MIDNIGHT Bride The CEO's TEMPTATION

"The bride's nervous." Sophie laughed.

"It's all right," old Sterling raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Dylan will deal with everything, and we're there too. Don't be nervous."

Emma grinned and said playfully, "Miss Schultz, you're not just nervous about the ceremony, you're also thinking about Mr. Sterling, aren't you? Take it easy, and you'll see him the day after tomorrow."

Savannah blushed, "I'm not thinking about him!"

She said no, but the look on her face betrayed everything. Old Sterling could also see that Savannah's heart had gone out to Dylan. He nodded and smiled.

Besides Devin's wedding not long ago, the Sterling family did not plan any festivity for many years. What's more, this was his son's wedding, and of course, old Sterling expected it more. He was no less exciting than the new couple.

Savannah was not a lady from a rich and influential family. Her father died early, and she had lived in an orphanage. But who cared?

The Sterling family was rich and powerful, and his son could run the group well without other family's help. Savannah had good conduct, and she was smart and sensible. In fact, he was quite satisfied with this daughter-in-law.

Just then, Cooper hurried in and walked over to old Sterling. He bent down and said something quietly in his ear.

Savannah noticed that Cooper's face was a bit pale. As he spoke to old Sterling, he glanced at her unconsciously.

Then old Sterling changed color and stood up. He took a breath and tried to look calm, "Savannah, help yourself. I've something to discuss with Cooper, and we'll go upstairs first."

"What's the matter, sir?" Savannah was a little uneasy.

"Nothing," said old Sterling, forcing a laugh, "just a little detail about the preparations for the wedding."

With that, he went upstairs with Cooper.

Looking at their backs, Savannah felt a gloomy foreboding that something was going to go wrong.

Whatever happened, Cooper would not interrupt their dinner-- unless it was really important.

What's more, even if something went wrong with the wedding preparations, they didn't have to discuss it behind her back.

After a few bites, Savannah had no appetite anymore.

Old Sterling still didn't come down.

The air of the dining-room became dull and gloomy. Finally, Savannah was impatient. When a maid filled a bowl with food and was about to send it upstairs, Savannah stopped her, "I'll do it."

The maid gave her the tray obediently.

Savannah, carrying the tray, went to the second floor. She moved silently to the door of the study where the voice of old Sterling floated up...

***

In the study.

"Call Dylan now! Get him back! Does he know that the day after tomorrow is his wedding day? How could he run to Chicago for another woman at this time! Is he mad? What will Savannah think when she hears this? If Savannah gets angry and the baby in her is affected by her mood, I won't forgive him!" Old Sterling bellowed.

Savannah's hands shook, and the tray almost slid out.

Dylan...went to Chicago…for another woman?

Could it be...

The girl who saved him was found?

That's right, nothing else could make him rush to Chicago in spite of everything on the eve of the wedding day...

Her heart tightened painfully.

"I've called, and Mr. Sterling said he would try to get back before the wedding," Cooper's voice came helplessly out, "but then his phone's off…"

"How dare he turn the phone off?" Old Sterling said angrily, "who on earth is that woman? What's her relationship with Dylan? Why did Dylan go to Chicago in such a hurry?"

He never heard that Dylan had an affair outside.

Cooper hesitated and said, "I just called Erik in Chicago. He said that the young master has been looking for a girl since he returned home. Sir, do you still remember that your house in Chicago had caught fire long ago?"

Old Sterling frowned and nodded.

Of course, he remembered the fire. Dylan was sent to his mother's house in Chicago to recuperate. The house caught fire on a summer night, and the old butler in that house went blind in that fire. Fortunately, Dylan was fine and not hurt. After that fire, he dared not leave his son alone in Chicago and got him back to LA hurriedly.

"Do you remember the young master was saved by a young girl when the fire broke out?" Cooper continued.

Old Sterling scowled in thought. Yes, he had learned it from the servants there. Dylan was alone in a pavilion when the fire broke out. A girl helped him out and saved his life. He didn't think much at that time and forgot it later.

"You mean, Dylan's been looking for the girl who saved him and finally found her? So, he went to see that girl today?" Old Sterling came wide awake.

"Yes." Cooper nodded.

Old Sterling took a deep breath.

Dylan went to Chicago as soon as his savior was found. Over the years, he had become estranged from his son, and he never knew that Dylan had always remembered the girl who had saved his life.

That girl must have an important place in Dylan's mind.

After a pause, old Sterling asked, "who's that girl?"

Cooper swallowed, "very coincidentally, the girl who saved the young master is the young lady from the Rowe family, Miss Rowe."

At the door, Savannah's heart stopped beating for a moment.

Charlotte Rowe.

The girl Dylan has been looking for is Miss Rowe?

Well, it might be the truth. The Rowe's house was next to Dylan's mother's house in Chicago. The two families were neighbors and very close to each other.

It was not surprising that Charlotte saved Dylan from the fire.

So, Miss Rowe was the real one Dylan put in his mind, and she was Charlotte's replacement.

Savannah turned pale.

Old Sterling nodded and was not surprised that the girl was Charlotte, but his head ached as he thought of Savannah.

It was really a thorny problem.

How did Dylan find that girl on the eve of the wedding?
