It wasn't until evening that Kevin went to the phone store, bought a new phone, and called Emily. However, what he received were long, hopeless sounds.Finally, he called Daisy and she told him his wife was asleep. He originally intended to go buy a phone a little early, but the fever that had tormented him since the afternoon until now made him unable to go out.He couldn't know that Emily was also having a fever because she was in so much pain that she fell asleep.“Emily, you're a heartless person. Let's see how I'll punish you when I get back. Oh my god, what a headache.” He said as he grabbed the edge of the table and slowly sat down on the chair.While Kevin groaned, Lisa hobbled in with a bag of hot dumplings in her hand.Just now, the two of them went out to dinner but Kevin could only eat a little, so she was afraid he was hungry in the middle of the night.The doctor told him and her to eat well before taking the medicine to avoid stomach pain.“Why do you go out and buy the
The sound of the rain outside was like sad music gradually lulling Emily to sleep. She curled up in a warm blanket, dreaming of her childhood days.She originally wanted to wait for Kevin to come home, but she fell asleep. The body supplements that Ryan bought for her looked like they contained sleeping pills. In just over a week, she found herself getting fatter.After two o'clock in the morning, Daisy's phone rang. When she saw Kevin's name, she immediately left the room, went out, and turned on the lights in both the living room and the yard.Knowing he would return today, she didn't dare sleep, closing one eye and opening the other. His wife is here, of course, he can't stay at the hotel.“These were bought by Lisa.” Kevin gave several large and small bags to Daisy and said.Daisy took them. She was so touched that her eyes turned red. Waiting for Kevin to go upstairs, she turned off the light, returned to her room, and opened the bags to look.Since working at Unicons Group, her
“Let's sit down and talk.” Jessica frowned, looking at her son with a helpless expression.“Yes.” Kevin replied and did as she said.These past few days, because she listened to her husband's advice a lot, her dislike for that girl was reduced by half. She no longer wanted to stop Kevin, but she didn't want to see Emily. It's best not to see, say hello or visit.After all, at first, she liked and loved Emily, but every time she saw Emily or heard about Emily, Daniel's pitiful image appeared in front of her, making it impossible for her to calm down.“Okay, I won't interfere in your love life anymore, but I also won't accept that girl as my daughter-in-law. So, even if you come to visit me, don't bring her back here.”“Mom…”“This is my final concession to keep our family at peace.”Jessica's eyes and determined tone made Kevin unable to say anything more, so he nodded in approval.He believes that after a while, the sadness will truly subside and his mother will love Emily again. He b
Seeing Lisa waiting for the elevator, Kevin immediately approached and asked about her wound. He guessed that maybe she didn't want her colleagues and customers to see her bandaged leg, so today, she wore a long dress that reached her ankles.“It's just a little pain. And you? Are you still in pain?” Lisa spoke gently.“I'm no longer in pain.” Kevin smiled.The elevator for the president is a private elevator, so after asking her, Kevin immediately walked toward Sara.The moment Lisa looked after him, she discovered that his ring finger was wearing a ring.That's no different from him publicly announcing that he's married. Why did her mother say that he wanted to hide this marriage?A trace of jealousy suddenly appeared on her innocent face, her hands clasped tightly, her whole body trembling slightly.The day Emily came here to look for Kevin, Lisa was busy with Venn going to the partner company to attend a meeting. Next, she and her boss went to inspect the projects under constructi
“Aren't you... aren't you still not done?” She stammered.“That's right, but a little cat came here to cause trouble, so I can't continue.”Although Emily couldn't see her face, she guessed that it was red because her whole body was hot like fire, and her heart rate was also increasing.Just as she was about to open her mouth to speak, the man's warm lips stopped her. He kissed very gently as if he was afraid that she would hurt, afraid that she would break, unlike the passionate, possessive kisses when they first got close to each other.Warm and sweet is what she felt, her slender arms unconsciously hugged him tighter.“Emily, let me see if you still dare to come here when I'm working in the future.”Kevin said as soon as their lips separated and in the blink of an eye, Emily was lifted in strong arms.She said nothing, obediently wrapped her arms around his neck, leaned close to the man's chest, closed her eyes, listened to his heart beating fast for her, and inhaled the fragrant m
“How's your work today?” Emily raised her head, looked at him, and asked.“Everything's okay. What about you? Do you have any pain?”“Do you still ask? You said you would be gentle and told me to believe you.”Looking at Emily's frustrated expression, Kevin couldn't help but laugh, his hand gently pulling down the collar of the person opposite him, looking at the kiss marks that had turned purple.When he left in the morning, these traces were still pink. He also doesn't know how to control himself when his wife is so attractive.“Emily, there's still a place for me here, right? This marriage is not just because of that mountain, right?” Kevin's finger moved down to where her heart was beating and asked.Emily didn't answer him but just nodded slightly. To be honest, it was because she wanted to help Kurt that she went looking for the buyer, Kevin.However, if it were not him but another man who made such a request, she would not accept it.Perhaps she will return and go find sources
The peaceful days passed gently. Emily's married life was extremely satisfying, but there was still one thing that made her sad.She wanted Jessica to accept her and allow her husband to take her to visit her parents-in-law.She wants to be filial to her mother-in-law, be able to cook some dishes for her, give her some gifts, and be able to go shopping with her like other mother-in-law and daughter-in-law couples.Emily also knew that as long as Jessica had not accepted her, there was still a thorn in her husband's heart that pricked him and made him uncomfortable.This morning, after having breakfast with his wife, he returned to the big house at his mother's request. Jessica wants her family to gather on weekends, chat, drink tea, and then eat lunch.Emily twirled the pen in her hand and made a mark on the calendar on the table. There are only a few days left until the anniversary of the day Kevin and she officially started dating.She wasn't sure if he remembered or forgot, but she
Just as Kevin said, on the first day of the week, he had a meeting until midnight.If he didn't have a wife, he would drive straight to the Gold Hotel instead of driving a long way back here.The moment he saw her with one eye closed and one eye open, wearing sandals and running out to greet him, all the fatigue of the day disappeared.“I'm very dirty, I'm covered in sweat.” He frowned when she jumped into his arms.“I smell good.”She leaned forward, kissed his chin, then took his briefcase and went upstairs with him.Although Kevin was happy, he didn't want her to stay up waiting for him and not sleep on time. He is a man and is used to this nature of work, but she is a woman.It was because she worked at a pub and stayed up too late that she was so physically weak. Daytime sleep is not equal to nighttime sleep.“Later, you should go to sleep first, don't wait for me. Staying up late is not good for you.” He took the pajamas from her hand, speaking in a tired voice.“I sleep fitfull
By the time the couple arrived at the police station, Reid's statement had already been taken and superiors were also preparing an arrest warrant for Jennifer.From Reid's testimony, they discovered that he and Jennifer did not just do bad things once.The chandelier fell, aphrodisiacs were added to the wine at the year-end party, and the video was sent to Daniel moments before the accident.After giving her testimony and signing the report, Emily staggered out of the police station. Every time Kevin touched her hand to try to support her, she immediately pushed his hand away.Everyone, including her, could guess the reason why someone who was extremely careful in traffic like Daniel suddenly lost control of the steering wheel and crashed into the median.“Emily, don't hate me, neither of us wants that.” Kevin hugged her from behind, speaking in pain.“You also think like me, right? We, you and I, are the cause of Daniel's death.” Emily said in tears and tried her best to escape his a
After another week, Kevin felt secure in leaving Emily at home. His mother generously sent her housekeeper, Mary, and a young girl to his house.They know how to drive and are familiar with every corner of this city. The important thing is that they are not married, and have no daughter, younger sister, or older sister.“Tomorrow, I'll take you home to visit my parents. Don't worry about anything.” Kevin reached out and gently pinched his wife's cheek and spoke.“Yes.”Emily nodded and continued to eat breakfast. Kevin always ate faster than her and left the table before her.Maybe it was because he had to go to the company, and she was at home, with nothing urgent to handle.While eating, she thought about what gift to give her mother-in-law. Although Jessica doesn't lack anything, she shouldn't go there with empty hands.When Emily went back upstairs, put on makeup, and changed clothes, the phone rang. She saw a strange phone number, but she still picked it up.On the other end of t
At first, Kevin planned to run to Lisa's residence, but thought again and again, in the end, he called Venn and told him to call two more people to bring her back here so he could interrogate her.His wife had just donated bone marrow, so he couldn't leave her alone at home, and he didn't feel secure if he took her with him.“Emily, sit down here and I'll slowly explain to you. I swear, nothing has happened between me and Lisa that violates morality, and my heart has no room for her, it's all for you.”Witnessing his drastic actions, Emily had a bit of trust so she obediently let him help her sit down.Kevin pointed to the photo at the airport and confirmed that those were his legs and that he pulled Lisa's suitcase because her legs were injured after saving him from a terrible accident.“You never told me about the accident.” Emily spoke up indignantly.“I'm afraid you'll worry. During those days, I was in so much pain that my face was distorted and I didn't have the strength to have
Each day passed quietly, the day after tomorrow was the day of surgery and tomorrow, Emily had to be hospitalized to prepare for surgery with Brian.To be honest, she was very worried. She wasn't worried about herself because the doctor had assured her that she wouldn't be in pain, but she was worried about Brian's probability of success.She knows that even though surgeries are guaranteed, there will still be small mistakes that can happen.Since the night Kevin refused to take Daisy away, Emily saw that Daisy's eyes seemed to be avoiding her, but she didn't care much.“What time will you leave tomorrow?” Kevin asked while patting her back to soothe her to sleep because he saw her tossing and turning.“I'll start leaving at seven o'clock in the morning, I'll have time to kiss you good morning.” She replied lazily.“Yes, if you're gone for a few days, you'll make up for it for me to have sex multiple times in a row in one night, okay?” He blew gently into her ear, teasing her.“Perver
When the party ended, Kevin's face was red from the alcohol. Emily only took a sip of wine at the beginning of the party so she was still alert and could drive him home.All the way home, he closed his eyes and didn't say a word, but as soon as she helped him back to the bedroom, he pushed her down on the bed and kissed her frantically.“Are you jealous, Emily?” He asked when the long kiss had just ended.“No.” She took a breath and replied.“You said you were afraid I would mistake my wife for another woman. Emily, you were so harsh just now. Tell me, am I right or wrong now?”Before Emily could answer, he leaned down again and continued to kiss her. His nimble hands took off the seductive dress from her body and the suit from his body, quickly becoming one with her.One sleepless night, in the morning, when the alarm clock rang for the third time, both of them still did not want to open their eyes.It wasn't until Sara called, reminding Kevin about this morning's meeting that he laz
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
After a good night's sleep, Kevin woke up and reflexively reached out to look for his wife to hug, but the space next to him helped him remember what happened last night, and quickly opened his eyes.His wife was not lying next to him, she sat close to the edge of the bed, leaning her head against the wall, her eyes still closed.Kevin slowly approached, his trembling hand raised to touch her face, but then he quickly withdrew his hand and left the bed, preparing to go to the company.Although Emily could hear and know every move of her husband, she still sat still, pretending to be asleep.It wasn't until she was sure that the man had left the room that she opened her eyes, dragged her aching body into the bathroom, and washed away what belonged to him clinging to her body.Next, she went to the pharmacy near her house to buy birth control pills.Right now, she can't let herself get pregnant. She didn't want the baby to become the reason for her and him to be entangled when his love
This incident was quite complicated so the deputy head of the IT department and technicians could not handle it.The person who is the best and can restore the system, the department head, is on his way here.Yesterday, he asked for leave to return to his hometown, but this afternoon he had to drive back to the city.Although the distance between the two places is not too far, it still takes an hour to enter the city. Not to mention the city's traffic jams are terrible at this time.“He said it would take about half an hour to get into the city.” A technician spoke up after ending the call with the head of the IT department.Knowing that standing here and waiting wouldn't bring any results, Kevin took Emily back to his office and had dinner with her.Fortunately, she was here to eat with him, otherwise, he probably wouldn't have been able to swallow it.“Everything will be okay.” Emily picked up a piece of meat, placed it in her husband's rice bowl, and said.“I know, I'm just afraid
At precisely three o'clock in the afternoon, Emily took a taxi to the city cemetery. White chrysanthemums are always the flowers she chooses to place on the graves of the deceased.After chatting in front of her parents' grave, she sat next to Daniel's grave, leaned her head on it, and closed her eyes.She wanted to tell him that he had entrusted her to the wrong person, but she couldn't.He didn't know and she couldn't blame him. He always wanted to give her the best things.She could no longer lean on that person's shoulder, so she had to come here to find some comfort.Until after five o'clock in the afternoon, Emily was still sitting in the cemetery, the wind blew gently and the quiet space made her fall asleep without knowing it.When she felt a hand patting her shoulder and heard a deep voice calling her, she suddenly woke up.“Have you been here long? How dare you sleep in a cemetery like this?” Kevin frowned at her but his voice was very gentle.Emily didn't answer, she held h
