Beloved Old Lover

The car slowed down and stopped in front of a luxury restaurant.

Emily bit her lip lightly again and followed James inside.

She did not expect that after all these years of exile, the day she returned, she had to meet her ex-lover just to save the Wine company, which is also her father's lifelong inheritance.

“Hello. We sincerely apologize for being late.”

James bowed and shook hands with Matthew and Jessica, then he turned to his daughter and proudly introduced her.

“This is Emily, my only daughter. She just returned from country A.”

Emily smiled brightly and politely greeted the two people in front of her.

She realized that her ex-lover converged on all the excellent features on the faces of both his father and mother.

Honestly, at first, she actively pursued Kevin simply because he was the most handsome in school, then his nice, warm personality gradually made her fall deeply in love with him.

But in the end, the two of them had to part ways.

“You two sit down. Kevin is coming. I told him before, but he still has an appointment to meet his partner.” Jessica smiled and said to be less embarrassed.

“For men, a career is still the most important thing.” James quickly spoke.

“I think the wife is the most important thing.” Matthew looked at his wife and said.

Emily smiled when she witnessed the president of Unicons being pinched by his wife. However, in her heart, she was very uneasy.

In the past, she abandoned Kevin and left without saying goodbye. Will he ignore her mistakes for love to resume the unfinished love story?

When the waiter placed the dishes on the table, the luxury car slowly moved from the restaurant's large gate into the parking lot.

The employees all stopped at the same time to watch the man with his face and body almost perfectly step down from the luxury car.

The dark brand suit further enhances the elegance of the heiress of Unicons Group.

The sound of praise and admiration grew louder with every step he took.

The moment Kevin passed the threshold, he quickly realized his parents were sitting opposite the two guests.

He refused this date as soon as he heard from his mother, but because Jessica kept begging him and said this was the last time she interfered in her son's private life, he reluctantly agreed and came here.

“Hi, Mom and Dad. Hello…”

Kevin's sentence was interrupted halfway through when he saw the face of the girl who had left a long scar on his heart.

She left this country for several years and now she came back and appeared here to renew her old love with him.

He felt she was too funny.

“Hello, Mr. Kevin. I'm James, director of the Wine company and this is my daughter, Emily.”  James smiles fakely.

“Hello, Mr. Kevin. My name is Emily. Nice to meet you.”

Because her father acted like that, Emily had to act with him because she didn't know what to say.

This unusual situation she had also imagined before, but when she faced it, she felt very awkward.

She just wished Kevin would not expose her here.

“Hello, Miss Emily.”

The handshake that Kevin gave Emily was very gentle to outsiders, but only she understood how she struggled to keep a smile on her lips.

His grip was so strong that her fingers felt like they were being crushed. Just that much was enough for her to understand how big the hatred in him was.

“Kevin. Please let go of Emily and have a meal. The two of you will have many opportunities to meet in the future.” Jessica was overjoyed and spoke.

Whenever her son went to meet the girls according to her arrangement, he didn't even talk to them.

But now he held this girl tightly and did not let go, so Jessica was sure that Kevin's soul had fallen into Emily's glittering eyes.

She did not expect this time to be the last time, and she did not expect that James's daughter could attract him.

The meal took place in a contrasting atmosphere.

While Matthew and Jessica happily talked and laughed, Emily and her father were quite awkward.

As for Kevin, he did not show any emotion. He ate and drank comfortably and his eyes were glued to Emily's body, causing her to shake her hands and drop the food several times.

“Have you eaten enough?” Kevin asked softly, but his voice was enough for everyone to hear.

“Huh? Ah, yes.” Emily answered curtly because she was too surprised.

“Dad, Mom, Uncle James, then I'd like to take Emily for a walk.”

The offer from Kevin made everyone as happy as winning the lottery. They immediately agreed and urged him and her to take each other away quickly.

Kevin's parents are happy that their son has found someone to make him rethink, and James is happy because the opportunity to save the Wine company has come.

Emily has to admit that Kevin's legs are too long. With every step he took, she had to take several steps to keep up. Moreover, he also walked so fast that she had to constantly run after him, causing her legs to swell.

If she knew this in advance, she would have worn flat sandals, not high heels.

“Kevin, please slow down a bit. My leg hurts.” Emily miserably begged him because her hand was held by him, unable to stop.

“Your leg hurts and you scream like that, you… have you ever thought of my heart?”

Kevin continued to stride after the sentence hissing through his teeth. This time, he went even faster, harming Emily more miserably.

There was a bit of self-pity creeping into her heart.

He had changed and was so different from before, both in appearance and personality.

Kevin of five years ago always cherished her and was afraid of her getting hurt, but Kevin of five years later caused her pain.

When Emily's whole body was pushed by him and fell on the back seat of the supercar, she also discovered that her legs were bleeding.

She was in a lot of pain, but she couldn't show a weak and pitiful face because she knew that in front of someone who didn't love her, those expressions were meaningless.

Successful men don't like weak girls, so she must show strength.

“Kevin, where are we going?” Emily worriedly asked.

“Don't worry, I can't take you abroad.” His reply was full of mockery.

The car stopped under trees after a while around the streets.

Emily was shocked when she realized that this was the place where he and she often went on dates and met.

After so many years, the scenery here had not changed.

When Kevin opened the car door and got out, Emily also rushed out to follow him.

However, before she had time to step up to his level, he turned his head and spoke, causing her footsteps to stop.

“You already know that person is me, but you still try to come. What the heck are you doing?”

“Kevin, long time no see. Just now, because of your parents' presence, I pretended to…”

“Please answer my question quickly.”

His sharp eyes and gloomy expression made Emily's heart cold. She lowered her head, trying to hide her confused expression, and replied in a low voice.

“I… I want to start over with you, I want… to pursue you again.”

“Are you crazy? In the past, I loved you so much, but you abandoned me when I needed you the most. Now, you feel regret because you know I became the general manager of Unicons, right?” He smiled faintly, raised his face, and sneered.

“It's not what you think. Everything is caused by circumstances. At that time, I was too young, my thinking was not mature. I'm both scared and wanted to study abroad, so I…”

Because Emily could not think of a better reason to justify her previous cruel actions, she had to use some childish excuses to explain to the general manager of the Unicons Group.

When she saw the footsteps of the man opposite getting closer and closer, her whole body involuntarily trembled, her heart seemed to stop beating and the air was blocked, unable to reach her lungs.

“Emily. Are you blaming the fall of leaves because of autumn? Give up that idea. I respected you in front of my parents and that was enough. You'd better never appear in front of me again. That just makes me want to strangle you.”

Kevin said as he took the yellow leaf from her hair and held it up.

As soon as he finished his sentence, he let go of it and let it fly away in the wind. Then he leisurely got back into the car and drove off, leaving the girl with her feet covered in red blood.

“Emily, don't cry. Tears will wash away your mascara.”

Although Emily comforted herself, she still burst into tears.

She thought six years was long enough to erase the past, but when she stood in front of him, she regretted that love to the point of breaking her heart.

The car was long gone, but Emily kept looking at it.

When she saw a few more cars passing by the empty road, she limped up to the side of the road and sat down.

The wound from the accident where the foot has not yet healed is now cracked because of the friction against the high heels, so it constantly bleeds.

“Girl, do you need my help?”

The warm, soft male voice made Emily startle and turn her head.

In front of her eyes was a man who was still very young.

That kind face and friendly smile suddenly warmed her heart a bit.

The car behind him and the branded clothes on him were enough for her to know that he was a rich young man.

“I'm fine.” Emily answered and continued to look down at the canal.

Daniel smiled and walked closer to Emily. A well-dressed girl sitting by the canal alone, her eyes watering, her nose as red as a tomato is enough to let him know she is having trouble in love.

He was only afraid that she would be distraught and swim down the canal in front of him, and the world would lose a beautiful woman.

He did not want to interfere in other people's affairs, but he did not understand why the image of her sitting quietly among the falling leaves made him feel so emotional then stopped the car and asked.

“Your foot is bleeding. How can you abandon yourself like that? I'll take you to the hospital.”

Daniel did not wait for the strange girl to say yes or no. He bent down and picked up Emily, causing her to unconsciously wrap her arms around his neck.

She felt like she was a Cinderella meeting a prince.

This lavish city seems to be concentrated with many rich people. She sat by the canal and also met a rich young man.

When Daniel had just put Emily in the front seat, she lifted her injured leg and left it on her healthy leg because she was worried that blood would fall on the car floor mat.

If she hadn't been afraid of ugliness at first and had properly bandaged her wounds, she wouldn't have been this pathetic.

Honestly, she didn't expect that she would be dragged by Kevin like a bag.

“Just sit comfortably. I am also planning to replace the car floor mats with new ones.” Daniel said.

The car drove for about five minutes, then Emily saw a small clinic on the side of the road, so she asked her benefactor to take her there, not to the hospital because her injuries were not too serious.

When the car stopped, Emily was about to open the car door to get out, but Daniel was faster than her. He graciously bent down and carried her out of the car.

“Be good, after the doctor stops the bleeding and bandages you, I will let you go on your own.”

The sentence as if he was talking with children made Emily burst into laughter.

Did this man know she was twenty-six years old?

If she guessed correctly, he must have been born into a family of intellectuals and was very well educated.

She had rarely seen anyone as rich but friendly as him before.

“Her leg is injured, and she wears high heels. You should pay attention to your girlfriend.”

The old doctor grumbled when he saw the girl's foot stuck to the high-heeled shoe.

He had to carefully wet a cotton ball and then gently separate Emily's foot from it.

Daniel's heart suddenly throbbed when he saw this scene.

“He is not…”

“I'll pay more attention next time.”

Daniel hastily admitted his mistake and interrupted Emily's words.

She looked at him with surprised eyes and received a shake of his head.

After the doctor bandaged Emily's wound, Daniel immediately paid the bill and carefully carried her to the car and drove to a nearby shoe store, and bought her a pair of slippers.

It wasn't until those thin hands with long, slender fingers helped her to put her feet in her new slippers that she hesitated to introduce herself.

“My name is Emily.”

“Emily, the name is really cute like its owner. My name is Daniel Roberts. I'm glad I could help you.”

Accompanying the words was a warm smile from the kind man.

Emily also smiled in response. She was going to say thank you, but he spoke first.

However, she felt that the name Daniel Roberts sounded as if it was related to Kevin Roberts.

His face also had something similar to the person who had left her by the canal. Still, she couldn't open her mouth to investigate him because it was too rude.

“Where is your house? I will take you home.” Daniel asked as soon as he returned to the driver's seat.

“I'll take a taxi. You have wasted a lot of time on me.” She said as she pointed to the row of taxis that were parked straight on the roadside.

Fortunately for Emily, right after that, Daniel's phone rang.

When he saw that the caller was Emma, he suddenly remembered that it was almost time for an appointment with the deputy general director of GE Group.

After he lied to his assistant that he was on the way to the rendezvous point, he quickly carried the girl he had just met to the nearest taxi and instructed the driver to take her home safely.

“I had the chance to meet you today, so I hope to be your friend. Please give me your phone number.” He said while giving his phone to her to save the number on it.

“Oh, okay. I would also like to invite you to a meal to thank you.”

Emily's slender fingers quickly touched the screen of the phone and then she returned it to its owner.

A few seconds later, the phone in her bag showed an incoming call from an unknown number.

“I will wait for you. Call me when your leg is completely healed.” Daniel winked mischievously.

“Yes, I will let you know in advance so you can empty your stomach.” Emily also joked.

The man and the girl nodded to say goodbye again and then went their separate ways.

Daniel turned the car around and ran straight to Sunny Cafe. He almost forgot about negotiating with Brian.

Although Unicons Group has a multi-industry business, they have only intended to encroach into the field of fashion and apparel for nearly half a month now.

Therefore, when Daniel heard that GE Group wanted to transfer a few famous fashion store chains, he actively contacted to purchase to clear the way for the plan to dominate the fashion village.

Daniel just entered the cafe, Emma quickly stood up and Brian also left the chair.

Brian himself often sees Kevin through articles about interviewing successful entrepreneurs. However, this is the first time he has seen the youngest son of Matthew Roberts.

Both men quickly greeted each other and then sat down to discuss the work, while Emma carefully noted all that the superiors and partners had agreed to facilitate in drafting the contract.

Fortunately, she ran here first. Otherwise, she is sure that Brian's neck will be eight meters long because of waiting for Daniel.

“I did not expect the negotiation to go so smoothly. I hope when they are in your hands, they will grow more.” Brian happily said.

“Of course, later on, they will be called Unicons's chain of stores.” Daniel smiled and replied.

Brian raised his coffee cup, took a sip, and nodded slightly.

He had to admit that this second young master was a master of bargaining.

The price that Daniel proposed to reduce is not small, but compared to the actual value of the transferred object, it is correct.

Brian also understood that if he did not take this opportunity, he was afraid that he would have to wait a long time before someone asked to buy, so he agreed to keep up with his work.

“This weekend is my sister's birthday. The party is held at home and the guests are mainly close friends. I hope you will arrange a time to join the fun. Tomorrow, I will send the invitation card to the Unicons corporation.” Brian lowers his voice.

“I'm free this weekend, so I'll go there. Anyway, Miss. Jennifer is also dedicating a lot to Unicons Group.”

A sincere sentence from Daniel that entered Brian's ears turned into a sarcastic statement. However, Brian still tried to calm down, thanked him, then said goodbye, turned his back, and walked away.

Brian's family owns a famous corporation and has to hire people to manage many areas, but his sister went to Unicons Group to apply for a job.

Besides, Jennifer was not given a big position by them.

Her capital is a beautiful face, so they let her stand at the front desk, baring her teeth all day and greeting customers.

“This is the first time you agree to go to the party.” Emma said while arranging documents.

“Come with me. I guess they'll have a dance. By the way, you can be my dance partner.”

“Yes, boss.”

Emma solemnly replied, and then smiled brightly.

Finally, she was about to get the chance to dance with him.

Daniel has not appeared at any partner's parties since he entered Unicons Group and held the position of deputy general director.

When he finished working at the company, he returned home and if he was in a bad mood, he would go to a cafe.

Perhaps because he bought a chain of fashion stores he liked, he was happy and accepted Brian's invitation.

After Daniel took Emma home, he drove back to the villa.

Although he is only two years younger than Kevin, he has never been urged to marry by his mother because, in her opinion, the eldest brother must get married before the youngest brother.

Therefore, for the past two years, his mother has continuously matched Kevin with the girls, but all failed.

Today, he heard from her that this was the last time, but he didn't know if it was successful or not.

When the car driven by Daniel arrived at the main gate, Kevin's supercar also just arrived.

Although Kevin winked to give way, Daniel still did not drive in but raised his hand to signal his brother to drive in first.

“How was your date? Our mother kept it a secret this time, so I don't know whose daughter she is.” Daniel looked at his brother and asked as soon as they met.

“Just like before. Daniel, you can get married if you have found your other half. I don't care that you'll get married before me.” Kevin slammed the door of the car and slowly replied.

Daniel only silently followed Kevin because he noticed the cold, bored expression of his brother.

Honestly, he still hasn't fallen in love with any girl, so how can he get married?

It seems this date has brought disappointment to the president of Unicons Group and his wife again.

“How's it going? Are you two compatible? Did you bring her home?”

Jessica asked when Kevin's feet just touched the doorstep, causing Daniel to stop curiously, and raise his ears to listen.

It turned out that his brother took the girl to another place to talk privately, not like the previous times.

“We've only said a few sentences, so I don't know if we're compatible or not. She had work to do, so she went first.”

When Kevin went upstairs, Daniel leisurely entered the house.

He saw the bewildered face of his mother, so he immediately approached her and inquired about the situation.

Then he learned that after the meal, his brother offered to take the girl for a walk. It was something that had never happened before.

“They've been together for a few hours. How can they only speak a few sentences for a few hours?” Jessica turned to her son and asked quietly.

“I guess they spelled every word before speaking.” Daniel put his hands in his pants pockets, shrugged, and replied.
