Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

The butler was so angry to know what happened to his daughter. He was not in good health and got badly ill after that. Finally, he resigned and left the Smith family with his daughter. Shortly afterward, the butler became weaker and weaker as his daughter's belly grew bigger and bigger. Then he had a stroke and passed away.

The butler's daughter lived alone from then on.

Robert felt very guilty when he knew this. He arranged another house for the girl and visited her often, and he also prepared some servants to take care of her when she was about to give birth.

Maybe it was because the couple scarcely had any passion for each other or something, Mrs. Smith had not given him a kid at that time.

When Mrs. Smith found out what happened to her husband and the butler's daughter, how could she bear it? Especially when she heard that the girl was pregnant and her husband often visited her.

If the girl gave Robert a son, Mrs. Smith's position might be threatened.

Even if she did not love her husband, and they quarreled with each other every day, she could not tolerate her position being threatened.

So, Mrs. Smith sent someone to humiliate Kevin's mother many times. Finally, Kevin's mother sneaked out of the house Robert arranged for her. At that time, she was just 18 years old.

How could a pregnant girl of eighteen without even a job be able to take good care of herself? She just wanted to get away from the place where she got too much humiliation. She was so weak when she gave birth to Kevin that she died because of dystocia.

Before her last breath, she gave her poor son the name Kevin Wills. Wills was her family name.

The nurse of the hospital was very kind. She only knew that this young mother was from California, so she sent Kevin to the orphanage in LA, hoping he could be closer to his family.

That was all that had happened to Kevin and his mother.

His mother was the other woman in the eyes of common people, but she never wanted to be a homewrecker. She was just a victim.

When Kevin did not know who his parents were, he had looked forward to finding them. He had also found hundreds of reasons for his parents to abandon him. It must be a helpless choice.

But he never thought the fact was so ugly. His resentment and discontent with his father were reasonable. So, even Robert found him, he refused to admit he was his father.

Until today --

For Savannah, he took the initiative to contact Robert and even asked him for help.

Savannah was the most important one in his life, and he could not lose her.

Even if he had vowed not to associate with his father for the rest of his life, he was willing to let go of it for Savannah.

Kevin closed the door silently.

Robert took a deep breath and left.

Green Bay

An atmosphere of tension filled the house.

Dylan looked fatigued on the sofa in the living room. His unshaven face and the dark circles under his eyes showed that he had not had a good sleep for two days.

Cooper, sent here by old Sterling to follow the progress, stood silently by with Sophie and Garcia.

The whole Sterling family had been in a panic since Savannah disappeared two nights ago.

Old Sterling almost popped off with rage.

According to Garcia, Savannah took a taxi out. Dylan sent his subordinates to check the monitoring records along the road. He found that Savannah got off the taxi at the park not far away. However, the monitor system across the road was bad, and they couldn't see where Savannah went.

They searched the park and found no trace of Savannah. Then Dylan contacted Olivia, who said they didn't have an appointment.

Garcia felt so bad, weeping in shame and fear. She should have followed Savannah out. Savannah was pregnant now. What if something happened to her? Dylan didn't blame her, but she accused herself all the time and almost fainted.

"Excuse me." At this moment, there came a sweet girl's voice from the door, "Dylan, have you found Miss Schultz?"

Charlotte, accompanied by the nursing assistant, came and stood at the door. She was not well, and still looked weak.

Garcia wiped away her tears and bit her teeth. What was this bitch coming for? Savannah became so lost and depressed after meeting her, and then she insisted on going out alone in a bad mood. It must be that the woman said something to Savannah and made Savannah disappear!

Dylan had learned from Garcia that Charlotte had asked Savannah out that day. He called and asked Charlotte about their meeting, but he did not expect Charlotte would come in person.

"What are you doing here? You've not recovered yet. Ask the driver to take you home." He scowled at Charlotte.

Charlotte burst into tears. "Dylan, I came to see if you need any help. My brother's also very worried when he heard that Miss Schultz is missing. He wants to help."

"No, thanks," Dylan said impatiently. He had sought for two days but did not find the little woman, what could Lionel help as a newcomer?

Charlotte seemed to be very anxious. She wanted to say something but was choked by a fit of coughing. The nursing assistant hurriedly patted her on the back, "Miss Rowe, you can't get so excited. You're not well yet."

Charlotte looked longingly at Dylan, neither daring to enter the room nor willing to leave.

"Come in first." Dylan rubbed his eyebrows and softened his tone.

Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief. She walked into the living room with the help of the nursing assistant and sat down next to Dylan.

"Yes, I met Miss Schultz that morning. But believe me, I never said sharp words to her," she whispered, "I felt very sorry that your wedding was postponed because of me, so I went to apologize to her. I promised her that I would not bother you in the future. I swear, I really didn't say more!"

Charlotte got more and more excited and began to cough badly again. She covered her mouth, and when she calmed down, there was some blood in the palm of her hand. Hastily she closed her hand as if she didn't want Dylan to notice it.

Dylan swallowed his anger. No matter whether Savannah went missing because of Charlotte or not, the most important thing now was to find the little woman, not to blame anyone.
