Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

His lips glided down her throat, kissing, sucking, and nipping, to the small dip at the base of her neck.

Savannah was paralyzed with a strange, unfamiliar need, entirely captivated by him, but she still murmured unconsciously, "Dylan, Stop... "

Dylan breathed, completely aroused by her. He raised his hand and was about to tug her skirt when she heard a single sound from the door.

Though the sound was faint, Dylan was alarmed, getting to his feet. He strode to the door and opened it all of a sudden.

It was too late for old Sterling and Cooper to escape, and they were caught on the spot.

Old Sterling cast a reproachful look at Cooper. If the old butler had not accidentally knocked on the door, how could his son find out?! Then he stole another look into the room, his eyes falling on the red flush of Savannah\'s face and her disordered skirt. He gloated over the scene.

Savannah jumped up from the carpet and straightened her messy clothes.

"What\'re you doing here?" Dylan\'s emotionless voice broke the awkwardness, and there was a murderous glint in his eyes.

Old Sterling reacted quickly and complained to Cooper, "I said they don\'t need more quilt. How would they feel cold in this weather?"

"My bad for disturbing you," Cooper smiled wryly, "I\'m sorry, Master Sterling."

Dylan watched the two old boys acting, his face darkening.

Did they ensconce themselves behind his door in order to eavesdrop?

Old Sterling, seeing that his son looked green, said quickly, "well, it seems that you don\'t need to add a quilt. Take care of Savannah! Cooper, let\'s go." Then he turned away with the butler in a hurry.

Dylan wondered if old Sterling was only 30 at that fast pace.

A moment later, he closed the door and walked back to his room.

Savannah gasped, slightly helpless, "your father\'s like a child."

That\'s right. Not only a child but a wild child!

Dylan\'s face clouded; he picked up the blanket and pillow and threw them onto the bed.

"I want to sleep on the ground!" Savannah got nervous again.

He then put his pillow and woolen blanket on the carpet. "I sleep here. You, on the bed."

Savannah was stuck. He... What changed his mind? It was a wonder that he even agreed to sleep in a separate place!

Could you imagine a hungry carnivore suddenly stopped eating meat?

Her brain flashed, and she understood!

It must be because old Sterling came to eavesdrop on them!

Dylan and old Sterling had a bad relationship. Of course, he would be rebellious in what old Sterling wanted him to do.

Old Sterling did everything possible to create conditions for him tonight and came here, especially to eavesdrop.

He must be very resistant and didn\'t want to obey old Sterling\'s wishes.

That\'s why he let her go tonight!

Savannah breathed a sigh of relief and slid into bed, covering herself with the blanket.

When Savannah got up the next morning, Dylan was gone.

That same day, Susan learned the news Dylan brought last night.

As what old Sterling worried about, Susan, who was still in confinement, broke down when she knew that Henley insisted on divorcing her and had even signed the divorce agreement.

She cried herself to death, neither eating nor drinking.

When Savannah accompanied old Sterling for a walk in the garden, she would occasionally hear Susan crying in the small white building.

This day, Savannah routinely chatted with old Sterling over the tea in the living room.

From the porch came the dissuasion of the servant, "Mrs. Yontz... How did you get out? You\'re not allowed to... No, you can\'t go in…"

"Let me in! What the hell are you? I\'m your master\'s daughter!"

Savannah looked over and saw a disheveled woman stumbling into the villa.

After a few days, Susan had lost her weight, looking sick and bad. Her hair was uncombed, and she had no upper-class ladylike manners.

When Susan saw Savannah, she\'s not as excited or disdainful as she used to be. Instead, her big eyes flashed in desperation, and she completely ignored Savannah.

Susan was totally focused on Henley, who\'s going to divorce her. Her heart and soul were not in Savannah now.

Savannah gazed at Susan\'s gaunt face with deep emotion. Susan had always been arrogant and aggressive as a rich lady and ordered around her husband any time as she liked. But the divorce was still a major blow to her.

What\'s more, Henley would rather choose his first love, Donna, an unrelated baby, than return to her. It was really humiliating for a proud person like Susan.

Perhaps Susan now understood how bad it was when her loyal husband suddenly left.

Savannah sighed. Everything is valuable only two times; before getting it and after losing it.

"Who let her out? Where\'s the one looking after her?" Old Sterling snapped!

Two maids came in and said in a panic, "I\'m sorry, sir, Mrs. Yontz slipped out when we were changing the guard." As they explained, they dragged Susan and asked her to come back.

Susan threw them away and wept to old Sterling, "dad -- tell me it\'s not true! Did Henley actually sign the divorce papers himself? Would he divorce me? Didn\'t you help me?"

Since his daughter had arrived, old Sterling waved his hand and asked the maid to leave. Then he asked Cooper to take out the divorce agreement.

After a glimpse of the divorce papers Cooper gave her, Susan sank down on the ground in desperation.

Henley really wanted to divorce her. It\'s not angry words. The agreement had been sent to her...

Old Sterling looked at her and sighed, "Susan. Sign it. Come on."

"No, I won\'t! I\'m not going to get divorced! I\'m the daughter of the Sterling family. Who dares to abandon me? Who does Henley think he is? Why?!" Susan broke into a frenzy and tore the agreement to pieces!

"What\'s the use of tearing it?" Old Sterling looked grave, "he\'ll send a second copy, and then a third one! Susan, wake up! He has made up his mind. It doesn\'t make sense, no matter how much you try to ask him to stay."
