Beloved Old Lover

After a good night’s sleep, Kevin woke up and reflexively reached out to look for his wife to hug, but the space next to him helped him remember what happened last night, and quickly opened his eyes.

His wife was not lying next to him, she sat close to the edge of the bed, leaning her head against the wall, her eyes still closed.

Kevin slowly approached, his trembling hand raised to touch her face, but then he quickly withdrew his hand and left the bed, preparing to go to the company.

Although Emily could hear and know every move of her husband, she still sat still, pretending to be asleep.

It wasn’t until she was sure that the man had left the room that she opened her eyes, dragged her aching body into the bathroom, and washed away what belonged to him clinging to her body.

Next, she went to the pharmacy near her house to buy birth control pills.

Right now, she can’t let herself get pregnant. She didn’t want the baby to become the reason for her and him to be entangled when his love was shared with another woman.

All day long, from morning to afternoon, except for meals, Emily locked herself in her room, drawing designs and sewing.

It wasn’t until six o’clock in the evening that she received a text message from Kevin, saying he had to work overtime until nine o’clock today.

The night grew darker and darker and when the clock struck ten o’clock at night, Emily also returned to her room and crawled under the blanket.

She called Kevin many times when the clock showed more than nine thirty minutes but could not be contacted at all. It seemed like he had turned off the phone.

It wasn’t until six o’clock in the morning that Emily picked up the phone and continued to call her husband, but the result was the same as last night.

As if she had a hunch, she immediately went to Lisa’s Facebook page and her suspicions became true when she saw two photos.

A photo of only the woman’s legs and the vest covering those legs was a vest she sewed for Kevin herself.

The second photo only shows Lisa’s face next to the man’s hand and the watch on that wrist is not strange to her, it belongs to her husband.

The mattress was covered with white sheets and the floor helped her quickly recognize that it was a room in the Gold Hotel.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“Kevin, your overtime is really hard.”

Emily quickly wiped away the tears that had just flowed from the corners of her eyes, smiling as if she were crying.

Maybe it’s time for her to let go of this love, and completely cut off this relationship so he can be with the person he wants to be with.

Perhaps, to him, she is just a past that is difficult to let go of, and an object for him to fulfill his promise to Daniel.

After breakfast, Emily went out into the yard, sat in a rattan chair, and rested her head on the table, looking at the ant crawling back and forth in front of her.

She feels lonely even though she is known as a married woman.

At the same time, Kevin was on his way back home. Just now, he discovered that his phone had run out of battery.

As soon as he charged it, he saw many missed calls from his wife. However, when he called back, she did not pick up.

He originally planned to go home with her but he overslept until morning. He guessed she was still angry with him.

The old story cannot be soothed, then the new story comes. He felt so tired.

Seeing the fresh flower shop in front of him, he immediately stopped by and bought a large bouquet of roses.

Women always like to receive flowers and gifts, and he hopes Emily is no exception.

“Oh, who is this? Who did the president of the Unicons group buy flowers for?”

Leo’s familiar voice made Kevin immediately turn his head and realize that Leo was holding a rather large bouquet of blue roses, with a sign wishing his beloved wife a happy birthday.

These days, both of them are so busy that they don’t even meet or talk on the phone together. Today, their work has reduced a bit and they met here.

“Oh, I want to give it to my wife.” Kevin replied shyly.

“Wife? Hey, are you my friend? Since when did you get married? Why don’t I know?”

“I didn’t organize a wedding, just registered my marriage. Anyway… Daniel just passed away not long ago.”

“Who’s the lucky girl?” Leo winked, looking curious.

“Emily.”

The atmosphere slowed down a bit and then quickly returned to normal.

Leo patted Kevin on the shoulder, congratulated him, and then invited him to a nearby cafe to chat for a while.

When Kevin rushed onto the stage to save Emily when the chandelier fell, Leo already felt something strange.

If she was his biological sister, there would be nothing strange. But she is his younger brother’s girlfriend.

Later, when the student photos of him and that girl were released, Leo knew he had guessed right. But he did not expect that Kevin had become Emily’s husband.

“You look so listless, is it because you have so much work? Or are you being tormented by your wife too much?” Leo squinted his eyes at the person in front of him and asked.

“Work is fine. Ah, we just submitted the airport bidding documents. When there is notice of a winning bid, I will send you more gifts.”

“It’s not important, I didn’t do anything, I just dragged you over to get to know those guys. Success or failure is all due to your diplomacy skills.”

Kevin laughed and said that if Leo had not introduced those officials to him that day, he was afraid that this time the joint venture between Unicons Group and GE Group would have failed.

Through the conversation, realizing that Unicons Group’s work was going very well, but Kevin’s mood was still restless, Leo ventured to ask if Kevin and his wife had had a conflict.

When Leo heard Kevin confide that he didn’t know what mistake he had made that made his wife suddenly cold and upset, Leo showed him the trick of making up at the end of the bed when husband and wife quarrel at the head of the bed.

Leo told Kevin to just rush at Emily and seduce her.

“No, that method doesn’t work. I’ve tried it. If I try again, my wife and I will probably break up.”

After drinking two cups of coffee, the two men said goodbye to each other and left.

Kevin remained polite, waiting until Leo’s car drove away before gradually walking towards his car.

However, before he could sit in the driver’s seat, the woman’s face appeared in front of him, making him completely immobile.

For a long time, since Daniel’s funeral, he had not seen her again.

Seeing her struggling with the torn apple bag, he immediately ran over and bent down to pick up the apples for her.

He was also happy for her because she was able to open her heart to another man and was no longer immersed in hopeless love with Daniel.

But she was pregnant and had difficulty walking, so why didn’t her husband go with her? Even though she didn’t go far, it was still very dangerous.

If Emily is pregnant, even if he goes to the company, he must carry her with him.

“Where is your husband? You’re pregnant, so why are you carrying such heavy things?” He frowned when looking at her big belly.

“I’m… single mother.” Emma smiled wryly and replied softly.

Her answer stunned Kevin.

“Where are you? Let me help you bring your things home.” He reached out and took all the bags from her hand.

Emma pointed to the apartment building opposite and slowly walked away.

Kevin quickly followed her, raising his hand to ask permission to cross the street. If he guessed correctly, perhaps she was about to give birth.

When the apartment door opened, Kevin immediately bowed to the woman in front of him.

Looking at her appearance, he guessed that she had successfully quit her addiction and was no longer addicted to drugs and gambling.

“Her belly is so big. It’s not safe for her to go out alone on the street.” He said as he brought the things inside and placed them all on the table.

“Because yesterday I fell and sprained my leg and couldn’t go to the market, so I told her to go to the nearby department store to buy food.” Emma’s mother smiled, helping her daughter sit down.

Because Kevin’s hands had some dirty water from the fish bag, he asked permission to go to the kitchen to wash it.

Seeing that his back was gone, Emma’s mother immediately turned to her daughter and asked if she had told him that he was the uncle of the two children.

“No, I just met him by chance.” Emma shook her head, gently rubbing her protruding belly.

“I think you should let their family know. Their family was lonely. If they knew that Daniel left two children in the world, they would be comforted. Furthermore, these two children also need their uncle and grandparents to rely on and be protected.”

After speaking, she looked up to see if Kevin had returned and when she saw him standing like a statue staring at her, she realized he had heard her and her daughter’s conversation.

“Ah, you…” Emma’s mother stammered.

“I didn’t hear wrong, right, Emma? Are the two babies in your belly my brother’s children?” Kevin’s voice trembled, his eyes were red and he was almost about to cry.

Emma knew she couldn’t lie and hide it from him because once he suspected, he would have a way to investigate, so she silently nodded.

Next, she told her mother to temporarily stay away so she could talk to him privately.

The moment he sat down next to her, she discovered he was wearing a wedding ring.

“Are you married?”

“Yes, I married Emily. Tell me your story, why are you pregnant with Daniel? Around that time, he and Emily were preparing for the wedding.”

Tears broke from the corners of Emma’s eyes and fell. She tried to stay calm and told Kevin everything.

After that wild night, she did not take birth control pills because she also wanted to have a child with the man she loved.

She has no intention of using the baby to tie Daniel down, she just wants to have a child to raise and will not marry anyone.

Finally, two months later, she discovered she was pregnant.

“Emma, the two children are descendants of my family, you should have told me.” Kevin’s voice became choked.

“I’m sorry, Daniel doesn’t want anyone to know. He… he was almost about to cry and told me a lot. He feels that he has… betrayed Emily and this is a black mark in his life. He wants to keep a beautiful image in the eyes of the person he loves.” Emma burst into tears.

Not knowing what to do to comfort her, Kevin could only put his hand on her shoulder and comfort her. It turned out that night, all four of them were wrong.

Kevin didn’t think there was a problem with alcohol. He just thought that because Emily and he still had feelings for each other, and Emma was passionately in love with Daniel, under the stimulation of a little alcohol, everyone lost control and acted on instinct, without thinking much.

Last time, when he mistakenly took an aphrodisiac, Emma had no feelings for him, so even though he rushed at her like a crazy man, she still found a way to escape.
