Beloved Old Lover

When lunchtime came, Emily ordered food from outside for Kevin as usual, and she followed Daniel to the restaurant opposite the company.

The female employees cooed in admiration when they saw the general manager’s assistant being led across the street by the deputy general manager.

“It’s strange, she’s the general manager’s assistant but why is it like she’s dating his younger brother? Why doesn’t she flirt with the general manager?” A girl happily asked questions.

“Oh my god, imagine if you saw your boss’s frowning face every day and sometimes got scolded by him, would you be able to love him?” Another girl smiled and replied.

Those words reached Emma’s ears as she carried her lunch and passed them.

Daniel is not like his brother, he always goes to that restaurant to have lunch and does not stay in the office with simple food. He only eats simple meals in forced situations.

When Daniel was not dating Emily, Emma was the one accompanying him, now she could no longer sit in that position. The feeling of loss made her both painful and sad.

The food was delicious but in her mouth, it became dry, odorless, and tasteless, and in the general manager’s room, Kevin was no better than her.

The feeling of emptiness made him feel like the rice and food were cold and not hot even though the soup was still hot.

When Kevin returned to his desk, the text message tone rang. Seeing that the sender was Emma, he immediately touched the screen to read.

The text message was short but made him very excited. She announced that Daniel had just asked her to help him prepare for the engagement ceremony.

“What? Daniel is about to get engaged but hasn’t talked to his mother yet, huh?” Kevin frowned and mumbled.

He originally planned to meet his mother tonight and ask, but the feeling of insecurity made him unable to wait, and had to call her.

And when he heard her say that she had accepted Emily as her daughter-in-law, he was almost motionless, his ears ringing as if water had filled them.

“Mom, how could you… how could you agree?”

“Kevin, forget the past, that’s the person your younger brother loves very much. If you find it too difficult, just pretend you never knew Emily. Daniel said that if we help the Wine company, it will also belong to our grandchildren in the future.” Jessica’s voice rang out softly as if pleading with Kevin.

Kevin’s hands dropped, letting the sound of his mother calling him echo from the phone.

After a long while, he pressed the off button, absent-mindedly looking out the glass window, where the shadow was covering because a large strip of clouds was blocking the sun.

He hoped his mother would stop this love affair, but in the end, she sided with them.

How could he consider Emily a stranger when his heart still called her name every night? He realized he had taken a very wrong step.

He hated himself for not being tolerant enough of her like his younger brother. If time could turn back, he would pretend to be deaf and blind, holding her and not letting go.

“No, this engagement cannot take place.”Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Kevin clenched his hands so tightly that the back of his hands showed blue veins. After thinking for a few minutes, he picked up his vest, left the room, went to the parking lot to get his car, and drove straight to the Gold Hotel.

He knew that in the early afternoon, Daniel had a meeting with the designers, so this was the only time for him to turn things around.

Exactly one o’clock in the afternoon, Emily pushed open the office door and walked in. She was a bit surprised because she couldn’t see Kevin anywhere.

She tiptoed to the bedroom and opened the door to look, but there was no one inside.

“Where has Kevin gone? There’s still a stack of important documents that haven’t been approved yet.” She sighed and wondered.

Just as she sat at her desk, the phone rang. On the other end of the phone, Kevin asked her to urgently bring the documents he was unfinished approving to the Gold Hotel for him.

Emily didn’t have time to think too much. She quickly grabbed the documents on her desk, put them in a file bag, and rushed out.

It wasn’t until the taxi turned into the large gate of one of the five most luxurious and expensive hotels in the city that she suddenly remembered that this was where she saw him and Emma go in together that fateful afternoon.

That gloomy afternoon had a strong impact on her, helping her accept reality and let go of his hand, no longer harboring false hopes.

She hesitated for a long time as she stood in front of the door before daring to raise her hand to knock.

A few seconds later, Kevin appeared. He didn’t wear a tie, the button near his neck was open, making Emily a little confused.

“I’ve brought all the documents you need.” She looked aside and spoke softly.

“Bring them inside.” He stepped back, giving way to her.

“Huh?” She suddenly raised her head, opened her eyes wide, and asked.

“Bring them inside for me, assistant.”

“Oh, yes.”

With all the strength and speed she had, she quickly walked in, put the documents on the table, and turned around to go back out. However, the moment she saw Kevin lock the door, her steps unconsciously stepped back.

“Wherever the general manager is, his assistant should be there. Aren’t you going to work?” He slowly approached her, his deep voice filled with mystery.

“You… if you have any work that needs to be assigned to me, just tell me.” Emily tried to stay calm and replied softly.

When the man’s hand gently reached up and touched her cheek, she realized that he told her to bring the documents here just as an excuse.

As soon as she tried to dodge, Kevin quickly wrapped his arms around her waist, forcing her to lean close to him.

Fear caused her whole body to tremble. She and Daniel are about to get engaged. Could it be that Kevin wanted to play a trick to make her and his younger brother break up?

“Kevin, what are you doing? Let me go.” Emily tried to struggle, her hand continuously hitting his arm.

“Emily, break up with Daniel, please, please come back to me. I was wrong, I can’t live without you.”

The more he spoke, the stronger his hug made her feel like they were about to become one. His words were sincere, but to her, this was a trap.

She guessed he was deliberately trying to separate her and Daniel. She guessed he had placed a tape recorder or some kind of video recording device here.

“I told you, no matter what happens, no matter what anyone says, I will never break up with Daniel. He and I are about to get engaged.”

Emily’s refusal made Kevin pause for a moment. He humbled himself and begged and admitted all his mistakes, but she was still not satisfied.

Could it be that this is true? Could it be that when she approached him, she already had no feelings for him anymore and was simply taking advantage?

“Engage? Do you think I would allow this to happen?”

His legs gradually pushed her against the wall, locking her tightly in his arms.

Emily was horrified when she looked into his eyes filled with anger mixed with desire. He hadn’t been drinking, but why did he have this strange expression?

“Kevin…”

Before she could finish speaking, her lips were captured by Kevin. The intense and rough kiss gave her a painful feeling. Her body was controlled by him, there was no way to resist.

How can the strength of a weak girl compare to the strength of a man in his prime?

His scent and his hot breath enveloped her, causing her to lose air, and making it extremely difficult to breathe.

The sweet taste of her ex-lover wiped out Kevin’s reason. At this moment, he only knew that he had to do everything to keep her.

“What are you doing? Put me down, Kevin…”

Emily screamed when the man lifted her. Very quickly after that, he threw her down on the soft mattress.

Before she could regain her composure, he pinned her down on the bed. Hot kisses once again tormented her lips and quickly slid down her neck.

“Don’t, Kevin, stop, I don’t want… I don’t want…” Her voice was broken in sobs.

“I love you, Emily. From today on, you will be my woman.”

He quickly raised his head, one hand holding her two hands, pulling them back to the top of her head, one hand unbuttoning each button of his shirt, revealing his toned chest drenched in sweat.

Emily shook her head back and forth. She didn’t think Kevin would treat her like this.

If it was before, she volunteered, but now she is Daniel’s girlfriend, she cannot do anything wrong to him, and she cannot betray his sincere love for her.

Her tears flowed like rain. She helplessly looked at the man unbuttoning her shirt. The moment he passionately kissed her collarbone, she could only utter a few words in despair.

“How could you… do that to… your future sister-in-law?”

As soon as the sentence ended, she also felt that the crazy action had stopped, however, he still buried his head in her neck, the hard hair sticking into her skin causing her a bit of pain.

His hand gripped the white bed sheet tightly, causing it to become wrinkled. The last bit of reason was aroused by her, pulling him away from the thoughts and actions of an inhumane person.

The wet and warm feeling on her skin made her immobile and when the man above her raised his head, she realized he was crying.

If this was just a play, would he shed tears so easily? However, he deceived her once, asking her how dare she trust him.

And even if what he said was true, both of them can no longer go back. He must be responsible for Emma, and she must keep her promise to Daniel.

The distance between her and him was a vast ocean and she didn’t know where the shore was.

“Emily, I never… I never stopped loving you.”

“Kevin, I left you, and you also left me. Our love has ended.”

Kevin’s throat tightened. He slowly backed away and sat close to the edge of the bed. Emily also quickly buttoned her shirt.

She knew he had calmed down, so she didn’t run away anymore, but instead nestled close to the head of the bed, hugging the pillow and looking at his lonely back.

If only he had said those words when she was not yet bound and he did not yet belong to Emma.
