Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

Cecelia took pity on him when she saw him staying here to escape sorrows and wanted to take him back, but Kevin only gave her cold shoulders and never eased up.

When persuasion failed, Cecelia had to go back home first, and she decided to take him away the next day. But he had gone when she came again.

Cecelia immediately sent for him, but half a month passed, and she heard nothing from him.

A line of guards now stood before Cecelia, all with their heads down, listening to her complaints and daring not to say anything.

"What are you still doing here? Keep looking!" Cecelia got more annoyed at their silence.

At the same time, Mrs. Smith was about to go downstairs when she saw the scene in the living room and frowned.

Her daughter had always been an elegant lady under her strict disciplinarian, at least in the presence of her and her husband, and she had never lost her temper in front of the guards.

But now, her behavior was a bit strange.

Mrs. Smith didn't understand why she had to seek out her bastard brother secretly. Cecelia explained that she was afraid Kevin would have an accident in a depressed condition after his wedding was off.

Actually, since Kevin was found by Robert and came to the Smith's house once, Cecelia's temper had changed quietly. She had been very good-natured and easy-going before, but now she seemed to be more rebellious.

As a mother and woman, Mrs. Smith could feel the change.

At that moment, a guard rushed in and came to Cecelia.

"Miss, we've found out where Mr. Wills is."

"Where's he?" Cecelia looked at the guard, almost cheerfully.

"He'd just been back to JK. I'm not sure if he's still here..."

Before the guard could finish, Cecelia ran out of the house like the wind.

The guard was stunned for a moment and hurried after her.

Mrs. Smith's eyes darkened. The strange behavior of her daughter looked unnatural. An eerie, uneasy feeling gripped her.

She took out her cell phone and dialed a number.

***

At JK office.

Kevin came back to the company today to plow through the backlog of work.

It was time to get back to normal life after spending so much time calming down outside.

He was checking a recent project when his phone rang. He didn't look at the screen before he answered it.

"Hello, Kevin Wills."

A familiar, awkward female voice said, "Mr. Wills, it's me."

Kevin recognized this was Mrs. Smith's voice. But what did she call him for? Recovering from his first shock, he asked dryly, "Mrs. Smith, what do you want?"

"I don't know what happened between you and Cecelia, and by what means you changed her into another person. She's been looking for you like a maniac these days, ignoring her study, and refused to listen to her father or me. I admit that I had done something wrong, but if you want to revenge me for your hard times, just come to me and let Cecelia alone, okay?" Mrs. Smith cut to the chase.

"I never had anything to do with your daughter, and I don't have time to do anything to her," Kevin replied coldly.

"Then why is she out of mind for you? She didn't even take the class well and kept looking for you these days. As soon as she heard that you're in JK, she rushed out to look for you! Kevin, she's your sister. She's related to you by blood! Please keep away from her!" Mrs. Smith was more and more excited while speaking.

"I kept telling her not to look for me. But she wouldn't listen. I can't help," Kevin replied coldly, repressing the uneasy feeling in his heart.

"That's all right, I don't mind if you say something harsh to her. It will be better if you can leave LA... Cecelia's only a little girl. After a while, she will give up and forget you." Mrs. Smith softened her tone.

Kevin didn't answer.

Mrs. Smith almost lost her temper. She was more convinced that Kevin still had hatred and approached Cecelia for revenge.

"Kevin, I know you hate Robert and me for what you and your birth mother had suffered, but Cecelia is innocent. Please vent your anger on me and don't hurt Cecelia…" She continued, pleading.

Kevin didn't expect that Mrs. Smith, the wife of the governor, who always put on airs, would be so humble to a bastard whom she had always despised.

And all this was for her daughter.

He never had in his life enjoyed the tender treatment of his mother.

In order to protect her child, a proud woman would rather lower herself to such a degree in front of her husband's illegitimate child.

The feeling of being loved by a mother must be really good.

Unfortunately, he would never have a chance to enjoy it.

That girl was far happier than he was.

Kevin hung up the phone and called Dan in.

"Book a flight to Italy for me right away. If no ticket to Italy, any flight to Europe is okay." He ordered as he turned off his laptop.

"Why are you going abroad all of a sudden? In such a hurry?" Dan was surprised.

"Don't ask. I'm going to the airport now. Tell me the flight when you've done." Kevin threw his coat on him and walked out with his laptop.

"It's not all that urgent, is it? You'll at least take some luggage with you, won't you?" Dan chased him to the elevator.

"Just pick some clothes up and send them by international express. Thanks, guy." Kevin threw the keys of his apartment into Dan's hand before he went into the elevator.

Dan gasped, and before he could say more, Kevin added as the door closed, "don't tell anyone where I go no matter who comes to look for me."

Dan let out a sigh and called the secretary.

He was about to come back to his own office when rapid footsteps approached.

A slender figure came hurrying in, closely followed by a man in a dark green uniform who looked like a guard.

The girl looked around anxiously, hurried into Kevin's office, and then ran out, walking up to Dan.

"Where's he?" Cecelia tiptoed and grabbed him by the collar.

Dan gasped. Of course, he knew who the girl was.
