Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

"How can such a political bigwig help you? What's your relationship with him?" Savannah held her breath.

"Didn't I mention this to you yesterday? After I left the orphanage, I set up a game company and had some influence in the industry. JK, as an emerging enterprise, has been fully assisted by the government. Mr. Smith's always been very supportive of the domestic game industry, so I have been dealing with him, and he would like to do me a favor." Kevin didn't plan to tell Savannah his real relationship with Robert. On the one hand, he had never thought about being the young master of the Smith family; on the other hand, Savannah might feel self-reproach if she knew he turned to the Smith family all because of her.

Savannah always believed Kevin's words. She nodded and did not ask more. Then she seemed to feel confused, looking at him with her dewy eyes, and asked, "why are you so nice to me?"

Kevin sighed. Why? What else could the reason be?

He wanted to express his feelings immediately, but in a moment, he repressed his emotions.

This was not a good time to say that.

She was now at her most vulnerable moment, weak and had amnesia. He felt that he was taking advantage of her if he asked her to be with him now.

He didn't want that. He wanted her sincere promise to be his girlfriend and even his wife.

Kevin, with a rueful smile, reached up and touched her hair. "Actually, I've always regretted that day when I went to your uncle's house to look for you.".

"You went to my uncle's house to see me?" Savannah gazed at Kevin.

"Yes. After you were adopted by your uncle, I went to see you one day. You were not at home, and your aunt told me that you had a fiancé, Devin Yontz, a rich young man." Kevin's thin lips bent into half a smile. "I thought you would live well and be taken good care of, so I didn't bother you anymore."

Savannah never thought that Kevin had come to see her after they parted in the orphanage. Her aunt never said anything about his visit to her... At that time, Kevin was still a poor boy in the orphanage. According to Norah's temperament, she was definitely contemptuous of him.

"When I knew what happened to you these years, I told myself that if I had another chance, I would never leave you alone. I only want to make you happy," Kevin said as he looked intently at her. "For once, let me take care of you and accompany you to a new place and start a new life."

Savannah's heart warmed at his words. Her nose suddenly stung. She didn't hesitate any longer and nodded.

***

Late at night, Green Bay.

On the sofa, Dylan sat quietly but not peacefully.

They almost rooted around the whole town but couldn't find the little woman. The only certainty was that she and Kevin were still in LA because there was no exit record.

Since they were still here, he would search every corner to find her!

He still hoped that the little woman would come back on her own, so he lived in her house in Green Bay these days. It was really getting late, but he was not sleepy. With the cell phone in his hand, he was waiting for Garwood to call and report the progress of the search.

After looking for her for several days, Dylan looked much thinner, with eyes sunk in his sockets. Tired and sleepy, he closed his eyes and sat back, but his body was stiff. He didn't fall asleep.

Sophie went over and said carefully, "Mr. Sterling, why don't you go up and get some sleep? I'll call you when Garwood gets back. If you fall ill, how can you continue looking for Savannah?"

Maybe persuaded by Sophie's last word, Dylan opened his eyes and finally stood up. The moment he rose, he swayed, nearly fell but managed to recover himself. Then he went upstairs to the bedroom.

Sophie looked at his back and sighed.

Upstairs, Dylan passed Savannah's room, paused, and finally pushed the door open and stepped in.

The room was as clean and tidy. Her sweet scent seemed to be left in the air. If she came back, he would let everything go and spare Kevin.

If only she could come back safely.

He walked around the room, and his eyes fell on the half-opened drawer of the desk. He walked over and was about to close it when he saw a familiar satin-covered box.

He pulled the drawer and took out the small box, frowning. Then he opened it and found the diamond ring lie quietly in the box. He turned suddenly to the drawer again. Under the box, there were two pieces of paper.

He took them out. One was apparently their marriage license, and another white paper was a printed divorce agreement.

Her name was signed at the signature!

He had been too busy looking for her these days to enter her room, nor to find those things she had left here.

It appeared that she had been ready to leave him. She left the ring and the marriage license to him, and she even prepared the divorce agreement.

He felt rather foolish. After she disappeared, he looked for her like a madman. But she left a divorce agreement and left with Kevin quietly.

He grasped the paper so savagely that he almost tore it apart.

He didn't know how to describe her behavior. Was it a premeditated action or out of anger?

If she ran away because she was angry that he went to Chicago before the wedding, he would explain it to her.

In his last call with her that day, he heard something was wrong in her tone and was ready to come back and tell her his thoughts.

He went to see Charlotte was to meet his last obligation to her; he stayed and personally took care of Charlotte because he didn't want her suicide to become a scandal, which might negatively impact the two families.

But she did not give him a chance to explain.
