Beloved Old Lover

At precisely three o’clock in the afternoon, Emily took a taxi to the city cemetery. White chrysanthemums are always the flowers she chooses to place on the graves of the deceased.

After chatting in front of her parents’ grave, she sat next to Daniel’s grave, leaned her head on it, and closed her eyes.

She wanted to tell him that he had entrusted her to the wrong person, but she couldn’t.

He didn’t know and she couldn’t blame him. He always wanted to give her the best things.

She could no longer lean on that person’s shoulder, so she had to come here to find some comfort.

Until after five o’clock in the afternoon, Emily was still sitting in the cemetery, the wind blew gently and the quiet space made her fall asleep without knowing it.

When she felt a hand patting her shoulder and heard a deep voice calling her, she suddenly woke up.

“Have you been here long? How dare you sleep in a cemetery like this?” Kevin frowned at her but his voice was very gentle.

Emily didn’t answer, she held her hand on the grave and tried to stand up, but in the end, Kevin pulled her up and hugged her for a moment because he realized that her legs were temporarily unable to stand.

When he let her go, he took off his vest and draped it over her shoulders.

“Is your stomach still upset?”

“It’s fine.” She replied as she moved a little to the right, avoiding the hand that was about to touch her stomach.

“Let’s go home, your body is weak, you shouldn’t stay in the cemetery for too long.”

After saying that, Kevin grabbed Emily’s hand and pulled her away. Her feet followed him but her face kept turning to look at the man on the tombstone.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

Life is not long, perhaps she should destroy the relationship that makes her miserable to start a new life, without the presence of a man.

She would go crazy if she remained silent and patient, ignoring everything just to have a refuge.

Although Kevin wanted to take his wife to a restaurant to eat, he was afraid that her stomach would be weak, so he took her home to eat the porridge that Daisy cooked.

During the journey, he continuously talked about the future and his children. He said he would decorate a pink room if she was pregnant with a girl, and if it was a boy, he would give it a blue room.

He also promised to arrange his work so he could be with her more when she had a baby, and also suggested some tourist destinations to go to together at the beginning and near the end of the pregnancy.

However, what he got in response was her silence.

“Emily, I see you’re in a bad mood today. Is there anything you want to confide in me?” Kevin slowed down, looked at her, and asked.

“There will be times when I’m sad but I don’t know why. Don’t pay attention to me, just drive.” Emily replied nonchalantly.

“I thought when I was with you, nothing would make you sad anymore. Turns out you’re not like me.”

“Perhaps I miss my ex-lover.”

When saying this, Emily did not hesitate to turn to look at Kevin. Seeing his slightly gloomy face and seemingly distracted eyes, for some reason she felt very comfortable and very happy.

He has another woman outside and she wants him to remember that besides him, she also has someone to cherish.

She had just mentioned Daniel and his expression was so strange, so what would her feeling when she discovered his betrayal be called?

As soon as the two of them arrived home, Emily went straight to her room, not waiting for Kevin like always.

At the cemetery, she thought she would ask him for a divorce, but now that she thought about it, she was still stuck with Kurt.

Maybe she should pretend to be crazy until the Rural Bamboo company finishes exploiting that mountain and completes all the orders.

She will also tell Kurt to find another source of raw materials and not just rely on Kevin’s empty words to continue growing bamboo and rattan on that mountain.

“Ah…”

A pair of pincer-like arms suddenly grabbed her shoulders as she was about to open the wardrobe.

The strong man turned her around and leaned down to kiss her. His series of actions were so fast and so unexpected that she had no time to react.

By the time she regained consciousness, he had almost taken away her breath.

Her slender, weak arms waved wildly in space, unable to find a single point to hold on to except his waist.

“Don’t… Kevin… I’m tired… I’m very tired now…” She said in a gasp as his lips slid from her neck down to her collarbone.

“Uh. I know. I’m just kissing you.”

After saying that, Kevin gently bit Emily’s white neck, then stood up straight and slowly let her go.

She could see his hazy eyes filled with possessive lust. Originally, his eyes looked very seductive when he wanted to make love, but now, those eyes only made her feel that he was despicable.

He is a promiscuous and greedy person who violates marriage and family laws and tramples on morality.

“You take a shower first, I’ll go prune the rose bushes and then shower later.”

He smiled sadly and quickly turned away.

She hated him, but at this moment, when she saw that tall, thin figure leaving after being rejected by her, she felt pain and numbness.

Maybe he still loves her, but how can she accept sharing his soul and body with another woman?

Love between men and women is always selfish like that. Kevin also knows, right?

She wasn’t stupid enough to not know that what he had just done to her was because he was jealous when she mentioned his younger brother.

Why did she feel so cruel for ignoring him when he was the one who betrayed her first?

When Emily finished showering and was drying her hair, Kevin also returned. He walked over, took the dryer and gently dried her hair.

People say women are like the weather, it seems like he got to experience it today.

A day ago, she was still following him like a puppy, obedient and gentle, but now she acted cold, deliberately mentioning Daniel to anger him.

Even though his younger brother had passed away and he honestly still missed him very much, he was also a man, when he heard his woman say that, how could he not be upset?

One is his wife, and the other is his younger brother, so he can’t be angry, he just feels sad.

He knew that the living could never win against the dead and he had no intention of winning or losing with his younger brother, but he was truly heartbroken when he heard her call Daniel her ex-lover.

“Go take a shower and then go downstairs for dinner.” Emily spoke up but still sat so he could help her.

“Almost done.”

Kevin patiently waited until his wife’s hair was completely dry before turning off the dryer and entering the bathroom.

His father had told him that when his wife was angry, he should be patient and slowly find out the reason why his woman was angry and cold.

Today, he tried to handle the urgent work and then went home early, by the way, going to the cemetery to visit his younger brother.

When he saw her sleeping next to the grave, her head bowed, the incense burned out, he suddenly felt uneasy.

“What… what are you wearing?” Emily blushed when she saw the man walk out with a white towel wrapped around his waist, even shorter than his shorts.

“I forgot to take my clothes, please help me get them.” He said as he wiped his hair.

Quick as a squirrel, she left the chair and ran to the closet.

Her hand that was moving around in the closet suddenly stopped when she heard the phone ringing.

Kevin leisurely walked to the table and picked up the phone. Emily secretly observed the expression on his face.

She wondered if it was Lisa calling him. Why is his forehead getting more and more wrinkled?

“Okay, I’ll be there right away.”

After saying that, he turned off the phone and asked Emily to get him a shirt and pants. His voice was so urgent that she quickly followed his instructions while countless questions appeared in her head.

“Where are you going?” She gave him the clothes, her eyes filled with scrutiny.

“The company’s computer network system has problems, so I have to go there urgently. Just eat dinner and go to sleep first, don’t wait for me.”

Kevin said as he entered the dressing area and closed the curtain. Although he and she are husband and wife, they both agree to have their own rules.

Except when making love, they will respect each other, specifically not changing clothes in front of each other, and when going to the bathroom, they must close the door.

While Kevin was changing, Emily quickly grabbed a discreet dress and ran into the next room.

She didn’t want to allow him to interact with Lisa behind her back. She had to follow him to see if he was telling the truth or not. She was afraid it was just an excuse.

Deep down in her heart she still doesn’t want to lose him, she wants to keep this husband.

The love she had placed in him for so long, so much, how could she let someone else easily take it away?

The moment Kevin opened the curtain and walked out, he thought Emily had gone to dinner, but as soon as he left the room, she rushed forward and grabbed his hand.

“I want to go together.” She said while gasping for breath.

“Okay.” He nodded.

“Go get the car, let me bring some food to eat. We cannot skip meals.”

Emily let go of Kevin’s hand, smiled slightly, then quickly went down the stairs, straight into the kitchen, asking Daisy to help her pack two portions of rice.

Kevin frowned and shook his head at his wife’s constant changes. Could it be that because he helped her dry her hair, she was in a better mood?

To be honest, he didn’t want her to follow him and stay up late, affecting her health, but he was afraid that if he refused her proposal, she would sulk again, and the one who would suffer would be him.

The car slowly left the villa and drove on the road at a moderate speed.

Unless it involves human life. As for other problems, Kevin will not disregard anything and drive fast.

Furthermore, his wife was in the car, so he needed to ensure her absolute safety.

“Does the company also have people working overtime today?” Emily asked.

“Yes, a few departments are staying to work overtime.” Kevin nodded and replied, his eyes still focused on observing the front.

When the car turned into the corporation’s gate, Emily believed that Kevin was not lying.

However, instead, there is fear that the company will be affected by this incident.

After parking the car, Kevin took Emily straight to the IT room. At this time, senior leaders and IT engineers were all gathered here, everyone’s faces showing tension.

Previously, the company’s computer system had a problem once and it took nearly a week to fix it, significantly affecting work progress and resulting in everyone having to work overtime.

“Hello, president, hello, ma’am.” Everyone spoke up at the same time when they saw the most powerful couple of Unicons group appear.

“Uh. What’s up? How’s the situation?” Kevin asked as he approached the deputy head of the IT department.

Everyone immediately spread out and made way for him and his wife.

They had already eaten before working overtime, but when they smelled the food from the boss’s wife’s bag, everyone suddenly salivated and wondered what was in there that smelled so good.
