Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

Savannah blushed with shame, and her heart beat like a hummingbird. Looking around, she sighed with relief when she saw nobody in the doorway.

"Why don't you look nervous at all? How many times have you been married? " asked Savannah, her voice muffled.

"Eight times and I'll soon take the ninth," joked Dylan, after thinking a minute or two.

Savannah broke into a snigger, giving a soft hit on his chest jokingly. Then she put her hand in his, walking into the office with him.

When they walked out of the County Clerk office, there was a sheet of paper in each one's hand.

Was she really married? Savannah stood entranced at the door, fixing her eyes at the marriage license.

She was an unmarried girl this morning, and now she has become his wife.

She never thought this day would come for her.

Though Devin was a bustard, Savannah was grateful he had brought Dylan to her. If she had married Devin, maybe she would never have her real happiness, right? With Dylan at her side, she would not be alone in the future.

Her dad didn't have to worry about her anymore.

"Mrs. Sterling," the man's deep voice interrupted her train of thought. She came to her senses and looked up at the second important man in her life, "Mr. Sterling."

"Mr. Sterling?" He rubbed her hair, a little unsatisfied, "tell me, who am I to you?"

Of course, Savannah knew what the man wanted to hear, but she was not used to speaking words of love. She bit her lip, flushing, and finally, she murmured, "You're my husband, my beloved."

Yes, she didn't want to let go of him, even if she was still not sure of his love for her. She would like to face any difficulties ahead of them with him.

She wanted to make him happy, to please him, to replace the girl in his life and in his heart.

Even if it was a little embarrassing, and she had to lower herself, it didn't matter.

Dylan smiled in satisfaction. He liked the way she called her husband, and he enjoyed the way she expressed her love. Her face was flushed with shame, but her eyes were unwavering.

"Now that you've married me, you must be responsible for me," said Savannah sweetly as she hugged him.

Dylan sensed her excitement and joy in her embrace, and he hugged her back, pressing her to his arms.

Savannah heard his heart pounding and closed her eyes with a happy smile.

At the gate of the Sterling's house, Cooper had already been waiting for them.

Dylan unbuttoned Savannah's seatbelt and leaned over, "Ready, Mrs. Sterling?" he whispered in her ear.

Savannah immediately understood what he meant. She was already his wife, and he would tell old Sterling about the marriage. What's more, a wedding ceremony would come soon. She had to face more than before, her heart beating violently again.

She never felt so happy about the marriage. She took it as work she had to do when she was with Devin. But now she was willing to get married because the man was the one she really loved...

"Hm." She smiled at Dylan and nodded.

Dylan quietly pulled the ring from his pocket and slid it upon her finger, then he took her hand and led her out of the car.

Savannah looked at the man in front of her, she felt that she had given the rest of her life to him since she wore the ring.

As soon as they stepped into the living room, old Sterling came forward and looked at Savannah carefully. He was relieved to see that she looked well and rested.

Dylan felt funny at the expression of his father, "come on, dad, you looked as if I had kidnapped Savannah."

Old Sterling stared at Dylan, "why not tell me in advance before you take Savannah away? Do you know how worried I was when Savannah didn't come back that night? I will have a heart attack if I haven't known your whereabouts from Garwood. You two might have gone straight to the ICU to see me next time!"

How could he answer the phone when he had been working so hard on her all that night? Savannah thought and lowered her head in shame.

"If I don't take her out, how can I bring you a daughter-in-law back?" Dylan said with a smile.

Old Sterling and Cooper looked at each other in surprise, and then old Sterling reacted, "what do you mean?"

Dylan held Savannah's right hand up and showed the ring to them.

"Did you propose to Savannah?" Pleasantly surprised, old Sterling stared at the ring and asked in excitement.

Dylan said nothing but put the marriage license between his fingers and showed it to everyone.

They had even applied for the marriage license? Old Sterling's eyes widened in shock.

"Congratulations, sir!" Cooper immediately said.

"We must get ready for a wedding immediately!" Old Sterling clapped his hands together and said in an earnest voice, "time's limited! The wedding dress can still perfectly cover the belly of our beautiful bride now. Cooper, make the arrangement as soon as possible. Get everything prepared in two weeks! The first Sunday in June is a good day for the wedding. We haven't held such a grand ceremony for a long time, and Savannah's only daughter-in-law. Of course, it must be a big wedding!"

In two weeks? Savannah gasped. Even if she had never prepared a wedding, she knew that the process was very complicated. It might take half a year to wait for an available wedding venue, and it would also take a lot of time to design the decoration of the wedding party, the food. What's more, you shall send wedding invitations to your guests at least three months in advance, otherwise, they might not be free at that time…

However, it seemed that the Sterling family had no such worries.

It was amazing that old Sterling decided to hold the wedding in two weeks. On the one hand, it showed that the Sterling family was rich and powerful; on the other hand, it was because of the eagerness of old Sterling.

The next two weeks would be a busy time for all people of the Sterling family.
