Beloved Old Lover

The bracelet was already worn, there was no longer any reason for Kevin to linger. He slowly stood up and backed away.

Today, she is very beautiful, her pure and fragile beauty is exactly like the schoolgirl of the past.

He knew that today, he had to completely cut off his false hopes and sincerely bless her and his younger brother.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

The moment he turned his back, Emily immediately looked the other way. She didn’t want to see that back leave, otherwise her tears would fall again.

There is a place in her heart for Daniel, but Kevin’s shadow has been imprinted in her heart for nearly ten years, and cannot be easily erased.

It wasn’t until she heard the door open again that she turned to look. Her hand suddenly reached up to dry the remaining tears.

Daniel watched her until he was almost motionless. He knew she was already beautiful, but under the magical hands of a famous makeup artist, her beauty became even more beautiful.

“Why are you crying?” He gently touched her cheek and asked lovingly.

“I… I’m so emotional, I’m also a little scared. I haven’t seen your mother since the day I came home with you.” She quickly explained.

“Don’t worry, my mother loves me so she will love her daughter-in-law too. Let’s stand up.”

After finishing speaking, Daniel took her hand, helped her stand up, and took her out of the room, towards the engagement ceremony venue.

The moment the talented and beautiful couple appeared, everyone admired them and praised them for being such a beautiful couple.

Emily looked at her father and smiled slightly. She could see the emotion welling up in his eyes.

Looking at the bridesmaids who were Daniel’s friends, all of them were beauties, Emily felt that she and he were together by fate because his friends had extremely outstanding beauty, many times better than her.

Furthermore, they were all children of rich and powerful families, not in debt and in turmoil like her family.

The ceremonies took place one after another and at the moment the couple exchanged rings, there were a few people who were so emotional that they couldn’t hold back their tears, including James.

Finally, he was able to fulfill his promise to his late wife, finding her daughter a talented, virtuous husband to rely on until old age.

In the distance, Emma was speechless as she witnessed the moment the man she loved gave the ring to another girl who was not her.

Her whole body seemed frozen and tears could not flow even though her heart was in pain.

Did he know that her heart was slowly dying while preparing for his engagement ceremony?

And Kevin wasn’t much better. When he received the cup of tea from Daniel’s future bride, he felt like half of his soul was lost.

He once told her that he couldn’t live without her. Those words are true, now, he is no different from a soulless, withered corpse.

“Thank you.” He took the cup of tea, took a sip, and then turned his face in the other direction.

As soon as the engagement ceremony ended, relatives from both sides and Daniel’s friends also moved to the banquet room to have an intimate meal together.

As for Daniel and Emily, they went to the area where reporters were waiting for them to take photos and interview them for a few sentences.

After congratulating the future couple, reporters began to take turns asking questions.

Fortunately, the Wine company’s financial situation has not been leaked to the outside, otherwise, Emily would have had to receive difficult questions to answer.

Now, everyone thinks she and Daniel are a compatible couple.

“Mr. Daniel, may I ask what is it about your future wife that made you decide to give up the title of one of the sexiest single men in the country?” A female reporter asked a question.

“She is very beautiful, from her outer appearance to her inner personality, and is a filial child. Furthermore, she cooks instant noodles very well and sews very beautiful clothes.”

Emily was moved to hear praise from the man who would accompany her for the rest of her life.

It turns out, in his eyes, she has so many advantages. The things that a normal girl would know and do are the things that attract him.

She felt that it was an untrue statement because his friends had many beautiful girls who knew how to do housework.

“The important thing is that she can make my heart stop beating or beat faster. So, I have to get married quickly to be able to live on.” Daniel continued humorously.

Laughter rang out simultaneously. Everyone shook their heads at the answer of the multi-million dollar deputy general director.

The lights flashed continuously. The reporters all wanted to capture the moment the couple exchanged affectionate looks and smiles filled with happiness.

No one noticed that outside, next to the window, a man was quietly watching today’s two main characters.

He used to think that she would only give that smile to him. He told himself to end his feelings and stop caring for her, but for some reason his feet unconsciously found a way to come here, stand here, eavesdrop, and peek.

When he heard the half-joking, half-serious answer from his younger brother, he felt right that he lost.

While he thought she approached him for money and because she wanted to rely on him to save her father’s company, Daniel saw it as the act of a filial daughter.

No wonder when he cried and begged, she still refused to return to him.

“Emily, maybe my love for you is not big enough. I only blame myself.” He whispered, just loud enough for himself to hear.

The hurt deep in his heart for five years made him prone to negative thoughts and doubts about her, leading to actions and words that were out of control, not because his love for her was not great enough. He risked his life to save her, so how could he say he didn’t love her enough?

“So what about the future bride? What is it about your fiance that made you fall in love with him and decide to marry him?” A male reporter’s voice rang out.

“Ah, I love him because he is handsome and rich. And I decided to marry him because he is a warm man who gives me a sense of security to rely on.”

The whole room once again rang with laughter. Everyone admired and praised Emily for her honesty.

Daniel’s handsomeness and wealth are undeniable, any girl will be attracted to him at first sight.

Kevin’s eyes did not leave Emily and when he realized Daniel was looking at him, he raised his hand to signal his younger brother to quickly end the interview and go to the party with his family and friends.

“Well then, let’s end the interview here. My future wife and I had to go to the banquet room.” Daniel spoke up as soon as he received the signal from his brother.

After standing up with Emily and posing for the reporters to take a few more photos, Daniel took her out of the room.

Kevin also quickly left to avoid being seen by reporters because he was afraid they would rush in and ask more questions. However, he did not enter the banquet room but walked out to the empty yard behind the restaurant and hotel area.

Here, the sun does not shine at this time, bringing a cool feeling. He pulled out a cigarette and lit it. White smoke floated into the air.

His thoughts right now are like a small boat floating on the night sea, lonely, uncertain, even scared.

After smoking a cigarette, Kevin immediately left. Just as he passed the bend, he suddenly heard a very small cry coming from behind the dense bushes.

Moving closer, he was surprised to realize that the person in front of him was his fake girlfriend, Emma. He thought she was in the banquet room right now.

“Emma.”

Hearing the man’s call, Emma was startled and quickly wiped her tears with her hand, but she still didn’t dare raise her head to look at him.

“What’s up? What happened to your mother?” He pulled out a handkerchief from his pocket, gave it to her, and asked.

“No.”

She took the handkerchief from him, shook her head, and turned away, drying her wet face.

He was the one who arranged for her mother to go to rehab, how could anything happen to her? Her mother is very well taken care of.

She cried because today, she had no chance to touch the star named Daniel. That starlight illuminated her nightly dream of a radiant future, filled with warmth and happiness so that she could be strong and cope with life.

“Kevin, are you willing to let her leave you?”

Emotions overwhelmed her fear, making her dare to look straight at him and open her mouth to ask him this question.

He had never confided his love story to her and she knew he didn’t want others to dig into his private life. However, she still wanted to ask because there was no way to overcome this loss, hoping he would show her a way.

“Are you talking about Emily?” Kevin sighed and asked.

“Yes.”

“Emma, I can’t interfere. Daniel was her last choice. I begged but my younger brother was the one she chose.”

Speaking of this, his eyebrows frowned slightly. He wondered why she suddenly asked him that. Today is his younger brother’s engagement day and she’s crying here, is she just like him?

“Kevin, I… I like Daniel, I like him, it’s been a few years… I… I don’t dare say it. If I say it, will I have a chance?”

Emma burst into tears like a child. She had never expressed her feelings to Daniel, but now she told his brother.

She only knew that if she didn’t say it now, the pain would strangle her heart. Today, the world she built for herself has collapsed.

Finally, she was able to express her love for that man, but he was not the one to listen. Completely wrong person.

“Emma, cry, you will feel better after crying.”

Kevin reached out and pulled her into his arms, gently patting her thin back to comfort her. He understands that love cannot be complete when it only comes from one side.

Daniel has been with Emma for a long time but has never developed any feelings between men and women.

As for Emily, the number of times they met could be counted on the fingers of one hand, but his younger brother quickly determined his feelings for her and successfully conquered the beauty.

Even if Emma had confessed to Daniel, would the outcome have been different? Or will she receive a refusal, like him?

From upstairs, Emily and Daniel saw what in their eyes was a romantic scene taking place below.

Emily originally had a bit of a headache, so Daniel took her to this room so she could rest a bit. She didn’t expect that when she went out to the balcony to get some fresh air, she saw Kevin and Emma hugging each other.
