Beloved Old Lover

At first, Kevin planned to run to Lisa’s residence, but thought again and again, in the end, he called Venn and told him to call two more people to bring her back here so he could interrogate her.

His wife had just donated bone marrow, so he couldn’t leave her alone at home, and he didn’t feel secure if he took her with him.

“Emily, sit down here and I’ll slowly explain to you. I swear, nothing has happened between me and Lisa that violates morality, and my heart has no room for her, it’s all for you.”

Witnessing his drastic actions, Emily had a bit of trust so she obediently let him help her sit down.

Kevin pointed to the photo at the airport and confirmed that those were his legs and that he pulled Lisa’s suitcase because her legs were injured after saving him from a terrible accident.

“You never told me about the accident.” Emily spoke up indignantly.

“I’m afraid you’ll worry. During those days, I was in so much pain that my face was distorted and I didn’t have the strength to have an affair.”

When he pointed to the photo of the clothes, he confirmed that he had thrown them in the trash. As for how Lisa got it, he doesn’t know. He can only guess that she picked it up when she saw hotel staff taking out the trash.

“I guess so. When I catch her, I’ll interrogate her later. And this is the day I told you about it, I stopped by to give her a gift and then met some big officials.” He pointed to the photo of the brooch and said.

The most recent photo is the girl’s legs covered with his vest and the girl’s face with his hand on a bed covered with white sheets that look no different from a hotel bed.

Kevin shook his head, sighed, and told Emily that he was not scheduled to work late that day.

However, the unit in charge of selecting the contractor suddenly called him, informing him that the documents of the joint venture of Unicons Group and GE Group had errors and that the price offered by the two groups was higher than the other two units.

Therefore, he and the leaders and assistants of both sides had to work together to edit the documents in time to submit them and the location was his room in the Gold Hotel.

“It was dark at that time, we couldn’t contact the team that made the bidding documents, so the leaders had to do it. By the time we finished, it was around two or three in the morning. I intended to take a nap and then run home with you, but I fell asleep. In the morning, I woke up and saw that Lisa’s sleeping form was a bit revealing, so I covered her with a vest and went to drink morning coffee with Brian. That night your brother was also one of the people sleeping in my room, you can ask.”

Kevin pointed to the adjacent photo and said this was probably the photo taken in the hospital the day he had a fever and lost consciousness, which was the only time he was alone in a room with Lisa.

“Because I’m grateful that she saved me twice, I gave her a birthday gift and treated her well. But I didn’t expect her to use these images to hurt you. I’m sorry, Emily.”

At this moment, the phone bell suddenly rang. Seeing that the caller was Venn, Kevin immediately picked up the phone and was informed by Venn that Lisa had disappeared from the boarding house.

She didn’t bring all her clothes and other belongings, it seemed like she left in a hurry.

Kevin frowned, his face showing annoyance. If he can’t bring Lisa back here, he’s afraid his wife won’t believe him.

But as soon as he turned around, his wife threw herself into his arms and burst into tears.

She regretted that she didn’t believe him and asked in the first place. If she had asked him, the relationship between the two of them wouldn’t have appeared so many cracks. She even wanted to leave him when he had done nothing wrong.

She regrets it, she loves him and needs him. Emma was pregnant before he and she registered their marriage, that was a thing of the past, and he had the right to come and take care of the two children. She would ignore them and give birth to her and his children.

“When will Brian be discharged from the hospital?” Kevin patted his wife’s back and asked gently.

“Weekend.” Emily answered.

“Then you should rest for a few more days to get better and then go visit him with me. Suddenly, my wife’s brother and my wife’s entire family appeared, making me a bit nervous. Have you already told them about my affair with Lisa?”

“No.” She wiped her tears on his shirt and shook her head.

All day long, from morning to afternoon, Kevin did not leave Emily’s side. While he was cooking, he carried her from upstairs to the living room, telling her to lie on the sofa so he could check to see if she had a fever or any other unusual symptoms.

After eating and drinking, he carried her out to the yard to let her get some fresh air before taking her back to bed.

He wanted to scold her for being stupid but couldn’t bear to scold her. If she had asked him frankly, the two of them wouldn’t have tormented each other for so many months.

Resting her head on his arm, looking up at his handsome face, and smelling his masculine mint scent made her feel her heart filled with happiness.

She touched his lips with her hand, then leaned forward and kissed him.

“Does it still hurt?” Kevin touched her back, gently rubbed the place where the needle was stabbed, and asked.

“It hurts.” She nodded and answered.

“Let me rub it a little and the pain will go away. Be good, don’t cry.”

In the following days, Kevin ran his work remotely and did not go to the corporation. Until the end of the monitoring period advised by the doctor, he will not leave his wife for even half a step.

He also called his mother, told her what had just happened, and asked her to send him two maids to come here to take care of his wife.

Of course, Jessica agreed. The appearance of the dragon and phoenix twins erased her hatred for Emily. She also told him that when Emily was completely well, he should arrange to bring Emily back to see her.

“Who would have thought that Lisa was such a pervert? You nearly lost your wife.” Jessica sighed through the phone.

“Yes, I also didn’t expect it. That’s why I asked for someone from you, mother, you choose someone who is single, or only has a son.” Kevin suggested.

“Yes, I know.”

After finishing the call, he happily turned off the computer and went down to cook lunch for himself and his wife.

Emily prepared the food, the cooking was his job. She clung to his back like a turtle shell, talking to him. If he goes right, she goes right, if he goes left, she goes left.

He didn’t feel bothered, on the contrary, he felt happy. He liked her sticking to him like that, liked being bothered by her like that because she was so adorable.

“Let’s go visit your brother this afternoon. Next week I will take you to visit my parents.” Kevin said while stirring the pot of soup.

“Yes. Husband, is it because your mother heard that I was planning to divorce you that’s why she stopped being angry with me?”

“No, maybe mom realized that you are worthy to be her daughter-in-law, not some mean girl like Lisa, and even stupid.”

After eating and resting, Kevin took Emily to the hospital. He didn’t expect that in the few days that Emma was lying here, his wife would also be lying here, yet, he couldn’t see her.

When both of them entered the hospital room, Kent stood up, shook hands with Kevin, and gave space for them to talk.

He felt extremely proud because the chairman of Unicons Group was his son-in-law. His daughter really knows how to choose a husband.

“Get well soon and come back. The middle of next week is the airport construction groundbreaking ceremony, you and I both have to be present.” Kevin helped Emily sit down on the chair and said.

“Yes definitely.” Brian nodded.

The three of them chatted for a while, then Brian asked Emily to go down to the cafeteria to buy him a few bags of pasteurized milk.

She smiled and obediently left, not forgetting to tell him not to show off his authority to her husband.

When the door closed, Brian was silent for a long time then spoke up to apologize to Kevin. Brian told Kevin that the story he was convicted of in the past was more or less related to him.

That year, Brian was still young, and he interacted with a group of unruly young men outside, mainly to ask them to do some things for him that were inconvenient to get involved in.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“One time I was drunk and confided in them my love story, but I didn’t expect them to dare kidnap Emily to bring her to me. As a result, they bumped into you, and both sides fought…”

“Even though I didn’t mean to do it, I’ve still been haunted by it for so many years. While they and I were pushing and shoving, that person suddenly lost momentum, rushed out onto the street, and was hit by a car. There were no cameras there and they said I intentionally killed him. Only later did my biological parents get involved, drag them all out, and then the police took statements, and then I was exonerated. But no one mentioned you. After all, you are not involved, so don’t think too much.”

Even though Brian knew he wasn’t directly involved, the feeling of guilt still stuck with him over the years.

Because of that, the love between Kevin and Emily had to be interrupted and they continued to experience a lot of pain and tears.

After regaining his composure, Brian told Kevin that Emily suddenly went abroad that year in exchange for a condition from her father, which was that her father would save him. However, James did nothing.

“Maybe he wanted to, but before he could do anything, my parents showed up. My adoptive father proactively contacted the Unicons group. He gave the bracelet to them and they quickly came to find me.”

To be honest, Kevin wasn’t angry at the austere man who raised him.

His wife was nine months pregnant when she died in an accident while accompanying him to the city to buy things for the baby.

When he saw the lost boy, he took him back to his hometown to raise him, hid the bracelet, and remained silent for decades even though he knew clearly that the chairman of the Unicons group and his wife were looking for their son.

From then on, he quit his job selling fruit in the city and only worked in the countryside to take care of his adopted son.

Not long after Kevin was picked up by his biological parents, his adoptive father discovered he had terminal cancer.

Although he was diligently treated by doctors at the best hospital in the city, he passed away. His wish was to be brought back to his hometown to be buried next to his wife and children.

“Okay, let’s forget the past, we should look forward to the future.” Kevin spoke up after reminiscing for a while.

“Yes, you two should quickly have a baby. You two have been married for a few months now.” Brian winked mischievously.

“Children are a blessing from heaven. Furthermore, luckily she’s not pregnant. If she gets pregnant, who will donate bone marrow to you?”

At this time, Emily returned with several bags of sterilized milk in her hands. She couldn’t hear their entire conversation, she only heard the last few sentences and their happy laughter.
