Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

He knew about her going out with Andrew.

"I went to dinner with a friend from Chicago," she said after a short pause.

"A friend from Chicago? Or your blind date?" His eyes darkened.

"If you've known so much, why bother to ask me? What's it now, Mr. Sterling? Are you here to question me?" Savannah looked up at him.

He held her chin, tipping back her head, and said in a low voice, "Well. Am I not qualified to question you? Remember, you're my woman, who bore me a child! Did you forget your identity, you're mine! You got the nerve to date other man behind my back?"

"I know. You want to warn me to watch my manners and keep my distance from other men so as not to influence your family's good name, right?" Savannah stared at him, eager to hear that he came not for the sake of the family's honor or something like that, but because he was jealous and he didn't want her to get too close to other men.

Wasn't that why she agreed to go out to dinner with Andrew tonight? She just wanted to goad him into telling her his true feelings.

However, he didn't say what she wanted to hear but remained silent for a long time.

Savannah looked straight at him.

"Yes, I've had a child with you, but I'm not your wife, even not your girlfriend. I had no real relationship with you," her pent-up anger was released in a torrent of words. "I don't need to report to you even if I date or sleep with other men…"

As the words fell from her lips, Dylan cupped her chin suddenly, leaning down, and kissed her fervently.

No man could stand that.

This time he kissed her harder, his tongue invading her mouth, and it was more like punishment.

She struggled to release herself from his grasp, but he held her tighter.

Frowning at his rudeness, she sank her teeth into his tongue, and immediately she tasted blood.

She took two steps back and shouted, "Asshole!"

Then she ran back to the dormitory as fast as she could.

Dylan gasped, watching her back disappear, standing there for a long time before he realized the pain in his lip.

He wiped the corner of his mouth with a sigh.

Damn it. He seemed to have really offended her.

But shouldn't he be angry?

He came for the purpose of teaching her a lesson.

He couldn't understand why the little woman was angrier than he was.

The next day, Savannah finished her final thesis defense absent-mindedly and walked out of the classroom.

She was still distracted by her meeting with Dylan last night.

Damn that man!

She bit her lip and prayed she had successfully defended her thesis.

***

At the same time, Elisa stood outside the classroom building, waiting for Savannah to come out.

She had finished all her exams and defense ahead of Savannah. It was almost noon, so she came to wait for Savannah to have lunch together.

Just then, she heard amazing voices from some girls passing by.

"Wow, is that man a student in our school? Which department is he in? He's so hot!"

"He can't be in our school. I've never seen such an attractive American man in our school before!"

"My God, he's getting closer. He looks perfect, and he's in great shape. He must have regular exercises!"

"Hey, he seems to be walking in our direction..."

Elisa's heart gave a great thud against her chest. She looked over and saw Andrew walking to her.

He looked more handsome than last night. His cheeks were chiseled like a finely-carved Michelangelo statue. His nose was perfectly symmetrical. The rays of the sun highlighted the dimples in his cheeks and chin.

What the hell was he doing here looking all tousled-hair and outdoorsy in his cream shirt, jeans, and walking boots? He looked like a catwalk model who captured the eyes of all the girls.

Elisa quietly squeezed her thigh to calm down.

"You came for Savannah?" She asked with a dry smile.

Andrew nodded and stopped at her side.

"I'll take her to lunch later."

Her feelings of lightness quickly gave way to dismay. Oh, yeah, as Savannah said yesterday, Andrew asked her to go out today.

"Savannah should be coming out soon. Now that you've made an appointment, I got to go..." She let out a sigh.

Andrew, seeing her trying to run away, whispered, "just a minute."

Elisa paused and looked back.

"What's up?"

"Haven't we met somewhere before?" Andrew's eyes fell on her.

His words touched a raw nerve in Elisa again.

Did he remember her?

Perhaps the light was too dim for him to see her clearly last night!

"You... You know me?" She held her heart in the air.

"Did we meet at a bar in Milan?" Andrew narrowed his eyes.

"I guess you're mistaken." Elisa frowned, and again disappointment swept through her chest.

He still didn't remember her.

"Really? Didn't you go to a bar in Milan on Christmas Eve two years ago?" Andrew didn't seem convinced.

"No. I've never been to a bar," Elisa replied dryly.

Andrew, with a subtle irony and darkness in his eyes, approached her, grabbed her wrist, and asked in a low voice, "Why don't you think about it a little more?"

Elisa stared, wondering why he was so excited.

"I really haven't been to a bar," she repeated, struggling slightly. "I never met you in a bar!"

Their movements attracted the attention and whispers of several students around them.

Realizing his gaffe, Andrew released her hand, stepped back, and regained his composure.

"Maybe I was mistaken," he said calmly.

Elisa opened her mouth and tried to say something, but she swallowed.

She would like to say they had known each other for a long time, but not in a bar. Their first meeting was on a mountain in the US...

He saved her that day. Why didn't he remember?

Was she so insignificant in his life?

But what could she say when he didn't remember her at all?

Besides, he and Savannah were dating now...

"Elisa -" Just then, Savannah came out. She saw Andrew and smiled, "Hi, Andrew, you are here."

Elisa hung her head.

"Well, enjoy your lunch. I'm going back to my dorm." With that, she hurried away.

Savannah walked over to Andrew, looked at him, and sighed.

"Andrew. What on earth are you trying to do? Is that really interesting to have my act with you in front of Elisa?"

Andrew was silent.

"Did you say something that upset her? I can see that she's in a bad mood. No, I should tell her now, that I have nothing to do with you, that you remember her, that you always remember meeting her in the mountain, and that this time you came to me just to test her mind!" Savannah said and turned, anxious to catch Elisa.
