Beloved Old Lover

Just as Kevin said, on the first day of the week, he had a meeting until midnight.

If he didn’t have a wife, he would drive straight to the Gold Hotel instead of driving a long way back here.

The moment he saw her with one eye closed and one eye open, wearing sandals and running out to greet him, all the fatigue of the day disappeared.

“I’m very dirty, I’m covered in sweat.” He frowned when she jumped into his arms.

“I smell good.”

She leaned forward, kissed his chin, then took his briefcase and went upstairs with him.

Although Kevin was happy, he didn’t want her to stay up waiting for him and not sleep on time. He is a man and is used to this nature of work, but she is a woman.

It was because she worked at a pub and stayed up too late that she was so physically weak. Daytime sleep is not equal to nighttime sleep.

“Later, you should go to sleep first, don’t wait for me. Staying up late is not good for you.” He took the pajamas from her hand, speaking in a tired voice.

“I sleep fitfully, not staying up late. Don’t worry, because it’s the first day, I want to wait for you. In a few days, I will sleep straight and not wait for you anymore.”

After saying that, she climbed into bed and crawled under the blanket.

Because he kept cuddling her while sleeping, causing her to form a habit, so when he wasn’t by her side, she couldn’t sleep.

Furthermore, every time she thought about his image of being tired while working more than ten hours a day, she felt extremely sorry for him.

Kevin knew his wife was angry with him, so he could only smile. He quickly walked into the bathroom, took a quick shower, then came back, applied hand-softening cream, turned off the light, and crawled under the blanket with his little wife.

His hand was still a bit cold, lightly touching her waist, making her shiver.

“Sleep well, wife.” He kissed her neck and whispered.

Emily turned over, and snuggled her head into his arms, inhaling the familiar scent.

She decided that tomorrow she would cook lunch and bring it to the company for him to eat. Even if he objects, she will still do so.

She doesn’t mind being discovered and listening to criticism because now he is her husband, she shouldn’t be afraid of public opinion and hide behind him, not daring to publicly reveal her new identity.

A warm night passed and at dawn, Emily got out of bed, prepared her husband’s work clothes, and then went to the kitchen to help Daisy make breakfast.

Exactly seven o’clock, the alarm rang, pulling Kevin out of his dream. He reflexively reached out to hug the person next to him, but in the end, he hugged the pillow.

“She stayed up late yesterday, but this morning she woke up so early, I don’t know what she’s doing.” He looked around the room, yawning as he spoke.

When Kevin finished brushing his teeth, washing his face, and putting on elegant, neat clothes, Emily pushed the door open and entered.

She gently approached, tied his tie, then hugged his waist, stood on tiptoe, and kissed his lips that were still carrying the cold breath of water.

Just like before, he used one hand to hold the back of her neck, kissed her deeply, and for a long time before letting her go.

“Will you also come home late today?” She pressed her face against his chest, panting and asking.

“Yes, maybe Saturday I won’t have a meeting scheduled and can go home on time.” His breathing was as chaotic as his wife’s.

She smiled with satisfaction because that day was also the anniversary of them becoming lovers.

A gentle dinner with flickering candles and crimson roses, reviewing their youthful love story together and her giving him a belt are the scenes that appear in her mind right now.

After breakfast, Kevin immediately drove to the company. This morning, he was a bit tired and thought he wouldn’t be able to eat much, but when he saw a bowl of quality crab soup cooked by his wife, he immediately ate it all. She is still very delicate in taking care of others.

Emily stood and watched until the gate closed, then went back in, changed her clothes, and went to the market with Daisy.

She knew he couldn’t swallow rice, so she bought the ingredients to cook wontons for him to eat.

While Emily was wandering around the market, Kevin started entering the meeting room.

Tomorrow, three of the selected locations will hold groundbreaking ceremonies, starting construction of projects serving middle- and upper-class customers who come to travel and relax.

According to Kevin’s instructions, Venn and two other deputy general directors will be responsible for going there and attending the groundbreaking ceremony with senior leaders of the SM investment company.

The first meeting of the day lasted more than an hour. Lisa kept looking at Kevin when she saw him rubbing his forehead.

She guessed he had a headache. Yesterday’s meeting was so stressful that she felt exhausted, let alone a leader with many responsibilities like him.

“Okay, everyone go back to the office. I know this time will be very difficult for everyone, but please try together. I acknowledge all the contributions of leaders and employees and commit to giving each person a worthy reward.” Kevin folded the documents and looked around the conference table.

No one said anything, but everyone clapped in unison to show their agreement. Since Kevin took full control of the corporation, dividends have continuously increased, making shareholders laugh uncontrollably.

The corporation’s reputation is increasing day by day, making employees more and more proud to introduce themselves as part of the Unicons group. Even the cleaning lady and the security guard felt excited.

Everyone left their chairs one by one and returned to their workplaces. In the room, there were only four people left: Kevin, Venn, Sara, and Lisa.

“Go back to the office and prepare your documents. We’ll be leaving in about twenty minutes.” Venn turned to Lisa and said.

“Yes.”

Lisa obediently nodded, grabbed her laptop and documents, and left the room.

In a little while, Venn will have a meeting with the branch managers. His work schedule is no less than Kevin’s and can be compared to a shuttle or a pinwheel.

Venn greatly admired Daniel’s demeanor. Previously, in this position, the pressure of the second heir made Daniel’s burden of responsibility increase.

But Daniel is always smiling happily, looking leisurely, handling work sequentially, not in a hurry like Venn is now.

“This Saturday is Lisa’s birthday, what should I give this assistant?” Venn spoke up when Lisa’s figure had completely disappeared.

“Bracelets, wristwatches, brooches, scarves, or… perfume that she often uses.” Kevin suggested.

“Or a thick envelope. Extremely practical.” Sara interrupted, her eyes sparkling as she looked at the man opposite her.

Venn shook his head, said that in Sara’s eyes, there was only money, and advised her to be a little more romantic.

Finally, he decided to give Lisa a wristwatch because he saw that her hand only wore a very thin gold bracelet.

That wristwatch will also imply the meaning of the work she is doing, reminding him of the time and schedule each day.

The meeting room quickly returned to a quiet state when the last people walked out at the same time.

The phone rang in the deserted hallway and Kevin quickly picked up the phone.

The call happened quickly when the person on the other end of the phone only said one sentence and then hung up without needing to hear his answer.

“Sara, there’s no need to buy me lunch this afternoon.” Kevin turned to look at the assistant and spoke, his mouth slightly curved into a smile.

Returning to the office, Kevin glanced at his watch now and then while approving documents.

The feeling of waiting for his wife to bring food to the company made him anxious like a child waiting for his mother to come home from the market, hoping to receive a glass of sweet soup or a cake.

When the clock struck eleven o’clock in the afternoon, Emily was at the reception desk and took the phone to call her husband, telling him to tell the receptionist so she could go up.

However, before the call ended, she saw the handsome man running towards her, not really running, just his steps were longer than usual, more urgent than usual.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

“Wife, it’s been hard for you.” Kevin took the bag in her hand, his smile carrying intense emotion.

Next, he asked her if she cared about public opinion and when she shook her head, he took off her mask and hat, grabbed her hand, and walked towards the elevator before the surprised eyes of the staff.

Emily didn’t look around, just bowed and followed him.

It wasn’t until he brought her into the room that he let go of her hand.

Both he and she knew that once they made their relationship public, there would be blessings and sarcasm and ridicule.

But they don’t want to hide the other half in the dark because the other half is their pride and honor.

“I thought you were going to keep this marriage a secret for a long time.” She smiled while preparing food on the table for him.

“At first, I was afraid that you couldn’t stand public opinion. If you say you don’t mind, there’s no reason to hide it anymore. You just ignore everything and just look at me, okay?”

Emily nodded, put the bowl of wontons down in front of him, and urged him to eat quickly.

The lunch was simple, but the taste of the food suited Kevin’s taste so it didn’t take long for him to finish his portion.

Seeing that her husband was eating well, she immediately divided her food into his bowl and said she couldn’t eat it all because she drank too big a glass of sugarcane juice earlier.

“It’s really good to have a wife.” Kevin took a sip of fruit juice and spoke up with satisfaction.

“It’s great to have you.” Emily leaned her head on his shoulder, looking out at the white rose bush fluttering in the wind.

Because it was hot and sunny, Kevin told his wife not to rush home and go to the room to rest a bit. She also felt that he was right and obediently did as he said.

After adjusting the air conditioner temperature a little lower and locking the door, Kevin covered them both with a blanket, hugged her tightly, and fell asleep with her.

At exactly 1 p. m., he woke up, got out of bed, sat at his desk, and focused on processing documents.

His feeling right now is no different from being at home because he knows that his little cat is curled up there.

He realized that wherever she was present, that place gave him the feeling of being in a family home, a small home of his own.

When Emily woke up, there was no one left in the room except her. Seeing Kevin’s note, she smiled, fixed her hair and clothes, then picked up the bag containing the empty boxes and left the room.

She deliberately went to the meeting room and looked at him through the glass window.

Memories of the days when she worked as his close assistant rushed back, making her heart flutter.

He and she, whether accidentally or intentionally, have hurt each other too much. Fortunately, both of them still have a chance to make up for each other.

Seeing Lisa raise her head to look up, Emily immediately backed away and quickly left. She didn’t understand why she had such a reaction.
