Beloved Old Lover

It was late at night.

In the dim lights of the room with classical architectural design, Kevin was still quietly sipping a glass of wine.

Six years have passed and the wound in his heart still cannot be healed.

This wound was given to him by the girl he loved.

A week has passed since he met her and she has not appeared in front of him anymore.

“Emily, you are also very obedient. That’s right. Stay away from me. Don’t hang around in front of me anymore.”

Kevin said as he raised his glass of wine and drank it in one gulp.

His thin fingers gripped the glass as if he wanted to crush it.

That day, he stood behind the bars of the prison and waited patiently for her. Finally, the day he was exonerated, he immediately called her to find her, but he could not contact her.

He only knew that she had gone abroad to study through the words of a classmate.

After he put the glass back on the table, he staggered back to the bed and lay down, closing his eyes.

At this moment, Emily was sitting motionless on the balcony of the villa and looking out at the vast streets.

The yellow lights kept flickering because of the tears that were about to flow.

Finally, sad tears also fell, drenching the invitation card in her hand.

Just now, she went to her father’s room to refuse to pursue Kevin after many days of tormenting thoughts, but when she saw him constantly coughing and showing fatigue, she quietly returned.

The night ended, the day came, and then gradually turned to the afternoon. Emily quickly put on makeup and prepared to go to the party.

For the five years she lived in country A, she studied at the same time two majors: business and fashion design. Therefore, even though the dress is simple, when its owner creates a few highlights, it immediately becomes attractive.

The company lost business, James was forced to cut personnel and unnecessary expenses, and the car was also sold, leaving only one.

Today, he visited an old friend in the province and didn’t come back in time, so she had to take a taxi to the party.

“Miss. Emily.”

A slightly familiar male voice spoke, causing Emily to turn her head to look.

She recognized the guy who had helped her. Beside him was a beautiful girl who was intimately holding his hand.

“Hello, Mr. Daniel.”

The elegant gesture of the girl opposite and the elegant dress on her body made Daniel fascinated to watch.

He never thought of a simple dress with a few embellishments that would make the whole look extremely eye-catching.

“Ah, this is Emma, my assistant. And this is Emily, my new friend.”

After Daniel’s introduction, the two girls immediately shook hands to get to know each other and then walked together into the main hall, where the party was about to take place.

The moment the three of them passed the threshold, Kevin was almost motionless when he saw his ex-lover and his younger brother happily laughing and talking together.

Brian stood next to Kevin to invite him to drink but did not pay attention.

When Brian turned around, he could only see the backs of Daniel and the two girls, so he hurriedly approached and said hello.

“Oh, the deputy general director accompanied two beauties.”

Brian’s voice was extremely excited, but when he saw Emily’s beautiful face, he immediately lowered his voice because he was too surprised.

He didn’t expect that he would see her here after six years apart.

“Emily, is that you? You… since when did you come back to the country?” Brian stuttered.

“I’ve only been home for a week. I attended the party on behalf of my father.” She replied.

Because Brian was too emotional, he just nodded and then invited the three guests to eat and drink freely and he planned to ask Emily more when he had time.

At this moment, the MC is also respectfully greeting the guests and then introducing the owner of the party to the stage to say a few words.

The moment everyone entered the party, Daniel had to go around greeting partners and senior officials. And Emma stayed by Emily’s side as her boss told her.

Daniel was afraid that Emily would be lonely and lost because he knew she had just returned from abroad after six years and she only knew Brian, but now the deputy general director of GE Group was also busy welcoming guests.

“It’s almost time to dance.” Emma spoke up when she saw Daniel passing through the crowd to return to his old place.

“I came alone, so I’ll just sit here.” Emily shyly replied.

“Can I invite you to be my dance partner?”

The very polite suggestion from the general manager Kevin made both Emily and Emma stunned because they were quite surprised.

From the moment the party started, although Emily tried to look for Kevin to approach him, she couldn’t find him.

She did not expect him to appear like a ghost like this.

“Of course, you can. I am very honored.”

While Kevin held Emily’s hand and joined the crowd of couples hugging each other’s waists, Emma still couldn’t guess what was happening.

She was surprised because the general manager of Unicons Group, who is famous for being cold, doesn’t like women, but now actively flirts with a girl.

Every time he attended a party and when it was time to dance, he just sat next to the funny old guests and watched, unless the owner of the party invited him, he danced.

However, their gestures look like they’ve known each other since their past lives.

“Where is Emily?” Daniel asked.

“Mr. Kevin was alone, so he invited her to dance with him.” Emma pointed to the crowd and answered.

“Today, the storm will probably destroy the house. Let’s go.”

Daniel joked and grabbed Emma’s hand and pulled her towards the crowd, joining the gentle waltz next to Brian and Jennifer.

Although the second young master of Unicons Group does not attend parties much, he still keeps up with the pace of life in each environment and situation.

Because of that, Emma admires him so much and she is assured of being by his side throughout the years.

While everyone was dancing happily, Emily struggled to keep up with Kevin’s dance moves.

The wound on her foot has pulled the young skin but has not completely healed yet.

Every time she remembered that day, she just wanted to step on his feet so he could understand the pain.

In the flickering light of candles and melodious melodies surrounding them, Kevin used force to hug Emily’s small waist, pulling her close to his face and whispering.

“Emily, your face is also really thick. Do you think you can still seduce me after you’ve abandoned me?”

“Aren’t you hugging me? You chose me to be your dance partner, not the other girls, right?” Emily curled her lips and asked.

“Don’t be too confident about yourself. I’m just worried that you’ll seduce my little brother.” Kevin smiled scornfully.

“Then try to hug me tight. If you let go of me, I will seduce your brother.”

The melodious voice full of charm of the old lover made Kevin not familiar at all. His brows furrowed and his face turned to a scowl.

In contrast to him, Emily’s pink lips showed a bright smile. Looks like she caught his weakness already.

It turned out that the guy was the second young master of Unicons Group and his younger brother.

If she kept pretending to cling to Daniel, he would run over and separate the two of them.

The moment the music became mellow and the couples only hugged and moved slowly, Emily could smell the strange masculine scent of the man she used to be so close to.

Probably because he used perfume.

“Since when have you known Daniel?”

Kevin lowered his face close to Emily’s face and asked softly, making everyone think he was kissing her.

The scent of the young girl in the past remained unchanged, causing many ancient emotions to rush back like a tidal wave beating in his heart.

“On the day you left me on the street.”

Although Emily smiled brightly, how could Kevin not realize how much self-pity in that smile?

She left him alone for five years, so now that he left her, she has no right to blame him.

Finally, the music stopped, and the lights came back on, illuminating the glittering eyes that had engulfed his life in the sea of hatred.

Kevin let go of Emily’s hand and then turned his back and walked straight.

That day, he could only drive a part of the road when he had to pull over to the side of the road because he felt his heart hurt so much that he couldn’t stand it.

When he looked at the back seat, he saw blood on the floor mats and remembered her complaint of foot pain, so he turned the car around.

However, when he got there, she was gone.

He asked the old beggar and learned that she was carried to the car by a young and rich man. He did not expect that person to be Daniel.

A few days ago, he borrowed his brother’s car to go to the construction site, and he discovered there was blood on the floor mats, but he did not know it was her blood.

Because Kevin just let go of a dance partner, he immediately disappeared, so both Daniel and Emma rushed to the beautiful girl’s side.

“Oh my, this guy. Why didn’t he say anything and leave? Miss Emily, don’t pay attention. My brother’s illness is not mild.” Daniel hesitated to speak.

“Looks like he got a phone call.” She quickly said to help herself not to be embarrassed.

“Recently, I heard Mr. Brian talk, then I know you are the heir of the Wine Company. We met in such a hurry that I didn’t have time to introduce myself properly. I am the deputy general director of Unicons corporation.” Daniel solemnly extended his hand.

“Yes, Mr. Daniel, next time, please help me more.”

Emily’s handshake and a joke made Daniel laugh, but the girl next to him was sad because she realized something was strange.

Although he has a warmer and more friendly personality than Kevin, he has never been too close to women. Besides, this girl was a stranger he had just met.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
