Beloved Old Lover

The sound of the rain outside was like sad music gradually lulling Emily to sleep. She curled up in a warm blanket, dreaming of her childhood days.

She originally wanted to wait for Kevin to come home, but she fell asleep. The body supplements that Ryan bought for her looked like they contained sleeping pills. In just over a week, she found herself getting fatter.

After two o’clock in the morning, Daisy’s phone rang. When she saw Kevin’s name, she immediately left the room, went out, and turned on the lights in both the living room and the yard.

Knowing he would return today, she didn’t dare sleep, closing one eye and opening the other. His wife is here, of course, he can’t stay at the hotel.

“These were bought by Lisa.” Kevin gave several large and small bags to Daisy and said.

Daisy took them. She was so touched that her eyes turned red. Waiting for Kevin to go upstairs, she turned off the light, returned to her room, and opened the bags to look.

Since working at Unicons Group, her daughter has also paid more attention to her, often buying this and that for her.

Although she always told Lisa not to buy too much, when she received the gift, she was very happy.

The sound of the man’s footsteps walking gently on the stairs, then reaching the hallway and stopping in front of a room.

He reached out to push the door, not daring to turn on the light, but according to what he remembered, groped into the room.

He wondered why his wife didn’t turn on the bedside lamp. It was so dark, how could she find her way to the bathroom in the middle of the night?

He gingerly approached the bed and reached out to touch it, but found it was empty. In a panic, he quickly walked to the edge of the door and turned on the light switch.

There was no wife in bed, and there was no wife in the bathroom either.

Is this girl stupid? She’s married but doesn’t sleep in the same room with him? If he forgot to tell her, she wouldn’t come over to his room to sleep?

His hands quickly unbuttoned each button of his shirt, followed by unfastening his belt.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Even though it was too late, he wouldn’t be able to sleep if he didn’t shower. He felt like road dust was clinging to his body even though he traveled by car.

When Kevin went to the nearby room, Emily also woke up from a dream. Under the dim yellow light, he could only see a round lump curled up on the bed, looking quite adorable.

Unable to restrain himself, as soon as he sat down, he bowed his head and kissed her cheek. The force of the kiss was not too strong, but it was enough to cause Emily pain.

Reflexively, she groaned, straightened her hand, and pushed away the person who hurt her, then sat up, staring at the guy crawling up on the floor.

“I thought you were sound asleep. Why do you attack your husband like you’re attacking an enemy?” Kevin grimaced, groaned, and asked.

“You… is that you? I’m just defending myself.”

After a “click”, the light quickly turned on. The sudden light that appeared blinded Emily and she had to cover her face with her hands.

However, she had no intention of lowering her hand because she suddenly remembered her swollen face.

Kevin approached and squinted at her for a long time. Just as he was about to grab her hand, she quickly lay down and covered herself with the blanket.

“Please turn off the light so I can sleep. Why do you turn on the lights in the middle of the night?”

After saying that, Emily yawned. She has decided that she will sleep from here until he goes to work and before he returns, she will crawl back under the blanket and continue to sleep, try for a few more days, and her face will return to normal.

She was praising herself for being so smart when suddenly a cold wind blew into the blanket and very quickly, the blanket was pulled away by Kevin.

“Go to my room to sleep. Now that we are husband and wife, we cannot sleep separately.” He gently touched her shoulder, shaking her.

“Dislike. I’ve been lying down for a while so it’s warm here, but it’s cold in that room. Please lie down here.” She was still stubborn, sticking to the mattress.

“When you go to that room, I’ll hug you. There’s a heater so it’s even warmer, so why is it cold?”

After saying that, he forcefully pulled her towards him and he was almost motionless when he saw her swollen and purple face, the corner of her lips still had crusted cracks.

Emily quickly sat up, and curled up, her eyes showing fear as she looked at the person opposite.

“Your face…” His voice trembled, and his eye sockets also turned red.

“I fell, I was careless, and fell down the stairs.” She quickly explained.

“I’m not an idiot. If you say you fell, then I’ll let the maid quit tomorrow. She can’t even do the job of looking after you.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up. Emily panicked, quickly rushed after him, grabbed his hand, and pulled him back.

Daisy took very good care of her, and as she was old, she wouldn’t have found a better place to work than this.

Seeing Emily’s eyes filled with tears, Kevin’s anger gradually subsided, leaving only sadness. He quickly sat down and gently touched her cheek.

“My mother beat you, right?”

Emily nodded, tears falling like rain. Kevin took a deep breath, moved closer, and gently hugged her.

Why would his mother hurt Emily? Isn’t she afraid that her son will be heartbroken? Emily is his other half, if she hurts then he hurts too.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry for not being able to protect you. But don’t worry, I guarantee this will never happen again. Believe me.” Kevin caressed her back lightly, as if afraid she would break.

“Don’t… don’t argue with your mother.” Emily’s voice was choked.

“I won’t argue, just talk. Come on, go back to that room and sleep.”

After lightly kissing the top of Emily’s head, Kevin wiped her tears, picked her up, and brought her to his room.

He sat and looked at her swollen cheek for a long time. Only when she urged him to go to sleep did he turn off the light, lie down, and hug her in his arms, his hands constantly rubbing her face gently as if to soothe the pain.

The scent of his body was both familiar and pleasant, along with this affectionate gesture and warm feeling that helped her quickly fall asleep.

However, her man couldn’t sleep. He wanted to stay up all night, enjoying the feeling of having her in his arms. There was a time when he thought that this love affair had no hope.

At seven o’clock in the morning, the rain stopped. Emily snuggled deeply into Kevin’s arms and continued to sleep, ignoring him as he placed small kisses scattered across her hair.

“Ah, what time is it? Why don’t you go to work?” She suddenly remembered, looked up at him, and asked softly.

“No. Today I will stay home with you. I spend today for you. But where do you want to go for your honeymoon?” He gently stroked her face, his eyes still filled with sadness.

“My face is so ugly, where should I go? Furthermore, you are also tired. Just stay home.”

Kevin shook his head, told her she was still beautiful, then went to the suitcase and took out a velvet box. Emily was still lying on the bed, watching his every move.

Seeing him hold her hand and put the ring on, she said nothing.

“Put it on for me.” Kevin gave her the remaining ring and suggested.

“Didn’t you say this was a secret marriage?” She pouted.

“My mother already knows, so there’s no need to keep it a secret anymore. Furthermore, everyone only knows that I’m married, so they can’t find you if you don’t want to.”

Emily nodded, sat up, and carefully put the ring on Kevin’s finger. Since receiving the marriage certificate, she also took off the engagement ring that Daniel wore for her.

Perhaps, it’s time for her to let go of Daniel and let him go peacefully. If there is an afterlife, she hopes to see him again in a relationship without tragedy.

Both of them continued to hug each other and sleep a little longer, then got up from bed, went down to have breakfast, then went to the pool, soaked their feet in the cool water, enjoyed the breeze, sunbathed, and drank coconut water.

Emily feels that this villa of her husband’s is no different from a resort, the air here is cool and fresh, and there is no noise.

She wanted to open her mouth to ask him about Lisa, but the words that reached her lips were swallowed.

Maybe because that girl resembles her, she thinks too much. With Kevin’s position and job, he will meet many talented and beautiful girls.

In the end, he still chose her to be his wife.

“Do you want to eat dumplings or something? I’m going out this afternoon to do something, I’ll buy it for you.” Kevin caressed each of her long fingers and asked.

“You’re going to see your mother, right?”

“Uh. Don’t worry! Anyway, my mother already knows, so I need to explain everything clearly. At most, this cheek will look like you, with the appearance of a husband and wife.”

“You crazy person. If you come back, buy me rice paper mixed with lots of dried beef.”

“Of course, I have to go back. Where the wife is, the husband must be there.”

Although Kevin used a humorous tone to reassure Emily, she was still very worried. She was afraid that Jessica would faint again. She just hopes he can choose the words to convince his mother to accept her like Daniel did.

At exactly four o’clock in the afternoon, the car driven by Kevin also left the villa and drove straight onto the street.

Emily stood on the second floor, watching the car flicker through the green trees.

It wasn’t until she could no longer see the car that she returned to the room, opened his suitcase, hung the clean clothes in the closet, and put the dirty clothes in the laundry basket.

Usually, when he goes on a business trip, he gives his clothes to the hotel staff for laundry. This is also part of their service when customers request it, so there are only two sets of clothes that need to be washed.

“One, two, three, four…”

Counting back and forth for a while, Emily still saw that one outfit was missing, so she was extremely surprised.

If Kevin only lost a shirt or a pair of pants, she would think he was careless and left them at the hotel. However, he lost his entire set of clothes, including a shirt, pants, and vest, only his underwear was enough.

“What’s up? Kevin didn’t lose his memory, how could he lose his entire suit?”

Emily wanted to call Kevin to ask, but when she looked at the clock, she guessed he had already arrived home, maybe even talking to his mother, so she had to put this question aside.

If she remembered correctly, it was one of the suits she made for him when he arrived on the north side of the city.

While Emily was thinking of situations similar to those in the story: some perverted partner would steal her husband’s clothes or ask her husband to give him the clothes before cooperating, Kevin had just turned the car into the big gate.

Seeing his mother and the housekeeper sitting in the small thatched hut, he immediately approached and knelt before the surprised eyes of her and Mary.

After Jessica waved her hand, Mary bowed and entered the villa.

“Mom, I’m sorry for getting married without informing you.” He bowed his head and spoke.

“She complained to you, right?”

“No. But mom, if you hit her, it’s no different than if you hit me. I am very heartbroken.”

Seeing her son burst into tears just because his wife was beaten by her, she was speechless. She only slapped Emily once, did her son need to cry like that?

However, when Kevin showed a photo of Emily sleeping with her cheek swollen and purple, Jessica immediately felt a bit cruel. How could she know that girl’s skin was so thin?
