Beloved Old Lover

The peaceful days passed gently. Emily’s married life was extremely satisfying, but there was still one thing that made her sad.

She wanted Jessica to accept her and allow her husband to take her to visit her parents-in-law.

She wants to be filial to her mother-in-law, be able to cook some dishes for her, give her some gifts, and be able to go shopping with her like other mother-in-law and daughter-in-law couples.

Emily also knew that as long as Jessica had not accepted her, there was still a thorn in her husband’s heart that pricked him and made him uncomfortable.

This morning, after having breakfast with his wife, he returned to the big house at his mother’s request. Jessica wants her family to gather on weekends, chat, drink tea, and then eat lunch.

Emily twirled the pen in her hand and made a mark on the calendar on the table. There are only a few days left until the anniversary of the day Kevin and she officially started dating.

She wasn’t sure if he remembered or forgot, but she planned to cook for him herself and organize a small party to surprise him.

“Should I give him a gift?”

Emily whispered to herself, then took her phone, and texted Irene, asking if Irene wanted to go shopping with her.

She still remembers the day she called Irene to inform her that she had become Kevin’s wife. At that time, Irene burst into tears after ten seconds of silence, even asking if she was forced by him.

After a few seconds, the phone screen displayed a message from Irene, telling her that she had time to shop with her until the afternoon.

So, Emily quickly got up from her chair, rearranged the design drawings, took a shower, did some makeup, and then chose a light, simple dress, combined with sneakers.

She didn’t forget to text her husband to notify him and received a reply from him, telling her to just shop comfortably and not save money for him.

“Now I believe that the president of Unicons Group treats you very well.” Irene smiled happily when she saw Emily just getting into the car.

“He’s always been good, but there were incidents…”

“I understand, I’m really happy for you. Let’s go.” Irene spoke up, interrupting Emily’s words.

After carrying her little son to the back seat so he could sit with Emily, Irene slowly drove the car out of the villa area and straight onto the main road, towards the shopping center.

Emily did not take her eyes off Irene’s son. The boy had white skin, two cheeks like two dumplings, was very obedient, opened his eyes wide, and looked at the people next to him, not fussing or crying.

“Do you like to eat fried chicken?” Emily caressed the boy’s chubby cheeks and asked.

“Yes, I like it.” He blushed and answered.

Irene looked through the rearview mirror, laughed, and told Emily to take advantage of having a child to take care of and talk to the baby for fun.

According to what Emily confided, Irene guessed that Kevin did not want his wife to go out and earn money, he was not like Daniel.

Maybe he was afraid that his wife would have a hard time because she had fainted in front of him countless times.

“He and I don’t use any birth control methods. Maybe the baby will come when the time is right.” Emily shyly spoke up.

Because they prioritized children’s interests first, the two women stopped by a restaurant that sold fried chicken and lemon tea and ordered three portions.

Looking at the way Irene took care of every bite of food and sip of water for the boy, Emily’s motherly instinct also emerged strongly.

She also wanted to have a baby soon, although before that, when thinking about this issue, she was very worried and scared, afraid that she would be like her mother, leaving the baby and the baby’s father alone.

After eating, the three of them walked around the shops selling clothes and shoes together.

After choosing for a while, with Irene’s advice, Emily chose a belt as an anniversary gift for her husband. Next, they bought tickets to the cinema to watch a children’s movie.

At this time, Kevin was on his way home because he received a call from Kurt.

Yesterday, Kurt texted Kevin, telling him that he would deliver the goods in the early afternoon but Kevin was so busy that he forgot to tell his wife and now she was running around outside with Irene.

If she had known in advance, she would have definitely stayed at home to welcome the person she called her benefactor.

Standing in front of the villa planted with many white roses, Kurt couldn’t help but admire the love that Kevin had for Emily.

He knew it was the color of flowers, the flowers she loved even though they were monotonous.

Seeing the gate open, Kurt immediately drove in and together with Daisy carefully transported the table and chairs to the place Kevin designated.

As for the lanterns, he asked Daisy to put them away, waiting for Kevin to call someone to install them.

When Kurt finished walking around the villa grounds, the homeowner also returned. Kevin’s radiant face is enough to let the person across from him know that he is very happy with this marriage that has gone through many ups and downs.

“Hello.” Kevin proactively put his hand out as soon as he faced Kurt.

“Hello. Sit down and try it out.” Kurt shook Kevin’s hand and winked, signaling for Kevin to try his product.

Of course, Kevin is very satisfied with the quality and design of the product.

The two men drank afternoon tea and talked, at first about work, the domestic and world economic situation, the political situation, and then turned to talk about the family’s future.

Because Kurt still had to go home and because the road was too far, he couldn’t wait for Emily to come back, so he only sent her a souvenir, a sewing machine made from bamboo and rattan.

“Don’t call her. Don’t make her lose interest.” Kurt raised his hand to stop Kevin when he was about to call to ask if Emily was almost home.

“I’m sorry, I forgot to tell Emily. Okay, one day soon, I’ll take her there to visit you again. Ah, the motel you introduced is good, I like it very much.”

Without an appointment, both men burst into laughter.

Before, when Kurt saw Kevin in the newspaper, he always thought Kevin was a cold, arrogant, and distant person. But now Kurt knows he guessed wrong and Kevin is still close and friendly to those who are his friends and relatives.

That’s right, if Kevin was like his original imagination, how could he get along with Emily who is both gentle, cunning, and stubborn?

It wasn’t until five o’clock that Emily returned home. Seeing the rattan table and chairs, she knew Kurt had come here.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

While she was wondering why he didn’t tell her in advance, Kevin appeared, helped her carry a few big and small bags, and admitted his fault.

“You did it on purpose, right?” Emily squinted her eyes at him.

“No, I forgot. I’m so busy, I only miss you.”

Emily sighed and walked into the house. Kevin followed her around like an errand boy.

She was a bit sad because although her husband was not very old, he had lost his memory.

His memory was so poor, why did she still expect him to remember that distant anniversary?

Perhaps, he had already forgotten. But it’s okay, she will try to remember everything on his behalf.

“Did you save your stomach to have dinner with me or did you already eat outside?” Kevin put down the bags, walked to the front of the wardrobe, and hugged Emily from behind, caressing her flat belly.

“I’m hungry, wait for me to shower, and then I’ll come down and eat with you.”

Although Emily felt that Kevin was a bit annoying, she didn’t dare to ask him to let her go. He kept clinging to her back like a turtle shell while she was choosing clothes to wear.

Because he bought too many clothes, she developed a picky nature. There are days when she likes to wear a white nightgown, so she has to find a white nightgown and not wear any other color nightgown.

When she came out of the bathroom, Kevin was playing with a sewing machine made from rattan and bamboo.

Kurt said he did this for her himself, making Kevin very touched but also a little unhappy. He wondered if Kurt was reminding him not to suppress Emily’s dreams.

“Kurt gave it to you.” Kevin pushed it in front of Emily and said.

“It’s so beautiful. And you, what do you give me?” She held out her hand and asked playfully.

“Huh? What day is it today?” Kevin widened his eyes, and his head quickly searched through the memories between him and her.

Emily glared at Kevin, then approached him, calmly sat on his lap, and wrapped her arms around his neck.

Irene said that a man like Kevin is good prey in the eyes of many young girls, even old ladies, so she told her to proactively express her feelings for him a little more, not to sit still and wait for him to caress her.

Seeing his wife suddenly turn into a kitten, he was a bit confused.

However, the moment Emily placed a sweet kiss on his lips, he knew he didn’t do anything to upset her.

“Today is the thirtieth day since we registered our marriage. To be more precise, we’ve been married for a month now.” Emily left Kevin’s lips and answered gently.

“Ah, that’s fast. Turns out, are you counting the days?” He felt emotional, gently rubbed her cheek, and asked.

“I know you’re busy making money so you won’t remember. Do you mind if I set up too many anniversaries for us?”

“No disturb. In the future, if I forget, please remind me. Come on, sit down on the bed, I’ll dry your hair.”

He gently helped her sit down, then took the dryer, plugged it into the electrical outlet, and dried her hair. The hair he always loved was past her shoulders.

When he saw her with short hair, he was very disappointed because he was used to the image of her with long hair fluttering in the wind.

Today, he once again offered to take her home to visit his parents, but his mother did not agree.

He understood his wife’s thoughts but was helpless. He knew that she really wanted a perfect family and that she also craved a mother’s love.

“Are your parents still healthy?”

“Uh. Still healthy. Dad asked about you and asked me to pack food and bring it home for you.”

He got out of bed, put away the dryer, then took her hand and led her down to the kitchen.

Looking at the dishes he brought home, she smiled emotionally, at least his father accepted her and cared for her.

He made her feel a father’s love, a love she thought she would never receive again.

“Next week, my work will enter a busy period, leaving early and coming home late, so please sympathize with me. Maybe I can’t come back to dine with you often.” He put the boiled shrimp that had just been peeled into her bowl and said.

She was busy chewing so she just nodded as an answer. She understands his job so she won’t blame him.

As long as he comes to sleep next to her every night, that’s enough. If he is too busy, she will bring food to the company to eat with him, after all, she is free.
