Beloved Old Lover

Because Emily received a message from Brian, she no longer needed to contact any company or corporation.

According to her preliminary calculations, the price he offered would help the Wine company no longer owe anyone anything after changing ownership. Of course, this house will also be sold to him.

Now, she only lives alone and doesn’t need such a large area. She just wanted to pay off her father’s debts so that he no longer had any debt, so that no one would curse or blame him anymore.

While she was eating a bowl of bird’s nest porridge, there was a noise outside and then the familiar face of Kevin appeared, making her a little uneasy.

These past few days, he always visited her at night, could it be that he discovered something? It’s also possible that Daisy told him that Brian had come here to see her.

“Have you finished thinking? Have you got an answer yet?” He put his hand on her forehead to check her temperature in the traditional way and asked.

“I won’t marry you. I will find someone to buy the Wine company at a high price and pay off all the debts, including the money Daniel spent earlier.” She turned her face away, avoiding his soft, cloth-like hands that carried warmth.

“It’s okay, there are still a few days left.”

Kevin’s face became gloomy like the sky was about to rain. He retracted his hand, looked at her a moment longer, then turned and walked away.

Last night, Daisy informed him that the deputy general director of GE Corporation was here and Emily invited him into the bedroom.

If he guessed correctly, perhaps GE Group also wants to acquire the Wine Company.

But even though Brian wanted to buy it at a higher price than other places to help her because he had special feelings for her, there was still Kent standing behind him.

Kent is an old fox and would never agree to this stupid way of working based on emotions.

Kevin held the steering wheel with one hand, while the other hand quickly connected the headset and phone and called his assistant. There may also be exceptions so he needs to check to be more assured.

“I’m listening, boss.” Venn’s voice rang out on the other side of the phone.

“Find out if GE Group is interested in owning the Wine company.”

“Yes, I will do it right away.”

Venn’s working ability is unquestionable. His personality is friendly and easy to make friends with, so as soon as Kevin arrived at the office, he had an answer for him.

“According to the information I gathered, the shareholders and deputy general directors of GE Group want to buy the Wine company, but Chairman Kent doesn’t want to. He said that the group’s financial situation is still stuck and he does not want to take risks.”

“Alright. Do your job.”

Kevin’s heart became lighter. Who is Emily fooling? How can she find someone willing to buy the Wine company at a high price like him in this tense economic time?

The rock on Venn’s back was also lifted away when he saw Kevin’s facial muscles relax. He immediately agreed, grabbed the stack of documents his boss had approved yesterday afternoon, and left.

“Emily, do you think I feel comfortable when I force you? I’m also human, I also feel this is very unreasonable when Daniel just passed away. But… I love you and want to take care of you. I’m afraid I’ll regret losing you again. Do you understand me?”

Kevin loosened his tie, whispered in pain, then continued to bury himself in processing documents.

Luckily for Unicons Group, the payment sources arrived promptly, so the acquisition of the Wine company for him would be very smooth, without any hesitation like GE Group or other companies and groups.

Sometimes he thought maybe his younger brother was secretly helping him so he could conveniently help Emily.

At the same time, at SC Bank, GE Group’s loan applications are being diligently processed by staff so that disbursement can be made as soon as possible according to Brian’s request.

SC Bank is a new bank, without any major customers, so when the deputy general director of GE Group contacted them for cooperation, they immediately devoted their efforts to serving the unit, which is one of the leading companies in the country.

As for Emily, because she didn’t want her every move to be reported to Kevin by Daisy, she assigned Irene to work directly with GE Corporation to complete the documents.

Of course, when everything is done, she will go there to sign and complete the final step.

Even though she knew that Unicons Group and GE Group were almost equal, neither side could harm the other, she wanted everything to go smoothly because she was too tired and lazy to listen to questions.

If Kevin knew about it, with his nature, she didn’t know what crazy things he would do. It’s best that she let him know when things can’t be changed.

After a few days, the documents were completed. After receiving notice from Irene, Emily woke up early, put on makeup, and went to the Wine Company.

The moment she signed the transfer and purchase documents, her heart filled with regret and sadness.

These were all of her father’s lifelong enthusiasm. Unexpectedly, when he passed away, they also fell into the hands of someone else.

“Is it finished yet?” She asked.

“It’s all done.” Irene answered.

The notary began reviewing, stamping, and asking both Emily and Brian to fingerprint.

When her hands got tired, the procedures were completed, and the place she was sitting changed owners, so quickly that she thought it was a dream.

Everyone left the room one by one, in the end, only she and Brian remained.

“Emily, you just stay in that house. I don’t need to use it for the time being.” The man’s voice sounded low and sad.

“Yes, thank you. Brian, please be nice to Wine Company’s employees.” She bowed her head and spoke softly.

“Of course, don’t worry.”

Although Brian offered to take Emily to lunch and then take her home, she refused, saying she wanted to wander around the city alone.

He knew she was in a bad mood, so he didn’t insist anymore and just sent her off to the company gate.

Only he knows how much he wants to accept her as his sister. However, he was afraid that she would feel more shocked by her true identity than happy because she realized she had more than one biological relative.

At noon, the hot sun dyed the whole city yellow. Emily sat on the bus, going straight to the cemetery.

She hugged three bouquets of white chrysanthemums, placing one on her father’s grave and one on her mother’s grave.

The large trees here help her avoid the heat of the sun but give her a cool feeling when the wind blows down on her from above.

“Dad, Mom, the Wine company has changed ownership. But Dad will no longer owe anyone anything. Dad can rest in peace. I’m sorry for selling it to someone you don’t like. But Dad, he is a very good person, you have also seen what he did for your daughter, right?”

Speaking of this, Emily burst into tears like a child telling her parents because of the self-pity she had to go through.

She felt that she was still young, she still needed her father and mother by her side. Why would they leave her when she wasn’t married yet?

Leaving her parents’ grave, she carried the remaining bouquet of white chrysanthemums to Daniel’s grave and placed them down.

The incense smoke flew, thin strands of white smoke dissolving into the air, making her nose sting even more. She raised her thin hand and gently caressed the face on the tombstone.

“Daniel, you no longer have the chance to grow old. I… no longer have the chance to pull out your gray hair. Why haven’t you come back in my dreams to visit me these past few days? I miss you so much. Maybe I won’t be able to visit you often in the future. Please don’t be sad.”

She slowly sat down, resting her head on his grave and deceiving herself that she was resting her head on his shoulder like in the old days.

Fortunately, there are still peaceful and beautiful memories he left for her. When she is endlessly sad and feels worthless, she can still remember and comfort herself that there was once a perfect man who loved her, pampered, and sacrificed for her.

A living person cannot win against a dead person. The remaining love for Kevin in her heart faded almost completely after Daniel’s death.

Sunset fell, she left the cemetery, went to the roadside restaurant where Daniel often took her for dinner, then took a taxi to go home.

Just eating a bowl of hot noodles, but she also heard many stories about herself.

It turned out that some intimate photos from college between her and Kevin had been spread and they had created a love story between two brothers and a girl, with some details close to the truth.

One girl even boldly bet her friend that the female lead would be shameless and marry her fiance’s brother.

In the middle of the night, Emily suddenly woke up. Through the dim yellow light of the desk lamp, she was startled when she saw the man’s silhouette on the wall.

The moment she turned her head, she realized that Kevin was sitting in the room, looking at her. He was still wearing business clothes, it seemed like he came straight here from the company.

“It’s so late, why are you still in my room?” She swallowed hard, sat up, and asked a random question to break the strange atmosphere.

“Where did you go today?”

“Company, cemetery, and… a roadside restaurant. What’s up? You want to manage my activities, right? Your rice-powered camera works well.”

“Don’t say that, Emily, that’s someone who will take good care of you.”

He raised his hand, rubbed his forehead a few times, then slowly left the chair and sat on the edge of the bed.

Face to face, eye to eye. She could see the sadness and worry in his eyes, and could also see that he had become much thinner.

Since when did she feel so tired when she was with Kevin? The relationship between her and his younger brother, her betrayal, Daniel’s death, his mother’s hatred for her, everyone’s rumors…

It all made her want to disappear from this city, disappear from his sight.

“I have to go on a business trip tomorrow, it will take a few days to return. Don’t go out, if something happens to you, I won’t be able to handle it in time.”

“Okay, I won’t go anymore. As for the company, I’ll decide when you return. I want to decide on the last day so I don’t regret it.” She calmly replied.

Kevin thought Emily had thought things through, so he was extremely happy. He reached out and pulled her into his arms, stroking her short hair.

His younger brother’s death made him always feel insecure about her, he even thought of locking her up to keep her from running around.Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

He is wondering if he is sick or not. He was scared, afraid he would scare her.
