Beloved Old Lover

Emily tightened the hem of her coat, trying to calm herself. For a moment, she thought about calling Kevin, but reason stopped her.

She knew clearly that if she proactively contacted him today to ask him to help her, it would be like giving him the green light to come closer to her.

While trying to continue booking a taxi on the app, she suddenly heard footsteps and when she raised her head, she saw a man. He gradually moved closer and looked at her like looking at prey.

Her whole body trembled, and her legs gradually stepped backward. This place was too deserted, the doors were closed, and there was no hope of anyone appearing to save her.

“Girl, how much does it cost at one time?” The man stuck out his tongue, licked around his lips, and asked.

“No… I’m not… I’m not…” She couldn’t speak because she was too scared.

“Why not? You don’t like me, right?”

After saying that, the man immediately rushed towards the girl who was trembling and hugging her body.

However, just as he grabbed her, bright car lights shone right on where they were standing, causing him to reflexively let go of her and turn to look.

Kevin cursed once, then opened the car door, ran over, and grabbed the pervert, beating him.

He punched him in the face and then punched him in the stomach, even wanting to break the man’s hands for daring to touch his woman.

Emily was still shaking, she stood still like a statue, unable to lift her legs, looking up at the two men in front of her.

She thought her life would end today, but Kevin appeared in time and saved her. If she was raped by that guy, she would go crazy and kill herself.

Seeing the pervert being beaten non-stop by Kevin, falling up and down, not even having a chance to open his mouth to ask for forgiveness, Emily quickly ran over and hugged Kevin.

She doesn’t want his life to be tainted by people like this, it’s not worth it at all. She didn’t want him to be sent to prison again.

Even though he is the chairman of Unicons Group, he is still a citizen governed by the law.

“Kevin, that’s enough, he’ll die.”

The man took this opportunity and crawled on all fours into the nearby alley. Kevin also had no intention of beating the man to death, but if that person did something to her, he wouldn’t hesitate to send him to the grave.

Realizing that the girl holding him was shivering, he quickly patted her back to reassure her. Luckily, he was driving behind and saw the taxi carrying her coming back in the opposite direction.

He thought she was somewhere near this area so he deliberately drove slowly, hoping to discover where she lived, but unexpectedly she was abandoned by the driver in the middle of the road and met a pervert.

“Did you rent a room nearby?” He asked.

“No, it’s still far away.” She replied.

“Why did the driver leave the passenger in the middle of the road? Report to the company to handle him.” Kevin pushed her away, his voice filled with anger.

She shook her head repeatedly and explained to him that she was the one who suggested ending the journey early to give the car to a woman and a boy who needed help.

Looking at the stupid girl in front of him, Kevin just wanted to scold her.

She cares about others but doesn’t care about herself. She always worried about others but never worried about him.

“I don’t know what to tell you anymore. Get in the car and let me take you home or call a taxi again?” He squinted at her.

“You took me home.” She bowed her head and answered softly.

He breathed a sigh of relief, took her cold hand, and led her to the car, tucking her into the passenger seat. He felt really worried about her coming days.

Seeing his pensive face, Emily immediately explained that every day Kurt brought her home because the two lived close together.

Because today he had to go to the hospital with the man who worked in the kitchen, she had to take a taxi and only today suddenly someone needed her to give up the taxi to take her son to the emergency room.

“What happened today is just a rare thing.” She turned to him and smiled wryly.

Kevin also didn’t wonder why she was near Kurt because he knew that if the two of them had a relationship more than friends, Kurt wouldn’t have let her go home alone. At least, that man will take her home first, then go to the hospital.

Moreover, last night she stayed with him until morning and did not return to the motel room.

The atmosphere in the car fell silent. Emily suddenly turned her head to look back and her eyes widened when she saw several bottles of wine in the backseat.

Is Kevin addicted to wine? Why does he buy so much wine?

Looking closer, she realized that it was the most expensive brand of wine in the Paradise pub, the quantity was exactly nine bottles.

“Weren’t these bottles of wine returned to the pub yesterday?” She blurted out and asked.

“I bought them. Can also be given as a gift to a business partner.” He answered.

“What’s wrong with you? The price of this wine in pubs is much more expensive than the price in liquor stores.”

“Just consider that I support the place you work. Don’t think too much.”

Honestly, she knows that to the current Kevin, that amount of money is like a drop in the ocean, but somehow she still feels like it was a waste.

The sudden drowsiness that came over her made her yawn long and short. She yawned while giving him directions to drive.

When the car stopped, Kevin’s eyes were immediately attracted to Rollo’s splendid villa. It seems that he can rest assured about the security of this place because no tycoon would choose a place with an unstable security situation to build a project like that.

“Thank you. I… go into the room. Please drive carefully.”

“Do you have any wind oil? My hand… hurts so much…”

As soon as she reached out to open the car door, he spoke. The light from the high-pressure lamp through the car window helped her see his hand, which was red and swollen.

“Yes, then… let’s go in.”

The surrounding scene was deserted, with only the sound of two people’s light footsteps and two long shadows printed on the wall.

At the end of the stairs, Emily quickly walked to her room and inserted the key, opening the door.

After a “click”, the light bulb in the room turned on. She quickly took off her shoes, put down her bag, and went to get a bottle of oil.

Kevin also took off his shoes and entered her living space. The sewing machine and several bags containing fabric and shirts have made this already narrow place narrower.

The bridge of his nose stung and his eye sockets gradually turned red because he felt sorry for her.

The moment he saw the photo of the groom, his heart sank, and choked.

“You sit down on the floor, there’s no dust.”

Kevin was startled and quickly followed her instructions. He knew she liked a neat and clean lifestyle, how could her place be dirty?

Emily also sat down, applied wind oil, and massaged his swelling. She guessed that if Kevin’s hand was so swollen, that man’s internal organs must have been crushed. Let him give up his lewd habit.

“How could you sign the documents if your hand was injured like that?” She sighed, her voice filled with worry.

“No problem. It’s just that the signature is a bit ugly.”

The desk clock showed almost three o’clock in the morning and Emily also noticed the tired look on Kevin’s face.

She didn’t feel secure about letting him drive home, she was afraid he would fall asleep.

Daniel’s accident with her father always made her feel worried and insecure about herself and now she is worried about Kevin.

After a moment of struggling with her thoughts, she opened her mouth and hinted that he could lie down for a bit to get better before going home.

Of course, Kevin never gave up this opportunity. He nodded like he was beating a drum and then quickly lay down on the floor, lying still, closing his eyes as if afraid she would suddenly change her mind.

“Come up here and sleep, it’s cold.”

She patted his shoulder after spreading the thin blanket on the floor and threw him the pillow and blanket.

Next, she went to brush her teeth, then came back, spread the remaining blanket for herself, and lay down.

Irene bought her two sets of blankets and pillows, saying they would make it easier for her to change when doing laundry in the rainy season because she was renting a room so she didn’t use a washing machine or refrigerator. In short, minimize high power-consuming devices.

It seemed that Kevin was tired because while Emily was still awake, the sound of his steady breathing rang out.

Once again, she and he continued to spend the night together in the same room. Could it be that the fate between her and him cannot be broken? Could it be that he and she will continue to be entangled with each other for the rest of their lives?

The two of them were originally lying at a distance from each other, but for some reason, when they woke up, they discovered that they were hugging each other.

“Ah, sorry…” Emily quickly sat up, and backed away, shyly bowing her head.

Kevin had just opened his mouth and before he could say a word, there was a loud knocking on the door from outside.

While both of them were looking at each other with wide eyes, a woman’s head suddenly appeared behind the window bars and called out loudly, startling both him and her.

“Sister-in-law, go out here to get food. This morning I made too many stir-fried noodles with seafood so I gave you some.”

After speaking, the woman suddenly realized there was another man in the room.

While she was wondering who it was, Emily quickly opened the door, ran out, received the box of fried noodles, and thanked her profusely.

“Who’s in there? Is that your boyfriend?”

“Yes… yes.”

It was difficult to explain sleeping in the same room as Kevin, so Emily nodded.

Anyway, Kurt’s sister-in-law hasn’t seen his face yet. She also couldn’t say that he was her late fiance’s brother. She was afraid of affecting him and herself.

“Now I believe Kurt’s words. But don’t worry, I will treat you like my sister and still bring you food.” The woman’s face was slightly sad but her mouth still tried to smile.

When Emily returned to the room, she noticed Kevin’s face darken. He folded up both of their pillows and blankets and sat like someone waiting to eat.

“Sister-in-law?”

“Oh, that’s Kurt’s sister-in-law.”

While putting down the food, she told him about the misunderstanding that happened the day Kurt brought her here to rent a room.

Although Kurt tried his best to explain, his sister-in-law and brother still didn’t believe him, so they kept calling her their sister-in-law.

However, because of Kevin’s presence today, Kurt’s sister-in-law believed that she and her husband’s younger brother were just a relationship between boss and employee.

After listening to Emily’s words, Kevin’s facial muscles slowly relaxed.

“This weekend, I’ll take you to visit the graves of Daniel and your parents.” He suggested.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Yes.” She was emotional and quickly accepted.

Both of them quickly washed their faces, brushed their teeth, and then ate fried noodles together.

Their words and actions did not mention their love, but they now look like a couple gently cultivating this sacred love.
