms of personal emotions. Although it is reassuring, it is really a headache."
"Who said no?" Adele nodded slightly in agreement with Ellie's evaluation, "I really don't know how my brother's brain is. He is very smart in other things, but he is so slow to have feelings. If he could be a little more active on this, you and I wouldn't have to spend so much effort to formulate the plan today."
Brother, you big wood! Ellie's meaning has been so clear, you are even showing such a stupid face, I really convinced you! Thinking of this, Adele pulled Elizabeth intimately towards the restaurant, and turned around and glared at George's eyes, making the latter confused.
The chef responsible for making this dinner was Gordon Ramsey. He originally wanted to invite the famous Michelin three-star chef to prepare this kind of private dinner, but since George and Ramsey had a good personal relationship, after hearing Adele's request, Ramsey immediately agreed and expressed his willingness to help his old friend.
You know, the Hell Kitchen program, which made Ramsey famous and made his chef career peak, was successfully aired with George's advice and support. Therefore, for Ramsey, who came from a working family and was extremely loyal, he naturally had to help with this little busy.
Although London is not without top restaurants, with George's current financial resources and status, it is obviously safer and more casual to eat at home if he goes to a restaurant. After all, if George and Elizabeth appeared in a restaurant in London to eat, it would probably not take a night. All British nobles would know that the number one heir of the Nelson family was interested in marrying the eldest daughter of the Hood family.
Therefore, in order to avoid attracting attention and intentional damage from interested people, Adele specially chose the meeting place in George's residence to avoid any unexpected situations.
After enjoying the delicious meal made by Ramsey himself, after Adele's continuous efforts and hints, George finally mustered up the courage and, with a nervous mood, proposed to Elizabeth to stay here on the grounds that it was too late, and to spend Christmas Eve with himself and Adele tomorrow at Nelson Manor.
What surprised George was that after hearing his proposal, Elizabeth was just silent for a while with a blushing face, then nodded heavily and agreed to his request!
An unmarried woman agreed to stay alone in the residence of an adult man. Even though this residence is a luxury house of yi, there are enough rooms for guests to live in, it is enough to show a lot of things. Even if he is like George in terms of emotions, he finally understood Elizabeth's feelings at this time.
"Congratulations, brother." Seeing that his plan was successfully completed, Adele was relieved and walked up to pat George on the shoulder with a smile, "It seems that it won't take long to get an extra sister-in-law."
I'll go, when did it become so easy to chase a girl? George was happy about the situation in front of him and felt a little confused.
George admitted that he had always had a good impression of Ellie, and he could vaguely feel the latter's feelings for him. If he hadn't left the family because of disagreement of ideas and became a negative case in the British aristocratic circle, he would have really probably gone to Stanley Hood to propose marriage when Ellie turned 18 two years ago. But George did not expect that until now, the relationship between him and Ellie has not only not faded as he had imagined, as time went by, but instead tends to become increasingly fierce!
George didn't think about it. Elizabeth was his loyal fan and follower since he was a child. It was easy to have feelings for him after spending a long time together. Although George later left the family and gradually broke off contact with Elizabeth, and later he avoided him, Elizabeth's worldview and values had been almost transformed by George at that time, and he further clarified his feelings and feelings. It was impossible to easily fade it in just a few years.
In this way, the two who had initially determined their relationship spent a safe and sound night in their respective rooms. Those who thought they would have something good tonight could take a break, and George did nothing but sleeping this night. Moreover, there would be no content in this book that could lead to the book being caught by the river crab.
The next morning, after arriving with Adele, George drove to Tottenham Hotspur's training base and continued to prepare for the 18th round of the British League between the two days later and Portsmouth.
As Christmas approaches and tonight is Christmas Eve that Westerners attach great importance to, today's training lasted only for a morning, so George rationally announced the end of the training, allowing players to go home early to reunite with their families.
However, what George did not expect was that after hearing this order, the players did not disperse in an instant as he imagined, but instead sluggishly on the sidelines, as if waiting for something good to happen.
"Hehe, boss, can you tell me what you did when you left so early yesterday? We are all very curious." Just when George was surprised, Ronaldo appeared in front of George with a smile and asked everyone's most concerned question.
"Chris, are you itchy?" Looking at the players around you who pretended to be busy packing things and going home, but in fact they were all standing with their ears to listen to him. George immediately understood what the scene was going on in front of him, so he grabbed Ronaldo's ear and asked without a smile, "Do you want me to loosen your bones? Some things are not something you should ask about."
George knew that before the formal engagement, the relationship between him and Elizabeth still needed to be kept secret to a certain extent. After all, the nobles were not ironclad. If the news reached the ears of those who wanted to use George's marriage to make profits for themselves, they might have made some trouble.
Although George is not afraid of others making trouble, it is better to have less trouble than more things. It is better to have less trouble.
"Hey hey? Boss, please let go! I'm just curious, I have no other meaning, it hurts."
"You dare to inquire about my private affairs, are you brave? Do you need to add more to you today and come to the team competition in the afternoon?" Yi grabbed Ronaldo's ear with his hand, and George looked up at the other players around the circle with gloating. "If there are still people who haven't left the training ground when I count, then these people will stay with Chris and get more training until the training base is closed."
When they saw the smiley expression on George's face and the false words they said, the players present suddenly scattered and had a certain understanding of their coach's character. They knew very well that George was definitely not joking with them!
"Tsk, it seems that I'm not stupid yet." Seeing the player leaving quickly, George sighed regretfully and planned to count the numbers directly, and then catch the unlucky guys and let them stay here for further practice.
