Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Chapter 509 - 509: What’re You Looking At?

When the simple and delicious pasta was ready, Savannah scooped it out to a plate and then carried it to the dining room.

Dylan was already there, sitting at the table in his gray robe, staring out of the window.

The robe was brought by Garwood after Dylan's first night here. In addition to that, Garwood also brought some daily necessities for men, such as shaving water, razors, and underwear.

She rolled her eyes when she saw Garwood take so many things here that day and knew he would come often.

But now she had to admit that she couldn't move her eyes away from the man bathing in the morning sunshine over there.

He was really an attractive man. The light coming from the windows made it shine to a shade of melting milk chocolate, and his slightly tanned skin glowed. The man's high cheekbones perfectly accentuated his face, and his full pink lips were pressed firmly together in a cool expression. She recalled his burning smokey gaze last night…

No wonder she would marry him, her ex-fiancé's uncle, three years ago. She must have been fascinated by his superior countenance.

"What're you looking at?" He smiled at her, pulling her mind back.

Savannah pinked, carrying the place of pasta over. She smelled the fresh smell from the man as she approached him. Taking a deep breath, she tried to calm the turbulence in her heart.

"Here's your breakfast, get stuck in!"

Dylan seemed to be pleased by her, and his smile deepened. He took her arm, pulling her onto his lap gently.

"Feed me," he demanded, like a bossy boy.

She didn't resist but obediently sat on his lap, a little amused. "Kaiden will laugh at you."

"I'm holding you, so my hands are unavailable now."

She sighed, picked up a few strands of pasta, drew them to her lips to blow a couple of times, and began to feed him.

Her heart was full of tenderness. It was a taste of happiness.

He gave her a sense of belonging, and she felt quite satisfied at this moment.

She almost forgot that her purpose of returning to him was only to use his power to revenge.

Maybe, she could forget about revenge?

She didn't want to cheat him again, and she dared not imagine how disappointed and angry he would be when he found the truth one day.

Why not give up revenge, and live peacefully with him and Kaiden?

Compared with the pain and hardship of revenge, his doting embrace obviously attracted her.

Wait a minute… Live with him?

What was she thinking? If she gave up the thought of revenge, she would have no reason to stay at his side. Shouldn't she leave him and return to Italy to Kevin?

Without knowing when and why her heart had negligibly changed...

She couldn't deceive herself. Subconsciously, she wanted to be with him for a lifetime, not just for a short time because of revenge.

She wanted to raise Kaiden with him, and she'd like to give him more children if he liked...

Although she didn't remember him, her dormant love for him seemed to be awakened.

"Penny for your thoughts." Dylan noticed her absence when her movement in hand slowed down.

She started, thrust a full fork of pasta into his mouth. "Nothing, nothing."

"…" He almost choked out.

After a little laugh, Savannah hurriedly pulled a piece of tissue to wipe his mouth.

"Savannah…" exclaimed Garcia in a surprised voice as she stopped at the door of the dining room. She was going to prepare breakfast for them but didn't expect to see them get up earlier and have breakfast together in such an intimate way.

Garcia covered her mouth and tried not to laugh. "Pardon me for interrupting you. Enjoy your food." With that, she went back to her room.

Savannah blushed terribly. For fear that a servant would run into them again, she fed him more rapidly.

"Come on, baby. You don't want to choke your man again, do you?" Dylan mumbled helplessly.

She grinned awkwardly.

It was the first time she cooked for him after three years, so he ate up all the food in the place.

Savannah stood up when he finished but pulled back by his big hand.

He picked the ring-pull of a can on the table and slipped it onto her finger, smiling. "Do you have time tomorrow? I want to reorder a ring for you."

He... wanted to remarry her?

It was only a matter of time...

But just as the ring-pull slipped into her ring finger, she retracted her hand unconsciously.

"What's the matter?" His face fell.

"We'll talk about this later... okay? I... I don't think I'm ready." She tried to soften her refusal so as not to offend him.

"Not ready?" He glanced at her.

"Hmm. I haven't fully remember what happened between us before, so I'm not quite ready psychologically. I'm sorry..." She bit her lip.

The hard expression on his face relaxed a little. He thought it was because she was still thinking about Kevin. If she just minded her memory loss, he could give her enough time.

"Okay. I'm too impatient," he threw the ring-pull onto the table.

Savannah sighed with relief.

He pinched her cheek, whispering, "I have to go to the company now. Wait for me at home."

She nodded and watched him go upstairs to change his clothes.

When he went downstairs again, he was in his bespoke gray suit, sharp and intelligent.

Savannah sent him out of the house, watching him leave at the door. Her heart was overwhelmed with tenderness.

When his car was out of sight, she turned to enter the house, but her eyes were caught by the ivy on a yellow wall in the courtyard.

The ivy clung to the wall and grew around the porch.

Her father planted the ivy when he was still alive. This kind of plant had exuberant vitality. They could easily survive with sunshine and rain.

Now the ivy had occupied the whole wall.

It reminded her of her father again.

Her gentle and good-tempered dad watered the plants with a flower shower, looking back at his beloved daughter and wife and talking with them with a smile.

Dad...
