Chapter 31: Trying To Prevent – 2
Although Daniel came home late from a business trip, because he missed his lover so much, he drove straight to Emily’s house to meet her.
Talking on the phone did not make him miss her any less. He did not expect that one day he would miss a girl so much.
Hearing the bell ring, Emily immediately ran downstairs and rushed to the gate. She knew the person outside was him because earlier, he called and said he would come.
Looking at the man with a tired appearance, and slightly wrinkled and disheveled clothes, she felt sad in her heart. Only his smile is still the same, happy and warm.
“You’re tired so why are you still trying to come here?” She pretended to blame him.
“I miss you so much that I can’t bear it. It seems that I have to marry you quickly.”
He pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly. The smell of masculine sweat swirled around the tip of Emily’s nose and gradually covered her whole body.
Her slender arms slowly raised up, gently patting the man’s back, hoping to ease the fatigue of a working day.
“Have you had dinner yet?”
“No, I focus on driving.”
“Come in, I’ll cook dinner for you.”
Emily gently pushed Daniel away, then grabbed his big, soft hand and pulled him into the house, straight to the kitchen.
He was as obedient as a puppy, sitting still waiting for her to cook for him. Looking at the figure of the girl busy cooking, his heart was filled with happiness.
He feels that this happiness comes faster than he thought, but he hopes it will last forever, not shatter like morning dew.
“Eat a little more.”
She put some dishes on the table and sat next to him. She can only cook a few simple dishes because she’s afraid he’ll be hungry if he waits too long.
Late this afternoon, when she returned home, she heard her father say that the gangster creditors called him, reporting that the debt and interest had been paid by Daniel and saying that if he needed to borrow more, he should tell them.
However, he said he dared not have anything to do with them anymore.
“Very delicious. It’s already late and I’m still forcing you to cook, it’s been hard for you.”
Emily’s cheeks were slightly pink, a hot feeling running all over her body. For a woman, what makes them warm, cheerful, and happy is not being given expensive gifts but being recognized by their man for their efforts, even if it’s just cooking a meal or sewing a shirt.
“Emily, let’s get engaged.” He stopped chopsticks, took her hand, and suggested.
“Is that too hasty?” She was a bit shocked to hear this because after all, both of them had only confirmed their relationship for less than two days.
“No, Emily, our engagement ceremony is like a guarantee for the banks to support the Wine company to prolong the time. It’s fine if I call them, but they won’t feel secure because, as you know, there’s no guarantee that couples in love won’t break up.”
Daniel’s voice became smaller and smaller. To be honest, his words have great prestige among banks. However, just because he is insecure about her, he is afraid that she will change her decision.
Once the two of them got engaged, she would have absolutely no way back to his brother.
Daniel thought a lot about Kevin’s attitude and worried that the reason his brother objected so strongly was because he still had feelings for Emily and did not want her to enter the arms of another man.
Daniel’s worried eyes also let Emily know some of his thoughts. Maybe he was worried that she would change her mind, maybe he wasn’t confident that he could keep her, maybe what happened in the past between her and his brother made him not feel safe.
“Yes, I obey you in everything.” She smiled, picked up a piece of fried egg, and put it in his bowl.
The couple was looking at each other passionately when there was a noise and just a few seconds later, James appeared. Daniel quickly put down his bowl and chopsticks and stood up to greet him.
Since Emily agreed to be his girlfriend, he hasn’t even met her father because he doesn’t want to wake him up and disturb his rest and recuperation.
“Just keep eating, we’re like family, so don’t be so formal.” James raised his hand to signal his future son-in-law to continue eating.
“Yes.”
Although James’ pain was relieved, the bruises were still there, so he did not dare go to the company to avoid causing confusion among the employees.
He also didn’t expect Daniel to solve everything so quickly. It seems that the financial potential of Unicons Group is much greater than he thought.
After finishing the meal, Daniel asked James to allow him to get engaged to Emily. Of course, James immediately agreed.
Although James knows it will be a bit difficult for Emily when she marries her ex-lover’s younger brother, he believes Daniel will know how to arrange things, just like the way he is helping his family.
While the three of them were discussing the engagement ceremony, in front of the luxurious villa gate, Kevin’s car just stopped.
Today, he wasn’t in a good mood but he didn’t use alcohol to relieve his sadness, he just drank a little to have the courage to talk to his mother. He must prevent his younger brother’s love at all costs.
His mother’s actions and words showed that she loved that girl very much, but it seemed that he would have to disappoint her.
“Daniel hasn’t come back yet, Mom?” Kevin walked next to his mother and sat down.
“Yes, he said he was about to return, he was having dinner at his girlfriend’s house.”
She happily turned off the TV and turned to look at her son. If she had taken Daniel to meet James’s daughter that day, the two of them would have been a couple a long time ago, not waiting until now.
It turns out that her youngest son and Emily are a couple. No wonder when she invited Emily to her house for dinner and introduced her as Daniel’s future sister-in-law, the expressions of Emily and her youngest son were very strange.
After that, she didn’t know what they were arguing about, but Emily used the excuse of being busy and ran away, causing her son to quickly chase after her.
“This boy is also very secretive, causing me to think that Emily is your girlfriend. During that meal, he didn’t say anything, making the atmosphere awkward.”
Kevin clasped his hands and bowed his head in contemplation for a long time. In the end, he still decides to do as he originally intended and tells Jessica about what happened in the past between him and Emily, and asks her to object to this love affair.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
At first, Jessica was surprised, but then she became angry. It turns out that Emily is the girl who has made Kevin miserable for many years, and now she wants to become Daniel’s wife.
“You mean Daniel knew everything but still stubbornly clung to her?” Jessica tried to control her anger so as not to shout in her son’s face.
“Yes, I told him.”
“So why do you still keep her with you? Why did you hire her to work at Unicons Corporation?”
Kevin bowed his head and admitted that at first, he let Emily be by his side because he still loved her and wanted to give them both a chance to continue their unfinished love story, and during the trip to the mountainous area, he agreed to return to her side.
But on the night the two of them stayed in that village, he heard the phone call between her and James and knew that she approached him because of the Wine company’s huge debt.
After that, he kept her by his side because he didn’t want her to spend much time with his younger brother. However, that method was useless because they had already confirmed their relationship.
“So Emma is just an actor in your revenge plan?”
“Yes, but I didn’t expect that Emily would only be miserable for a moment and then start a relationship with Daniel.”
“You’re crazy, she hurt you once and you still love her? You even gave her the chance to hurt you a second time, huh?”
Jessica continuously hit Kevin on the shoulder. He did not dodge and received the blows like a soulless person.
In the end, he told his mother bad things about the girl he loved. However, there is no other way for him to stop this love affair.
He didn’t want her to fall into his younger brother’s arms because that would mean he lost her forever. Because the target was Daniel, he couldn’t act on his own.
“Don’t worry, I will stop Daniel.”
After saying that, Jessica quickly went upstairs, not wanting to wait for her youngest son to return any more.
She also did not know what ability that girl had that made her two sons miserable even though they knew she was not a good person.
A girl who puts material things first is forever unworthy to enter this noble family.
Seeing Jessica keep tossing and turning and not sleeping, Matthew couldn’t sleep either. He sat up, leaned against the headboard, and called her to sit up and talk.
Jessica did not hide anything from her husband and told him what Kevin had just said.
“Do you think there are still girls in this world who get married without looking at the economic conditions of the husband’s family? Modern women don’t live in a thatched hut with two hearts anymore. Love must be accompanied by money to last.” Matthew said softly.
“Husband, what makes me angry is because that girl hurt our Kevin. Also, the day before she said she loved Kevin and the next day she was dating Daniel. Love what? Just taking advantage.”
Matthew also felt that this matter was troublesome, but he was a man and did not want to interfere in his children’s private love affairs.
Furthermore, his sons have grown up and know what is right. He believes that Daniel is not a foolish person to the point of being confused. So he just let his wife talk to his son.
“Talk to Daniel tomorrow. It’s very difficult to talk about a couple’s love life. Okay, now go to sleep.”
After saying that, Matthew lay down and closed his eyes. He knew very well that Kevin had never said anything bad about anyone.
This time, his son revealed something hidden in the past, perhaps not simply because he was worried about Daniel.
He guessed Kevin still had feelings for Emily. Two brothers in love with the same girl gave him a headache. He only hopes that if Daniel resolutely protects this love, Kevin can give in so that the family can be in harmony.
After all, Emily is the sole heir to the Wine Company. If Unicons Group helps the Wine company escape the current crisis, it will also belong to his son’s wife in the future, not without benefits.
Wine company’s wine products are undisputed in terms of quality and consumption. Because James invested in real estate, stocks, and business fields that he did not understand, this happened.
Matthew recently heard about the Wine company’s debts after asking a senior employee at NA Bank.
