Beloved Old Lover

Both of them just sat like that, no one said a word. Emily also didn’t know how much time had passed.

Kevin’s tear-stained face haunted her. He had never shown such weakness in front of her.

“Emily, I’m sorry. You… you should forget about today. I promise I won’t cause trouble for you and Daniel anymore. Please treat my brother well and don’t… meet any other man.”

After saying that, he stood up and walked into the bathroom. When the sound of running water rang out, Emily got out of bed, picked up her bag, and left the room, where the incident that had just happened made her terrified.

The moment she turned her head to look back at the closed door, tears flowed from her eyes.

She and he chose two paths for themselves and the farther they went, the more they could no longer stop.

If two people split up so that four people can all be happy, then let it be as it is.

“Kevin, we will forget each other, our love has ended.”

Leaving the Gold Hotel, Emily wandered along the road because she knew Kevin would not return to the company.

This afternoon, he didn’t have an appointment with anyone, one of the rare days when he wasn’t busy with meetings in the afternoon.

Even though something unexpected happened today, Emily felt it was good, at least Kevin promised not to make things difficult for her anymore.

She will consider that as his consent for her to move forward with Daniel. But what did he mean when he said she shouldn’t meet other men? Who did she meet? Is he talking about that pervert named Mason?

When Kevin came back out, he was the only one left in the room. He deliberately avoided her so she could comfortably leave. He understood from this moment, he had truly lost her.

His trembling hand touched the wrinkled white sheet, where her scent remained.

“Emily, maybe you can forget me, but I’m not sure that I can forget you, I just have to accept letting go of your hand.”

After changing into new clothes, he sat at the table, flipped through the documents, and began approving. Even though he was suffering, he couldn’t lie in bed and cry all day.

Carrying heavy responsibility on his shoulders forced him to suppress his emotions, he could only force himself to be strong, not to fall no matter what happened.

When Emily arrived home, she saw her boyfriend’s car parked right in front of the gate. She quickly ran inside and went straight to the kitchen because she heard someone talking.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

What caught her eye was a rather sumptuous dining table, with fish, meat, vegetables, and seafood. The smell of food wafted up and made her hungry.

“Dad, Daniel.”

“Yes, come here and eat. All of these dishes were brought by Daniel.” James happily waved his hand to her.

“Did you cook?” Emily approached, looked around the dining table, and asked.

“I also planned to cook them but I got home from work too late so I asked my chef to cook them and then I brought them here.” Daniel scratched his head and smiled wryly.

All three people quickly picked up their chopsticks and started eating.

Emily complimented every dish she ate. She knew her future husband was a busy gentleman, just the fact that he brought these dishes here touched her so much and she didn’t need him to go into the kitchen to cook them himself.

Seeing her eat well, Daniel also felt happy. The feeling of coming home from work and having a meal with the person he loves is truly happy and all the fatigue disappears.

She is like his tonic. Falling in love with her, he felt the power of love, which before, he only thought was a beautiful, unreal theory.

“Uncle, I would like to take Emily for a walk later.” Daniel politely spoke up.

“Yes, you can take her to the forest or the sea, whatever you want. I feel very secure when I entrust my daughter to you.”

Emily almost choked when she heard her father declare like that. But she was very happy, it was good that her father and Daniel could get along like that, he respected her father and her father liked him, that’s all she needed.

After the meal ended, he took charge of cleaning up and told her to take a shower and change clothes. He planned that after marrying her, he would hire some maids to take care of her father, or he could come and stay at her house.

He knew she loved and worried about James, so he wouldn’t hesitate to move here. After all, his parents still had his brother and many longtime servants by their side.

Both of them left the house when the clock struck eight o’clock in the evening. Daniel drove to a nearby park according to Emily’s wishes.

She does not want to immerse herself in the hustle and bustle of the entertainment venues of this city, she just wants to immerse herself in a quiet, peaceful space.

Daniel held Emily’s slender hand and walked with her along the small, zigzag paths in the large park.

He also doesn’t like noise, he wants to go to places like this, where he can hear the footsteps and breathing of the person he loves.

Seeing the couple kissing on a stone bench under a leafy tree, Emily was shy and quickly pulled Daniel in another direction.

While he felt amused by her expression, the scene in the Gold Hotel at noon appeared in her mind.

She felt like her lips were still swollen and sore. Luckily Kevin stopped in time.

“Let’s sit here.”

Daniel pulled Emily’s hand to the empty bench and sat down with her. He proactively put his arm around her shoulders, letting her rest her head on his shoulder.

The gentle fragrance from the girl’s hair made him keep inhaling, not wanting to stop.

“What kind of flowers do you like, Emily? What is your favorite color?” He caressed her arm and asked.

“I like roses and white colors.” She answered happily.

“Okay. I want to know to prepare for our engagement.”

“Do I need to do anything?”

“No, I asked Emma to do it for me. Tomorrow afternoon I’ll take you to the dress shop to try on dresses.”

She nodded softly then wrapped her arms around his waist, pressing her face close to his chest.

Even if Kevin did not advise her, she still told herself that she would try to love this man and stay with him forever, not betraying the noble love he had for her.

Emily’s rather intimate actions made Daniel unable to control himself. He wanted to be a little more intimate with her, not just holding hands, stroking, and hugging.

After hesitating for a long time, he gently pushed her away and lovingly looked into her sparkling eyes. Under the dim lights in the park, he saw that her eyes seemed to contain a vast ocean of love for him.

The man’s breath got closer and closer, blowing on Emily’s white and pink face, making her heart beat faster.

The scene that took place in the hotel at noon once again appeared in her mind. Daniel’s face suddenly turned into Kevin’s, making her body tremble.

The moment his lips were about to touch hers, she turned away to avoid it, causing the kiss to fall lightly on her black hair.

Disappointment is what Daniel feels at this moment. A feeling of emptiness and cold crept quickly into his heart. However, he didn’t want her to feel confused and awkward, so he hugged her and kissed her hard on the top of her head.

“You’re not used to it yet, right? It’s okay, we love each other at the speed of a rocket so I can understand. You should practice kissing yourself in the mirror, imagining your reflection is me.”

Daniel’s humorous statement made Emily laugh and no longer feel embarrassed because she couldn’t find a reason for her recent action.

This delicate and thoughtful man became her boyfriend, which was her destiny. She silently thanked life for allowing her to meet him at a time when she was about to fall into the abyss.

“Yes, I will practice gradually.”

Daniel took Emily home when the clock struck ten at night. The passing of two hours was not enough to ease his feelings of missing her. He wanted to have magic, turn her small, put her in his pocket, and carry her with him.

“Sleep well, baby. Tomorrow I’ll come again.” He raised his hand, and waved, signaling her to quickly close the gate.

“Sleep well, too. Be careful driving.”

As soon as the gate closed, the car moved away. The rearview mirror reflected a handsome but sad face.

Daniel did not go home immediately but drove around the city, watching the crowded streets gradually become deserted.

The silhouette of a lonely man leaning against the bridge and blowing white smoke into space attracted his eyes. He wondered since when did his brother start smoking?

Kevin is not an alcoholic or a smoker and Daniel guessed that perhaps he had something to say in his heart.

Is it because his younger brother is about to marry his ex-girlfriend that he is so upset that he is still wandering on the bridge at this hour?

“Brother, do you hate her that much? But I realized she still loves you very much.”

Although Daniel wanted to stop to ask Kevin, in the end, he chose to run straight home, pretending not to see his brother. However, he did not expect that his license plate would be seen by Kevin.

Kevin also wondered why his younger brother was wandering in this area. The path from Emily’s house to his villa doesn’t go through here.

After extinguishing his cigarette, Kevin got back in the car, picked up the phone, and called his mother, announcing that he would stay at the hotel tonight and not go home.

He needs his own space to return to normal. Emily’s return has turned his life and thoughts upside down to the point of being unable to control.

“Kevin, are you angry with me?” Jessica’s voice was full of worry.

“No, mom. I just have some personal business.”

Jessica breathed a sigh of relief and secretly guessed that perhaps her son wanted to stay there to calm down. She also hopes he will soon meet a good girl who will help him forget the past.

If Kevin can get married early like Daniel, that would be great. She wants to have two grandchildren to hold in her arms or let her husband carry one grandchild.
