Beloved Old Lover

Daniel was filled with joy. He followed Emily closely and walked with her on the stairs. He silently told himself that if he tried hard, there would come a time when he would reap the sweet fruits of love.

At first, he went into her yard, then into the kitchen, and now he went upstairs.

“Change your clothes, that shirt is dirty, it will make you uncomfortable.” She put down a set of men’s pajamas and said.

“This thing…”

“I sew myself, I once intended to open a store specializing in fashion for couples, clothes for the whole family, wearing the same clothes.”

He smiled and picked up the clothes, caressed them, and imagined him and her wearing the same clothes, lying on the same bed, and then there would be more children wearing the same clothes as their parents.

“Good night.”

“Ah, yes, good night.” Daniel was startled when he heard her voice and he quickly wished her good night.

All night long, Daniel couldn’t sleep. It wasn’t until dawn that he fell asleep, still smiling happily on his lips.

As for Emily, she also tossed and turned all night, unable to close her eyes, and when the electric lights from the high-rise buildings turned on, she also got up from bed, went to her father’s room, and checked his body temperature again.

He had a slight fever and she knew it was because he was in pain.

“Emily, Daniel seems to like you a lot. Do you have any thoughts about him?” James took the glass of water from Emily’s hand and asked.

“Dad, Daniel is Kevin’s younger brother.”

James sighed and told her that he wanted her to approach Kevin because he thought she still had feelings for Kevin.

If that could both save the Wine company and help her and Kevin rekindle their old love, it would be perfect. Now that Kevin has a girlfriend, he doesn’t force her anymore.

“If you can’t accept Daniel, just say it frankly and refuse his help. In a week, I will declare bankruptcy and settle everything. Emily, I want to keep the Wine company for you because I’m afraid you will be looked down upon by your future husband’s family. Girls with a good family background and lots of money will be more comfortable choosing a husband.”

After saying that, he lay down, facing the wall. He will not force his daughter to be with someone she does not love. His life is not long anymore, but his daughter is not yet thirty years old.

The feeling when she shares a bed with someone she doesn’t love will make her very uncomfortable, very painful, and desperate. He didn’t want her to be like her mother.

In the past, he forbade her to love Kevin because at that time Kevin was too poor, and still stuck in prison, the future was dark and he thought she would soon forget that love and meet someone more worthy.

After pulling the blanket to cover him, Emily slowly left the room, went down to the kitchen to make two egg sandwiches for herself and Daniel, and cooked a small pot of porridge for her father.

While making breakfast, she thought about Daniel’s and her father’s words and also thought about the heartbreaking scene she witnessed last evening.

She wondered if Daniel was her true destiny. He is always present when she needs someone the most.

If she misses him, will she regret it in the future? Can she find someone more perfect than him?

After all, she is just a weak girl, yearning to be loved and wanting a strong shoulder to lean on.

Daniel is the ideal model of a man, gentle, warm, and attentive to every little detail. The important thing is that there has never been a blemish between him and her.

“Emily.”

The sudden call made Emily startled and turned her head. She originally intended to go upstairs to call him, but she didn’t expect him to wake up.

He changed back into his clothes. The bloodstained shirt was not tucked into his pants, making him look a bit disheveled and slovenly, but his handsomeness remained undiminished, looking like a lazy but handsome guy.

“Are you in less pain?”

“I feel less pain.”

“Let’s eat breakfast.” She pointed to two sandwiches and suggested.

Of course, Daniel did not refuse, he quickly walked to the table and sat down. In his eyes now, she is no different from a good wife who knows how to sew, cook, and care for her family.

After eating, Emily asked him to go to the living room so she could apply medicine to the wound.

In the quiet space of the foggy morning, he passionately looked at the girl’s delicate face from close range. He felt the warm, feminine scent of her breath on his skin.

“Daniel, I agree.” She said as soon as she helped him button the last button.

“Agree?” He asked in surprise.

“Yes, I agree to be your girlfriend.”

There were no words that could describe Daniel’s mood at this moment. He thought he heard wrong like he was dreaming, but the pain from the wound helped him realize this was reality. He thought he would have to wait a little longer.

His emotions made him unable to hold back his tears, so he quickly pulled her into his arms, hiding his tears of happiness.

“Thank you, Emily, thank you for saving my heart. I promise to love you until my last breath.”

He quickly wiped away her tears and pushed her away, lovingly looked at her face, and told her to rest assured and entrust her whole life to him.

He also told her not to think about the past with his brother because everyone needs to live for the present and the future.

“Don’t worry, just lean on me. As for my family, I will arrange it well.”

“Yes, I trust you.”

She nodded and leaned against his chest, feeling the beating of his heart inside. Maybe now, the feelings she has for him are not love, but she will try to think about him more, and let go of the past. She will get used to these arms, this face, this warmth.

“Ah, Emily, tonight… I’ll take you home to meet my parents.” He caressed her smooth hair, whispering.

“Is that… is that too hasty? She quickly left his arms, stammering.”

Her scared expression made Daniel feel that she was both pitiful and funny. He shook his head and told her that it was necessary to publicize her position next to him to everyone, even as quickly as possible.

Banks will extend the debt extension period for the Wine company once they know that she is the future wife of the second young master of the Unicons group.

And before announcing it to the media, he needed to take her home and introduce her to his parents first so they wouldn’t be shocked.

Furthermore, if he wants to help the Wine company survive, it requires a large amount of money and he cannot spend that huge amount alone, he must have the consent of his parents.

Hearing Daniel’s reasonable explanation, Emily nodded in agreement. She believes that he will protect her and will be a bridge for her to connect with his family.

Today, Daniel saves the Wine Company, tomorrow, she will hand it over to him and retire to be a gentle, dutiful wife.

“Okay, I’ll go back to the hotel, change clothes, and go to work. Please stay home and take care of your father and say goodbye to him on my behalf. In the evening, I will come to pick you up.” He gently touched her cheek and said.

“Yes.”

After seeing Daniel off, Emily thought it was all just a dream. What did she just do? She agreed to become the girlfriend of her ex-lover’s younger brother. In the future, she will be Kevin’s sister-in-law.

“It’ll be okay. Kevin, you have chosen your other half, I should also think about me, right?”

At this moment, the man who had just passed through her thoughts also woke up. Kevin rubbed his forehead because he had a headache.

He tried to sit up, feeling like someone had drained his strength, his body felt weak, and he didn’t want to lift his legs.

Seeing Emma’s haggard face and the mark on her white neck, he was extremely embarrassed and felt guilty.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Yesterday, if it wasn’t because his body was so uncomfortable and uncontrollable, he would have beaten that bastard Mason until he passed out.

“Emma, I’m sorry about yesterday, I…”

“It’s okay, you took aphrodisiacs so you couldn’t control yourself, I don’t blame you.”

“Thank you for your understanding. Okay, go home and rest. If you’re tired, call Daniel and ask for a day off work. Today, I won’t go to the company. I have to sleep more to regain my strength. I’m so tired.”

“Yes.”

Emma nodded slightly, then quickly took her coat and bag, opened the door, and walked out of the room.

Waiting for the door to close, Kevin took the phone and texted Emily, telling her to postpone all appointments today because he wasn’t going to work and she could take the day off without going to the office.

As far as he remembers, today there were only two appointments that were not very important, and it was okay to postpone them. Furthermore, he didn’t want to appear in the company with this listless appearance.

“Emily, if I don’t help you, I don’t know how many more men you will meet. You are my debt.”

He mumbled to himself, then threw the phone aside and continued to sleep. As for Emily, after receiving his message, she immediately followed suit.

She originally intended to call him to ask for leave but was afraid that after a night of pleasure, he would still be sleeping, so she kept procrastinating. Perhaps he was exhausted after rolling around in bed with his girlfriend.

She told herself not to think about him anymore, the person she should think about now was Daniel, the man who loved her sincerely and was always by her side when she needed someone.

“Kevin, two people breaking up will make four people happy. I hope you won’t be too rigid with me.”

She put down the phone and quickly cleaned the house, swept the garden, cooked lunch, and then prepared a discreet, elegant dress to go to her new boyfriend’s house tonight.

Maybe his parents will be surprised and maybe they won’t accept her, but she believes that if he says he can, he can do it.

She will try to hold on to this relationship, not letting go no matter what anyone says, unless he wants to end it.
