Beloved Old Lover

Last night, sleeping with Kevin in the tent, although Emily was very happy, she was also worried, afraid of being discovered by others.

And now it’s okay, here only he and she know each other, around them are only strangers.

“Go to sleep, don’t play anymore.” He grabbed the hand that was touching his face and said.

“Dislike.”

Emily shook her head and continued to caress the bridge of his nose and then his lips. Every line on this handsome face has changed over time, becoming stronger, more masculine, and more mature than the student of previous years.

“Have you called your father yet?”

“I called a few times but he didn’t pick up so I texted him. He probably went to meet friends and partners again.”

She stopped playing with his face and wrapped her arms around his waist, snuggling her head into his chest to find warmth to easily fall asleep.

This motel has walls but it’s like there are no walls, the wind still blows in through small gaps, bringing the cold outside inside.

The warmth from them spread to each other, bringing each other into a beautiful dream.

Kevin planned that as soon as he returned to the city, he would talk to his parents and then quickly take her home.

He had passed nearly half of his life and had been separated from her for five years. He didn’t want to miss out on precious time with her anymore. He wants to live with her under the same roof, eat together, sleep together, and take care of their home together.

In the middle of the night, Kevin woke up and was startled when he realized that his side was empty, with only a little warmth left.

He quickly threw off the blanket, got out of bed, and was about to open the door to go out to look for her. However, as soon as his hand touched the door handle, he was almost motionless when he heard her voice echoing very softly outside.

“Yes, I also didn’t expect him to be so easily captivated. Don’t worry Dad, everything will be fine, the Wine company will be saved…”

Kevin’s whole body trembled. There were no words that could describe his emotions at this moment: hatred, surprise, despair, and resentment.

It turned out that she approached him for this reason. It turned out that her words of love and longing for him were just lies. She doesn’t have any love for him.

The innocent Emily of his past is gone, the girl out there is so strange.

That’s right, if she truly loved him and leaving him was just because of impatience, then as soon as she heard the news that he got his family back, she should have returned or found a way to contact him right away.

If it weren’t for something happening to the Wine company, she wouldn’t have come to him, right?

He no longer wanted to hear any more painful words. His legs almost collapsed but he still tried to drag himself back to bed. His heart ached when he realized that he had no value in her eyes, just like a chess piece.

After five minutes, Emily ended the call with her father, gingerly opened the door, and entered the room.

Today, her father went to meet some investor again, also drank alcohol, did not return until late at night and when he saw her missed calls, he immediately called back, not knowing that she had sent a message.

When Kevin felt the girl’s body close to him and her slender arms hugging him tightly, he wanted to push her away immediately and yell at her fake face but in the end, he didn’t.

The endless sad night passed slowly and heavily. And when the sunlight appeared, shining golden rays through the gap, dancing on Emily’s face, she suddenly woke up.

“Kevin, Kevin.” She jumped out of bed in panic and called his name.

Realizing that his backpack containing his clothes was gone, she quickly opened the door and rushed out.

What caught her eye was the back of a man, elegant in a dark suit, but she knew it wasn’t him.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the man immediately turned around and bowed, very politely.

“Hello, the general manager has something to do so he has to go back to the city first. He told me to take you home.”

“Ah, yes, please wait a moment.”

Although a smile appeared on Emily’s lips, her face still showed a hint of sadness and disappointment.

After all, what important thing does Kevin have to do that he can’t even say goodbye to her?

He could wake her up and take her home together. If they are lovers, are they still afraid of disturbing each other? Furthermore, she is also his temporary assistant. And even now, when it’s morning, he doesn’t call.

During the whole way home, Emily was immersed in thought, but she did not dare to text or call him. She was afraid he was busy, she was afraid she would bother him. She realized that it turned out that she was also afraid of bothering him.

There was still a distance between the two of them that people who were not very close should have.

She did not know that at this time Kevin was driving around the city, wandering to the places where they used to date.

He felt extremely pathetic. Even though he is in a prestigious position that many people dream of, he is still just a valuable person to take advantage of in the eyes of that obnoxious girl.

Until late at night, Kevin still didn’t want to go home, so he went into a bar and sat alone, sipping bitter yeast.

The bottle of wine he is drinking is produced by Wine Company, a popular wine, not expensive. Every time he finished drinking, he still felt something sweet in his throat, but now he felt bitter.

Just as he was about to stand up, he suddenly saw a scuffle some distance away from him.

In the flashing light, he recognized a familiar figure. Moving a little closer, he was surprised to discover that the girl was his younger brother’s close assistant, Emma.

“Stop!” He walked into the crowd, standing in front of the young girl and the woman trembling on the floor.

“You… ah… you are… the general director of the Unicons group, right?” The bar manager raised his voice and immediately lowered his voice because he recognized the billionaire businessman.

“Right. What’s up? Why did a group of men assault two women?”

The manager pointed at the woman with messy hair and told Kevin that she had borrowed money from his boss but had not paid it back when it was due.

His boss had compassion for people and let her come here to pour wine for customers to clear debts, but she smashed the wine bottle on the customer’s head, causing his boss to have to take the customer to the hospital.

“Now my boss doesn’t want to give this crazy woman any more opportunities. This bastard deserved it. He ordered me to make her pay all the money tonight.”

Kevin turned his head to look back. The seven-part similarity of Emma’s face and the woman’s was enough for him to know their relationship.

After helping the two of them stand up, he asked to speak privately with the manager.

Turns out he guessed right, that woman was Emma’s mother. She is addicted to gambling and alcohol. She owed the bar owner, also a loan shark, no less than ten times, and her daughter paid all of them.

This time, her daughter was helpless before the huge amount of debt. After receiving her mother’s phone call, she had no choice but to run here, kneel, and beg them to spare her mother so that she could slowly think of a way.

“I will pay the debt on her behalf. Tell your boss never to lend her money again. Kevin buried his cigarette in the ashes and said.”

“Yes, from now on, if she comes, I’ll kick her out immediately. Because I didn’t know that Miss Emma was Mr. Daniel’s assistant, I was so aggressive earlier…”

“Text account number via. Call Emma here. Take a taxi for her mother to go home.”

He threw the business card on the table and waved his hand to signal. He knew that the title of assistant deputy general director of Unicons Group would make these people trust and give Emma more time, but she hid it.

Perhaps, she did not want to affect Daniel and the group. A high-ranking employee, close to the leader, but involved with loan sharks is no good.

“General manager.” Emma bowed her head and spoke softly as soon as she faced him.

Looking at her appearance now, she is very different from when she was at the company, no longer beautiful and luxurious.

Kevin didn’t expect that she had a mother like that. No wonder, with that salary, she chose to buy a used car while her lower-level employees all bought new cars from the showroom.

“I’ll pay off your mother’s debt.”

“Yes, I heard what the bar manager said.” She replied, her head still bowed.

“Emma, except for the boss-employee relationship, we are not close enough that I will pay this debt on your mother’s behalf. I have conditions.”

Hearing this, she immediately raised her face to look at the man opposite. His eyes were hazy, and sad, and seemed to have anger. She knew he had been drinking, not much, but his appearance now made her quite scared. She had never seen this expression from him.

“Yes, just say it.”

“It’s very simple, I want you to be my girlfriend.”

Emma’s whole body trembled, her spine chilling. What did he just say? No matter how rich her imagination was, she had never imagined him as such a person. How could he use the money to force her to agree to this condition?

No way. The person she loves is Daniel, how can she become his brother’s girlfriend?

“General Director…”

“A peaceful life and a true mother, no longer mired in gambling and addiction.”

“I…”

He raised his hand to signal her to keep quiet, then slowly got off the sofa, walked to her side, bowed his head slightly, and whispered in her ear.

The space in the room seemed to sag, Emma’s hands clenched tightly, and blue veins appeared. Perhaps she had no other choice, what he promised her was what she always wanted.

Her life was almost ruined by the mother who gave birth to her. If it weren’t for her dream of having a better future with Daniel, she would have given up and collapsed because she was so tired.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Yes, I agree.” She nodded in helplessness.

“Great, let’s change the way we address ourselves from now on. Come on, I’ll take you home.”

Seeing that she was still shaking, Kevin proactively grabbed her hand and took her out of the room.

Walking beside him, Emma could only complain in her heart. Agreeing with Kevin means that she no longer has the chance to touch Daniel.
