Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Chapter 381 - 381: You Saved My Son

Savannah picked up Kaiden again, walking over to the man. "Hello, are you Kaiden's father?"

Dylan narrowed his eyes. What did she mean?

Why was this little woman treating him as a stranger?

Well, she had decided to break off their ties. Maybe she just deliberately pretended not to know him in order to avoid embarrassment. She didn't want to have any entanglement with him now. Being strangers was her last wish.

She didn't know who Kaiden was just now, otherwise, it would be impossible for her to wait for him with Kaiden.

The little woman had been a model before, and she was always good at acting. No wonder she can act normally as if they are strangers to each other.

Dylan's handsome face clouded at this thought.

Kaiden also sensed something was wrong. He looked at Savannah and then at his dad. Why does it seem that mommy doesn't know daddy?

"Are you Kaiden's Father?" Savannah asked again, frowning. Is such a good-looking man deaf?

"You saved my son?" Dylan regained his composedness, looking at Savannah with cold eyes.

Since she pretended not to know him, well, he knew how to act too. He wanted to see how far this woman could go.

"Well. Kaiden is fine. He may have been frightened. Be more careful next time!" Savannah said as she put Kaiden into the man's arms; her tone held reproach.

Oh, how dare this little woman blame him for not taking care of Kaiden? Didn't she remember she had left their kid as soon as she gave birth to him?

Dylan's expressionless face became colder.

Savannah didn't notice his hard face. She slung her bag over her shoulder and waved to Kaiden, "I'll go first. Don't run in the street again."

Kaiden was reluctant to see Savannah leave. He pushed Dylan's chest and leaned towards her, "Sis Savannah, kiss me before you go."

Dylan's face darkened slightly. He hadn't had a chance to touch her for three years! But his son dared to ask the little woman.

Kaiden, however, did not feel ashamed at all. He put his little round face quite close to Savannah, begging for kisses and caresses.

Savannah smiled helplessly at Kaiden's expectant eyes. She glanced at Dylan before she leaned in awkwardly and kissed Kaiden on the cheek.

The moment the little woman leaned over, Dylan smelled the faint fragrance from her. As she kissed Kaiden's cheek, a tuft of her hair touched his forearm.

He took a deep breath, sorely tempted.

Savannah straightened up again, looking up into the blazed eyes of the man. She flushed and took two steps back as if she was afraid of being eaten by him.

"I go first," Savannah murmured, turned, and hurriedly stopped a taxi.

Dylan stood at the roadside with Kaiden in his arms, watching the taxi run out of sight.

Kaiden was still touching his small face that Savannah had kissed, triumph in his eyes.

Dylan lowered his head, narrowing his eyes, "who gave you permission to see her alone?"

Needless to say, this guy already knew who Savannah was.

He seemed to have learned that Savannah would come here for an interview, so he deliberately came here to meet Savannah.

Kaiden summoned up his courage and said, "if you can see her, why can't I? Besides, if it hadn't been for my help, you two wouldn't have seen each other."

Spoiled by his grandpa, Kaiden even dared to talk back.

Then Dylan heard Kaiden ask curiously, "why doesn't mommy know you?"

Dylan got gloomy when Kaiden mentioned this. His tone was matter-of-fact, "she is such a woman."

Kaiden blinked and understood. Mommy must have quarreled with daddy before she left them. She must be very angry, so she pretended not to know daddy, right?

Just then, Louis ran over to them.

"Mr. Sterling, are you all right?"

Dylan was not in the mood to blame him. He handed Kaiden to him and said, "take Kaiden home."

Kaiden knew he'd better keep silent now. He leaned his head on Louis's shoulder and was taken into the car. Inside the car, Kaiden asked Louis again, "Mommy love me, didn't she?" sadness added to his tiny voice. Louis was stunned, couldn't find the right words to say, then nodded.

Savannah called Kevin as soon as she got back to her apartment. She wanted to invite Kevin and Dan to have dinner together and told them about the good news about her new job.

"Savannah?" Kevin answered the phone quickly.

"Hi, Kevin. Are you and Dan free tonight? Come and have dinner together." Then she could ask for suggestions from Kevin before she decided if she should go to work at Zagreb Film tomorrow.

"Sorry, Savannah, I can't come today. I just want to call you. A major client of JK in England has a problem with our game program. I must go to solve it in person." Kevin said in a low voice.

"Oh, it's fine. Kevin, your business's more important. Don't worry about me," said Savannah quickly.

Kevin was still worried. It was a thorny problem. Remote assistance could not help, and the client asked him to fly there as soon as possible. He hesitated and said, "Savannah, I want to hire an hourly worker to come to your apartment every day and take care of you…"

"No," Savannah laughed. "Kevin, I'm twenty-three, not three. I can take care of myself."

Kevin was on the way to the airport, so he didn't say more. After a few more words with Savannah, he hung up.

Savannah didn't have a chance to talk about the interview. She sighed as she put down her phone. It would be fine to tell Kevin when he came back.

In the CEO's office of the Sterling group, a tall man was standing at the French window with his hands on his back, gazing at the busy street. The man's rugged features were alluring. His raven black hair, which glistened in the moonlight illuminating from the window, was combed back and his face carefully structured. The cold gray eyes of the man were full of indifference. No one knew what he was thinking.

"Mr. Sterling." There was a knock on the door, and Garwood came in.
