Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

"What do you mean? Is it my fault Charlotte lost face tonight? Should I not have been in a hurry to announce their relationship in front of the guests?" Granny Rowe looked awful.

"Forget it. Charlotte will be more upset if she hears us." Joanne said quickly. She doesn't want to offend her mother-in-law, but she can't afford to witness how her own daughter was treated unfairly.

Frowning, Granny Rowe grunted and went back to her room. She is planning to help her granddaughter to be Dylan's wife. After all, having Dylan's married to Charlotte will bring good fortune into her family and would widen their influence across the globe. She doesn't care what Joanne will think about her action pairing Dylan and Charlotte.

The next morning, Charlotte looked much better when she was eating breakfast with her family.

"How did you sleep, dear," Joanne asked anxiously.

"I'm fine," Charlotte replied and slowly finished a chicken sandwich.

Joanne sighed with relief. She poured a cup of milk and handed it to Charlotte.

"Joanne, ask Savannah to come for dinner tonight," Granny Rowe suddenly said.

Joanne and Ethan were stunned, as was Lionel. After a long pause, Joanne said in surprise, "Ask Savannah to come for dinner? Why?"

Granny Rowe sniffed, "anyway, she's your daughter, so she's part of the Rowe family. I haven't met her officially since I came to LA. I'm not that narrow-minded as you might think."

Joanne wasn't sure what her mother-in-law wanted to do. She was afraid that she might hurt Savannah, but she could not refuse. At that moment, Ethan patted his wife's hand and whispered, "mom's right. You've even prepared a room for Savannah, why not ask her to come often?"

Joanne had to nod, "well, I'll call her."

Early this morning, Garwood came to Savannah's apartment to pick her up. She was going to move to Green Lake today.

Garwood helped to carry her luggage into the trunk and opened the front driver's seat for her.

When they arrived at her house in Green Lake, Garcia was already waiting for her at the door. She was too lonely living here alone, and she was so happy to learn Savannah would move back.

When Savannah and Garcia were talking, several men and women in suits came over and bowed to Savannah respectfully, "Good morning, Miss Schultz."

Savannah turned and looked at them in surprise.

"You are --"

"They are the servants that Mr. Sterling arranged for you," Garcia said with a smile, "this is the driver, Davis. And these two Michelin chefs, who will be responsible for your meals. And Tina will be responsible for your daily life..."

"Wait a minute…" Savannah was surprised and amused, "I don't need so many people! I can do my own stuff, please tell Dylan not to bother putting a lot of people here,"

"Miss Schultz, this is what Mr. Sterling wants." Garwood laughed at the door.

"But I don't need so many people! That's a gross exaggeration. Does he want to hire two more to bathe and dress me, too?" Savannah was speechless.

"Oh, I guess Mr. Sterling would like to bathe and dress you himself," Garwood jokes.

Garcia and the servants laughed. Savannah flushed and had to accept this arrangement. Hearing Garwood's joke, Savannah's face turned red.

"I...I just want some privacy," instead of arguing, she blurted out a nonsense reason. People surrounded her didn't bother to say another word. They left immediately. And Garcia guided her towards the master bedroom.

When she was sorting her clothes in her room upstairs, she received a phone call from her mother.

She was surprised to learn that Granny Rowe invited her to dinner.

After she destroyed her birthday party last night, Granny Rowe must still be very annoyed at her. How could she invite her to their house for dinner? She knew Granny Rowe will not let her off easily.

Well, just go and see what the old lady wanted to do.

In the evening, Davis drive Savannah to Royal Villa.

Joanne, who had been waiting for her daughter at the door, gave her an embrace with a smile. She looked at the Benz behind Savannah and the driver in the car, whispering, "Savannah, the car and the driver…"

"Well, arranged by Dylan."

"Do you live together?" Joanne gasped.

"No. I live in Green Lake now. My uncle sold it when my father died, and then Dylan bought it back and gave it to me."

Joanne stood stunned, lost in the memory of the past. She looked at her daughter with fixed feelings.

Not long ago, Savannah and Dylan seemed to be giving each other the cold shoulder.

Now, they made up?

Ah, she really couldn't figure out young people's minds.

But it seemed that Dylan was really nice to her daughter.

So, she could be relieved.

She took Savannah into the dining room, where the dishes were served, steaming hot.

Granny Rowe looked at Savannah and nodded to her in a polite manner, "Savannah, please come and sit down."

"Lionel's still at work and hasn't returned. Charlotte isn't feeling well, and she's resting in her room. Let's eat first," Ethan said to Savannah kindly.

Although Granny Rowe was polite to her, Savannah could see that there was still a controlled irritation in her look. But why did she invite her over for dinner?

Savannah smiled back and sat down quietly.

After dinner, Joanne was about to take Savannah into her room to talk when Granny Rowe said, "Joanne, I would like to speak to Savannah alone."

"But…" Joanne looked at Savannah and hesitated.

"Mom, go ahead," Savannah said calmly.

"Are you afraid that I'll hurt your precious daughter?" Granny Rowe shook her head half-jokingly.

"Mom and Savannah are getting along fine. Rest assured." Ethan laughed and pulled Joanne away.

When there were only two of them in the living room, Granny Rowe tossed her head haughtily and looked straight into Savannah's eyes. The soft smile had gone from her face.
