Love Comes To Me
Chapter 1400: Is this a retreat to an advance.

"Mr. Edgar, can you hold back a little, please?"

Said the makeup artist half seriously and half jokingly as she helped Edwina apply her makeup.

She had come to call them for a photo shoot, but when she walked in, she saw that the makeup on Edwina's lips was completely gone. Edwina was too shy to look at her and knew what had happened.

It was a minor matter to fix her makeup, but if her lips were swollen, the whole look wouldn't look right.

"Can't I be moved by the way you made her look so beautiful?" asked Edgar with a rather serious look on his face.

"Edgar!" Edwina looked at him in embarrassment.

The makeup artist laughed out loud, "It's not that I made Ms. Edwina look pretty, it's that she is pretty."

Edgar nodded approvingly, "You're right. For that, I will give you full marks for your service today."

"Thank you Mr. Edgar."

Edwina, who was listening to their conversation, blushed.

...

The photographer had to come up with all sorts of ideas to make the photos turn out well, but it was a lot of work for Edwina and Edgar.

The schedule was very tight, so this time we didn't do the photos on location, but only in the studio, and it took three to four hours.

Edwina reached up and patted his cheek, feeling his face harden with laughter.

"It's been hard work." Edgar gave her a heartfelt hug.

"With you it hasn't been hard." Edwina smiled at him.

"Change your clothes and let's go home."

Edwina nodded, "Okay."

Edgar intended to take her back to The Khan Family, but Edwina refused.

"I'm not going to bother my aunt and uncle, and Bonnie is waiting for me at home."

Mind you, the most important thing was that they were still sweethearts, and it always seemed a little wrong for her to go to The Khan Family too often. Edgar saw what she was thinking and smiled helplessly, "The Khan family will be your home from now on, no need to be so formal and careful." "That's for later, not now."

Edwina's answer was so direct that Edgar was dumbfounded and could only shake his head and laugh.

Never mind, let's hear her out.

What she says is what she will do.

Edgar saw through the windshield that the lights were on in his apartment and raised his eyebrows, saying, "I haven't seen Bonnie for a few days and I miss it." Edwina gave him a nasty look, "If you want to come up, just say so, is it necessary to go all the way around?"

"I was afraid you wouldn't agree, weren't you?". Edgar turned his head and looked at her with a wry smile. "You're my boyfriend, how could I disagree?".

What was the fear of her disapproval? It was clear she had resented his refusal to return to The Khan Family with him earlier and was deliberately teasing him. "I'm not coming up." Edgar laughed and rubbed her head. "Come back to The Khan Family with me tomorrow night and have dinner with Mom and Dad." This time, Edwina agreed, "Okay."

"And bring Bonnie with you."

"Okay?" Edwina was afraid her parents wouldn't like it.

"Sure, my parents love kids."

"Okay."

Edgar kissed her on the lips, reluctance written in his eyes. "I really don't want to part with you."

Edwina smiled, "It will only be a dozen hours before we see each other."

"A dozen hours?" Edgar touched her cheek and whispered, "I can't stand an hour."

"Well, don't be such an idiot. I'm getting out of the car."

Edwina opened the door and stepped out, motioned for him to leave and turned around to go into the building.

Edgar leaned back in his chair, the corners of his mouth lifting involuntarily; in a few days, she would be his fiance.

He couldn't wait for that day to come.

Just then, the phone suddenly rang.

It was Edwina.

She picked it up, "What's wrong?"

"Be careful coming back." Edwina said on the other end of the line.

"Okay."

There was silence.

Edgar was in no hurry and waited patiently.

After a while, Edwina's voice rang again, "I don't want to part with you either."

At that, Edgar burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at?" Edwina's slightly annoyed voice reached his ears.

"You're welcome. You must be tired today, get some rest soon."

"Good. You too."

After hanging up the phone, Edgar looked at the apartment where Edwina lived and started the car to leave.

...

Hearing that Edgar and Edwina were getting engaged, Marcos fell silent.

"What's wrong?" asked Paulina suspiciously.

"Do you want to leave?" asked Marcos instead of answering.

Paulina nodded, "It's my cousin's happy event, I definitely want to go. But..."

She twisted her words around, "If you don't agree, it's okay if I don't go."

Marcos raised an eyebrow, "You're backing out?"

Oh, no!

I had seen that coming.

Paulina averted her gaze, not daring to look at him.

Marcos was silent for a moment, "... go if you want to."

At that, Paulina's face was happy, "Do you agree?".

"I'll go with you."

"And your work?" He had only recently rejoined the company and she feared he would interfere with her work. "There's Alvaro."

Not having investigated who had tried to do her wrong the last time, Marcos would not feel comfortable letting her go to Kyoto alone. "My brother-in-law wants us all to go as a family."

A family that includes Alvaro.

"Bonita is pregnant and the baby is too small to be tossed around. So Alvaro staying with her is only fair."

"Why didn't I come up with this?" Paulina narrowed her eyes at him, "Did you have this planned from the beginning?"

Marcos said "Yes" and said nothing more.

"Now that you've said yes, I'll go ask mom and dad if they're going."

With that, Paulina walked out, leaving Marcos alone in the room.

He stood for a moment before turning to the window and calling Alfredo to send some more men to protect Paulina.

He hoped everything would go well on this trip to Kyoto.

Mr. Juan and Mrs. Gloria were congratulated and delighted to hear that Edgar was getting engaged, and without saying a word, they promised to be present at the engagement.

In order not to rush the engagement, the Marcoses left a day early.

The trip was smooth and uneventful.

It was almost dark when they finally reached The Khan family.

"Congratulations."

Mr. Juan and Mrs. Gloria said goodbye as soon as they saw Baggott and Dulce.

It was a happy occasion.

Dulce couldn't stop smiling, even the tips of her eyebrows were tinged with joy, "Thank you, thank you."

"Grandparents!" Esteban and Sweety called in brittle voices.

"What a good boy." Baggott smiled and patted their little heads.

When they entered the house, Paulina looked around and asked, "Where's Cousin?"

"He's gone to Edwina's." replied Dulce.

Paulina couldn't help but smile and tease, "They're getting engaged tomorrow and can't be separated even for one night?".

At that, Dulce sighed and said, half seriously, half jokingly, "People have one more daughter when they marry their daughter-in-law, why do I feel like I'm missing a son instead?" "Aren't you engaged to be married? Daughters-in-law don't get married yet." Mrs. Gloria said with a smile.

"That's right. Anyway, Edwina will be the daughter-in-law of our Khan family from now on."

Hearing this from her sister-in-law, Paulina was inexplicably thrilled.

To think that she had tried everything to stop her cousin and Edwina, but now she had accepted Edwina, which was good enough.
