Beloved Old Lover

By the time Ryan arrived, Daniel had already sipped two glasses of wine. The doctor squinted his eyes and looked at the handsome guy sitting alone in the large room, light and darkness competing because there were only a few small colored light bulbs turned on, sometimes on, sometimes off, alternately.

“Why don’t you turn on the lights, do you want to be nearsighted?” Ryan sat down next to Daniel, patted his shoulder, and said.

“I don’t want you to see the expression on my face.” Daniel smiled lightly, pouring wine into a glass for his friend.

“Do you have anything to say?”

Ryan’s voice became serious, no longer joking. In his eyes, Daniel does not have the nerve to control sadness. Furthermore, Daniel is about to get married and the Unicons group is on the rise, how can there be sadness at this time?

“Just drink with me. This story cannot be expressed.”

Daniel lightly touched his glass to the glass of the person next to him and brought it to his lips, taking a sip. The passionate liquid flowing into his body made his sadness rise even more.

He told himself to accept his brother as an indelible part of her memory and heart, but for some reason, when he saw those words, he became extremely selfish.

Looking at his friend drinking one drink after another, Ryan also wanted to stop him, but he knew this was the only and worst way for Daniel to ease his sadness.

Could it be that Daniel and his fiancee were arguing? He doesn’t look like a guy who would argue with his woman.

He is the type of person who is willing to argue with the whole world but will always give in to the girl he loves.

The lights in the room kept flickering and outside the pub, the traffic flow gradually thinned out.

When the second bottle of wine was empty, Daniel told Ryan to press the bell to call the waiter to pay. He leaned heavily on the sofa because he couldn’t sit still anymore.

“I’ll take you home.” Ryan tried to use the most audible voice to talk to the drunk guy next to him.

“No, return to the Empire Hotel.”

“Okay.”

Ryan nodded then put Daniel’s arm around his shoulders, helping him leave the room.

Ryan knew that Daniel’s alcohol tolerance was not low. If it was normal, three bottles of wine might not be able to knock him out. It was only because something sad happened that he got drunk so quickly.

Psychology affects the body a lot, sometimes people just need to take a sip of wine when they are sad and they will collapse.

“Emily, Emily…”

Hearing the girl’s name come out of the young master’s mouth, Ryan slightly smirked. He guessed right, Daniel’s sadness was more or less related to her.

Looking at Daniel’s limp appearance in the rearview mirror, Ryan didn’t feel secure about letting him spend the night alone in the hotel.

So, Ryan quickly pulled the car to the side of the road, leaned back, rummaged through Daniel’s pocket, and took out an expensive phone.

“Oh, hello Miss Emily, I’m Dr. Ryan. Your future husband is very drunk so please go to him. I’m taking him back to the Empire Hotel.” Ryan quickly said as soon as he heard the person on the other end pick up the phone.

“Yes, I’ll be there right away.”

Emily quickly put down the phone, quickly changed out of her pajamas, put on a dress, ran to her father’s room, informed him, and then took a taxi to the Empire Hotel.

She wondered why Ryan was still wide awake but Daniel was so drunk that he couldn’t call her himself.

The taxi took her straight to the Empire Hotel. However, when she pushed the door open and entered the room, she saw no one inside.

Just as she was about to pick up the phone to call Daniel, she saw Ryan helping him out of the elevator and towards her.

Looking at her future husband’s disheveled appearance, she couldn’t believe it was him.

“Why does he drink so much? Did he drink with you?” She quickly ran over, helped Daniel, and asked.

“Yes, he drinks with me but drinks more than me. Just now, I heard him calling your name so I called you here.” Ryan answered honestly.

After placing Daniel neatly on the bed, Ryan bowed and asked permission to leave. He had to take a taxi back to the pub to drive his beloved car home.

He had to admit that Daniel’s car ran very well, but he still preferred his car because he felt it was familiar, not strange.

He should have taken Daniel to the hotel earlier, but because Daniel was nauseous, he had to stop twice because he didn’t want that luxury car to stink.

Emily locked the door and walked over to Daniel’s side. She sighed and helped him take off his T-shirt, then used warm water to wipe his face. She didn’t want the sticky feeling to make it difficult for him to sleep.

The moment the soft towel touched Daniel’s face, he opened his eyes dreamily.

“Emily, is that you?”

“So, which girl do you think I am? Don’t make a fuss, lie still, and let me clean you so you can sleep easily.” She smiled, the force of her hand was a bit strong, making his cheeks sunken.

Daniel was no different from a puppy right now, obediently following Emily’s instructions. She told him to roll to the left and he rolled to the left. She told him to roll to the right and he rolled to the right.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

His heart, which had been severely hurt by those few words, had now been soothed.

“Be good, sit up, rinse your mouth and then go to sleep.”

Emily gently helped Daniel sit up, bringing a glass of warm water to his mouth. Looking at the man’s cheeks bulging with water, she thought of an adorable baby boy.

She guessed that maybe when he was a baby, he was adorable. If she could give birth to a baby boy exactly like him in the future, that would be great, that baby would be beautiful in both body and character.

“Lie down.”

After letting him lie down, she was about to empty the water basin when he reached out to hold her back. His eyes were red, looking like he was about to cry, making her sit down frantically, not daring to move anymore.

“Emily, don’t leave me. You can’t leave me. You are only allowed to love me for a thousand years. You are only allowed to love me for the rest of your life.”

Right now, she was really confused. Every time he gets drunk, does he turn into this? Where’s her mature man? Why is this big boy lying here?

Did he accidentally see the souvenirs that kept the memories between her and his brother? Who told him to be curious and rummage through her belongings?

“Okay, close your eyes and get some sleep. I’m here, I won’t leave you.”

“I want to lie on your feet. I want you to pull out my gray hair for me.” Daniel shook his head frantically.

“Tomorrow. It’s night now, I want to sleep. If you don’t listen to me, I’ll go home.”

Now he’s forcing her to pull out his gray hair for him? Her eyes aren’t so good that she can see gray hair under the electric light. She’ll pull out his black hair, and at that point, he’ll turn into a bald guy.

Emily proactively turned off the light and lay down right next to him. The slender hand gently patted the man’s bare back, comforting him like a child.

After a few minutes, Daniel gradually fell asleep, his warm breath smelling of expensive wine enveloped her, making her seem drunk along with him.

When Ryan called her, she had prepared herself mentally before coming here. If a man with alcohol in his body is next to the girl he loves passionately, everyone knows what will happen.

However, he didn’t go beyond the limit, just snuggled his head in her arms and wanted her to pamper him a little.

This makes her love him even more and feel more secure about him. She wasn’t worried about him being seduced by some girl.

The night passed peacefully and when dawn came, Daniel suddenly woke up. The heavy feeling made him quickly move his eyes to the girl who was resting her head on his stomach.

Although the memory of last night was still vague, the scent that only belonged to her quickly swirled around the tip of his nose, making him feel secure.

A moment ago, he thought he had done something wrong to her. He thought he had brought some girl back to his room.

“Did I wake you up?” He quickly pulled his hand back as soon as he saw her move.

“Honey, yesterday I witnessed another side of you.” She looked up at him with eyes only half open and said.

“What do you mean?”

Very quickly, Emily crawled up to his level and proactively held his hand, caressing it gently and looking straight into his eyes, eyes that now contained only her shadow.

“Daniel, I will cling to you all my life. Only death can separate us two, there is no other reason.”

“Emily.”

He was moved, pulled her close, and hugged her tightly, kissing her hard on the top of her head. He believed what she said, he believed in this commitment. He will also cling to her for the rest of his life unless he dies before letting her go.

At this moment, he wanted to have her soul and body completely, but the love he had for her was always accompanied by absolute respect, so he tried to suppress the desire rising strongly within him. He can only express his desire through this increasingly tight hug.

“In the future, if you have any questions, please tell me. Please share it with me! I will always listen to you. Don’t keep it to yourself.” She cooed, gently rubbing her head against his firm chest.

“I promise. Perhaps there will be no more problems. I’m sorry.”

Suddenly remembering Daniel’s request last night, Emily immediately sat up straight and told him to lie on her legs, gently massaging his head and pulling out his gray hair.

Amid a luxurious white scene, the image of a man and woman becomes even more romantic. Daniel opened his eyes wide and looked at his fiancee’s delicate face at close range. He felt like no matter how much he looked, it wasn’t enough.

Luckily Ryan called her to his side, otherwise, how could he have experienced such a poetic moment like this?

“Close your eyes so you can relax.” She used her fingers to gently stroke his eyelids and said gently.

The moment he closed his eyes, she leaned down and placed a kiss on the tip of his nose. Time seemed to stop at this moment, for both him and her.

This gentle but extremely sweet and profound way of expressing affection reflects her love for him and his love for her.
