Last night, sleeping with Kevin in the tent, although Emily was very happy, she was also worried, afraid of being discovered by others.And now it's okay, here only he and she know each other, around them are only strangers.“Go to sleep, don't play anymore.” He grabbed the hand that was touching his face and said.“Dislike.”Emily shook her head and continued to caress the bridge of his nose and then his lips. Every line on this handsome face has changed over time, becoming stronger, more masculine, and more mature than the student of previous years.“Have you called your father yet?”“I called a few times but he didn't pick up so I texted him. He probably went to meet friends and partners again.”She stopped playing with his face and wrapped her arms around his waist, snuggling her head into his chest to find warmth to easily fall asleep.This motel has walls but it's like there are no walls, the wind still blows in through small gaps, bringing the cold outside inside.The warmth fr
On the first morning of the week, Emily came to the company early. However, until nine o'clock, she still couldn't see Kevin.Today, he didn't have an appointment with anyone, so she reassured herself that he would probably be a little late for work.Last night, she ventured to call him a few times, but the phone kept saying it was busy, and now, the situation is not getting better.She was sitting and thinking when the phone suddenly rang. Seeing the strange phone number, she hesitated a bit but then she still picked up the phone.A gentle female voice sounded on the other end of the line and she quickly realized it was Kevin's mother, Mrs. Jessica.“Yes, hello. Are you calling me for something?” Emily put her hand on her chest, hugged her fast-beating heart, and asked.“Ah, at seven o'clock tonight, please come to my house for an intimate meal.”“Yes.”A tingling feeling of happiness ran through Emily's body. She secretly blamed Kevin. It turned out that he avoided receiving her pho
“How's it going? Have you felt the pain I have to endure? Emily, are you naive or stupid? Do you think I will fall into your love trap full of iron hooks again?” Kevin reached forward, grabbed her chin, lifted her face, and spoke in a joking voice.“So, all those words and actions of caring for me while in the mountains were just lies?”“Of course. You believed it, right? Are you disappointed now? You left me when I needed you the most, and if I did that, I would still be very good.”Emily raised her hand to push away the hand that was touching her and stepped back. She did not expect that time could change a person so much. Yet she thought that Kevin from five years ago had returned to her side.Did he say it was all a lie? But it was clear that he risked his life to rush into the rushing water just to save her.She didn't believe that he risked his life just because he wanted revenge on her. In the end, why did he become like this?Not far away, Daniel saw and heard everything. It t
When Daniel returned home, it was already past ten o'clock at night. However, he saw his brother still sitting at the stone table under the sycamore tree, not sleeping.The call just now was also Kevin's first call that Daniel refused to pick up.“Daniel.” Kevin spoke up when he saw his younger brother intentionally ignoring and passing by.Daniel knew he couldn't avoid Kevin when both of them were living under the same roof and working in the same company, so he had to sit down and face the face that he suddenly felt a bit hateful of.“Emily is my ex-girlfriend. When I hadn't found a family yet, she and I fell in love. Then, when I got caught up in legal trouble, she disappeared without saying goodbye.”Not wanting to waste his younger brother's time, Kevin quickly spoke directly about the past problem.“Brother, she was still too young at that time. And you shouldn't take revenge on her like that. The past is the past. The law is still tolerant and gives criminals a chance to rebuil
Emily did not know about Daniel's unexpected business trip. It wasn't until Emma appeared and informed the shareholders that she knew.Even though she had a high fever last night, this morning she still went to the company early to recheck the documents before bringing them to the large meeting room.And to make sure the same thing didn't happen, she sat in here until the board of directors and shareholders appeared.This extraordinary shareholder meeting mainly revolves around capital sources, business plans, and dividend prices. Some shareholders want to increase the dividend price.Even though Emily was very tired, she still tried to keep her eyes open and recorded all the opinions and discussions of the leaders.The fever still torments her even though she has taken medicine. It seemed like every two hours she had a fever, and she was extremely chilled and uncomfortable.Until lunchtime, the meeting still could not come to an end. At this time, Emily's whole body was exhausted, sw
After receiving almost the entire bottle of intravenous fluid, Emily gradually regained consciousness.The moment she opened her eyes and saw Daniel's happy face, she thought she was dreaming. However, his big, warm hand helped her realize this was reality.“Deputy general director... ah, Mr. Daniel.” Emily quickly called his name because she saw him frowning when she said the first few words.“Uh, it's good that you're awake. Please eat some porridge.”As he spoke, he helped her sit up, took the warm porridge box, opened it, and carefully fed her.Her right hand was receiving intravenous fluids, so it was inconvenient to hold a spoon, so she obediently opened her mouth and let him serve her like a child.The feeling of coldness, loneliness, and self-pity in her heart was also greatly reduced thanks to this man's kindness.When the porridge box was empty, the tears she tried to suppress also broke.“Don't cry, I will be very heartbroken.”Daniel gently touched the cheek of the person
At exactly seven o'clock in the morning, Daniel drove Emily back to the hotel. He took the initiative to go out so she could comfortably shower and change clothes, then it was his turn.The feeling of sharing the living space in this room with a girl made him feel like they were a couple, almost husband and wife.“The wounds haven't completely healed yet. Besides, you told your dad you were going on a business trip for a week.”Daniel spoke up when he saw her arranging the dresses and clothes he bought and putting them into bags.Although she hadn't said anything, he understood that this was the action of someone who was about to leave.“Ah, I... I miss him and I don't feel very secure, an elderly person being at home alone...”When she said this, she immediately fell silent. Her family's current difficult financial situation needs to be kept secret. Daniel would certainly be surprised to know that her family cannot hire a maid.In the past, her father hired a maid, but now she takes
When Emily arrived, the guests had already arrived. She bowed and went to the empty chair next to Kevin and sat down.He proactively introduced her to everyone and tore off a cold towel and gave it to her. This action acts as a way to protect her from the lustful eyes of indecent men.He is now the general director of the Unicons group, and the scope of choosing relationships cannot be limited to only decent people. If they don't do anything excessive, he will still consider meeting and collaborating.If it weren't for Emma texting him, informing him that Daniel told her to book a table for two at the restaurant opposite the company, he wouldn't have brought Emily with him. He won't let the two of them have a chance to get close to each other.“Oh, sorry guys, I overslept so I'm late.”As soon as the man entered the room, he quickly apologized and then approached and shook hands with each person.He is a reporter for a famous newspaper in the North. This time he went to the South on b
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
