Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

"Because we have no occasion to meet again."Charlotte held her arms and said coolly before she turned to go.

Edmond, suddenly excited, rushed towards to grab her arm. "Charlotte, I was crippled for you. My future is ruined because of you! How can you treat me like this..."

Charlotte let out a low squeal as if touched by something nasty. She shook his hand off and said in a low voice, "I didn't point a gun to you to ask you to do anything for me. You were willing to do everything yourself! I'm going to marry Dylan, don't come to me again!"

"Don't lie to me!" Edmond's eyes were bloodshot."I know you were getting engaged to Sterling the other day, but your engagement party was canceled at last. He's not going to marry you! I have told you that the man had never taken you to heart. He promised to engage with you only to annoy Schultz, didn't he?"

"Don't talk nonsense!"Charlotte, feeling unbearable pain, pushed Edmond to the ground angrily.

Then she ran in.

Back in her room, she was out of breath for a long time, and her mood was not silent.

Edmond's words reverberated in her mind.

He's not going to marry you.

He had never taken you to heart.

He promised to engage you only to annoy Schultz.

Each word hit her like a hammer, taking her breath away.

Night fell, but Charlotte didn't feel hungry at all. She was still filled with annoyance and anger.

After a long time, the dead silence was broken by the knock on the door.

"Miss..."

"I said I wouldn't eat! Get out!"

"But…Mr. Gibbons has not left. Now it's raining, and he is still standing in the doorway, drenched... Do you want me to call security?" The maid said helplessly.

Had Edmond not gone yet?

If he had killed Savannah in his car at that time, there would not be so much trouble now!

What a good-for-nothing!

Charlotte transferred her anger to Edmond. She was about to tell her maid to ask the security guard to drag Edmond away when suddenly she changed her mind.

"I'll go out to see," she said and took an umbrella out.

Sure enough, Edmond was still standing outside the door of the villa.

"Charlotte!"He was surprised to see her come out again.

Holding back her disgust, Charlotte went over and held the umbrella over him.

"What are you doing here?" She asked with a sigh.

Edmond, however, thought he had finally moved her.

"I would do anything to see you," he said, looking at her fervently, "Charlotte, don't ignore me again, please..."

Charlotte raised her hand and gently wiped the rain off his face. "Come in first. Lest you catch a cold," she said softly as she led him in.

Edmond followed her into the villa excitedly.

After sitting down, Charlotte sent her maid to bring Edmond a cup of hot ginger tea to warm him up.

Edmond sipped the tea as if he were drinking the best nectar in the world. When he finished the tea and looked at Charlotte, he found her quiet and unhappy.

"Charlotte, I know you're in a bad mood... No matter what Dylan did to you, I'll always be there for you," he said softly.

Charlotte's brows wrinkled a little.

"Nothing," she sighed slightly, "you don't have to worry about me."

"Come on, I've really got a thing about you. Tell me what I can do for you."

Charlotte bit her lip, and the tears burst out of her eyes.

"Charlotte? What happened?" Startled, Edmond stood up to comfort her.

Charlotte wept and crept with tears into his arms.

"Don't cry, my girl, I will do anything for you!" Edmond felt heartbroken at her tears and held her in a grip.

"Edmond, it's so distasteful. If only Savannah didn't exist in this world! She goes against me everywhere. I will not be happy as long as she's still in this world..." Charlotte's tears flooded Edmond's skirt.

"Forget it... Since Dylan still likes her, just leave him." He smoothed her tear-dampened hair away from her face. After he was almost beaten to death by Dylan, he really dared not do anything to his woman again.

"I'm not just depressed because of Dylan. Do you know? All that my family suffered these days had been done by her. Because of her, my brother's still in the detention center, and because of her, my grandma's paralyzed in bed and could not recover for the rest of her life. Why… my grandma is so old, why can't that bitch let her go..." Charlotte cried her heart out.

Seeing Charlotte's grievance and hearing that Savannah had done so many evil things, Edmond clenched his fist, aflame with indignation.

"She bullied you so much!"

Charlotte cried harder and held him by the neck tighter.

Edmond felt flattered, and again his heroic spirit appeared.

"Rest assured. I will not allow you to be bullied again!" He gritted his teeth and made a decision.

On Friday afternoon, Savannah took a taxi to Kaiden's kindergarten after work.

She promised to pick Kaiden up and take him to the playground today, and then they would spend the night in Green Bay.

Because of the traffic jam during rush hour, the kindergarten was almost empty by the time she arrived.

Savannah hurried to Kaiden's class and just saw his teacher walking out.

"Excuse me, I come to pick up Kaiden, is he here?"

"Didn't you see him when you came in? He said he was bored waiting in the classroom alone, so he went to play on the slide in the playground." The teacher looked surprised.

"I didn't see him when I passed the playground," Savannah said anxiously.

The teacher's face changed too. She hurried to the playground with Savannah.

The playground was empty.

They searched the washroom, the game room but still did not find Kaiden.

The teacher got very worried. The kindergarten's security was always pretty good, and no such a thing as the missing of a kid had ever before occurred.

Savannah took out her phone and was about to call the police when it rang.

It was a strange number.

She had a bad feeling.
