Beloved Old Lover

By the time Kevin got home, it was nine o’clock. Seeing Emily sitting and swinging on the swing, he immediately walked over, placed the rose bouquet in her lap, and sat down in front of her, looking at her beautiful but expressionless face.

“Last night I worked too late and fell asleep. My phone ran out of battery so I didn’t know you called. I’m sorry.” He gently stroked her hair, speaking in a low voice.

“After this, I won’t call you anymore.” She put the bouquet aside and spoke indifferently.

“Don’t, Emily, if you don’t care about me, who will care about me?”

Kevin reached out and hugged Emily’s waist, resting his head in her lap.

She is his stop after a day of traveling outside. If she ignores him, how will he have the energy to work?

Today, meeting Emma, the feeling of guilt towards Daniel deep in his heart has eased.

He also wanted to tell his wife about it to make her feel more comfortable, but the words that Daniel told Emma stopped him.

“In a few days, when I receive notice of winning the bid, I will take you to the congratulatory party with the leaders and senior staff. I want to introduce you to everyone and officially make our relationship public.” He raised his head and looked at her with expectant eyes.

At first, Emily intended to flatly refuse, but thinking that Lisa would be at the party, she nodded and agreed.

She wanted to observe closely to see how the two of them would behave in front of her, naturally or awkwardly.

She wanted to see Lisa’s face distorted by anger and jealousy when she witnessed her and her husband loving and caring for each other.

After both of them finished lunch, Kevin hugged Emily to bed and went to sleep.

He was tired all night so he quickly fell asleep, leaving only her awake.

Just now, when he grabbed her and threw her on the bed, she thought he was forcing her to fulfill his wifely duties, but luckily he just hugged her to sleep.

That’s right, he had been messing around with that woman all night, so he had no strength left to make love to her.

In the afternoon, Irene called and invited Emily to dinner with the staff in the Wine company’s accounting department.

When she told her husband about the appointment, his expression darkened but he agreed, only telling her to pay attention to her belly.

Today, he wanted to spend all his remaining time with her, but she was gone, so he didn’t want to sit alone in the house.

Emma also agreed to let his parents know about it. It would be better if he came to talk to them right now and then took them to visit their two grandchildren who are about to be born.

“Why did you suddenly come home?” Jessica was having afternoon tea with her husband. When she saw her son walk in, she was surprised.

“Bring good news to mom and dad.” Kevin sat down on the sofa and said mysteriously.

“Is Emily pregnant?” Matthew quickly spoke up.

“No, but Mom and Dad are about to have two babies to hold. Each person can hold a baby. They are Daniel’s two children.”

After Kevin finished speaking, the surrounding atmosphere suddenly became silent.

His parents stared at him and had the same thought that he was suffering from paranoia.

Daniel passed away and Emily’s belly is flat to this day. So where do children come from?

“Talk nonsense. Your younger brother, other than Emily, has never been involved with any girls.” Jessica frowned.

“The one who is pregnant is Emma. The two of them were together when they got drunk and lost control, exactly two days before the accident.”

Jessica’s eyes filled with tears. At this moment, she and her husband both had the same thought, perhaps because of that, her youngest son lost concentration while driving, leading to that tragic accident.

Kevin held his mother’s hand tightly, helping her suppress her emotions. Next to them, Matthew was also secretly wiping away tears of both sadness and happiness.

He silently thanked Emma for keeping his son’s blood, allowing a part of him to exist in the world.

“Where is Emma?” Mathew asked.

“Now I’m taking Dad and Mom to visit her.”

After finishing speaking, Kevin stood up and went out to get the car. Matthew went upstairs, got his wife’s coat, and helped her out to the yard.

Happiness came so unexpectedly that the old couple both shed tears and laughed, happy but choked up.

The car left the villa and drove at a moderate speed toward the luxury apartment building.

With the money that Daniel transferred on the morning of his death, Emma and her mother rented this place to ensure safety and a good living environment for their two babies to grow.

The villa he wanted to give her had not yet completed the paperwork when he passed away, so she told the lawyer not to bother his family and just consider it as if she did not accept it.

As soon as Jessica saw Emma, she burst into tears and hugged her. In Emma’s belly is her biological grandchild, Daniel’s biological child, not just one, but two.

“Look at you! You should be happy. You cry, making Emma cry too. Pregnant women should not cry.” Matthew gently blamed his wife.

It took five minutes for everyone to calm down and talk. Jessica asked about the health status of the mother and baby and then advised Emma what to pay attention to in the final stages of pregnancy.

Jessica also offered to bring two experienced maids here to support her because her mother’s legs were hurting.

Jessica wanted to take Emma back to the villa to take care of her, but she was afraid that Emma would be uncomfortable.

“The past few months have been hard for you and Emma. From now on, we are one family. We will come visit often.” Jessica held Emma’s mother’s hand and spoke gently.

Kevin looked at the happy scene in front of him and felt a bit at peace in his heart. He was thinking about Emily. When she agreed to join the party with him, she only smiled at him.

He couldn’t remember when her bright smile disappeared.

After a week, the notice of the winning bid was sent to Unicons Group.

Even though the employees in charge of preparing the bidding documents this time made mistakes, Kevin still rewarded them.

At the same time, he warned them that this was the first and last time. If it happens again, he will directly fire them because there are a lot of elite people outside who want to join Unicons Group and take their positions.

The celebration party was held at a luxurious restaurant right in the city center, gathering both senior leaders of Unicons and GE corporations.

This project will last for six years, so personnel from both sides will have to meet a lot in the future. This party is also considered an opportunity for everyone to get to know each other first.

“Brian’s not coming?” Emily asked softly as she entered the banquet table with Kevin.

“I heard that he’s busy.” He replied, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Today, Emily is wearing gorgeous makeup and an expensive dress, and her jewelry is all limited-edition designs.

She exudes an extremely luxurious and noble beauty, in contrast to the purity and simplicity that she always pursues, and is the complete opposite of Lisa.

“Before starting the party, I would like to introduce a little. This is my wife, the person who married me and is also the owner of the Unicos corporation, Emily.” Kevin held his wife’s hand tightly and spoke solemnly.

Applause rang out instead of congratulations. Everyone’s face showed happiness, except Lisa.

Although she clapped her hands, there was not a single smile on her face. Of course, Emily could see and felt very happy.

“Today’s party is to congratulate us on winning this big contract. I would like to thank everyone and hope we can work harder together in the future.”

As soon as Kevin finished speaking, two bottles of champagne were opened and everyone clapped again.

After raising his glass and inviting everyone, he pulled out a chair and helped his wife sit down in front of everyone’s admiring eyes.

Even though Emily was angry at Kevin for daring to raise a cat outside, his actions and words from the moment he entered this room until now were following her wishes, so she felt quite comfortable.

So she did not reject his intimate gestures during the party, accepting them naturally.

Halfway through the party, everyone was already tipsy, and they boldly chatted with the chairman’s wife.

“Does anyone here see that Lisa resembles the president’s wife?” A girl spoke up.

The crowd answered “yes” in unison and teased Lisa, saying that if she had similarities to the president’s wife, she would surely find a husband who was talented, rich, and pampered her like the president in the future.

Lisa’s face turned red and she secretly looked at Kevin with wet eyes. However, his dreamy, ecstatic eyes were glued to the attractive wife next to him, completely paying no attention to anyone else.

“What about you, ma’am, do you think Lisa is like you?” A young man spoke up.

Emily smiled, pretended to look at Lisa, observed for a moment, and then nodded.

She knew that this was probably the first and last time she would have the opportunity to sit at the banquet table with Lisa and many senior leaders and employees of the two corporations.

She is no longer in the age group that likes to go to crowded places and attend parties.

And it’s also possible that in the future, she and her husband will go their separate ways and no longer have anything to do with each other.

“Very similar. So, I was a little scared. I’m afraid my husband will see Lisa as me and Lisa will look for a man according to my husband’s advantages because of what people say and then sometimes see my husband as her husband.”

At first, everyone was about to smile after listening to Emily’s speech, but by the time she finished speaking, everyone was as stiff as if they were sprayed with glue, including Lisa.

Even in her wildest dreams, Lisa never expected that Emily would dare to say these words in front of Kevin and the senior leaders.

“Everyone, don’t be nervous, my wife was just joking. If you see another woman as your wife, that’s just an excuse for having an affair.”

Kevin spoke loudly but his eyes still did not leave Emily. He was not stupid enough to not realize that his wife’s words contained jealousy.

“Wife, there are a lot of eyes at the corporation. If I look wrong, they will warn me. Please rest assured.” He put his arm around her shoulders, pulled her close, and spoke loudly enough for the people sitting next to them to hear.
