Beloved Old Lover

“Kevin, Kevin…” Emily called while running.

The chatter quickly stopped and the men’s footsteps also immediately stopped.

They simultaneously turned their heads to see which employee dared to call the name of the president of Unicons Group directly.

And when they saw Emily, they weren’t surprised because she could call Kevin that because she used to be Daniel’s fiancee.

Space and time in the main hall seemed to freeze as soon as Kevin and Emily’s eyes met.

Kevin’s hand in his pocket tightened even though he still tried to keep a calm expression.

Why did she appear when he thought he had forgotten her? Is she trying to spin him like a cricket?

“Everyone go ahead.” Kevin spoke up and stepped forward.

The crowd quickly dispersed, making way for him. The receptionists started to turn on the listening mode with both ears.

Emily trembled, trying to breathe deeply. She felt lucky that he agreed to meet her. She even thought he would ignore her after all the hurt she caused him.

“What’s the problem?” He stopped a little distance from her and asked.

“I… I have something to tell you, can you give me a few minutes?” She hesitantly spoke up.

“Go.”

After saying that, Kevin turned around, and walked back inside, towards the elevator. Just now, he had just finished a meeting with the leaders of Unicons Corporation and accepted an invitation to have lunch with them, but he didn’t expect to meet her when he came here.

Emily took a deep breath and quickly ran after him. She could hear the whispers behind her back.

She didn’t need face anymore, she came here to solve Kurt’s problems.

The elevator only accommodates two people and quickly moves upstairs. Emily’s nails dug into the strap of the handbag, leaving marks like a crescent moon on it.

As soon as the elevator door opened, Kevin walked quickly, causing Emily to run after him to the point of being out of breath. His legs are longer than hers and he doesn’t wear high heels so he walks faster than she runs.

The moment she entered the once very familiar room, she felt a bit strange even though everything was still the same, only the balcony was different.

The flower beds are planted with white roses, blooming sporadically, gently swaying in the afternoon breeze.

“Say, what’s going on?” Kevin sat down on the sofa, crossed his legs, and asked a question but did not look at the person in front of him.

Because Emily knew Kevin didn’t have much time for her, she quickly explained why she came here.

She sincerely apologized and begged him to just target her if he hated her and not make things difficult for Kurt.

Hearing what she said, Kevin was stunned. He didn’t even know that he had signed to buy some land to take revenge on her.

After all, in her heart, just how bad is he?

Kurt helped her in difficult times, he couldn’t thank him enough, how could he get in the way of his business? He didn’t even know Kurt founded the company.

Kevin’s hand quickly worked on the phone, dialing the phone number to call Venn and ask him if he bought the mountain and the land around the mountain with the address as Emily said and the answer he received was yes.

Venn said this area is part of a construction project of the Unicons group. That place had been considered and put on the list by the previous person in charge for a long time, and a decision was made when Venn took over.

“At that time, I submitted it to you for approval, and then I prepared a few contracts for you to sign.” Venn’s loud voice rang out.

“I already remember.”

Kevin hung up the phone and looked straight at the girl standing in front of him.

Emily lowered her head. According to what Venn said, that mountain was targeted by the Unicons group even before Kurt signed a sales contract with Jonathan.

And like Jonathan said, before they only asked for the price, a few days ago they started buying and paid a deposit.

“Did you hear that, Emily, I didn’t buy that place because I wanted to get revenge on you. There is no hatred between us, it is just a small part of the group’s business project.”

Kevin’s voice was very normal and gentle, but Emily could see the anger and dissatisfaction in his eyes when he raised his head.

She secretly blamed herself for being stupid, her mouth was faster than her brain, and thought that she deserved to be targeted and revenged by him.

But she did not feel embarrassed. It doesn’t matter what he thinks about her, she just wants to harvest the bamboo and rattan there in time to produce for customer orders.

“So… then can you allow my company to harvest that bamboo and rattan? You… you don’t need them.” Her voice became smaller, her hands still clasped tightly together.

“It’s possible. But I want reciprocity, I never give anything to anyone, except my family.”

“I will pay…”

“I’m not short of money.”

If this man didn’t say anything, she would still know that he was not short of money. However, this is also a trading activity, if she doesn’t pay with money then what will she pay with?

Not just money, she knew he didn’t lack anything. She knew he was intentionally making things difficult for her.

“Then what do you want?” She swallowed hard and said.

“You know, why do you still have to ask? I lack love.”

Her whole body began to tremble. Although Kevin still showed a polite and dignified appearance, she could see his rogue look, just a little but it still made her scared.

She promised his mother. She couldn’t let Jessica have a heart attack and collapse.

Furthermore, she doesn’t know if he has started a new relationship or not. Furthermore, she only understood half of what he said.

“I can’t give you…”

“Then there’s nothing to negotiate anymore, you can go home.”

After finishing speaking, Kevin stood up, straightened his vest, and strode out of the office.

Emily pursed her lips tightly, trying to suppress the negative emotions rising in her heart, her eyes were red and watery.

Just as she was about to stand up, the phone in her pocket rang. Seeing that the caller was an accountant, she quickly pressed the answer button.

“Sister, Kurt is hospitalized. He was watching the workers work when he suddenly had a headache and fainted.” The girl’s voice was urgent, full of worry.

“Has the doctor examined him yet? What disease does he have?”

“He has physical weakness and nervous system weakness.”

Emily’s tears fell. She knew Kurt was under too much pressure.

The first time he set sail, he thought it would go smoothly, but he encountered strong waves and strong winds that made the boat he was rowing unstable, not knowing when it would capsize.

She knew he only pretended he was okay because he didn’t want her to worry too much. In a short time, it will be difficult for him to solve this problem.

Once the order is delayed, not to mention reputation, the compensation amount is enough to make her and him miserable.

After telling the accountant to take care of Kurt, she wiped her tears, went down to the reception desk to get her backpack, and left Unicons Corporation.

She needed to go somewhere to think more about it and make a decision. She is very confused and doesn’t know what to do.

The road to the cemetery at noon was deserted, with only the shadows of long rows of trees.

For some reason, she found this place to be the most peaceful, there was no one, only leaves, wind, sunlight, and clouds, all of which brought a pleasant feeling to her, no oppression or pressure.

“Dad, Mom, I’m here to visit you. I’m still living very well, don’t worry about me.” She placed two bouquets of white chrysanthemums on two adjacent graves, smiling sadly.

Next, she brought the remaining bouquet of white chrysanthemums to Daniel’s grave and sat down, leaning against the grave, confiding in him.

Although yin and yang were separate, she could feel his presence beside her, feel the comforting warmth he gave her.

“Daniel, I’m so tired, I… also want to sleep forever so I don’t have to worry about anything anymore. I’m a coward and useless person, right?” She closed her eyes, letting the tears fall from the corners of her eyes.

It was not until late afternoon that Emily slowly left the cemetery. Large black clouds are rising from high-rise buildings and gradually spreading across the city sky, forecasting heavy rain soon.

She knows that the rainy season has come, no longer the rain that suddenly comes and goes, the long wet, and cold days will bring loneliness to people with many sad feelings like her.

The lines of cars and footsteps on the street became more and more hurried, everyone wanted to quickly go home to avoid this rain.

Only Emily is still walking aimlessly, she has no home to return to anymore.

The wind grew stronger and stronger, blowing the tree branches, scattering yellow and green leaves onto the road, and then rolling along her feet as if comforting and teasing.

The rain fell, drop by drop, drop by drop, and then it got heavier and heavier.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

She stopped at the bus stop to shelter from the rain, staring blankly at the white road.

Half an hour passed and it was still raining. The high-pressure lights were lit, but the rain dimmed the light, not enough to illuminate the lonely figure of the girl.

In the middle of the bustling metropolis, there was not a single arm to hug her cold, thin shoulders. Her whole body trembled as the night wind accidentally passed by, bringing cold into her bones.

The car lights suddenly flashed, causing Emily to reflexively cover her eyes with her hand. At close range, she recognized the familiar license plate.

The moment the car door opened, the tall figure of the man who was once her dream appeared. He hurriedly ran to her side, his eyes filled with worry and anger.

“Is your mind normal? What are you doing here while it’s raining heavily?” He trembled and touched her wet hair, shouting.

“Kevin rattan… bamboo… I…”

Before she could finish her sentence, she fainted in his arms. All day, she only had a loaf of meatloaf and a small bottle of water in her stomach, so at this moment she completely lost consciousness.

Kevin gritted his teeth, he wanted to scold her a few more words.

He quickly carried her to the car and took her to his own house.

Today she came to him, then tomorrow, at any cost, he will keep her with him and not let her go.

If she leaves him, her life is not good, then he will force her to stick to him.

If the person who bought the mountain and the lands at the foot of the mountain was not him but someone else, what would happen to her when she humbled herself to beg them?

If there was a second Mason, she would surely die.

“Damn, Kurt, how dare you let her go alone? I’m going crazy.” Kevin hissed as soon as he stopped the car at the red light.
