Beloved Old Lover

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

Emily bit her lips 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 has changed and is 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 has 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.
