Beloved Old Lover

In just one week, the wedding between Daniel and Emily will be held, and in just a few days, Venn will return to his position, which means that Emily will no longer be Kevin’s assistant.

In recent times, many things have happened between her and Kevin, love and hate, but in the end, she knows he still treats her well, dedicated to teaching her work-related issues. Therefore, she felt sad when the time to leave the general manager’s office was approaching.

“Tomorrow afternoon you have an invitation to SM Investment Company’s year-end party.” Emily held up the invitation card and said.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

“Oh. I forgot. I thought I would be free on Sundays.” He said, his hands still working continuously on the computer keyboard.

Emily smiled sadly, put down the invitation card, and continued to arrange documents. At the end of this year, her life will turn a new page, she will get married and become a mother.

These past few days, Daniel has been clinging to her even more. Every afternoon after work, he stayed at her house until dark, drawing beautiful plans for the future with her.

But why did her heart still ache so much when she suddenly saw Kevin’s lonely appearance?

Just a week ago, during a family meal, when Daniel asked him why he didn’t invite his girlfriend to his house, he said he broke up with Emma because of personality differences and irreconcilability.

“Have you invited anyone to be your companion tomorrow?” She mustered all her courage, raised her head to look at him, and asked.

“No need, I usually don’t dance when I attend parties, I just sit and gossip with the old guys.”

He also raised his head, smiled, and said, then looked down very quickly. He felt like she was pitying him.

He originally planned to inform them after Daniel’s wedding that he had broken up with Emma, but he felt that telling them a little sooner would not affect his brother and Emily’s marriage.

She sighed softly and looked into space. That day, because she saw him and Emma arrive at the hotel, she successfully shook off her remaining hope and accepted Daniel’s feelings.

She didn’t expect that he and Emma would meet like duckweed and water. Every time she remembers the scene where he burst into tears and said that he never stopped loving her, her heart aches.

Is that why he and Emma stopped? Is it because his heart is still attached to the old image so he can’t force the person next to him to accept it?

The rushing thoughts made her head hurt a bit. She wondered if she was committing a serious sin when she was about to become Daniel’s wife but still could not forget her old lover.

It’s not that she doesn’t want to forget, it’s that she can’t forget. Whether a breeze or a falling leaf makes the sweet and bitter memories of the past come back to her and torment her every second.

The clock hands accidentally turned and when it was time to get off work, Emily looked at the man who was diligently approving documents.

This afternoon, she ordered food for him and then went out to eat with Daniel, but when she came back, the food was only half gone.

“Kevin, aren’t you coming home?” She mustered up the courage to ask.

“You go home first, I’m almost done, go ahead.”

“Then I’ll go first.”

Although he kept his eyes glued to the stack of documents and did not look at her when answering, when the sound of her heels faded, he raised his head and turned his sad eyes to the door, where the slender figure of the girl he loved was disappearing.

There are no words that can describe his mood right now, cold, empty, and almost disoriented.

“Is it raining already?”

He quickly left the swivel chair, ran to the glass window, and looked down at the yard that was gradually being wet by raindrops.

Colorful umbrellas crowded together to create a very poetic, romantic, and sad scene.

He misses her already. He misses the peaceful days at the university. He misses those rainy nights in that shabby motel room.

She is like a candle that warms the whole room. She always obediently listened to him scold her for being stupid, smiled happily when he showed her how to solve math problems, then leaned her head on his shoulder, looking out at the quiet, wet night, weaving beautiful dreams about the future with him.

“Emily, do we have tomorrow? I… what should I do now? What can I do with myself?”

Raindrops accidentally hit the glass door, seemingly trying to bring cold air into the already chilly room. The drops of water chased each other, mixed, forming zigzag lines, flowing down before his eyes.

Tears were wet on the man’s cheeks. His tears fell a few times because of happiness, but the rest were all because of pain for himself.

Below, Emily suddenly felt like someone was watching her, but because Daniel was next to her, she didn’t have the opportunity to look for that gaze.

Rain always knows how to make people sad. Even though people are in a happy mood, just one rain falls and the sadness of the past comes back to their hearts one after another.

“What do you want to eat?” She asked as she fastened her seatbelt.

“Rice served with braised fish and sour soup. I will cook braised fish and you will cook sour soup.” Daniel excitedly answered and assigned work.

“Okay. When husband and wife cook together, they will quickly have food to eat.”

“Where does this proverb come from?”

“From me.”

“So cute.”

He gently pinched her rosy cheeks, then turned the steering wheel and drove out the gate.

He originally intended to drive the car closer to the porch so she could get in, but because there were so many employees holding umbrellas, he had to park in the middle of the yard and bring an umbrella to cover her so she could get out.

Daniel has no sad memories of rainy days, rain is like a blessing to him, drawing people closer to others.

When the car stopped at the traffic light, he reached out and grabbed the girl’s cold hand, causing her to startle and turn to look at him, no longer watching the small streams of water flowing on the car’s windshield.

“Your hands are so cold. I turned on the heater but your hands are still cold.” He squeezed her hand, speaking with helplessness.

“My hands are cold to keep our love warm.”

Not knowing what else to say, she temporarily borrowed a line from the song to answer him and successfully made his face brighten. Turns out, this youngest boy is very easy to coax.

The couple lovingly looked at each other, feeling the love the person next to them had for them through their eyes. Both of them hope that there will be no more trouble surrounding their love. They want to be at peace, without needing challenges to see how strong this love is.

However, a life without rapids and storms is not life.

Neither he nor she could have imagined that the lavish party tomorrow afternoon would cause them both to separate, go on two intersecting paths, and separate forever.

And the person who caused this was no stranger, it was the girl who was leisurely enjoying afternoon tea in the tea shop where their car had just passed by.

SM Investment Company is a company specializing in investing in companies with the potential to exploit the real estate, tourism, and resort markets. Of course, GE Corporation is also one of their major partners.

The year-end party fell on the day Brian flew abroad on business, so Jennifer asked her father for permission to let her accompany him.

Through a few old receptionists, she knew that two invitation cards had been sent to two golden dragons of the Unicons group.

Although the leaders of SM company worked directly with Kevin, they loved Daniel very much after the time he took them out to eat and go out on behalf of his brother.

Therefore, they asked him to attend the company’s year-end summary party, and noted in small letters on the cover of the invitation card that if he did not come, it would have a small impact on the cooperation between the two sides.

“What’s up? You said there wouldn’t be a next time.” Reid spoke in a mocking voice as soon as he pulled out the chair and sat down.

“Do you want to do it?”

“Of course, I’ll do it.”

Like last time, Jennifer pushed the thick envelope towards Reid and told him what he needed to do tomorrow night.

She knew clearly that Daniel would bring Emily along because, at the end of the party, there was a dance performance. Both of them are about to get married, so regularly appearing romantically in public is also a way to strengthen people’s beautiful view of the Unicons group.

“Don’t worry, this job is much easier than the previous one. If you do a good opening, I will create a perfect ending.”

“Try to do well. If you can’t even show your manhood, you’re nothing more than trash.”

After saying that, Jennifer took out a room card, threw it to Reid, and stood up. He picked up the room card, looked at it, and stroked his chin.

After all, he was a man, and in front of Emily’s beauty, he was a little shaken. Now that something good had come to him, why wouldn’t he do it? It would bring money and satisfy his desires.

Although Jennifer’s previous money helped make his life more stable, this time the reward was bigger, of course attractive, equal to all his years of hard work, not less.

Luckily at that time, the chandelier didn’t fall on Emily, otherwise, Jennifer wouldn’t have hired him again.

Leaving the tea shop, Jennifer drove straight to a small store to pick up goods. She held the small packet of medicine in her hand and wondered what the success rate was.

Thinking about it for a while, she decided to buy a bottle of perfume with similar effects and then drove to the hair salon to retouch her beauty for tomorrow’s party.

“Emily, good things cannot come to you all the time. Try to have fun and be happy today. If Daniel accepts you after watching the video then I will give in and admit you are a lucky star.”

Even though Emily’s marriage partner is Daniel, not Kevin, Jennifer still doesn’t want the wedding to take place.

She knew clearly that she no longer had the chance to be with Kevin and no longer intended to use any means to be with him. She just wants Emily to be crushed, unable to be happy, and unable to step foot into the Unicons group.

Once she gets the sex video between Emily and Reid, no matter how much Daniel loves his future wife, he cannot marry her because of pressure from family and public opinion, unless he leaves the Unicons group.
