Beloved Old Lover

“Didn’t Daniel say his parents wouldn’t come here until evening?” Emily quickly dried her face and asked.

“Maybe my mother went somewhere and stopped by. Don’t worry, a sister-in-law visiting her brother-in-law has nothing to fear.” He spoke up to reassure her because he noticed her unsteadiness.

Emily bowed her head and said nothing more. Kevin is always the person who understands her mood the most.

For some reason, she suddenly felt very insecure. His mother’s eyes when she looked at her the day he was admitted to the hospital entered her nightmares for several nights in a row.

After ten minutes, Jessica appeared before them. She came from a prestigious background, so she did not want to question her future daughter-in-law right here.

When she saw the image of her son being hit by a falling chandelier while saving Emily, she was so angry that she trembled.

“Take Kevin back to his room. I have something to ask you guys.”

After saying that, Jessica went first. Emily trembled as she grabbed the handle of the wheelchair, pushing Kevin behind her.

Luckily he was by her side, if she were alone she would have been so scared that she would freeze on the spot.

When everyone was inside and the door was closed, Jessica asked Emily why her eldest son was injured.

“Mom, I went to inspect the hall and when I stepped onto the stage, the chandelier fell on me.” Kevin quickly spoke up.

“You think I’m old so you can say whatever you want, right?”

Although Jessica still spoke softly and her tone was not harsh, it still made Emily pale. She guessed Jessica already knew the truth.

She is the wife of the chairman of the Unicons group. If she wants to know something, she will know, she is not a housewife who only knows about the kitchen.

“I went to Royal City and saw the video extracted from the camera.”

She wanted to say that she felt like Emily was no different from a comet. In the past, her son fell in love with Emily and was unjustly imprisoned, but there was no way to explain it.

If she and her husband had not taken him back, his future would have been completely ruined. And now, because of an accident involving Emily, her son almost lost his life. After that, what will happen next?

“Mom, Emily is already a member of our family. What’s wrong with me saving her? She is your daughter-in-law, Daniel’s wife, and… my sister-in-law.” Kevin lowered his voice to explain.

At this time, the door to the hospital room suddenly opened and the person who walked in was Daniel.

Just now, he was wandering around the fountain when one of the management team of the Royal City restaurant and hotel called him.

He reported that the president of the Unicons group and his wife came there and demanded to see the camera on the day the accident happened, otherwise, they would make a fuss.

Although that place is owned by the son of the Minister of Health, Matthew’s relationship with senior figures at the central level is extremely close. So, when he and his wife suggested it, the boss there did not dare to refuse.

“I’m not angry because you saved her, I’m angry because I’m angry at her, Daniel, and you dared to lie to me.” She moved her eyes from Kevin to Daniel and spoke harshly.

“Mom, at that time the city president suddenly spoke first. What should we say? Should I say that what he said was a fabrication?” Daniel stepped forward, held Emily’s shaking hand, and said.

Jessica was about to continue speaking when Kevin’s phone rang. Seeing him press the listen button, she also suppressed her anger and temporarily remained silent.

No matter how rotten the house is, she cannot let outsiders hear her and her children shouting at each other.

“The Minister of Health and his son have already arrived. Everyone, stop talking about this issue if you want me to recover quickly.” Kevin said after reading the hospital room number to the person on the other end of the phone.

Next, he told Daniel to take Emily home first. He originally thought that today would be a happy day when she came in to take care of him and talk to him, but he didn’t expect that his mother’s questions would make everyone’s mood lower.

Jessica walked over to the chair and sat down, not looking at Emily and Daniel as they said goodbye.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

At first, she liked Emily and wanted Emily to join her family, but the events in the past and what had just happened made her unable to help but have a grudge against her.

The moment Emily followed Daniel out of the room, she tried to look back and saw his mother still looking out the window. As for Kevin, she saw him trying to smile at her, but in his eyes was immense, endless sadness.

She wished that that day, the person injured was her. That way, his mother wouldn’t be heartbroken and wouldn’t make the distance between her and Jessica grow farther and farther.

“Emily, don’t be sad. Mom felt sad for my brother, she showed such an attitude towards you. If it were a stranger and you, my mother would be heartbroken for you. Do you understand what I mean?” Daniel gently spoke as he fastened her seat belt.

“Yes.”

She nodded, trying to smile to reassure him. Of course, she understands. After all, the daughter-in-law is still a stranger, how can she be on par with Jessica’s biological son?

She had not had her mother by her side since she was young, so when Jessica invited her to dinner and called her her future daughter-in-law, she was emotional and told herself that she would consider Jessica as her mother and be respectful to her.

Who would have thought that an initially good relationship would turn into such hate?

Knowing clearly that his lover was in a bad mood, Daniel took Emily straight to the outskirts of the city and walked with her along the riverbank to relax.

There are times when people cannot comfort others, only nature can soothe the wounds of the heart.

He took off his vest and put it on her thin shoulders.

The late sunlight shines on two figures, one tall, and one short, dyeing a classic golden-brown color on the riverbank scene, creating an extremely romantic picture.

She proactively held his hand, feeling the warmth from the man’s soft hand. He was so delicate, so understanding, that she was both grateful and heartbroken.

“Is work going well today?”

“Good. Who is your husband? Add the multi-talented assistant Emma.”

Emily laughed, rubbing her head against his arm. This is a real smile, not forced or trying.

Kevin and Daniel are more confident than others. That’s right, they are so talented, of course, they have a lot of confidence, unlike her.

Even when she’s with Daniel, she still feels like she’s downgraded when the reason that pushed her to be with him in the first place was just because she needed money.

“Please come to my house. I will cook dinner for you. Today, my father is going to the party, he will be back a little late.”

“Agree.”

The couple quickly got back in the car and ran to the market. Daniel parked the car and crept into the crowded afternoon market with Emily, choosing fish and shrimp with her and learning from her to bargain, making her unable to hold back her laughter.

The salesgirls also burst into laughter at his clumsy appearance. Looks like she also found something that made him lose confidence and feel confused like this.

“That price is right, no need to bargain.” She waved her hand.

“Really? I don’t know. I thought they said they would challenge the price for everything.”

By the time both of them arrived home, it was almost six o’clock in the evening. Together they rushed into the kitchen, prepared food, and cooked, temporarily forgetting about the unhappy events from before.

People often say that the kitchen is cozy thanks to the presence of a woman, but for Emily now, both the kitchen and her house are warmer thanks to Daniel’s appearance.

Emily is immersed in a feeling of happiness without knowing that she is the subject mentioned in the argument between Jennifer and Reid.

Originally, Jennifer refused to transfer the remaining money to him and put his phone number on the blacklist.

However, he persisted like a hungry leech, went to her house, and used another phone number to call her, forcing her to meet, otherwise, he would post the recording of their transaction online.

“You’re a thick-faced guy. You can’t do the work I assigned you but you still demand fair payment?” Jennifer glared at the man with a careless appearance in front of her.

“Girl, I did exactly as you asked. Because that general manager appeared at the wrong time. Now that I’ve lost my job, I don’t talk much. One, you give me the money, two, I go to the police station right now. This guy’s life is all ruined, he has no regrets anymore.”

Jennifer was so angry that her throat was choking, and she had to breathe deeply several times.

When she heard Reid report that Kevin had to go to the emergency room because he saved Emily, she wanted to kill him.

Although the aura of the heir to the Unicons group was what made her approach Kevin, she gradually developed true feelings for him, a handsome, talented, and famous man.

Her heart also hurt very much when she knew he was seriously injured and bleeding a lot. However, she did not dare sneak to the hospital to visit him.

“Will you give me money? If I press this button once, your life will be over.” Reid held up his phone and smiled contemptuously.

“How can I trust someone like you? You dare secretly record me. What if I give you all the money and then you continue to use it to solicit more money?” Jennifer tried to act calm, folded her arms, and said.

“This guy has always done business fairly and honestly, not flip-flopping like you. Be fair with each other, and trust each other so that you can continue to do business in the future.”

Seeing the car’s lights flash, Jennifer was startled and weak when she realized it was Brian’s car.

The moment Brian lowered the windshield, Reid changed his expression, becoming gentle, politely bowing to the deputy general director of GE Corporation.

“Is he your friend? Why don’t you invite him into your house?” Brian looked at his sister and asked.

“He will say a few words and then leave immediately.” Jennifer smiled fakely and replied.

The windshield quickly rolled up and the car sped toward the main gate. Through the rearview mirror, Brian saw his sister giving something to the man. He guessed it was money.

He also didn’t want to control Jennifer’s spending, he was just a little surprised because none of her friends were poor, they were all from rich families. And if they need money unexpectedly, wouldn’t a transfer be faster?

“Wouldn’t it be better to be fair like that? Next time if you need me, just call. I always use that phone number.”

“There won’t be a next time.” She hissed.

Reid put the money in his pocket and leisurely left. With this money, he will run his own small business and no longer need to work for anyone. That’s why he didn’t ask Jennifer to apply for a job for him.
