Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

"And you? You want to live abroad with her, too?" Robert hoped his son would come back soon after he sent Savannah abroad.

But it was unlikely that Kevin would leave Savannah alone. "I'll go abroad with her. I've missed her once, and I won't miss her again. I can't let her suffer again," What he regretted most in his life was that he quit quietly when Dylan appeared. He thought that man would love Savannah more than the love he could have given her.

This time, he would not miss the opportunity again.

"But you... Are you really going to leave with her? What about your company? You give up, JK? What a pity!" asked Robert hastily. He didn't care where Savannah went, but he couldn't see his son go so far from him.

Kevin looked at the crow's feet around Rover's eyes, and he also found some streaks of white in his hair. The man still looked strong, but he was no longer young. Now he was just a father who was not willing to separate from his son.

"I'll leave JK to Dan, who set up the company with me. He's experienced. Under his management, I believe JK will have a healthy development. Besides, it will be good for you if I leave. There's a new election soon, and your wife will no longer quarrel with you. Rest assured, my mother and I have never interfered in your life, and I don't want to fail your re-election this time."

He could never forgive Robert. However, it was Robert who gave him life, so he didn't want to harm him.

Robert was stunned. He didn't expect that Kevin had known about Madison's visit to Balfour Sanatorium. Suddenly he felt very guilty and abashed.

It was true. Kevin and his poor mother had never complicated his life. But because of him, Kevin's mother had a very short journey of life, as a flower withered too soon.

He caused the tragedy of the mother and the son.

He could never make up for them, and he might not be able to persuade his son back.

Let it be. Why not let his son do what he really wanted to do?

For a moment, Robert seemed to be several decades older, and his pride and dignity as governor suddenly disappeared. Finally, he picked up his courage and said, "okay. I'll help you. And I'll do everything I can to keep you and Miss Schultz from being found."

Savannah strained her eyes in the darkness. She was naked on a large bed, and she could feel a man's weight on her. She couldn't see his face. His lips ran down her neck and throat, kissing, sucking… trailing down to her breasts…She struggled hard but couldn't move at all. The man paused, rose and leaned down; his breath hot in her ear.

"You'll never get out of my hands."

"Ah!" Abruptly, Savannah woke up, gasping for breath, covered in sweat.

She was still in the ward. Beyond the long windows, moonlight sifted through the branches of the tall tree.

Looking at the clock, she saw that it was only three o'clock in the morning.

It was just a nightmare.

But why the dream felt so real... as if she knew the man in her dream. She flushed crimson, and her heart was beating violently. She could still remember the touch and kiss from the man in her dream.

At that moment, the door of the ward opened with a bang. Kevin, probably heard her scream in the next room, strode in and lit the lamp, a worried look on her face. "Savannah, what's the matter?"

"A nightmare." Savannah wiped the sweat off her head.

Kevin colored slightly. He poured a glass of warm water and gave it to her. "You always had bad dreams when in the orphanage. What did you dream about?"

Savannah opened her mouth but held back. How could she tell Kevin that she dreamed about a strange man doing that to her?

"Nothing. Just a man..." She mumbled.

"A man? Who's he?" Kevin asked his voice tense.

"I don't know. It's too dim to see." She didn't dare to say more.

"Oh. No impression at all? Do you know him?" Kevin asked tentatively.

"No impression. I don't think I know him." Savannah shook her head in certainty.

"Your memory hasn't completely come back, and it's a bit of a mess. All right." Kevin paused and comforted her.

Savannah nodded and gradually calmed down.

Kevin took the empty glass from her hand and put it back, but he didn't leave.

"Is there anything else?" Savannah sensed that he had something to say.

"Savannah, would you like to go abroad with me?" Kevin asked quietly.

Go abroad? Savannah wondered, "why do you say that?"

"It's better for you to recuperate abroad. A new environment can give you a new mood. Maybe you can regain your memory earlier." Then Kevin added, "of course, if you don't want to, forget it."

Savannah was silent for several seconds. Finally, she glanced up at Kevin. "I'll go wherever you go."

Kevin's face lit up, and his lips broke into a smile. "You said, yes?"

She nodded gravely. Her uncle and aunt had never contacted her since she ran away from their house, and she had no other relatives in LA. She had no reason to stay here.

"Good. I'll go and arrange it at once." Kevin smiled.

"So soon?"

A curious feeling of disappointment came over her heart. She didn't know why. Although she was willing to go abroad with Kevin, she had a strange feeling as if she still had something or some people to care about here.

What was she missing?

"Maybe in two days. Everything's been arranged, and we can go straight there." Kevin said. They must leave before Dylan found here.

Savannah had known where they were from the nurses. She also heard that Kevin took her here under the help of the governor, Mr. Smith. She could not help asking timidly, "Kevin, did Mr. Smith help everything?"

"Yes." Kevin nodded.
