Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Savannah jumped out of bed and pound on the door.

"Dylan! What are you doing locking me in?"

"I'll let you out when they open the door tomorrow. Good night," he said dryly.

He and she were like strangers now.

He didn't want to take her under the impulse of desire.

But he had to admit that he had really come so close to throwing away his helmet and armor in front of her.

Only by locking her in and isolating her could he suppress the beast in him.

If the little woman seduced him again, there was no guarantee that he would be able to control himself.

Dylan stared at the closed bedroom door, repressing the heat in him.

The next day, early in the morning.

The Sterling's house

Old Sterling had just watched Louis drive Kaiden to the kindergarten when the Maybach pulled into the carved gates of the mansion.

His face lit up right away as Dylan and Savannah got out of the car.

Savannah, somewhat embarrassed to look at old Sterling, said hello to him with her head drooped and hurried in.

Dylan went up to his father with a gloomy face.

"How was last night, Dylan?" Old Sterling asked, grinning at him.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you. All that you prepared were not used," Dylan replied coldly.

Old Sterling looked a little embarrassed and disappointed.

"Please don't make any further arrangements," Dylan continued, "Go fishing or raise birds, or take care of your flowers if you're bored, will you?"

No one would like his father to have a hand in his affairs!

With that, Dylan stormed into the house.

Butler Cooper came up quietly and asked,

"Sir, what's up? Didn't Mr. Sterling and Miss Schultz have anything last night?"

"Would he still be so angry if something happened?" Old Sterling heaved a great sigh that made the ends of his beard flutter.

Cooper blushed.

"Didn't you make arrangements as I told you? Or are they not popular among young people now?" Old Sterling frowned and started to blame his old butler.

Cooper smiled bitterly, "I... I had asked the manager of the hotel to prepare the VIP suite according to the most booked couple rooms... Generally speaking, young men and women should... should not be able to control themselves..."

Who knew that Mr. Sterling was a man of iron self-control?

Old Sterling sighed again.

He wanted the two to get back together soon, so he came up with this idea.

After all, sex was the best way to bring a relationship closer.

But it didn't seem to work.

He had to do something else.

***

In the following days, Savannah went to work early and came home late, trying not to see Dylan face to face.

Even when they met in the mansion, she just buried her head and passed by him in a hurry without a word.

She felt so embarrassed after she asked for sex, but he pushed her away again in the hotel that night.

What's more, she was also very disappointed.

Didn't he have a little memory or affection about her?

***

This night, when Savannah came back and saw Dylan sitting in the dining room with old Sterling and Kaiden, she pretended not to see them and went to the stairs quietly.

"Mommy!" Kaiden, however, with sharp eyes, saw Savannah.

"Savannah, come eat. Wash your hands first," old Sterling called kindly.

Savannah walked into the dining room, reluctantly.

"Sir, I've eaten at the company... You guys can continue, I will go upstairs," She murmured.

"You're so busy that you need to eat more. If you lose weight, your grandfather will call to blame me." Old Sterling knew that she hadn't spoken much to Dylan recently and seemed to avoid him, and of course, he wouldn't let her go easily.

He asked the servant to get another set of tableware and glanced at Dylan.

"Dylan, tell Savannah to sit down."

Dylan took a look at Savannah and said dryly, "Just eat some more. "

Savannah had to sit down, ready to get out of here after she took a few bites.

Dylan's brow furrowed as she chose the seat farthest from him.

These days, the little woman had been avoiding him, completely different from her initiative enthusiasm. He couldn't help but feel a bit uncomfortable and disappointed. He saw how she hesitated when he invited her to have dinner with them.

But what was the matter with him?

He didn't remember her at all, let alone have any feelings. It shouldn't matter to him even if she wanted to leave him.

"Mommy, why are you so far away from daddy?" Kaiden looked unsatisfied.

Savannah just wanted to hurry back to her room. She took a sip of the soup and was almost choked. "No, I…I didn't notice that..."

Dylan's face darkened. It was clear that she sat deliberately far from him.

At that moment, Savannah's mobile phone rang, saving her from the awkwardness. She put down the spoon, said sorry, and walked away to answer the phone.

Soon she came back.

"Who's that? The company?" "Old Sterling asked casually.

Savannah hesitated and looked at Dylan. "It's my tutor in Italy."

Dylan's eyelids fluttered a moment.

"Oh, what's up with your tutor?" Old Sterling understood immediately that it was Savannah's tutor in the school that she studied design.

"In fact, I should have gone back to take the final exams and thesis defense long ago, but I've been delayed again and again in LA... The school hurried me several times and let me try to go back this month to get the diploma," Savannah said.

Old Sterling looked at Dylan and then at Savannah. "Oh, yes. How long will you be gone?"

"About a month."

"So long?" cried old Sterling and Kaiden, looking at Dylan and waiting for him to say something.

Dylan frowned but kept silent.

Kaiden winked at his grandfather, leaning toward Dylan. "Daddy, I don't want mommy to be away so long."

Savannah held her breath and looked carefully at Dylan, hoping he would show some reluctance on her leaving.
