Beloved Old Lover

When Daniel returned home, everyone was asleep. He gently went upstairs, entered his room, closed the door, took out his love diary, and wrote in it.

From the day Emily agreed to be with him, he started writing a diary, recording his feelings for her every day. He wanted to give this gift to her on her wedding night to let her know how much he loved her.

After a quick shower, he lay down on the bed and slept until morning. The meeting at the corporation would take place at nine o’clock, so he did not go to the office early but stayed at home to talk to his parents.

When the car driven by Kevin rushed out the gate, he also began to speak.

“Engage? Why are you in such a hurry?” Matthew frowned when he heard his son discuss plans to hold an engagement ceremony.

“Because I met the right person.” He smiled and replied.

The sound of the fork hitting the plate startled Matthew and Daniel. Jessica tried to control her anger, stood up, and asked her son to follow her to her room to talk.

Matthew nodded and raised his hand to signal Daniel to follow her quickly, and he continued with his unfinished food.

Daniel was both surprised and confused because he thought that when his mother heard him say this, she would be very happy and supportive immediately. A feeling of insecurity crept into his heart.

Doesn’t Jessica like Emily? She even gave Emily expensive gifts.

“Break up with that girl. I will never accept her as the daughter-in-law of this family.” Jessica sat down on the chair and spoke seriously.

“Mom, why do you suddenly object? Don’t you like her very much?” Daniel’s eyes widened because he was so shocked.

After clearing her throat, Jessica immediately told her son that the reason was that she did not accept the girl who abandoned Kevin when he fell into the abyss, then returned to approach him just because she wanted to save her father’s company. And when he refused, she quickly turned to seducing his younger brother.

Jessica didn’t let Daniel know that Kevin’s date with Emma was just an act and he wanted to start over with Emily because she didn’t want Daniel to know that his brother was also a fool and did unusual things. She wanted to save Kevin’s face in front of his younger brother.

“Mom, it wasn’t Emily who seduced me, it was me who seduced her.” Daniel hastily explained.

“What? Why are you like that? Do you know her family is about to go bankrupt? Do you know that she agreed to be with you just because you are the second young master of the Unicons group?” She slammed her hands on the table and shouted.

“Yes, I knew everything, so I used the money and relationships I had to convince Emily to give me a chance.”

Jessica was so angry that she couldn’t speak. Her hands trembled, pointing to her son standing in front of her.

After all, what medicine did that girl give her two sons that even when they knew she was a bad person, they still jumped at her like that?

“Mom, if Emily approached my brother because she wanted money, she should have returned sooner, when his feelings for her had not yet faded. Is it wrong that she approached him because she hoped that the Wine company could be saved? She just wanted to help her father. Mom, if something unfortunate happens to Unicons Group, I will do everything I can to save it.”

Daniel took another step forward and knelt in front of his mother and earnestly begged her to allow him to be with Emily.

He begged his mother not to pay attention to the past of an immature student. He begged his mother to put herself in Emily’s situation at that time to understand the fear that made her make the rash decision to leave without saying goodbye to her lover.

There is no shortage of families in the upper class who intermarry just because they want to maintain the family fortune even though there is no love.

There is no shortage of guys who accept to marry a girl they have no feelings for just because they want to receive support from their wife’s family.

He explained to his mother that the Wine company belonged to Emily and that it would also belong to her children with him in the future, there was nothing called exploitation.

“Emily is a weak girl. Besides finding a powerful husband to rely on, what else can she do? She is not an outstanding female talent, just an ordinary girl who just graduated from college.”

Her son’s actions and reasonable words calmed Jessica’s anger somewhat. If she looks at the present and the near future, it’s Emily taking advantage of her son, but in the more distant future, it doesn’t look like taking advantage.

Furthermore, the Unicons group has been firmly established in the market for decades. If she is worried about Emily leaving Daniel because the group is in trouble, she is worrying too much because it is unlikely to happen.

“Mom, Emily will make your son try harder and become better. Before she agreed to be my girlfriend, I couldn’t sleep.”

Although she still secretly blamed Daniel for being so lovesick, she was convinced by her son. If she persists in stopping him, maybe he will be like Kevin, unable to develop feelings for any girl.

So she had to accept and hope that when Kevin saw that Emily was married to her younger brother, he could let go of the past and accept new love in the future.

“Daniel, if that girl dares to abandon you, I will not forgive her.” She raised her hand to gently stroke her son’s head and spoke softly.

“That won’t happen, Mom. Thank you, Mom. Emily and I will live happily and filial with my dad and you.”

Both of them looked at each other and smiled. Jessica must admit that her son has the talent to persuade others.

Since Daniel entered Unicons Group, there has never been a negotiation with his participation that has failed. And today, right in this house, he was able to turn around a situation that seemed as tense as a string about to break.

However, he knew that his mother agreed mostly because she loved him too much and did not want to see him suffer and be sad like his brother.

Daniel does not blame Kevin for talking about the past with his mother. He can understand that the hatred has turned into an indelible scar, but he believes that in the future, with the relationship between a husband’s brother and a sister-in-law, that scar will gradually be erased.

Furthermore, he believes that the increasingly deeper love with Emma will also help Kevin not look back at the past anymore.

When Daniel left the room, he saw Matthew’s back. He approached and called softly.

As always, his father left the responsibility of raising, educating, and disciplining his children to his mother. But he knew his father was still silently watching from behind, and only when the problem was big would his father directly talk to him and his brother.

“How’s it going?” Matthew turned back and asked softly.

“Mom has accepted this daughter-in-law. Dad, if you love me, please love her too.” He smiled, unable to hide his happiness.

“Uh. I believe my son did not choose the wrong person. Everyone makes rash decisions in their youth, and I don’t hate her for this. Okay, go to work.”

Daniel agreed, rushed back to his room, changed clothes, and drove to the company. In his mind, a scene of Emily wearing a white dress and standing in the middle of a forest of white flowers appeared. He told himself that he would make her the most beautiful and happiest bride.

When Daniel arrived at the office, it was just time for the meeting, so he and Emma quickly moved to the meeting room.

He saw that his girlfriend and Kevin were already there. Looking at the two of them sitting next to each other and exchanging a few words, he was sure that no one would think that his brother hated Emily that much.

Kevin’s ability to distinguish between work and love makes Daniel admire. Kevin deserves to be a bright heir to the Unicons group.

Daniel knew that his father trusted and expected more of his brother than he did. Although everyone says half of Unicons Group belongs to him, currently, Kevin holds twice as many shares as him and has more power than him.

“Hello, Deputy General Director.”

The voices of the leaders rang out, causing Kevin and Emily to raise their heads and look up at the same time. Next, they entered and bowed to the general manager.

Matthew only appears at shareholder meetings, and other important meetings are chaired by Kevin, which partly shows that he is the most competent person of Unicons Corporation in the future.

Emily bowed her head to greet everyone, and when she looked at Daniel, she smiled softly, just enough for him to see.

However, that was what she thought, but the man standing next to her also saw the lovers’ flirting expressions.

The tense atmosphere filled the room for two hours before it ended. While the assistants lingered to collect documents and computers, the leaders all dispersed.

As soon as Kevin returned to the office, he threw the documents on the desk and sat down in the swivel chair, rubbing his forehead.

Lately, he’s been having trouble sleeping, so he has a headache. He guessed that his mother hadn’t talked to his younger brother yet because Daniel’s face still looked very cheerful.

When Emily returned to the general manager’s room, Emma also returned to the deputy general manager’s office. The moment she approached Daniel’s desk, she saw that his computer screen was displaying images of engagement ceremony decorations.

“Emma, I have something to bother you. Next weekend I will celebrate my engagement. Please help me prepare.”

Emma’s hands stopped on the page and it took a few seconds for her to continue flipping to the page that needed Daniel’s signature.

She did not expect that he would get engaged so quickly. Does she have no chance anymore? She felt guilty for hoping that he and Emily would break up because of some problem.

“Yes, do you have any further instructions? For example, what flowers does the future bride like and what is the main color tone?”

“Oh, I forgot, I’ll ask Emily and tell you later.”

“Yes. Congratulations, you finally found your other half.”NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

“Thank you, I also hope you and my brother can speed up the process.”

Emma tried to smile and nod, but tears were flowing back inside, making her heart bitter.

She never even had the chance to confess her feelings to him, but now, she has to wish him happiness with another girl.

She wondered if she had told him she loved him before Emily appeared in his life, would the outcome have been different? If she said it, would he accept her love?

But life has no ifs. The truth is the present. She and his brother were just acting in a play.

She knew that once he and Emily got married, she wouldn’t need to act in this play anymore.

Kevin is an old fox in the business world, but it seems that in love, he is no different from a child, the more he does it, the more wrong he is.
