Beloved Old Lover

When Matthew brought Kevin home, it was already past eleven o’clock at night. Because Jessica knew her son was with his father, she felt secure and fell asleep, leaving only Daniel awake because he had just returned from driving his future wife around the city.

“Oh, Dad, why is my brother so drunk?” Daniel quickly helped his father help Kevin out of the car and asked.

“Nothing, Kevin and I just drank some wine. Quickly take your brother to his room.”

Daniel agreed and quickly accompanied Matthew to take the drunk guy Kevin back to his room. Rarely did Daniel see his father invite his son out to drink. No, it must be said that this has never happened before.

“Dad, go back to your room and rest, let me take care of him.” Daniel said after placing his brother on the bed.

“No, you should go to bed early to go to work tomorrow. Let me, I want to make it up to your brother.”

The bridge of Daniel’s nose suddenly stung when he heard Matthew speak. He knows that his parents can hardly compensate for the hurt and loss that his brother has endured.

Kevin was originally a young master of the Unicons group, but nearly half of his life had to live in poverty and deprivation.

Daniel also didn’t know what sad thing his brother had encountered to get so drunk.

Hasn’t Kevin stopped hating Emily and accepted her as his sister-in-law? He even indirectly created a way to save the Wine company’s situation. Could it be that he quarreled with Emma?

The long night passed and when day came, Matthew prepared to go to the company on behalf of his son. He couldn’t bear to wake Kevin.

So many sleepless nights, so much sadness, worry, and drunkenness made Kevin sleep until morning and still not wake up.

Perhaps when he could speak out and cry to his father, his heart felt a little lighter.

“How are the preparations going for the engagement ceremony?” Matthew asked as soon as he sat at the dining table.

“Emily and I have already chosen the dishes for the party, and we’re waiting for the imported roses to arrive for the decorations. She likes roses.”

Because Daniel was rich since he was a child, when he heard Emily say she liked roses, he immediately told Emma to order flowers from abroad.

While Matthew was driving, Emily was in the office, rearranging stacks of documents and wiping down the desk.

She was a bit worried when she saw Kevin coming to work late today. It’s already past seven o’clock. Usually, he only arrives a little later than her.

Hearing the door open, Emily thought it was Kevin but when she turned around, she was startled when she saw Matthew’s face.

As far as she knew, there was no shareholder meeting today and the chairman’s office was on the left.

“Hello sir.” She walked up to him and bowed politely.

“Uh, if you have any documents that need to be signed urgently, please bring them to my room. Today Kevin didn’t come to the company.” He nodded and said.

“Yes.”

As soon as Matthew left, Emily did as he said. Just now, she almost opened her mouth to ask why Kevin didn’t go to work, but luckily she was able to stop.

She shouldn’t care too much about the person who is about to become her brother-in-law.

After placing the documents on the president’s desk, she stood still and waited to see if he would assign her any more work.

His former assistant was transferred to the finance department, holding the position of department head after he handed over most of the management authority to Kevin and only came to the company occasionally.

“Okay, go back to your office. Once I finish signing them, I’ll call you to pick them up.” Matthew said as he flipped through the documents.

Honestly, Emily felt very guilty because she was about to become his daughter-in-law, but she only showed up at his house twice, the first time she came as Kevin’s temporary assistant.

Because she didn’t want the atmosphere in her lover’s family to become awkward with her presence, she didn’t ask Daniel to take her to his house, and he also didn’t mention anything about this issue. He just came to her house, then went out with her on a date.

“Uncle, I’m sorry for not visiting your family often.” Emily clasped her hands together, bowed her head, and spoke softly.

“It’s Okay. Maybe Daniel doesn’t want you and his brother to be awkward. Time will make everything better.”

“Thank you for accepting me. Goodbye, uncle.”

After finishing speaking, Emily slowly turned away. Matthew’s words just now let her know that he knew everything about the past between her and Kevin.

She didn’t know if it was her fiance who told him or Kevin. But anyway, that’s good. At least, she no longer feels worried because she is hiding a secret.

The moment the door closed, Matthew looked away from the documents and rubbed his forehead a few times.

Awkward? Kevin and Emily still see each other every day, working in the same room, no different from right hand to left hand.

He also felt admiration for the endurance of his eldest son and future daughter-in-law.

In the office without Kevin, Emily felt empty and cold. Perhaps it was because of her habit that every time she looked up, she would see his face focused on documents or the computer screen.

“Could it be that he has a stomach ache?”

She sighed then left the swivel chair, walked towards the glass door, and walked outside.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

Today, the pale sunlight, the damp winter sun mixed with the cold breeze makes people feel very uncomfortable, especially for those with tangled threads in their hearts like her.

“You don’t work but stand there and look at the sky and the earth. You miss me, huh?”

The sudden voice made Emily turn her head in surprise. However, she didn’t have a chance to lift her legs because Daniel’s arms quickly slid around her waist, hugging her tightly.

He knew his brother was at home today, so after approving the morning’s documents, he immediately ran up here to meet her because he knew she wouldn’t proactively run down to his room.

“Kevin is off work today, no one gave me any work.” She leaned completely against him, like a small cat without bones.

Only Daniel knows how happy the touches created by her initiative make him.

“This afternoon, let’s go choose an engagement ring. By the way, measure your and my fingers to make a wedding ring.”

“Yes.”

Without an appointment, both she and he closed their eyes, feeling the gradually warming rays of sunlight covering their faces.

The family barriers have been eliminated. In the future, as long as he and she try to love and understand each other, happiness will always be filled. He believes so.

The clock hands continuously rotate and time passes quietly. When it was time to get off work, it was time for Daniel to take Emily to the jewelry store in the Unicons group’s gemstone jewelry store chain.

He can freely choose the engagement ring, but because he thinks the person wearing it is her, he wants her to choose the one she likes.

“Hello, Deputy General Director.” The young employee with skin as white as a grapefruit flower spoke up when she saw two customers approaching.

“Give me the latest engagement ring designs.”

The employee quickly did as he said and brought out the newly released designs.

These designs all have in common that they are made from white gold with diamonds, looking extremely elegant and noble, showing the outstanding class of the owner.

“You just choose, I’ll answer the phone for a bit.”

After finishing speaking, Daniel quickly left. Emily looked after him for a moment and then continued to look at the rings.

Finally, she chose a pair of rings that she knew had the cheapest price compared to the other rings, simply because she liked it, just a simple, uncomplicated small diamond.

“Oh my god, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen the lady of the Wine company go shopping for a diamond ring. Are you going alone or with a man? Oh, is he an upstart young master? He can only let you choose a ring with this tiny diamond? Don’t you know diamonds represent love? The smaller it is, the smaller the love.”

This tone of Jennifer’s made Emily bored and not want to answer. She felt sorry for Brian. How could a talented, soft-spoken, and moderate man like him have a younger sister who always makes her relatives lose face?

The employee knew clearly that this female customer was the future wife of the second young master of Unicons Group.

Not to mention these diamond rings, he could even let his future wife own this whole store.

However, before the employee could speak, the man’s voice rang out.

“So Miss Jennifer doesn’t know how to play diamonds. Why compare it to the love I have for my future wife? It turns out that in your eyes, the deputy general director of Unicons is just an upstart young master.”

Daniel wrapped his arms around Emily’s waist and pulled her close to him. His sharp gaze clearly showed his contempt for the unruly girl in front of him.

It seems that Kent teaches his son well, but teaches his daughter poorly, to the point that even when she talks, people hate her. Daniel doesn’t understand what business Jennifer can do anymore.

“Future wife? Is she your future wife?” Jennifer rolled her eyes.

“Right. Tell me, how big a diamond should I buy to be proportional to my love?”

Jennifer was speechless, unable to say a word, so she had to leave after stomping her foot on the floor.

She knew that Daniel’s tongue was not average either. If she mentioned that Emily was Kevin’s ex-lover, he might scold her.

She wondered why Emily was so lucky. Could it be that Emily had a spell so after bewitching Kevin, she bewitched Daniel?

“Damn, other than her innocent face, what else is there that makes men fall in love with her?” Jennifer gritted her teeth as she walked out of the store.
