Chapter 38: Love Has Not Faded Yet
“Swipe card.” Daniel gave the black card to the employee and said.
“Yes.”
The employee quickly swiped the card to pay and put the ring box in the bag, giving it to Daniel. She didn’t forget to glance at Emily again.
She felt admiration for this girl. If it were another girl, they would have chosen a more elaborate ring.
No wonder the deputy general director of Unicons loves Emily and wants to get married quickly.
The fact that Daniel frequently picks up and appears next to Emily recently has been buzzing within the company, so people like this employee know all about it.
“Emily, don’t care what others say, just do what you like, I will support you.” He held her small hand and spoke gently.
“Yes, thank you.”
Leaving the jewelry store, Daniel took Emily out to eat and then to the riverbank bordering the city and its suburbs.
He said that when he passed by here before, he saw a few couples sitting by the river talking, he didn’t feel anything but since he fell in love with her, he felt it was very romantic and wanted to try it once.
The night dew had wet the soft grass along the riverbank, so he quickly took out his vest and spread it down for her to sit on. This action made Emily suddenly remember her old lover.
In the past, Kevin also did the same every time he came here with her. His jacket is old, a popular product, and the means of transportation they use is a cheap taxi.
That year, there was not much electricity along the riverbank and the river water surface was not as beautiful as it is now.
“Do you feel like the river surface at night is wearing a sparkling evening gown?” She leaned on his shoulder and asked softly.
“In the designer’s eyes, everything is related to fashion.” He nodded, his arms tightening around her.
The lonely night wind blew, the night was quiet, and the gentle breath and feminine scent wafted in the air, playing with the tip of his nose, making his feelings for her grow even more intense.
He wanted to kiss her and say a thousand words of love, but the moment she avoided his kiss in the park that night made him restrain himself.
Maybe she needs some time because to be honest, this love story is progressing too fast and the reason is because he is afraid of losing her so he wants to keep her by his side first, the relationship will slowly build.
Day after day passed and then the day that Daniel had been waiting for had arrived. Right at dawn, he woke up and prepared.
Jessica was moved to see her youngest son looking handsome in a white suit. At this moment, she believed that Daniel had grown up.
“Mom, why are you crying? Today is a happy day for our whole family.” He held her hands and spoke gently.
“Yes, I’m about to give you away to someone else so I’m so emotional.” Jessica turned her face to the side, raised a towel to quickly wipe away her tears.
“Oh my god, you brought someone else’s daughter to your house, why did you say you gave me to someone else?”
Daniel hugged his mother and gently rubbed her back to comfort her. A few days ago, he also told his parents about living with Emily in the future.
Maybe he and she will buy a house or he will move to her house to conveniently take care of her father and also so that his wife and his brother won’t be awkward when they have to face each other in daily activities.
It’s different at the company, but when everyone goes home, he knows everyone needs to relax and not try to endure.
Inside the room covered in gray tones, Kevin is still sitting quietly on the large bed, in his hand is a white gold bracelet with diamonds, extremely delicate and very expensive.
Yesterday, he stopped by the Unicons group’s jewelry store to buy it. He once promised her that he would buy it for her to make up for the bracelet she lost.
But this time, he will give it to her in the name of a husband’s brother giving a sister-in-law, not as lovers giving gifts to each other.
Hearing the knock on the door, Kevin quickly hid the bracelet. And when he saw Daniel walk in, he immediately smiled friendly. He didn’t expect this kid to surpass his brother and dare to get married first.
“Brother, don’t forget to go to the engagement ceremony.” Daniel lowered his voice as if pleading.
“Uh, of course.”
“Now I’ll go pick up Emily and then go there. She needs makeup and hair done too.”
“Yes, drive carefully. I’ll go pick up Emma later and run there later.”
Only Kevin’s mother and father knew that the love affair with Emma was just a play and he also told them not to tell Daniel.
He plans to announce to his family at the end of this year that he and she have gone their separate ways, everything will be returned to the way it was, and no one will be affected.
At the same time, at Emily’s house, James and she were also ready to wait for Daniel to arrive.
Although the engagement ceremony was held at a restaurant, the altar in the house was also decorated, extremely meticulous, and beautiful.
She felt regretful because she didn’t have her mother by her side, but she believed her mother would see.
“Mom, please give us the blessing. Your future son-in-law is a very wonderful guy.”
Just as Emily finished whispering, Daniel’s car just parked right in front of the gate. Hearing her father call, she immediately followed him out.
Looking at the man shining in a pure white suit, her heart suddenly skipped a beat and her face suddenly turned red.
After the engagement ceremony ended, it also meant that she was his wife and in just one month, the wedding would be held.
“Daniel.”
“Let’s go, the makeup artist is waiting.”
She obediently gave her hand for him to lead her to the car. And James sat in a relative’s car.
Since yesterday afternoon, his relatives have come here to stay the night. They all lived in the countryside so they arrived a day in advance, afraid that if they left in the morning they would be late if something went wrong. His wife was originally an orphan, so Emily only had relatives on her father’s side.
When the car turned into the main gate, Emily was deeply moved when she saw so many roses decorated around as if Daniel had brought an entire valley of flowers here. He turned this engagement ceremony into a wonderland just for her.
“Why are there so many flowers? It must have cost a lot of money.” She turned to him, frowning slightly.
“Don’t worry, it’s not as expensive as you. If I can bring you back with me, then that amount of money is nothing. Emily, this is a moment we only experience once in our lives.”
After speaking, he quickly unfastened his seat belt, got out of the car, then opened the car door, and stretched out his hand.
She knew this man had melted her. It seems like Daniel is the type of person that everyone who meets him will love him, and flowers that meet him will bloom.
The makeup artist was standing in the room. When she saw the couple entering, she bowed very politely.
She originally thought that this classmate of hers would get married when he turned forty because they had known him for a long time, but she hadn’t heard him say anything about his girlfriend.
Who would have thought that in just a blink of an eye, his future bride would appear, causing his close friends to fall backward, almost in shock?
“Feel free to put on your makeup, leave the guests outside to me to welcome.”
He forced her to sit down on the chair, kissed her lightly on the top of her head, and quickly left.
Of course, the engagement ceremony of the second heir of the Unicons group will have the presence of reporters.
Daniel was not difficult at all and he still asked the bodyguards to arrange a place for the reporters so they could easily take pictures and ask a few questions after the rituals ended.
“Let us begin. Daniel said his future wife is already beautiful, so he said I don’t need to put too much makeup on her.”
Hearing what the makeup artist said, Emily burst out laughing. She asked him to tell his friend that. She didn’t want to appear in front of a crowd with a big, chalky face.
Kevin once said that what she likes often gives others a feeling of blandness, simplicity, and ease of response.
But he said he liked her like that, like clear water, not turbid. But now she knows that he no longer considers her as clear water.
“Okay, change your dress and wait for the groom to come in and lead you out.”
Emily nodded and went inside the curtain, took off the dress she was wearing, and put on a new dress. Today, she also feels that she is very beautiful.
Because it was not yet time for the ceremony, she waited in the room, while the makeup artist ran to another room to do makeup for the bridesmaids, who were Daniel’s close friends.
She felt a little sorry for herself because she didn’t even have a close friend to ask to be her bridesmaid.
Since the day she chose to stand next to Kevin, her friends gradually shunned her, and after five years of returning from studying abroad, besides her father, she had no one close to her in this city.
“Daniel, I’m lucky because I have you now.” She looked out the window, where the pink curtain was occasionally blown aside by the wind from the fan, revealing the hallway outside.
Seeing the door slightly open, she thought it was Daniel but no, the person entering was Kevin. Today, like every day, he wears a dark suit and a white shirt underneath, elegant and cold.
Her hands suddenly tightened on her white dress, her heart beat fast and her eyes kept looking at the man who was gradually approaching her.
At the company, they face each other every day because of the nature of their work, but she knows that here, he is probably looking for her for personal reasons.
“Kevin…”
“Uh. Don’t be nervous, I came to fulfill my promise.”
After saying that, he took out the bracelet, moved closer to her, knelt, gently took her hand, and carefully put it on.
At this moment, time and space around them seemed to be frozen. Kevin tried to smile to hide the tears and the blood that was leaking from his heart. In the end, he could only wear a bracelet for her, not a ring.
Emily was not much better, tears slowly rose, spilled over the corners of her eyes, and fell, shattering on the white dress.
Wasn’t that promise also included in the plan to trap her to take revenge on her? Why should he perform it?
To be honest, she didn’t blame him, she was also at fault for not telling him the truth, making him forever misunderstand her as the one who betrayed him.NôvelDrama.Org © content.
