Chapter 101: What He Wanted
Seeing Kevin carrying a soaking-wet girl out of the car, Daisy immediately ran after him and went upstairs.
Since the night he got drunk, he hadn’t stopped by here and now he came back with a girl that made Daisy extremely curious.
However, when the girl’s messy hair was lifted, Daisy was surprised to realize that this girl was Emily.
“Help me change her clothes, I’ll go call the doctor.”
After saying that, Kevin immediately left the room and dialed the phone number to call Ryan. Inside, Daisy carefully dried Emily’s body and then took a simple floral dress to wear for her. Although it is simple, its price is not cheap.
Daisy thought these dresses would hang in the closet forever, with no one wearing them, but in the end, their owner returned.
When Emily woke up, it was nine o’clock at night. Feeling a bit of pain coming from the back of her hand caused her to open her eyes and realize that the person next to her was Ryan.
For a shocking moment, she thought she was back a few months ago, when her father had just passed away and Kevin called Ryan to come examine her and give her intravenous fluids.
“Are you awake? Your body is so weak. You’re physically weakened again.” Ryan smiled and packed up the medical equipment as he spoke.
Emily was just about to open her mouth to ask Ryan where this was when she saw Kevin appear at the door.
He slowly walked in, and stood close to the edge of the bed, staring at her, causing her to struggle to sit up.
The feeling of being looked at from above and down by his eyes made her a little scared.
“Doesn’t she need more intravenous fluids?” Kevin asked.
“She must rest, eat nutritious food, and nourish herself for a long time so that her body can be fine.” The doctor shrugged and said.
“Thank you, let me see you off.”
Looking at the disappearing figures of the two men, Emily was still confused. She pinched herself one more time and realized this was reality.
Yesterday, it seemed like she saw Kevin at the bus stop. She even thought it was a hallucination.
When he left her in the office, she thought he had completely cut her out of his life.
Pulling the blanket off her body, she put her feet on the floor and was startled when she realized she was wearing an expensive floral dress, not the clothes she wore yesterday.
There are only Ryan and Kevin here, so is it Kevin who changes her clothes?
The truth is that he and she once had sex together, but he should not arbitrarily change her clothes while she is completely unconscious.
Hearing the door open, Emily quickly pulled her legs up onto the bed and looked up. When she saw that the person entering was Daisy, her body gradually relaxed. Turns out, there is a maid here.
“Come here and eat porridge, it’s still warm.” Daisy put a bowl of porridge and a glass of hot milk on the table and said gently.
Thinking about what she had done to Daisy before, she didn’t dare say anything, just bowed her head and remained silent.
It wasn’t until Kevin returned and told Daisy to leave that she looked up at him.
He picked up the bowl of porridge, walked over, and sat down next to her.
“Can you eat by yourself?”
She nodded, took it, and ate it as quickly as possible. She was tired but also very hungry, she didn’t want to faint again.
A hot bowl of minced meat porridge on a rainy night reminded her of her cold, lonely nights.
When she was as weak as now, she longed to have someone by her side to rely on. Turns out, she’s not as strong as she thought. Turns out, she is just a weak-minded woman.
Kevin reached out and brushed away the stray hairs in front of her face. This action of his made her almost freeze for a few seconds and then continue to bend down and eat quickly.
Soon, the bowl of porridge was gone. Kevin took the bowl back and handed her the glass of warm milk.
“Please sleep here tonight. Regarding your company’s affairs, we will talk tomorrow. Please think more. Emily, I only lack a wife for myself, a mother for my children. That’s all.”
Without waiting for Emily to answer or ask any questions, Kevin quickly disappeared behind the door.
She clasped the glass of milk in her hand and pursed her lips for a long time. He was like that day again, forcing her to get married again.
She does not deny his love for her, but does he understand her suffering?
After finishing her glass of milk, she took out her phone to check and panicked when she saw many missed calls from Kurt.
She tried to calm herself down to call him back and when she heard his voice ring, she breathed a sigh of relief.
“Are you okay? Has your headache subsided?” She asked gently.
“My pain is less. This accountant, I told her not to tell you…”
“You should have told me. We are friends.” She spoke up, interrupting him.
“And you, are you okay? Where are you? Why do I keep calling but you don’t answer the phone?”Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Because Emily didn’t want Kurt to worry and have more headaches, she lied that she was at the hotel and had arranged to meet Kevin the next morning.
As for the fact that she didn’t answer the phone, it was because she took cold medicine and slept so soundly that she didn’t hear the bell ring.
Of course, Kurt believed her because there were no loopholes in this lie.
After putting away her phone and getting out of bed, she slowly walked around the room and looked around.
Through the glass door, she realized that the rain had stopped so she pushed the door open and stepped out onto the balcony.
The yellow light illuminated the rain-soaked yard below and the cold, lonely back of the man.
It seemed like he was calling someone, one hand holding the phone, the other in his pocket.
Memories of old days rushed back into her mind. Kevin is still the same as before, still likes to rush outside, and enjoy the cool air, even a little cold after every rain.
The boy from that year was still present before her eyes, still loved her with all his heart, but she could not convince herself to ignore his mother’s feelings to be with him.
As soon as she saw him turn his head to look up, she immediately stepped back, trying to avoid his eyes, but it was too late.
Their eyes met for a long time, arousing the memories that had been lingering in their hearts for many years.
The night gradually passed, in the warm blanket, Emily vaguely heard the sound of rain falling intermittently and when she woke up, the clock also struck seven in the morning.
She got out of bed and went to the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash her face. And when she came back out, the man’s handsome face caught her eyes.
He stood with his back against the wooden cabinet, white shirt neatly tied with tie, black trousers, hands in his pockets, looking lazy but extremely attractive.
“Your time limit has expired, give me your answer. I’m very busy.” Kevin still didn’t move, squinted at her, and said.
“I… your mother hates me so much, I’m afraid…”
“We are only registering our marriage, temporarily not holding a wedding. You know, Daniel passed away not long ago, so this relationship will be kept confidential, even from my mother.”
Kevin’s words eased her heart. A marriage in the dark is not what she wished for, but with the current situation, this is a perfect marriage.
Neither his mother nor the media knew, no one was hurt and Kurt no longer needed to worry about production materials.
“Okay, I will be your wife.”
The man quickly walked over, pulled her into his arms, and hugged her tightly. She could feel his heart beating wildly.
His arms tightened more and more as if he wanted to engrave her into his body. His mint-scented breath continuously blew onto her neck, carrying suppressed desire.
She knew this was a normal physiological reaction for a man, but she was still a little scared.
“Do you have your identification with you?” His hoarse voice reached her ears.
“Yes, in my bag.” She answered.
“Okay, now let’s go to the ward People’s Committee to register the marriage. Go change your clothes, I’ll wait for you downstairs.”
Kevin said as he pushed Emily away, held her hand, and pulled her to the room at the end of the hallway.
As soon as she entered, she was completely overwhelmed with the scene inside. Long glass cabinets contain dresses, jewelry, shoes, and handbags, all high-end goods, and there are also makeup sets placed in front of the mirror.
Suddenly, she felt more afraid, without any feeling of joy or happiness. Does Kevin have a mental problem? Did he buy these things because he knew she would come back to him? Does he know the future or is he paranoid?
Alright then. Because she had already thrown the javelin, she had no choice but to follow the javelin. She had to put her benefactor Kurt first.
Her trembling hands touched each dress and then chose an elegant, non-revealing white dress, then quickly applied makeup and returned to her room to get her bag.
When she got down to the last step, Kevin also left the sofa, walked towards her, and stretched out his hand.
“Let’s go.”
“Yes.” She obediently placed her hand in his warm palm.
“This is our wedding house and you are the hostess here, no need to be timid. For now, stay home and nourish your body. I don’t want you to faint again.” He said while walking.
“Yes.”
The car slowly left the gate and rushed out onto the street. It is now eight o’clock in the morning, everyone has gone to work and school, so the streets are quite deserted.
Emily felt like a sleepwalker. She got engaged to Daniel and now registers her marriage with Kevin, which sounds odd.
During the process of going through the procedures, she had no emotions. She did whatever they told her to do, and when she held the marriage certificate in her hand, her soul returned to her body.
Is she married? Her husband is Kevin, he is her first love. She used to chase him, he used to chase her.
They ran around in circles for several years and now, the ending for him and her was as quick as the end of some stories that ended so quickly and blandly that it left readers bewildered.
“My wife, aren’t you happy? Why are you so frozen?”
Kevin’s question rang in Emily’s ears and his hot breath startled her.
He adapted so quickly. She is still not used to this way of addressing her.
“Ah… I don’t think it’s real, I…”
She was about to say that she sold her body for rattan and bamboo bushes, but thanks to some god or devil stopping her, she was able to swallow those words back into her stomach.
If he had heard it, his eyes would have widened even though it was true.
“This is the truth, you are already Kevin’s wife. I will make you pay back the tears I shed for you.” He gently kissed her cheek and whispered.
