Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

"Dylan, it's my first time driving a car alone. How am I doing? I still feel not very good, why don't you accompany me to the next vacant land to practice again?" ventured Charlotte, pointing to the empty road not far away from the villa.

Dylan caught a glimpse of the road. It was just dark enough for young lovers to do some intimate things.

"You did a good job, and you can absolutely drive alone. No more training," he said drily.

Charlotte was a little disappointed. She saw the hope when Dylan came to her house for dinner every time her grandma invited him, but he still kept a distance from her.

She couldn't figure out what Dylan was up to...

At the same time, Kaiden stood by the window in his toy room, holding the ball in his arms, and watched the scene below. He gave an unhappy snort and threw the ball away.

He knew that his dad went to the Rowe family for dinner several times recently, with Aunt Rowe.

Today, Aunt Rowe even sent his father back! She seemed to try to stay with his dad a little longer, but fortunately, his dad got off without more hesitation, otherwise, he would kick the aunt out for his mommy.

Anyway, he still had to report the situation to his mommy!

Kaiden took out his little mobile phone and sent a voice message to Savannah, telling her that his dad often went to the Rowe family for dinner and had frequent contact with Aunt Rowe recently.

He had just finished when Garwood came in.

"Kaiden, your father's back. What are you doing?" Garwood asked curiously.

Kaiden quickly put the phone away, picking up the ball, and blinked his big eyes, "why did daddy get so close to that aunt recently? Daddy didn't like her."

The last time Aunt Rowe came to Sterling's house for dinner, dad wasn't very good with her. If it were not for grandpa, dad wouldn't even talk to her.

Garwood sighed silently.

Maybe Mr. Sterling wanted to forget Miss Schultz, so he tried to accept another woman coming into his life.

But it seemed that this method did not go as well as expected. He still needed time to start a new relationship.

Of course, Garwood didn't explain this to Kaiden. It was too complicated for the little boy.

Late at night, Savannah repeatedly listened to the voice message from Kaiden, tossing and turning.

The man began to get closer to Charlotte.

In fact, even if Kaiden did not tell her, she had heard it from her mother.

Joanne called her every day, and on that day, she asked if she still had feelings for Dylan and mentioned that Charlotte's grandmother was trying to set them up.

Joanne was probably worried that she still liked Dylan, so she would be sad to see Dylan and Charlotte get intimate.

She did feel upset, but she thought it was not because she had feelings for him. If Dylan and Charlotte were together, how could she ever get close to that man again? How could she use his power to retaliate against the Rowe family?

The thought kept her awake.

She couldn't wait any longer. She must get him back before he accepts Charlotte.

But now, she was not allowed to go to his company. She couldn't even see him. How could she get him back?

She couldn't use Kaiden again. It seemed that the only way was to go straight to where he lived.

Beverly Hills

It was late at night. After playing with the toys for a while, Kaiden was taken to his room to sleep.

Dylan walked out of his study for his bedroom. When he passed the corridor, he glanced out the window and stopped.

At the door of the villa, a small woman was standing under a streetlamp.

It was freezing these days. The wind blew hard in the night, cutting through her thin clothes. She shivered in the wind like the last leaf on a dying tree, but she had no intention to leave.

He thought his eyes deceived him and peered close to the frosted window. It was really her.

The security was very strict in this residential area. Strangers were not allowed to come in without the owner's permission.

She could not get in and seemed to guess that he would not see her, so she stood at the gate, looking from time to time at his house.

Good. He didn't let her go to the company, so she came to his house waiting for him.

Just then, Judy came upstairs.

"Sir, just now, the security guard called and said a lady is waiting for you at the gate. I just took a look, and the lady seems to be Savannah... Shall I ask her in?" She asked at the stairs.

"No," Dylan replied simply.

"It's a little cold and windy tonight. She might catch a cold…" Judy said in a weak voice.

"No one forced her to come. Since she likes standing in the wind, keep her waiting." Dylan went straight into the bedroom in an impassive way.

With a bang, the bedroom door closed. Judy looked out the window at the thin figure and sighed.

Back in the bedroom, Dylan took a shower and changed into his night-robe. Before he went to bed, he moved to the balcony and took a look at the direction of the front gate.

Savannah was still there in the dim light. She tried to make herself more compact, stamping her foot and sometimes blew hot breath on her hands. It turned colder outside as the night grew darker.

He narrowed his eyes and was about to return to the room when he felt a few spots of cold rain.

It was raining.

He frowned and entered the room without another glance at her.

Just as he went to bed, there was a knock on the door, and Judy's face appeared around the edge of the door.

"Sir, it's raining. Shall I ask Savannah in?"

Dylan suddenly felt upset and disturbed by the figure in his mind. He got off the bed and strode impatiently out of the bedroom, out of the villa, to the door, and stopped in front of the little woman.

Savannah was stamping to hold the circulation when she heard footsteps in the silent rain. She looked up and saw Dylan standing in front of her.

He was wearing a white night-robe, open at the collar. His unruly hair was a little damp from the rain.
