Beloved Old Lover

Kevin woke up when Emily arrived at her house. He quickly groped around but didn’t touch anyone and there wasn’t any warmth left.

The moment he opened his eyes, he was shocked when he saw the empty mattress, leaving only traces of the girl’s virginity on the bed sheet.

“Emily.”

He quickly wrapped himself in a blanket, jumped out of bed, and headed to the bathroom to look for her, but what he saw was only a space without a shadow of anyone. Why did she leave? Where has she gone?

Picking up the phone, he quickly found the familiar contact number but hesitated and still couldn’t press the call button.

Whether the words she said last night were sincere or just the effects of that medicine, he wasn’t sure.

Right now, he doesn’t know what she’s thinking. Why didn’t she wait for him to wake up and talk?

“Company.”

As if he suddenly remembered, he quickly showered, changed clothes, and drove to Unicons Corporation. Today he had an important meeting at nine o’clock in the morning and he guessed that Emily had probably gone to the office to check the documents again.

However, the moment he pushed the door open, the person he saw was Venn.

“Hello boss, I’m back.” Venn raised his hand to greet and said happily.

“Yes, it’s good that you’re back. This morning I will have a meeting…”

“Yes, Miss Emily has already informed me.”

Venn was a bit surprised when he saw his boss’s listless face as if a female elf had just sucked all his positive energy, but he didn’t have the guts to ask him.

After a few months at home to recuperate, this morning, when he arrived here, he had the feeling of the first day when Kevin appointed him as his assistant.

Because it was not yet meeting time, Kevin focused on processing documents. He had forgotten that Venn was returning to the company today. He thought he would meet Emily.

After half an hour, he still hadn’t finished reading the financial department’s report. To be more precise, he had almost finished reading it but nothing stuck in his mind, and he didn’t know what problem they reported.

His brain now only has the image of Emily and questions like: Where is she? What is she doing? What is she thinking?

“Venn, go buy me a cup of coffee.” Kevin put his hand on his forehead and spoke tiredly.

“Yes.”

Venn quickly ran out of the office. He had never seen his boss so unstable before. The pressure from work was not enough to make his boss appear so worried, confused, and restless.

The group’s shares are still increasing in price. In the end, what happened to the boss’s house? Isn’t Daniel’s wedding going to take place in a few days? That’s something to be happy about.

Waiting for the door to close, Kevin immediately took the phone and boldly called Emily. However, the only response he received was the voice of the switchboard operator, informing him that the subscriber he was calling could not be reached.

“Emily, how dare you turn off the phone? You… you won’t do anything foolish, right?”

His anxiety was so high that he was no longer in the mood for meetings.

As soon as Venn returned, he saw Kevin folding his computer and standing up.

“Inform the branch managers that the meeting will be postponed to tomorrow.”

“But, I see that some old men have already arrived, waiting…”

“Tell them I’m tired, if I try harder I’ll die.”

“Huh? Oh, yes, boss.”

Venn’s eyes bulged out like two duck eggs. Is his boss crazy? This is not his working style.

After pondering for a long time, Venn took the phone and called each person, recounting Kevin’s words. And of course, all directors happily accepted this announcement.

If Kevin dies, Unicons Group will be in trouble. No one wants the bowl of rice they are eating to be damaged.

At the same time, in the VIP room at the Empire Hotel, a gloomy, stuffy atmosphere enveloped Daniel and Emma.

Emma originally intended to leave before he woke up, but because she was so tired, she slept until now. The moment she saw eyes filled with complex emotions staring at her, her whole body turned cold.

Daniel sat on the bed, his clothes disheveled because he was dressed in a hurry. He clasped his hands, bowed his head, and pondered.

More than ten minutes have passed and he still hasn’t been able to open his mouth to start a conversation.

As for Emma, she was standing before him like a criminal waiting for a judge’s verdict.

Daniel doesn’t know why this happened. Last night, he saw that the person next to him was Emily, but when he woke up, the girl sleeping soundly in his arms was his close assistant, someone he only considered a close friend.

He didn’t know why he lost control to the point of looking at the wrong person like that. He didn’t drink much, but he felt uncomfortable, so he asked Emma to take him back to the hotel to rest, and then what kind of thing did he do?

“Emma…” Daniel said after taking a deep breath to gain courage.

“Yes.”

“About yesterday… I sincerely apologize. I will make it up to you. If you want a house, a car, or any amount of money, I can give you everything.”

After finishing speaking, Daniel looked up, his eyes full of pain and torment, looking straight at the haggard face of the girl opposite him.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

He knew no artifact could make up for the mistake he had made. But he doesn’t know what else to give her other than material things.

His heart belonged to Emily. He knew he was sorry for Emma and even more sorry for his fiancee, but he couldn’t let go of Emily.

If he had to give up Emily, that meant he had to give up himself. Without her, he cannot live, he is not as strong as Kevin.

“Please don’t let anyone know what happened between us. I… I can’t lose her, she is my life.”

Emma’s tears fell like rain. She didn’t cry for herself but for him.

She gave herself to him completely voluntarily, without expecting him to take responsibility or receive anything in return.

However, he is a man with a standard lifestyle, this will leave a mark on his heart, making it impossible for him to live comfortably.

She was wrong. She should have tried to escape Daniel’s arms like she had escaped Kevin when he mistakenly took the aphrodisiac.

“Don’t worry, I will keep this a secret. I don’t need anything either. We are both adults, I… I’m sorry… I’ll go first.”

After saying that, Emma quickly turned around and quickly left the room. Daniel didn’t chase her, even though he felt sorry for her and had a lot of regrets, he didn’t want to get involved with her.

He didn’t want Emily to discover his betrayal. He believes Emma will keep her word and hide this sin of his.

“Emily, I’m sorry… Emily, my heart only has you, I only love you…”

The man’s sobs echoed throughout the room. What should he do? Other people don’t know what he does, which doesn’t mean he can live comfortably and normally with Emily.

No one knows his sins to blame him, but his conscience is condemning him.

If this had happened before he and Emily had established their relationship, he wouldn’t have felt guilty towards her. But he and she are engaged and in just a few days, their wedding will be held.

While Daniel was crying pitifully in the hotel, Emma was no better than him. All the way home from the Empire Hotel, her tears kept falling, making the taxi driver confused.

After trying to regain her composure and calling Daniel’s partners, using the excuse that he was busy preparing for the wedding to reschedule meetings, she went into the bathroom, turned on the warm water faucet, and let the water comfort her. If time could go back, she would not let that happen.

At the same time, in front of the gate of the villa located in a small alley, Kevin kept walking back and forth, looking inside.

He couldn’t call Emily and rang the bell more than ten times but no one showed up.

The weather at the end of the year was quite cold but his body was drenched in sweat.

“Emily.” Kevin happily spoke up when he saw the girl walking slowly towards him.

Emily’s feet stopped when she heard his call. It took a few seconds for her to dare raise her head to look.

After leaving the hotel, she wandered on the street in this disheveled appearance for a long time. It was only when she almost collided with a car running in the opposite direction that she was startled and took the bus back here.

“What are you here for? I have handed over all my work to Mr. Venn.” She spoke up, deliberately ignoring what happened last night.

“Emily, talk to me for a moment. Is it convenient to enter the house?”

“No, let’s just talk here. Everyone around had already gone to work, no one heard.”

The loss crept into Kevin’s heart, causing Kevin’s whole body to lose all strength. Why did she act so distant towards him? She didn’t even let him into the house.

He knew her father was at the company right now, so he couldn’t say that she was afraid her father would hear about it. Could it be that she is afraid of him? Could it be that she’s afraid of what he’ll do to her?

Yes, he knows he is sorry for her and sorry for his brother, but everything has happened and he has to find a way to resolve it.

She had gone to bed with him, so there was no way she could marry his younger brother. He was wrong once, he can’t be wrong again.

“Emily, last night I lost control but I will take responsibility for what I do, I will marry you.”

Emily’s eyes opened wide and her feet unconsciously moved back. Is Kevin crazy? What is he talking about? She was engaged to his younger brother, the press reported it and even people abroad knew.

Furthermore, if she broke up with Daniel to marry him, would she still be human? She didn’t want to hurt Daniel, but the truth was that she betrayed him.

She knew that after last night, she could no longer marry Daniel. She and he will have to break up today or tomorrow before the wedding takes place.

And even if she and Daniel weren’t together, she couldn’t be with Kevin, which was a slap in Daniel’s face.

“No, I don’t ask you to take responsibility and I won’t marry you either.”
