Beloved Old Lover

At exactly eight o’clock in the morning, Daniel was present in the meeting room. Emma arrived after him, but fortunately, when she entered, the directors had just arrived.

She was very tired, but because there was an important meeting today, she couldn’t ask for leave, and also because she wanted to see Daniel, wanted to be with him.

“Let’s get started.” Daniel spoke up, then bent down and flipped through the documents.

Emma noticed that his eyebrows were slightly furrowed when he moved his hands. She was even more surprised when she realized he was wearing a black shirt today, a color that he said he wouldn’t wear to meetings.

Could it be that he was injured and was afraid that someone else would accidentally see the bleeding wound?

The meeting lasted for four hours before coming to an end. Everyone forgot about being hungry and happily shook hands with each other because they had found the best solution.

“Deputy general director, let’s go have lunch together.” A director spoke up.

“Oh, no, I have to go home because I have something to do. Bon appetit.” Daniel smiled happily and refused.

Upon hearing what he said, Emma was also a little curious, wondering what was going on with his family that made him run home. According to today’s schedule, he also had a meeting at 3:00 p. m.

“Emma, what’s today’s schedule?” He closed the document, gave it to her, and asked gently.

“Ah, this afternoon you have an appointment with the director of the Sara garment accessories manufacturing company.”

“Please postpone the appointment until tomorrow afternoon, just tell him I’m tired.”

“Yes.”

As she finished speaking, she was careless and dropped the pen on the floor. When Daniel saw her bending down, he immediately moved the chair back, creating more space for her, and he accidentally saw the mark of love on her neck. It was a tooth mark, quite deep, and had turned purple-blue.

She was dating his brother, so he guessed Kevin was the owner of that violent bite.

Leaving the meeting room, he quickly ran down to the parking lot and drove quickly home.

Last night, he forgot to call his mother. This morning, when he called, she didn’t pick up. He guessed she was upset.

Not because he was in love with his lover and forgot his mother, but because he was in so much pain yesterday, and he was thinking too much so he was tired and fell asleep.

Just as Daniel predicted, Jessica was really upset. She didn’t even look at the main door even though he tried to make noise while walking.

“Mom, have you had lunch yet? I’ll take you out… ah… ah… it hurts… it hurts…”

As soon as he sat down and before he could finish his sentence, his mother hit him on the shoulder and arm. Fortunately, she did not hit his wound.

“If you don’t come back, you should tell me, both guys are the same.” Jessica retracted her hand and scolded angrily.

“Didn’t my brother come home last night either? Oh, he’s probably with his girlfriend, maybe mom is about to have a grandchild.”

Jessica glared and taught her son for a while. She said that if Daniel dated a girl, he would have to take her home to meet his family, then get engaged and hold a wedding according to the proper process, not make her belly bigger before taking her home to meet his mother.

Although he felt unjustly because he didn’t even dare kiss Emily, he had to stay silent and listen.

His mother should have said these words to his brother, perhaps last night, he created a baby. Maybe after nine months and ten days, there will be the sound of a baby crying in this house.

“Yes, I understand, so, tonight, I will bring my girlfriend home to introduce to Mom.” Daniel happily spoke up.

“What? Girlfriend? You have a girlfriend, huh?”

“Yes, mom will like her very much. Now tell the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous meal to eat with your future daughter-in-law.”

After speaking, Daniel ran upstairs. Jessica shook her head and looked at her son’s back, then quickly called the housekeeper to meet her and give instructions.

It seems that her youngest son is much more mature than his older brother, and doesn’t make his parents worry about getting married.

Lately, when her son kept making excuses for not coming home because he was busy with work, she began to suspect that he was in love with a girl.

Daniel took a nap until the afternoon, then woke up, showered, changed clothes, and drove to the beauty’s house.

Not long after he left, the car driven by Kevin also stopped in front of the villa gate.

Last night, because he drank alcohol mixed with aphrodisiacs and was spinning around in the hotel, he didn’t call his mother, and this morning because he was so tired, he continued to forget.

It wasn’t until he woke up and his three souls and seven souls had completely returned that he suddenly remembered.

He guessed that his mother would scold him. It seems that the aphrodisiac that Mason added to Emily’s wine was extremely strong.

“Mom.” Kevin tried to smile, approaching the woman who was focusing on expensive jewelry.

“You’re back? Quickly take a shower and put on neat clothes. Today, Daniel will bring his girlfriend home to meet his family. Your dad is also on his way home, almost home.” Jessica smiled brightly like a flower and urged him.

Kevin’s face froze for a moment. Daniel is about to bring his girlfriend home to meet his parents, huh? Who is that girl? Could it be Emily?

No, if she was dating his younger brother, she wouldn’t have to humble herself to meet Mason because Daniel would handle Wine’s loans. Besides, she promised him she wouldn’t approach his younger brother.

Although he reassured himself, the image of the dresses in that VIP room gave him a feeling of insecurity.

He turned around and staggered back to his room. His finger continuously slid across the phone screen but he still could not press the phone number to call Daniel.

“Probably not. The person she loves is me. No, Emily is not that kind of person, she is not that kind of person.” He sat down on the floor, constantly muttering.

However, his last hope was completely extinguished when not long after everyone sat at the table, Daniel led Emily in. She shyly hid behind her new lover, her arms and legs shaking slightly.

Looking at their hands holding each other tightly, Kevin’s heart almost exploded because he was so angry.

“Dad, mom, brother, this is my girlfriend, Emily.”

Jessica was speechless. She was so happy because honestly, she liked this girl. As for Matthew, he just sighed.

What’s going on in his house? His youngest son fell in love with the girl he wanted to match with his eldest son.

“Hello you two, hello… older brother.”

Kevin laughed when he heard her call him that. Older brother? How could she do that when not long ago she was clinging to him, saying words of love?

“Quick, you two, please sit down for dinner.” Jessica urged.

Daniel graciously pulled out a chair for his girlfriend to sit on and then picked up food for her. He was very delicate, not letting her sit in the chair opposite his brother.

The meal took place with two opposite attitudes, while Jessica, Daniel, and Emily chatted happily, Kevin and Matthew just ate but did not speak.

After the meal ended, Jessica immediately pulled her future daughter-in-law’s hand up to her room, closed the door, and pulled out the precious jewelry.

She told Emily to choose three things that she liked and consider them as gifts for her son’s girlfriend on the first day they met.

Emily was extremely embarrassed. She should have been the one to give a gift to her future mother-in-law, but she let Jessica give her a gift.

Daniel said his mother didn’t lack anything, she only lacked a daughter-in-law, so he told her she didn’t need to buy a gift, just follow him, and that’s why she came here empty-handed.

“I…”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Don’t be shy, come on, sit down here.”

Jessica was so enthusiastic that Emily couldn’t refuse. She had to do as Jessica wanted, but she only chose small jewelry like rings and earrings.

While a cozy atmosphere filled this room, in Kevin’s room, the atmosphere was extremely tense.

“Daniel, don’t change the topic.” Kevin shouted.

“Brother, please forgive everything for Emily. After all, you already love someone else, so why do you have to keep remembering the past like that? She is the first and last person I love. Even if my parents don’t agree, I will still marry her.”

Kevin was so angry that he was about to vomit blood. Forgive? He has already forgiven and is preparing to save her father’s company but look what she and his younger brother are doing.

Why every time he wanted to forgive, forget everything, and start over with her, she made his heartache.

He is a human being of flesh and blood, not a saint to let her dance in front of him and his family time and time again.

“Brother, if you love me, please love her too. I love her so much that I can’t eat or sleep.” Daniel lowered his voice and pleaded.

“Go out.”

Knowing that Kevin was angry, Daniel obediently left. Just now, it was his brother who dragged him here, but now his brother chases him away like an evil spirit.

He has already made up his mind, if he cannot even protect his love, then his life will have no meaning anymore, like a defeated, helpless person.

The moment the door closed, Kevin also fell to the floor. Was he wrong? Is his love for her not big enough, not tolerant enough like his younger brother?

“Emily, I look down on you, I look down on you too much.” He punched the floor hard, anger flashing in his eyes.

He used to think that men’s tears only fell for their parents, but since she left him, he couldn’t count the number of times he cried.

He cried when the night fell, he cried in his drunkenness and even in his dreams every time he remembered the sweet memories of the two of them.

Trying to stand up, he staggered to the balcony, looking down at the large yard, where a girl was standing waiting for her boyfriend to take her home.

Below, Emily also suddenly turned her head to look up and saw a familiar figure, but she quickly turned her face away, pretending not to see him.

“Emily, I am a bad person, you are also a bad person. We should be together, you shouldn’t drag Daniel into this.” He gritted his teeth and punched the railing hard.
