Beloved Old Lover

It was after nine o’clock at night but Kevin was still sitting in the bar. He was heartbroken, so he wanted to drink to get drunk, to forget life and people.

Sitting next to him is Venn. Although Venn has been promoted to deputy general manager, he is currently no different from Kevin’s assistant.

After returning from the north side of the city, Kevin asked Venn to take him to the bar and sat here until now, refusing to go home.

“Boss, let’s go home. If you keep drinking, you will die.” Venn miserably advised.

“Venn, tell me, I’m hateful, right?” Kevin picked up a full glass of wine, drank it all, and asked.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“No. You are the nation’s husband. Many people want to be your lover. How can you say you’re hateful?”

Hearing the person next to him praising him, he laughed bitterly.

So Emily is the exception, right? She said he was disgusting and chased him away as if chasing away an evil spirit.

Ignoring Venn’s advice, Kevin continued to order another bottle of wine. He wondered if he died tomorrow, would Emily go to the cemetery, light incense for him, hug his grave, and cry like she did when his younger brother died? Or maybe she felt he deserved it.

After drinking the entire bottle of wine, Kevin lay flat on the counter, constantly calling Emily’s name.

With Kevin’s half-human, half-ghost appearance, even if he gave Venn more money, Venn wouldn’t dare carry him home.

Venn was afraid that if Kevin’s parents heard him calling that girl’s name, they would be even more upset.

“Boss, what’s wrong with the president?”

Hearing the voice, Venn turned his head and saw Lisa’s innocent, pure face.

He was a bit surprised because he didn’t think she would come to these places after work.

She doesn’t need to go out to eat with customers, and if she goes, it will be because he took her to meet them.

“Ah, he was so drunk that I didn’t dare take him home. We’ll probably have to take him to the Gold Hotel.” Venn smiled wryly.

“Then take him back to the house in the mini villa area. My mother will take care of him. It would be dangerous if he was alone in such a drunk state.” Lisa enthusiastically suggested.

Hearing what Lisa said made sense, Venn nodded. After paying, he and she took Kevin to the car and drove to the mini villa area, the home of the upper class.

Venn knows Kevin bought that house to live with Emily, but when his bride disappeared, it became Daisy’s residence.

“Oh, Did you go to that bar to drink?” Venn asked as he drove through the intersection.

“No, today is my friend’s birthday, I came to congratulate him but I didn’t drink. I’m afraid I’ll be tired tomorrow and it will affect my work.” Lisa replied gently.

Because Venn was afraid that Kevin would get dizzy, he drove slowly. From time to time, Lisa turned her head and looked at the man lying in the back seat.

Every day, he looks dignified, and cold, like a proud star in the sky, but when he’s too drunk, he’s no different from normal people.

Lisa felt very lucky to be able to see this self-indulgent appearance of him.

As soon as the car stopped in front of the gate, Lisa immediately jumped out of the car and rang the bell.

The front yard is quite large, so it took a few minutes for Daisy to reach the gate, insert the key, and unlock it.

Seeing her daughter, she was extremely surprised and when she saw the license plate, she was even more surprised.

“Kevin was too drunk so I brought him home.” Lisa said as she pushed the gate to widen the path.

The car slowly turned inside and drove straight to the main door. This is also Venn’s first time coming here.

This house was chosen and purchased by Kevin. The paperwork was also done by him, not given to Venn, so Venn did not see it, did not know, only knew that it was in this area.

The three of them struggled for a long time to get Kevin upstairs. When they finished putting him on the bed, everyone held their stomachs and panted because they were so tired.

Daisy told Lisa to get warm water for Venn to wipe Kevin’s face and limbs, and she quickly went down to the kitchen to cook him some porridge because, according to Venn, his boss had only put alcohol in his stomach from this afternoon until now.

Looking at Kevin’s abs and muscles revealed when Venn took off the white shirt, Lisa’s face turned red but her eyes still stared at him.

This man is truly amazing, beautiful every millimeter.

“Lisa, please look in the closet to see if there are any t-shirts.” Venn said while wiping his boss’ body.

“Yes.”

Lisa quickly rushed to the wooden cabinet and opened it. She was stunned when she saw that there were not only men’s clothes but also many beautiful dresses inside, some elaborate as if used to go to a party, some simple as if to wear at home or on the street.

Could it be that Kevin prepared these for that girl?

A bold thought flashed in Lisa’s head, she wanted to become his woman tonight.

With his personality, she believes he will take responsibility for her. Moreover, today is also an insecure period for her. If she can have a baby, it will be easier for her to grab him and take the position of the wife of the president of the Unicons group.

However, Lisa’s plan could not be carried out because after dressing Kevin, Venn received a call from his sister.

Through what he said, Lisa knew he would spend the night here, the reason being that he was busy taking care of his drunk boss.

“The porridge is cooked.” Daisy brought in a bowl of hot porridge and said.

“He’s already asleep, he probably won’t be able to eat.” Lisa looked at the man lying motionless on the bed and sighed.

Venn tried to shake Kevin for a while but he still didn’t wake up.

Venn had no other choice so he told Daisy to bring the bowl of porridge to the kitchen. If Kevin said he was hungry in the middle of the night, he would warm it up for him to eat.

Because it was too late, when Lisa said she wanted to stay, Daisy immediately agreed and took her daughter to her room and took her clothes for Lisa to wear.

After all, Lisa only slept here for one night, so Daisy believed Kevin wouldn’t be upset. Furthermore, Venn also stayed here.

Lying next to Daisy, Lisa kept staying awake. It wasn’t because the strange place made her unable to sleep, but because she was thinking about the golden man named Kevin.

She longed to be his wife, to be with him, to take care of every meal and sleep for him, to be loved and given the best things by him.

Hearing the sound of steady breathing, knowing that her mother was fast asleep, she immediately lifted the blanket, got out of bed, and tiptoed out of the room.

According to her mother, in this villa, there is a room containing gorgeous, expensive dresses, jewelry, and shoes for women. So, she wanted to go there to see it once.

The times she visited her mother, even though she begged her mother to take her there to see, her mother steadfastly refused.

She and her mother could only sit and talk in the yard because there were surveillance cameras in the yard and Kevin told Daisy not to let anyone enter the door of his house.

Lisa walked step by step upstairs and to the room at the end of the hallway.

When the light switch turned on, she thought she was lost in a fairyland. The display cabinets for dresses, handbags, shoes, and jewelry are all glass so she can easily see the objects inside.

It took a minute before she was able to continue moving. Her hands trembled as she touched the items that belonged only to the upper class.

“It’s just a nightgown but it’s so gorgeous.”

Lisa’s eyes lit up, and her hand quickly reached out, took down the light purple nightgown, caressed, and admired it.

She wanted to wear it to see how charming she was. She quickly did as she thought, took off her clothes, and put it on.

Next, she put on jewelry and a pair of high heels.

Looking at herself in the mirror, she saw that she was no different from other rich ladies, so her ambition became even stronger.

“Lisa, you should have been born into a tycoon family. Look, you have the temperament of a lady.” She turned left and right, looked at herself in the mirror, and said to herself.

Before taking off her expensive nightgown, Lisa took the opportunity to take a few photos, then quickly left, returned to the room downstairs, and gently lay down next to Daisy.

She silently scolded Venn. If he hadn’t stayed, she would have climbed into Kevin’s bed tonight. Kevin being so drunk was the most favorable opportunity.

Kevin woke up after a night of sleep to the point of not knowing anything. He quickly realized this was his new home.

Glancing at the floor, he saw Venn hugging a pillow, sleeping soundly. He only remembers drinking at the bar, but after that, he doesn’t remember anything.

“Wake up.” Kevin threw a pillow at Venn and called.

The deputy general manager quickly sat up, rubbed his eyes back and forth, yawned, and then voluntarily reported everything that happened yesterday as soon as he saw Kevin’s eyes.

Venn had been following Kevin for a long time, of course, he could more or less guess the question in his boss’s heart with just a few gestures or eyes.

“Why don’t you take me to the Gold Hotel while you stay beside me?” Kevin frowned and looked at Venn.

“Ah, because you don’t eat anything and keep drinking, I’m afraid something will happen to you. After all, Mrs. Daisy still has more experience taking care of people than we do.” Venn smiled wryly.

“You took my clothes to wear and took me to the company.”

Venn nodded and quickly ran to the wooden cabinet, chose an outfit, and went into the bathroom.

Kevin was still sitting on the bed, rubbing his forehead to relieve his headache. The image of Emily’s cold back appeared in his mind again.

Perhaps he thought clearly after drowning himself in alcohol. He decided to let go of her hand, to let go of this first love of his life.

He still has the Unicons group, he still has his father, he still has his mother, and he can’t keep revolving around her like the Earth revolves around the Sun.

When the two of them went downstairs to have breakfast, Daisy told them that Lisa had already taken a taxi to the motel room.

Today, Venn had a meeting so she had to go to the company early to prepare.

Last night, she had a dream so realistic that when she woke up, she thought she was in the wedding room with that golden man.

At the same time, in the north of the city, Kurt and Emily also set out.

Kurt’s hometown is a mountainous province, about a hundred kilometers from the city. That place grows a lot of rattan and bamboo, providing raw materials for companies specializing in producing handicrafts.

Today, Kurt went there to check the completion of the factories as well as sign a contract to purchase rattan and bamboo with a few households who own a mountain.

That mountain has been covered with rattan and bamboo and is about to be harvested.

The bustling atmosphere of the city gradually disappeared. Emily relaxed her mood and looked outside, where the straight rows of trees were receding backward.

Nature is always an effective medicine to heal the soul for people like her.
