Chapter 103: Silent Jealousy
As soon as Kevin arrived at the hotel, he immediately called Emily. Hearing her weak voice, he knew that she had a cold.
When sick, husband and wife should be together to take care of each other, but now he is in one place and she is in another, making him feel extremely guilty.
Yesterday, she was still fresh so he thought she would be fine. Turns out, she was still the same as before, every time she got caught in the rain she got sick.
“Let me call Ryan to examine you.” His voice gently rang out on the other end of the phone.
“There’s no need, I asked Daisy to buy the medicine. I no longer have a fever, but because I just woke up, my voice is a bit difficult to hear.” She said as she pulled the blanket off, got out of bed, and looked at her shabby face in the mirror.
“Yes, try to eat and drink, I’ll be back with you soon. Now I’m going to rest a bit and then go meet the customer. Goodbye, honey.”
Emily put down the phone, and raised her hand to her eyes, gently rubbing the dark circles. There was a bit of warmth and sweetness creeping into her heart.
Maybe life like this wasn’t so bad, after all, she didn’t care whether he publicly announced she was his wife or not.
She just needs him to do a good job as a husband to her, and she will also try to be a good wife.
By the time Emily arrived in the kitchen, breakfast had already been prepared. She sat at the table and called Daisy to eat with her, but Daisy refused because this was a rule that Kevin had given.
“You eat first, I’ll eat later when I’m done working.” Daisy smiled, placing a glass of freshly squeezed oranges in front of Emily.
“He’s too strict.” Emily picked up the spoon and sighed.
“Maybe he’s influenced by family rules. Okay, you eat, I’ll go to the garden to clean up the fallen leaves.”
The kitchen quickly returned to a state of silence, with only the occasional sound of a spoon hitting a bowl.
Emily wondered how Kevin would arrange the time to go and return between the two places after returning.
His mother doesn’t know he married her so he can’t live here, right? He can’t use the excuse of being busy so he will have to sleep in hotels month after month.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
After a short sleep, Kevin got out of bed and prepared to meet his partner.
The meticulously tailored, tight-fitting suit makes his well-proportioned figure stand out even more. As a businessman, his accessories are just a simple-looking tie clip and an expensive watch.
In the next room, Lisa has also finished her makeup and is checking some project information so she can best grasp it when talking to customers.
She wanted to score points on this business trip so that in the future, if Sara was busy and recommended her, Kevin would agree.
Hearing a knock on the door, Lisa immediately ran out. She was almost motionless when looking at the handsome man in front of her, but then she quickly regained her composure and bowed her head to greet him.
Her heart was urging her to possess him and make him hers.
“Let’s go.”
“Yes.”
Kevin turned to go first, and Lisa quickly locked the door and followed after him.
Just now, Kevin was a bit surprised when he saw Lisa. He knew she looked half like his wife, but today, she was wearing makeup like that, making her face look seventy percent like Emily.
The meeting took place in a happy atmosphere and both sides quickly reached agreements on future cooperation.
Unicons Group has never intended to stop at domestic business activities. Since Kevin sat in the top leadership chair, the group has continuously signed huge contracts with foreign partners, increasing its recognition in the international market.
“This girl looks a lot like Mr. Daniel’s fiancee.” The foreign man spoke up.
“Ah, I see that too.” Kevin nodded.
The foreign man sighed softly and told Kevin about the memories he had with Daniel.
At that time, Daniel was on a business trip combined with a vacation when he met him and his wife and children at the beach.
His daughter was suffering from cramps and almost drowned in the sea, but luckily Daniel discovered her in time and brought her to shore.
“He came quickly and left quickly. He didn’t leave his contact number so I don’t know who he is. It wasn’t until I saw pictures of the engagement ceremony that I recognized him and tried to contact him with the hope of long-term business cooperation. I didn’t expect that as soon as I got his phone number, bad news came.” His voice became choked up.
At this time, Kevin knew why he proactively contacted Unicons Group and offered to cooperate. It’s all related to Daniel.
Before his brother left, he left behind good relationships and business development opportunities for him and the entire Unicons group.
Many months have passed, but every time someone mentions memories of Daniel, Kevin’s nose still stings and his chest feels tight.
The appointments and meetings of the following days went extremely smoothly, putting Kevin in an extremely good mood.
He is a business person and believes a little in age compatibility, life compatibility, and feng shui, so he believes everything will go smoothly because Lisa is with him.
There was a time difference between the two countries, so he had to watch for times when Emily wasn’t sleeping to call her.
“Have you recovered from your cold yet? Why does your voice sound so muffled?” He frowned, looking at the girl with slightly messy hair on the screen.
“The illness is gone. Probably due to the network connection.” She didn’t even look at him, her eyes were still glued to the needle, the thread in her hand, quickly threading the needle.
“Wife, why are you so curt when talking to your husband? Can’t you be a little sweeter to me?”
“I can’t be sweet. If you want, then find someone else.”
Kevin was dumbfounded when he heard what she said. Does this look on her face mean she’s sulking?
She’s upset because he left her home alone after they just registered their marriage, right? Probably not. She should be happy, right? Perhaps she doesn’t want to talk to him.
After a long period of contemplation, he made an excuse that he needed to handle work and hung up.
At this time, Emily had just finished sewing the button on his shirt sleeve. She looked at the phone screen, silently cursing the man who had just called her.
Today, Emily went to the kitchen to help Daisy pick vegetables and talked more with her and discovered that Daisy had a daughter who was working as Venn’s assistant.
She didn’t pay much attention until Daisy showed Lisa’s photo. She did not expect there to be someone similar to her in both appearance and dressing style.
And the important thing is that she knows that on this business trip, Lisa will be Kevin’s companion, instead of Sara.
Even though she didn’t want to think nonsense, she still kept thinking nonsense.
If she remembered correctly, that was the girl who sat next to him in the VIP room of the Paradise pub.
As night fell, Emily leaned against the door again and looked into the distance.
When she looked at Lisa, she seemed to see her youth, that was the first appearance of her that Kevin liked.
But if he has feelings for Lisa, why does he have to be bound to her with a marriage certificate? Or is he greedy, wanting both old and young?
Downstairs, in the maid’s room, Daisy was chatting with Lisa.
Looking at the gifts her daughter bought for her, she was so touched that her eyes turned red.
Thanks to Kevin, her daughter’s future is so bright. In the future, her daughter will probably have many opportunities to meet excellent guys.
“Is work there okay? Are you having any difficulties?” Daisy asked worriedly.
“It’s okay, Mom, my boss is very pleased, and even gave me some money to spend, saying it was money for me to eat nutritious food.” Lisa smiled happily.
“Uh, of course, he’s happy, he just got married, and he has to be happy.” Daisy nodded.
“What? Mom said who just got married?”
“Oh, no.”
“I heard what you said clearly. Please tell me quickly, who is Kevin married to?” Speak quickly.
Daisy knew she had accidentally revealed her master’s secret, but because her daughter kept asking, she had to tell the truth and told Lisa to keep this a secret.
She was unaware that her daughter’s heart was contracting violently. She did not know that her daughter had fallen in love with Kevin, not simply admiring a talented young boss like many other employees.
Lisa put down the phone and she could barely breathe. Why did everything happen at such rocket speed?
She thought this was an opportunity for him and her to develop their relationship, but in the end, he registered his marriage with Emily on the very day he and she boarded the plane.
She blamed herself for being too hesitant and then lost him. If she had been a little bolder, maybe things would have been different.
“No, even if Kevin is married, there is no problem. As long as he divorces, I still have a chance.” She tremblingly picked up the water bottle, opened the cap, took a sip, and reassured herself.
After thinking for a long time, Lisa took out her phone, texted Jessica, told her that her son had secretly married Emily, and sent her the address of the mini villa in the rich villa area.
Because Jessica knew Kevin was abroad, she didn’t stay up waiting for anyone, so she went to bed early and didn’t know a text message came.
It wasn’t until dawn, after washing her face and preparing to go downstairs for breakfast, that she saw a message from Lisa, and at the same time, she also saw a message from Kevin.
“What’s wrong with you? Why does your face look so unsightly?” Matthew spoke up as soon as he sat at the dining table.
“I couldn’t sleep last night, I’m just a little tired.” Jessica answered.
Since the day her youngest son passed away, she had rarely had a good night’s sleep, so Matthew did not suspect anything.
He also asked a doctor to examine her and prescribe medicine for her, but it wasn’t much better, she still had insomnia.
As soon as she finished breakfast, she told Mary to take her out. She really couldn’t understand her son.
Could it be that no girl in this city makes him fall in love? Why does he keep rushing into Emily?
The car drove on the main road for a long time, then turned into the villa area, then stopped in front of a lovely villa.
Jessica got out of the car and looked around. She and her husband were unable to know all of their sons’ assets, including their real estate.
However, she knew this villa because she once heard Kevin mention it while talking to her husband.
It turned out that her son hid that girl here and lived as husband and wife with her.
After two rings, Jessica widened her eyes because she realized that the person opening the gate was her old maid, Daisy.
And when Daisy saw her old mistress, she also froze, her mouth stammering without being able to utter a word.
When Daisy regained her composure, Jessica passed her and went straight into the yard.
