Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Chapter 590 - 590: Invited Dylan To The Party

"Hi, great-grandpa, I'm Kaiden. How nice to meet you!" Kaiden greeted Raymond like a grown man.

Amused by the little boy's polite manner, Raymond bent down and picked him up.

"How old are you?"

"I'm four!" Kaiden answered Raymond's questions with his cute tone.

Joanne smiled with relief. Kaiden was a guy that everyone loved when they saw him.

Savannah's willingness to come today indicated that she had begun to accept Raymond and was no longer hostile.

With Kaiden working in, there would surely be an improvement in the relationship between Savannah and Raymond.

Savannah was glad that Kaiden liked Raymond, so she didn't have to be so embarrassed in front of the old man.

"Thank you for sending Stephens to help me the other day," she whispered as Raymond was playing with his great-grandson.

It was worth saying thank you personally to him.

Raymond was surprised that his granddaughter would speak to him in such a gentle voice.

"It was nothing. The pleasure was all mine," he replied with emotion.

After friendly chats with his granddaughter and great-grandson, Raymond put down the sweet boy and said lovingly, "Savannah, you can take Kaiden to the children's playroom over there."

The Morton family was an influential big family in Chicago, and they also had many local connections in LA. Most of the guests brought their children and grandchildren here, and some of them were the same age as Kaiden. Raymond told the hotel to arrange a room full of toys and amusement facilities for those kids to play so that they would not feel bored.

Kaiden beamed with joy when he heard this. He liked to have fun with other kids of his age.

Savannah led Kaiden away from the lounge.

Raymond's eyes remained fixed on the back of Savannah and Kaiden as they left as if he didn't want to separate from them. When the door was closed, Raymond returned and looked at his daughter.

"Kaiden's father is George Sterling's son, Dylan, right?"

Raymond had heard a little about his granddaughter's relationships before he came to LA.

He was told that his granddaughter had been involved in love affairs with the young master of the Sterling family for years and even married him and had a son with him. But they parted and got divorced for some reason.

Not long ago, they made it up and intended to remarry, but suddenly their wedding was called off.

Joanne sighed and nodded.

"How dare he?" said Raymond indignantly. "Did he bully Savannah for her having no family? Anyway, I have to back up Savannah this time! I'll talk to George personally!"

"Savannah told me when Dylan called off the wedding, his father tried to talk with him, but it didn't work," Joanne said helplessly. "I wanted to talk to Dylan, but Savannah stopped me. She's too proud to ask for our help."

Raymond didn't understand what young men and women think. He only wanted his granddaughter to be happy.

"Hope to see them make up tonight." He squinted his eyes.

"You invited Dylan to the party?" Joanne was surprised.

"The Sterling family is one of the most powerful families in LA. How could I not invite them? Besides, even for the sake of Savannah and Kaiden, I have to get this grandson-in-law back." Raymond said with a serious expression.

Joanne suddenly realized why her dad held this party tonight.

Mostly for Savannah and Dylan.

But could they really make up?

***

Savannah led Kaiden to the playroom. There were climbing towers, monkey bars, and Lego bricks. Several boys and girls and their sound of revelry filled the room.

Kaiden ran in happily.

There were two guards in the playroom to keep the children safe. Savannah asked Kaiden to call her when he wanted to leave and went out first.

Savannah wandered into the banquet hall. When passing a waiter with a tray of wines, she raised her hand to get a glass of champagne, but another big hand came to the glass at the same time and touched her accidentally.

The familiar heart-stopping feeling took away her breath.

Looking up, she saw Dylan standing on the other side of the waiter, ready to take the glass.

He was wearing a sharp black suit, tall and attractive. His facial features, perfectly carved, stood out against the colorful spotlights.

She didn't remember how long they had not seen each other.

It seemed so long ago.

She had not expected him to be invited to grandpa's party.

Though the Sterling family was a powerful and famous family in LA, the Sterling group didn't have much cooperation with the Morton group. Was it because grandpa knew about her relationship with him and wanted to help her get back together with him?

"Miss Schultz, you first." He said gently as Savannah's mind was still blank. So gentle and polite, yet so full of distance, as if he and she were only acquaintances.

The waiter immediately turned the tray and handed Savannah a glass of champagne.

Savannah watched as Dylan turned to leave, her hand shaking on the glass, her heart tingling.

She thought he would treat her better after not seeing her for so long.

"Wait a minute," she bit her lip.

Dylan stopped and looked back at her, but it was all politeness.

"Kaiden is here too. He's in the playroom. Won't you go and see him?" Savannah held back her tears.

In fact, what she wanted to say was, you really didn't want me and decided to break up with me?

But she couldn't.

She could only take Kaiden as a pretext to talk with him.

She just wanted to have more look at him.

"No. I'm sure you'll take better care of him than me. I'll ask Garwood to take him out when I want to see him." He looked nonchalant, and with that, he turned to leave without hesitation.

His impassive manner pained her. She let go of her hand, the glass broke on the floor. Clenching her teeth, she quickly caught up with him and gripped him by the arm.
