Beloved Old Lover

In the following days, occasionally, when Emily accidentally looked up, she immediately saw Kevin’s eyes like two bullets. After all, she didn’t even dare look at him anymore.

She was originally in the position of a hunter, but now she suddenly felt like a rabbit trembling in front of the old wolf named Kevin.

If she remembered correctly, his attitude turned a hundred and eighty degrees since Daniel walked out of the room that day.

She wondered if it was because he saw her being close to his younger brother that he was upset. Should she be happy? At least, he will keep her by his side because he doesn’t want her to be close to Daniel.

After a while of staring at the computer screen, she risked looking at the man who was busy with a bunch of thick files on the table.

“Kevin, this afternoon you have a dinner appointment with the city’s president. Please take me with you…”Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

“No need. You cannot drink alcohol. If you go there, you’ll get drunk and I’ll have to carry you back.”

Emily was completely speechless at his bitter words. He looks down on her so much.

The first year she was abroad, she used alcohol to forget him so that she could have a good night’s sleep after an exhausting day of studying.

Although her alcohol tolerance cannot be compared to a man’s, it is not as bad as he thought.

To be honest, she thought of a very bad way: even if she wasn’t drunk, she would pretend to be drunk, using that as an excuse to get closer to him, rekindling the remaining feelings in him.

“I can drink alcohol, I’m not a girl in her third year of college. I can drink half a bottle of wine.”

“Stop it, don’t you have to go with Daniel tomorrow morning? Don’t delay his time. You can’t wake up early if you’re drunk.”

When she heard him mention it, she remembered. Time passes so quickly, in the blink of an eye, the day of charity work has already arrived.

But why is he so normal? She thought he would find some way to prevent her from accompanying his younger brother.

Well, she’ll save her energy to relieve stress for a few days. She hopes that when she returns, she will have the spirit of steel to continue flirting with him.

The clock hands gradually moved towards five o’clock in the afternoon and the time to end work also arrived.

Kevin hurriedly left the office and went to the meeting point because the city’s chairman, Leo, had called him, informing him that he was sitting in the restaurant.

He said that around ten o’clock at night, the lion he raised would land at the airport, so he had to take advantage of every second to be home before the lion appeared.

Although Leo is the highest leader in the city, he, like many other husbands who love their wives, is very afraid of them.

He also likes to meet his brothers and friends, have a few drinks, and talk about a few things, but he has to take advantage of the times when his wife is not home if he doesn’t want to listen to her speeches.

Dinner took place in a gentle atmosphere. Both men only drank one glass of light wine each.

“Hey, you should also get married and bring a female lion home to live together for fun.” Leo laughed and teased the man who was nearly thirty years old but still didn’t have a girlfriend.

“What would happen if your wife heard these words?” Kevin gently shook the wine glass and asked.

“Why do you still have to ask? If these words reach her ears, tomorrow you will see me moving into the office.”

After finishing speaking, Leo laughed cheerfully. To be honest, the couple’s relationship is quite good. His family is always peaceful because both sides know how to tolerate each other, but he is the one who suffers more, simply because he loves the woman who has accompanied him since he was a poor student.

Kevin had also heard about Leo’s love story and his feeling at that time was self-pity. He also thought that that girl would weave a beautiful love story with him, overcoming storms to achieve future glory, so that in his future career and life there would forever be her shadow. However, it is all just an illusion.

After seeing Leo off, he drove to the alley leading to the villa of Emily and her father. However, he just parked his car at the beginning of the alley and did not dare to enter.

It wasn’t raining tonight, he was worried that she would suddenly go to the balcony to admire the view and see him.

It wasn’t until ten at night that he drove back home. When passing by Daniel’s room, he saw that the door was not closed so he walked in.

Looking at his younger brother who was eagerly packing clothes into his backpack, he suddenly felt guilty for what he was about to do.

“Are you having dinner with customers today? Do you drink a lot?” Daniel happily asked, his hands still working continuously.

“Uh, not much, but I don’t understand why my stomach hurts so much.”

“See, I told you to bring a few employees along so they could drink for you, why do you just go alone? Do you need me to take you to the hospital?” Daniel’s face showed concern, he quickly dropped everything and ran to his brother.

“I went to the pharmacy to buy medicine. It’s less painful.”

Next, Kevin made a miserable face, complaining that tomorrow, he had an appointment with his partner, but his stomach was on strike and protesting, so it was difficult for him to entertain them. Finally, he boldly asked Daniel to replace him.

“Can’t we give that job to the directors? Does it have to be you or me?” Daniel frowned and asked.

“Uh, handing it over to those guys seems like disrespecting them. Please help me. The contract was just signed, I don’t want them to think wrong about me.”

To be honest, this was the first time Kevin asked Daniel for help, so he couldn’t help but accept. Furthermore, it’s a family matter, it’s not like they’re working for each other.

He knew that if it weren’t for the pain, his brother would still try to drag himself there. It’s always been like that. He also didn’t want Kevin to be hospitalized again because of stomach bleeding.

“Okay. Let me represent you! I had to ask someone from the company to take Emily away, she was so excited…”

“Let me replace you.” Kevin quickly spoke up, interrupting the words of the person opposite him.

“Huh?”

Daniel’s eyes almost fell out because he was so surprised. The road to that mountainous area was far away, it took almost a whole day to get there, but Kevin was not feeling well. Is he planning to go there to get hospitalized quickly?

Kevin should stay home and rest if he’s sick. He didn’t ask this guy to replace him, there are so many people in the company.

“It’s okay, Emily also knows how to drive, she and I take turns driving. I’ve been a bit stressed lately, so I’ll take this opportunity to relieve stress. As long as I take medicine and don’t drink alcohol, I’m fine.” Kevin spoke up before his younger brother could open his mouth again.

“Alright. Let me text her and tell her.”

“Okay. Thank you. I’ll go back to my room.”

Because Kevin knew clearly that Emily wanted the opportunity to approach him, he did not stop his younger brother from telling her in advance.

He felt relieved because he had successfully separated them and not allowed them to travel such a long distance together.

All night long, he couldn’t sleep and when it was dawn, he got out of bed, prepared some clothes, and drove straight to the alley that was once very familiar.

Inside the villa, Emily was also ready to go. Her father also woke up early in the morning to remind his daughter because he was afraid she would forget to bring her items. That place is remote, it’s hard to buy furniture, it’s better to be fully prepared.

Although James was a bit sad to know that his daughter would go with Daniel and not Kevin, he also consoled himself that it was good for her to create sympathy with Kevin’s relatives first.

“I’m going, Dad. I’ll be back tomorrow night. You should also stay home and rest, don’t go out to meet customers anymore.”

“Yes, they reserve days off for their wives and children. No one has time to invite me to go, don’t worry.”

When the gate opened, both of them were surprised to see that the man standing next to the luxury car was Kevin, not Daniel.

Emily thought he had work to give her so he came here, while James kept rubbing his eyes back and forth.

“General manager, did you come to see Emily?” James walked closer to Kevin and asked.

“Hello, that’s right, Daniel is busy today so I’ll go with Emily instead of him.”

James was as happy as winning the lottery, hastily pushing his daughter forward. It seems that God helps him and his daughter.

He hopes that this daughter will do great things, through a trip, successfully regain the heart of her ex-lover, save the Wine company, and also find support to live happily and healthily for the rest of her life.

After bowing to James again, Kevin proactively took the suitcase from Emily’s hand, opened the trunk, put it in, and then opened the car door, signaling her to sit in.

Emily was still confused as if she was a puppet letting him arrange her.

“You’re only going for two days, what did you bring with you in that big suitcase?” He proactively spoke up as soon as he sat in the driver’s seat.

“Ah, when I was abroad, I designed and sewed some children’s clothes myself, so I wanted to bring them there as gifts for the children.”

“I see, but why do you look surprised to see me? Didn’t Daniel tell you?”

“No. He didn’t say anything.”

As soon as Emily finished speaking, the phone in her bag rang. Seeing that the caller was Daniel, she quickly picked up the phone and accidentally pressed the speaker so the voice of the person on the other end of the phone rang loudly in the car.

Daniel apologized for not being able to accompany her as scheduled and said that only now when Emma called, did he realize that he had sent her the wrong message.

He also did not forget to remind Emily to remember to look after his brother because he was having a stomach ache.

After the call ended, Emily turned to look at the man next to her and showed concern.

He’s in pain and why is he even trying to go? If something happens on the road, who will she call? She knew clearly that his stomach was a low-quality product.

In the past, when he was in that poor family, he worked so much that he forgot to eat, and never ate on time, and combined with his anxiety, his stomach was not okay and he easily got sick.
