Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

She had divorced him and promised never to see him again, and he also seemed to have given up on her. Although he helped her with the file last time, he did not contact her directly. He did not even make a phone call to her in person. He didn't want to get involved in her life anymore. Maybe he would turn his back to her if she went to see him. If she wanted to approach him again, she had to use her own son.

Getting off the merry-go-round, Kaiden hopped up to Savannah. Savannah wiped away the sweat from his forehead and then held his hand. She turned and was ready to go to the next project, only to see a tall and cool figure standing in front of her. His handsome face was, however, not as bright as the colorful light in the park. He was staring at her, like an owl in the dark night.

Several bodyguards were standing behind him not far away.

Dylan came.

Her heart was beating violently. It should be what she had expected, but she was very nervous to see him.

"Daddy." Kaiden gasped, not expecting his father to be here so soon.

"Louis went to pick you up at the kindergarten, only to learn that you had run away with someone and not even called him. Kaiden, you are getting bolder and bolder." Dylan looked at his son, coldly.

Kaiden hid behind Savannah. Dad is going to lose his temper. It's terrible!

Savannah quickly stood forward a step, taking a deep breath.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Sterling, it's my fault. I miss Kaiden very much, so I went to pick him up and took him out to play. I forgot to call you in advance."

Dylan's gaze moved to her small face. He didn't say anything to blame her, as if he didn't notice what she had said. He ignored her and went directly to Kaiden.

"Go back with me." He tried to catch a grip on his hand, but Kaiden shunned and clutched Savannah's leg.

"No," he hadn't had enough fun yet, "I only played on a merry-go-round. We're going to try other amusement items!"

"Your mom's leaving soon, she has no time to play with you. Go back with me!" Dylan snapped, reaching for his hand.

"Mommy won't leave!" Kaiden winced into Savannah's arms.

Dylan paused, looking at her.

Savannah hung her head and murmured, "Now that we're here, please let Kaiden have more fun with me tonight. You said that I could visit Kaiden at any time."

Dylan said nothing more.

Savannah took Kaiden's hand and was about to go to a nearby game when Kaiden grabbed Dylan's hand and said, "Daddy, play with mommy and me!"

"Kaiden!" Savannah pinched his hand gently.

Dylan thought for a few seconds before taking Kaiden's hand.

Kaiden gave a shout of joy.

This evening, Kaiden had a really nice time with Dylan and Savannah in the amusement park. It was late at night before they left. At the gate, Kaiden, exhausted, was carried into the car by Louis and immediately fell asleep.

"Mr. Sterling, are you sending Miss Schultz home?" Garwood asked.

Dylan looked back and saw Savannah standing under the streetlamp. He was silent for a moment before he said to Savannah, "Garwood will drive you back." He got into the car which Kaiden was in.

Garwood was nonplussed for a moment, and then he reacted and walked to Savannah.

"Miss Schultz, it's late. Please get in the car, and I'll send you home."

Savannah bit her lip as she watched Dylan's car riding away.

It seemed that the man was still angry with her.

Although she had spent the night with Kaiden and him, he had said nothing to her.

There was an invisible wall between them. Maybe she really hurt him too much before. And now she got the dose of her own medicine.

But if he kept being so cold to her, how could she avenge herself on the Rowe family by his power?

The next morning, Beverly Hills

Under the early morning sun, Dylan, in a white shirt, was reading the morning news on a chair by the French window.

"Sir," Garwood came to him.

"Got it?" Dylan looked up from the newspaper.

"Well. The reason Miss Schultz changed her schedule and stayed is that she found her own mother."

"Oh?" She found her mother, who disappeared more than ten years ago? "Who is she?"

"Ethan Rowe's second wife, Joanne Rowe. She's from the GTN group in Chicago," Garwood said.

Mrs. Rowe? The stepmother of Lionel and Charlotte? Dylan suddenly understood why Lionel had been so nice to Savannah. He probably knew early that the little woman was his stepmother's own daughter, his nominal sister.

"Mrs. Rowe is one of the most famous beauties in Chicago. Well, Miss Schultz does look kind of like her." Garwood met Joanne twice when he accompanied Mr. Sterling to business dinners. "Miss Schultz's father died early, and she had a bad relationship with her uncle and aunt. Now she finally found her own mother and wanted to spend more time with her, which is totally understandable."

Garwood stole a look at Mr. Sterling, who looked not very happy.

Well, though Miss Schultz would not go to Italy for the time being, she didn't stay for him.

Kevin, leaning on his cane, stood at the flower bed in a park not far away from his apartment, silent for a long time. His expression was a little complicated.

Dan was standing next to him and just told him that Savannah met Dylan yesterday and took Kaiden to the amusement park together.

They met again.

"Kevin, would you like to meet Savannah and ask her? After all, now that you're in a relationship, you're her boyfriend, and you have the right," said Dan inquiringly.

Kevin regained his composure and shook his head. "No. I believe Savannah."

However, he could also hear the uncertainty in his tone.

"Do you really believe her? She suddenly changed her mind to stay in LA and let you go back to Italy first. Do you think... it's really for her mother?" Dan looked at him.

Dan was right. He had been wondering what the hell made her decide to stay, and he was more confused now. Was it because of Dylan?

"Thank you, Dan."

"Let me help you up." Dan looked at him, a little worried about his good friend and boss.

"No, go ahead, I can go back myself."

Dan didn't insist. He sighed and left for his car.

Kevin was about to go home when a familiar female voice called behind him, "Mr. Wills."

He turned and saw Charlotte.

"What are you doing here?" Kevin frowned.
