Beloved Old Lover

Finally, the weekend has arrived. Early in the morning, Kevin took Emily out of the north side of the city to the south side of the city to visit the graves of her parents and his younger brother.

From the day she allowed him to go to her room to sleep, every night, he went to the pub, drank a cocktail, waited for her to get off work, then took her home and spent the night in her room.

Although Emily didn’t want him to spend his rest time with her, she said he wouldn’t listen so she didn’t object to him anymore.

After buying a few bouquets of white chrysanthemums, Kevin drove to the cemetery.

It’s been more than three months since Emily came here, so her feelings now are very difficult to describe: missing, looking forward, happy, sad, everything.

She placed flowers on her parents’ graves and stood silently for a long time. She silently told them that she was living very well, had enough food to eat, enough clothes to wear, and no longer worried too much.

The moment she arrived at Daniel’s grave, she also tried to control her emotions, trying not to cry even though her eyes were red and her nose was stinging.

“Daniel, I brought Emily to visit you.” Kevin placed flowers on his younger brother’s grave, his voice lowered.

Because Kevin wanted Emily to have private space with the deceased, after lighting incense, he said he needed to make a phone call and left.

The moment the sound of his shoes faded away, her tears also fell. More than a hundred days have passed since Daniel passed away, but the dreamlike moments he weaved for her seem like they happened just yesterday.

Among the autumn trees that were shedding their leaves that day, the warm and kind boy stopped by the canal and reached out to her, giving her a love that had an incomplete ending.

After half an hour, Kevin returned. He was speechless when he saw her stroking the ring on her finger, her eyes looking toward the distant horizon.

When he met her again, she wasn’t wearing any jewelry other than this engagement ring, and she wasn’t even wearing the bracelet he gave her.

“Let’s go somewhere to have breakfast.” He spoke up, breaking the silent atmosphere.

She nodded and followed him to the car. There was almost no one in the cemetery in the early morning, only the sound of his and her footsteps could be heard.

The morning dew has not yet dissipated, the sun is not yet warm enough and the winds still carry a bit of the loneliness of the night caressing the resting place of those who have passed away.

“This restaurant recently opened. This place sells very delicious and fresh seafood hotpot. Each shrimp is bigger than a thumb.” He stopped the car in front of a small restaurant and said.

“You don’t eat shrimp.” She replied as she unfastened her seat belt.

“Mainly buy it for you to eat.”

When the restaurant owner saw two guests coming, she invited them inside.

Kevin came here a few times and always ate hot pot without shrimp, so she also remembered his face. But mostly it’s because he’s so handsome, he dresses all in branded clothes, otherwise, it’s also tailor-made clothes, his car is a limited edition, and he stands out among the average income diners.

Just like before, he proactively peeled shrimp for her and took good care of her eating and drinking.

He had wanted to peel shrimp for her all his life, but too many incidents had happened and now he was confused, not knowing if he could fulfill that wish.

He didn’t even dare to hint at his feelings for her because he was afraid she would feel pressured and leave him again.

If she is not ready to enter married life with him, then he is willing to keep this relationship with her forever.

They can meet when they want to meet and be together when they want to be together, without being hindered or limited by other men.

“Do you want to go for a walk somewhere? Shopping mall or…”

“I want to find somewhere to sleep. This morning I woke up a little earlier than usual but now I’m so sleepy.” She shook her head.

“I know there’s an ideal place. After eating, I’ll take you there.”

The plate of shrimp quickly emptied and Emily’s belly became full. The feeling of being full makes her sleepier.

After paying, Kevin took her to the newly renovated park. Here, there are huts with thatched roofs, hidden under dense foliage, overlooking the blue lake, with hammocks, tables, and chairs.

“You go to sleep, I’ll work for a while.” Kevin put the laptop on the table and said.

The cool breeze, green trees, grass, and a hut evoke the image of the countryside, which is truly ideal as he said.

She nodded slightly, lay down on the hammock, covered her face with her jacket, and closed her eyes.

Her jacket was made of thin fabric, so occasionally she opened her eyes to peek at the man focusing on the computer screen. His appearance when working is still the same, focused and serious.

A few minutes later, she completely fell asleep.

When Kevin closed his computer, it was already past noon. He stretched and looked at the girl wearing a coat over her head, smiling slightly.

The scene was so peaceful and happy that he just wanted time to stand still right now.

Leaving the chair, he lay on the hammock near her, looking out at the lake sparkling with sunlight.

Waiting for Emily to wake up, he took her to lunch and then took her back to the north side of the city.

Fortunately, he found a shortcut, shortening the travel time between two places, otherwise, he would have been very tired from driving too much.

He also can’t ask his assistant to come with him while he’s out flirting with a girl, not for work.

Moreover, no matter how strong Sara is, she is still a girl, so how can she accompany him all night?

“You’re tired all day, so don’t go to the pub tonight, Kurt will take me home.” Emily turned to Kevin and said.

“Okay. Next time, if you take a taxi, don’t get off halfway. At best, you go with them, go to places where there are many people, then get out and take another taxi.”

“Yes.”

Although Kevin wanted to hug Emily or just hold her hand to say goodbye, he didn’t dare and could only wave.

Watching her shadow disappear on the stairs, the feeling of longing rose in him again.

Will love fade over time? He felt that wasn’t right. As the years passed, his feelings for her grew more and more, to the point that even when he was with her, he still missed her so much that it wasn’t enough to satisfy his desire.

Even though she told Kevin not to come over, at night, after work ended and she didn’t see his figure leaning against the car waiting for her, she felt sad and when she returned to the room, she felt extremely empty.

Could it be that after just a few nights of having him in her life, she had already formed a habit?

She sat next to the window, looked at the magnificent villa opposite, and imagined his family’s villa, where, on the balcony, a man was standing looking to this side.

She didn’t know that what she imagined was reality. Kevin is also missing her very much but has to send his words of love to the wind and clouds because, until this moment, he has not even dared to open his mouth to ask for her contact number.

After a sleepless night, Kevin went to Unicons Corporation with a not-very-bright face.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

When he passed by the deputy general director’s office, Venn suddenly appeared, and greeted him and Venn quickly noticed that his eyes had dark circles.

“Oh, boss, have you been staying up all night to work lately? Haven’t you already shared your work with me?” Venn spoke up to tease the young boss.

“Not everyone stays up all night to work.”

“Oh, I know, you go to the north side of the city every night, right?”

Kevin didn’t nod or shake his head, just patted the shoulder of the person opposite him and leisurely walked back to the office.

Today, he went to work too early, so Sara hasn’t come to the company yet. His family’s breakfast time has also been adjusted earlier because his father wants to take his mother out every day to sightsee, enjoy the fresh air, or visit charity facilities.

His father wanted his mother to ease her grief and ease the pain of losing her son.

Venn’s last question reached Lisa’s ears as she walked over. She wondered if Kevin went to see Emily every night.

Didn’t her mother say that that girl didn’t want to marry him, so she ran away? If that’s true, then after that meeting, Emily should have quit her job at the pub and continued to avoid him, right?

She didn’t think that Kevin would run around the streets on the north side of the city looking for Emily.

After thinking for a long time, Lisa decided to go to the Paradise pub tonight to see if her guess was correct or not.

If Emily, because of her hardships, thinks clearly and wants to fall into Kevin’s arms, she will no longer have the opportunity to become the wife of the president of Unicons Group.

In the president’s office, Kevin began sitting at the desk and approving documents.

Unicons Group’s project to expand into the fashion industry had to be temporarily suspended because Daniel, also the main person in charge, passed away.

Furthermore, after several stressful meetings, the board of directors decided to spend money to invest in tourism and resorts in pristine mountain and sea areas.

“Why did you go to work so early today? Why do your eyes have so many dark circles?” Sara looked intently at her boss’s face and asked.

“What’s today’s schedule?” He did not answer but asked her back.

“At nine o’clock you have a meeting with the project board of directors, at two o’clock in the afternoon you have a meeting with the director of ELV company and at four o’clock you have a quick meeting with the marketing department. Ah, the director of ELV company asked if you could arrange to have dinner with him.”

“Okay, tell him in advance that I don’t drink alcohol, only eat.”

“Yes.”

Sara happily replied and then carried the stack of documents to the meeting room to put them on the table, and at the same time checked the sound system and projector.

As the president’s assistant, she is forced to know almost everything related to this corporation. Of course, she cannot understand it deeply, but she must know the basics.

During the past few days, her talented boss had always refused dinner appointments, or let Venn represent him.

If it weren’t for the fact that the ELV director repeatedly offered to invite Kevin through her, he probably would have refused.

Could it be that he is so exhausted that he has to take time to rest?

In the afternoon, after leaving the company, Kevin went to eat with his partner for an hour and a half and then drove to the north side of the city.

He didn’t know that Lisa had gotten there before him and was sitting in the cafe across from the Paradise pub. She chose a fairly open sitting position, so she could see the activities in front of the pub.

When it was nearly seven o’clock at night, the car driven by Kurt appeared and Lisa easily recognized the girl getting out of that car as Emily.

A bit of hope flashed in her heart when she saw the girl she considered her rival walking with a tall man who looked just as handsome as Kevin.

“Maybe that man is her new lover.” Lisa took a sip of orange juice and whispered.
