Chapter 107: Suspicious
“Let’s sit down and talk.” Jessica frowned, looking at her son with a helpless expression.
“Yes.” Kevin replied and did as she said.
These past few days, because she listened to her husband’s advice a lot, her dislike for that girl was reduced by half. She no longer wanted to stop Kevin, but she didn’t want to see Emily. It’s best not to see, say hello or visit.
After all, at first, she liked and loved Emily, but every time she saw Emily or heard about Emily, Daniel’s pitiful image appeared in front of her, making it impossible for her to calm down.
“Okay, I won’t interfere in your love life anymore, but I also won’t accept that girl as my daughter-in-law. So, even if you come to visit me, don’t bring her back here.”
“Mom…”
“This is my final concession to keep our family at peace.”
Jessica’s eyes and determined tone made Kevin unable to say anything more, so he nodded in approval.
He believes that after a while, the sadness will truly subside and his mother will love Emily again. He believes that if Emily gives his mother a grandchild, either a nephew or a niece, his mother will certainly love her child and also love the child’s mother.
“Let’s go home and eat. From now on, we won’t have many meals together anymore.”
Jessica said, then stood up and walked into the main door. Kevin could sense her sad mood through that voice.
If his mother and his wife got along, he would bring Emily back here to live and take care of his parents with him, but right now the two of them need to avoid each other to avoid more unhappy and painful things happening.
He took his phone and texted Emily, telling her to eat first and not wait for him.
The dining table was quickly set up. Usually, at this time, Jessica and her husband have not had dinner yet, but today, she wanted to eat a little early so that Kevin could go home to rest.
Looking at his listless, haggard face, she knew he hadn’t gotten enough sleep.
“Is work going well? Why did you suddenly stay a few more days?” Matthew asked slowly.
“Everything’s fine, there were a few problems but they’ve been resolved satisfactorily.” Kevin smiled, reached out to pick up a piece of meat, and put it in his bowl.
“No matter what you do, you must pay attention to your health. We only have you left.” Jessica reminded.
“Yes.”
After the meal ended, Kevin stayed and chatted with his parents for a while longer before driving to the place that sold mixed rice paper that Emily liked, bought it for her and Daisy, and then drove straight home.
Just now, he boldly asked his mother how she knew what happened between him and Emily and she showed him the message. It turned out that he mistakenly sent the message to her instead of his wife.
In the text message, he asked Emily if she was familiar with the wedding house.
At that time, he was surprised because he did not see this message when he checked the conversation history between him and her.
He thought he made a mistake and hadn’t sent it yet, so he texted again. He didn’t realize he had sent it to his mother. He even suspected Daisy and Lisa. What a sin.
When Kevin entered the room, Emily was hugging her pillow, sitting blankly on the bed.
He walked over, put the bag of mixed rice paper on the table, sat down, and gently touched her face.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
“How’s mom?” She asked softly.
“Ah… Mom won’t interfere anymore. I think my mother needs more time to accept you as her daughter-in-law.”
He retracted his hand, sighed, and blamed himself for not being careful and revealing his marriage, making his wife suffer.
However, Emily comforted him, saying it was good, at least she no longer felt worried, confused, and always ready to run away for fear of being discovered by her mother-in-law.
The problem between her and his mother is time. She was still tormented and felt sorry for Daniel, so she wondered how his mother could easily let it go.
His mother’s thoughts were consistent with the majority that if Daniel had not stopped by the Wine company to pick James up for lunch, he probably would not have had an accident.
“Just now, I was arranging clothes for you and discovered that a whole set of clothes was missing. Did you forget it at the hotel?” She tightened her grip on the pillow, looking at him with a tense expression.
“Ah, I went out to eat with a business partner, and the waiter carelessly spilled sauce on it. It was difficult to clean it, so I threw it away.”
Emily lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes drooping down. She knew Kevin was rich, throwing away a few more expensive suits wouldn’t have any effect on his finances, but she measured, cut, and sewed that suit for him.
Kevin quickly noticed that her expression had changed and quickly remembered that the outfit was one of the outfits she had made for him.
At that time, he was in pain, missed her, and worried so he didn’t think much, he just didn’t want his clothes to be stained with another girl’s blood.
He didn’t want to tell her that he was in trouble abroad. With her nature, she would be worried and watch him with wide eyes every night to see if he had any complications or not.
“Later, you will make me new clothes. From now on, I will only wear the clothes you make, I don’t need to buy anymore.” He held her hand, caressed and comforted her.
“Go take a shower and go to bed early.”
Emily moved to the edge of the bed, reached for the bag of mixed rice paper, and started eating.
Looking at her, Kevin saw that she looked like a white rabbit eating a carrot, extremely adorable and innocent.
If it weren’t for his whole body still aching and afraid that she would think he was old, he would have eaten her. In his eyes, she is the most beautiful creature in the world.
“Don’t you want to take a bath?” She looked at him with wide eyes and asked.
“Oh, I’ll go right now.”
The sound of water being flushed echoed in the bathroom. Kevin frowned as he looked at his back reflected in the mirror.
The bruises have faded, but it will probably take a few more days for him to confidently perform his duties.
He hoped this time would be enough for Emily to mentally prepare. The feelings she said had faded, he would slowly help her rekindle them.
He is confident in his appearance, status, and money. He knows she loves romantic novels and he is the main male role model in them, of course, she will fall in love with him.
Both people are close to each other day and night, of course, love will appear again.
When Kevin came out, his little wife was curled up in the blanket, her hands constantly working on her phone.
His eyes are quite good, so even at a distance, he could still see that the website she was viewing was related to fashion and apparel.
He knows she has her passion, but he doesn’t want her to work hard. She also has to take care of her health so she can get pregnant and give birth in the future.
“Go brush your teeth. Kevin spoke gently.”
“I already brushed my teeth. I just ran to the next room.” She replied.
“Wait a few more days, I’ll take you back to the dorm to get your things. I also want to go to the mountains to breathe fresh air for a few days.” He said as he squeezed hand lotion onto his hands and rubbed them.
“I have a sewing machine…”
“Then let me drive the pickup truck. Come on, let’s sleep.”
Kevin reached out and took Emily’s phone, turned it off, and strode to the light switch. The room suddenly returned to a semi-dark scene.
Emily was a little nervous, clutching the bed sheet tightly. When she felt the mattress behind her back sink, she almost held her breath and when his cold arms hugged her waist, her heart seemed to stop beating.
After a while, there was no further movement from the person next to her, which surprised her a bit, and when she heard his steady breathing, she was completely bewildered.
A dreamless night. When Emily woke up, she saw Kevin standing in front of the large mirror, slowly buttoning the button on his cuff.
White shirts and dark pants are always the outfits that accompany him the most. He also has colored shirts but it seems like he only wears them four or five days a month.
Seeing Kevin holding the tie, Emily immediately left the bed and went to help him.
This wasn’t the first time she’d tied his tie. However, this was the first time she tied a tie for him as his wife and also the first time she tied a tie for him after many years of separation, so he was extremely emotional.
Before falling in love with her, he only thought that after graduating, he would apply to a certain company and work for a living.
But from the moment he accepted her confession, to be more exact, from the moment she tied him a tie so he could speak on behalf of the students, he had different thoughts.
He wants to become a businessman, a person with a certain status in society to be able to give her the best.
And when his parents found him, he was brought right back to the finish line.
“Done.” She caressed his collar, smiling with satisfaction.
“Thank you. Go, wash your face, and come down to have breakfast with me.”
“Yes. Please go down first.”
Continuing the family tradition, Kevin also wants to maintain breakfast with the members of his small family.
His father said the meals seemed simple but had a bond, helping to strengthen the bond between members.
Five minutes later, Emily appeared in the kitchen. She sat opposite him and ate with him. Now and then, she raised her head and observed her man.
She wondered if he thought she couldn’t adapt to this marriage so he suppressed his primal desires.
Everyone knows what a normal man will do after more than a week away from his wife. Furthermore, they were newlyweds and he left her behind to go make money on their wedding night.
“Just eat slowly, I have to go to work.” Kevin put down his spoon and pulled out a tissue to wipe his mouth.
“Have a lucky day.”
After speaking, she bent down again and continued to nibble on the ribs.
Kevin originally intended to force Emily to give him a morning kiss, but looking at her greasy mouth, he had to swallow his words back in his heart.
Maybe tomorrow morning, he has to force her to kiss him before eating.
It seems that the tonic that Ryan bought for her was effective. When he hugged her, he felt like she was fatter than when he brought her home.
The car slowly left the garage and headed out the gate, then sped down the road.
Kevin looked at his hand on the steering wheel and smiled. He couldn’t imagine that he would get married at such a rocket speed. Maybe he should thank Venn, thanks to Venn buying that mountain, he has a wife.
As soon as Kevin entered the main lobby, Sara appeared and walked with him, quickly reporting the day’s schedule.
His day will be filled with three meetings and many documents that need his signature.
“Is Venn okay these past few days?” He strode and asked.
“Still breathing, sir.” Sara answered humorously.
