Beloved Old Lover

When Emily entered the hospital room, she saw Daniel helping her father wipe his face, and on the table was an empty porridge box.

His movements were gentle and he kindly asked if her father felt any pain. At this moment, her heart suddenly fluttered a little towards the man standing before her.

“Why didn’t you take the time to rest and come here?” She walked over, put the porridge box on the table, and asked.

“Ah, I was worried that your dad was hungry early so I came in to feed him first. You can’t leave the company any sooner.” He smiled gently, and stepped back, making room for her.

To be honest, Daniel came here when she was not present partly to tell her father about his feelings for her and ask for help because she kept avoiding him and not giving him a chance.

“Do you feel less pain yet?” She sat down on the edge of the bed, raised her hand to gently touch her father’s face, and asked softly.

“Yes, I’m feeling much better, I’ll feel more comfortable when I get home and I’ll be able to go in and out.”

After James talked to his daughter a few more words, he urged her and Daniel to go have lunch because when Daniel arrived, he asked and Daniel said he would eat later.

So they both left the room, went down to the cafeteria, ordered two plates of grilled rib rice, and ate quietly.

Daniel felt a bit funny. Yesterday, he booked a table at a luxury restaurant to invite her but she was busy. Today, he finally got to have lunch with her but it was in the hospital cafeteria.

“What are you smiling about?” She stopped eating and asked because she saw the man opposite her keep smiling while eating.

“Oh, nothing. I feel happy. This is the first time I have eaten at a hospital cafeteria.”

“Have you never been hospitalized before?”

“No, I just have a few common colds and fevers, and the doctor always comes to my house. Even if I had to be hospitalized, my mother would tell the chef to cook food and bring it in.”

Emily nodded gently and smiled. Right, who is this person? His life is not like that of normal workers, there will be something different.

Although her family used to be well-off, because of the absence of a mother, every time she was in the hospital, she still ate in the cafeteria.

Her father is a man who doesn’t care much about eating and drinking and is always busy with work.

Her family’s maid is also nearly fifty years old and has bone and joint problems. She couldn’t bear to force an old person to run back and forth to serve her, so she told her to go down to the cafeteria to buy food for convenience.

When both of them returned to the company, it was also the beginning of the afternoon’s work hours.

Emily ran quickly as soon as she got out of the car, making Daniel smile again in helplessness. He wondered if she considered him a tiger. He’s not that scary, right?

After knocking twice on the door, she entered and walked to her desk, her hands and feet still shaking. She didn’t look at Kevin so she didn’t know he was staring at her.

– I asked you to get me a glass of cold water and you ran to the North, huh?

His question startled her. At that time, Emma was in the room, so she couldn’t go in. After that, she ran to the hospital because she was afraid her father was hungry.

But why is he so petty that he berates her for a glass of water? He promised his younger brother not to take revenge on her.

“At that time, I saw Miss Emma in the room, so I left to keep the air in the room from being thin.”

She didn’t know what she just said. What she just said seemed wrong, but right now she didn’t know what words were appropriate.

Standing in front of him, half of her vocabulary flew away, that’s all that remained.

“Thinning of the air?”

“Yes.”

Kevin’s face darkened when he saw Emily answer with a calm expression. He let out a sigh and then said the words that made her heart numb.

“There’s no need to avoid seeing each other, my girlfriend and I don’t have sex in the office. You think I don’t have money to rent a hotel, huh?”

After saying that, he stood up, adjusted his tie, and strode out of the room.

Emily sighed, then quickly grabbed the documents and followed him to the meeting room.

The meeting lasted for four hours before ending. When everyone stood up, it was already after five o’clock in the afternoon.

Emily gathered the documents and brought them back to the office. She was thinking about what to cook for her father to eat and was thinking about how to get the money to pay the gangsters, they only extended her father for three more days.

She doesn’t have the skills to rob a bank or jewelry store. These past few days, she also bought lottery tickets but didn’t win.

Luckily for her, this afternoon, Daniel had to go meet a customer, so after taking her and her father home, he immediately drove away.

“What is the relationship between you and the youngest son in that family?” James looked at the disappearing car and asked.

“Superiors, subordinates, and friends.” She answered.

Seeing that his daughter deliberately avoided him when she heard him ask about Daniel, he could not tell her about Daniel asking him to help him cultivate this relationship.

Humans are not animals, so they cannot just let go of one person and immediately catch another.

Furthermore, Daniel is Kevin’s younger brother. Just hearing about this troubled relationship was enough to make his daughter’s life difficult.

Their dinner is just a few simple dishes like rice, stir-fried beef, some boiled shrimp, and vegetable soup.

Both of them have sadness in their hearts so they don’t feel good when eating, they just have to fill their stomachs to have health to work.

“Emily, I’m sorry. At that time, Kevin was too poor. I was afraid that you would suffer so I took that opportunity to trick you and take you abroad.” James stopped his chopsticks and bowed his head in shame.

“Dad also wanted the best for me, how could I not know? Anyway, it’s the past, don’t mention it again, Dad.”

“Emily, please tell Kevin the truth, say it’s all because of me…”

“He already has a girlfriend. I don’t want to be the third person. If I had known at first that he had a girlfriend, I would not have accepted your offer.”

Yes, she accepted her father’s offer because she still loved Kevin very much and didn’t know that he had a girlfriend.

In her heart, she still hoped that she and Kevin would come back together after a long time apart. She hoped that his love for her would be big enough to forgive her.

How can she say that it’s all her father’s fault? Suppose Kevin understands her, accepts her, and marries her, but he certainly will not respect her father at all and even hate him.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

That blemish will go with the years. Sometimes a word will make her father think and hurt.

Before she knew and loved him, her father was by her side and raised her. No matter what her father did wrong, he will always be her father. That’s why she was deeply moved when she saw Daniel thoughtfully taking care of her father, even if it was just small things like feeding him porridge and wiping his face.

She didn’t know that the warm man who appeared in her thoughts was also thinking about her when his business partner asked him when he would get married.

“Ah, I’m still pursuing her. If she agrees tomorrow, we will get married the day after tomorrow.”

Daniel said what he thought, but it made the business partners laugh. Everyone thought he was joking.

Not to mention his family’s billion-dollar assets, his sociable personality, and good dignity are enough to make girls fall for him.

Everyone thinks that Daniel doesn’t need to waste time pursuing anyone. If he likes a girl, he just needs to ask and the girl will agree after a few days of pretending to think.

Sitting next to him, Emma also smiled to match the current atmosphere but her heart was trembling. She knew her boss was telling the truth, not joking.

It turns out that when he loves someone, his love is stronger than she thought. Why isn’t she blessed to be the person of his dreams?

She was jealous of Emily, but she didn’t hate her. Having to face Kevin every day has made Emily very miserable.

Dinner ended when the clock struck eight. After shaking hands and saying goodbye to the customers, Daniel and Emma walked to the parking lot.

Today, she drives her car, he drives his. Today’s customers are polite men who do not force women to drink and do not force male business partners to drink too much.

Whenever she went out with him like this, she fantasized that she and he were a couple.

“In the future, I will limit bringing you along when office hours are over. You need to have time to date, right? I didn’t know before, but now that I know, I won’t take up too much of your time.” Daniel said happily.

“How to go on a date? Kevin is very busy. He’s probably on a date with his files and laptop right now.” She smiled wryly and replied gently.

“Yes, if you love someone busy, you will be at a bit of a disadvantage. Fortunately, you understand.”

After speaking, he waved goodbye, got into the car, and quickly left the restaurant gate. And she just stood still, watching the red light fade away.

Dating? It’s just a drama. Emma guessed that Kevin still loved Emily and was deliberately irritating her, not knowing that the more he did so, the easier it would be for her to fall into someone else’s arms.

However, he didn’t confide in her, so how could she dare to speak up? She cannot go beyond her duties. She should know her position.

When Daniel came home, his mother was still watching TV. Seeing her youngest son just walk in, she walked over and hit him on the shoulder a few times.

“Do you still know the way home?”

“Mom, my work ended too late so I had to stay at the hotel.” He grimaced, rubbing the place where he had just been beaten.

Jessica raised her hand but only threatened Daniel, did not hit him anymore, and then loudly told the housekeeper to bring a bowl of steamed bird’s nest for her son.

“Mom, why is Mary wearing a housekeeper’s outfit? Where is the housekeeper?” Daniel pointed at the young girl in surprise and asked.

“She was fired by your brother. If you have any questions, go ask your brother. Your father and I had just returned from visiting relatives when we heard him report like that. He’s about to become the boss of this house.”

After saying that, she turned around and went upstairs. She also had a TV in her room, but because she wanted to wait for her two sons to come home, she went down to the living room to watch it.

Only when she knew her child was on a business trip or had something to do and couldn’t come home did she not wait.

While eating the bird’s nest, Daniel thought. He didn’t know what the housekeeper did to offend Kevin that he so bluntly kicked her out.

She had worked here for more than ten years before his brother was picked up by his parents.

“After firing Jennifer, he also fired the housekeeper. Is he addicted to firing employees?” Daniel looked up the stairs and whispered to himself.
