Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

I would like to say proudly that I saved Dylan myself, but I dared not. Mom and grandma love me so much. They would blame my nanny for not taking care of me when I just caught a cold. Dad is always stern and rules me rigidly. If he knows that I sneaked into Sterling\'s house and almost hurt myself in the fire, he will scold me and never let me go out again! And grandma, she would probably be scared! What\'s more, Dylan will laugh at me if he knew that I sneaked into his house like a thief to see him…

March 28 Cloudy

I was looking for an opportunity to tell Dylan about the night when the servant said that he had gone back to LA.

The news made my mood cloudy as today\'s weather.

I know that Dylan\'s father would not let him stay alone at the house after such a terrible fire, but why did I felt a sort of incredible pain?

I don\'t know when I can see Dylan again.

Dylan, when will you come to Chicago again? I will be waiting for you.

Dylan continued to flip through the diary. He left Chicago and didn\'t see Charlotte after that.

However, Charlotte had never forgotten him. In her diary, besides some daily trifles, she missed him all the time.

February 14th Sunny

Dylan, today is Valentine\'s Day. Who is at your side now?

When can I see you again?"

Then Dylan picked up the newest book. It should be the latest dairy.

October 5th Cloudy

After all these years, I finally met Dylan again.

Brother Lionel came to LA to develop the business of the Rowe group, so I came with him after I graduated from college.

God knows I just want to be nearer to Dylan.

Finally, my chance came. Lionel invited Dylan to the housewarming party.

I was ecstatic when I saw Dylan in Royal Villa. There was even a moment when I wanted to hug him and tell him the secret in my deep heart, but...

But I noticed that there was a girl beside him. The girl is even pregnant with Dylan\'s baby.

I know, we\'re not kids anymore. It\'s normal for him to have women around. I\'m not in any position to ask him to remain single... But why was my mind not silent, and my heart was made bitter?

Dylan\'s eyes kept falling on that girl all night, even when he danced with me.

I could feel how much Dylan cared about her.

Later, the girl seemed to feel ill, and Lionel took her upstairs to rest. But Dylan\'s face changed at that scene, and he left me to go upstairs without hesitation.

At that moment, I was left in the middle of the dance floor, and I felt very sad. It was not because I lost face, but I realized that there is already another girl in Dylan\'s heart.

In fact, I wanted to ask him, if I had been brave enough to let him know that I saved him in that fire, would our relationship be different now?

Will he be nicer to me?

Will I have a chance?

October 20th Cloudy

My brother told me that Dylan and Miss Schultz were getting married. The news was like a bolt from the blue sky.

I cried for a long time, but I didn\'t dare to tell anyone.

I know. He is really not mine anymore. He never belongs to me.

It was so distasteful. Maybe I could be with him if I have told him about my feelings?

I wanted to call him several times and tell him that I saved his life that year... But I dared not, I am afraid that he will suspect my motive, that he will think I am lying. Why didn\'t I tell him the fact that year?

I am afraid of being questioned and despised by him...

What\'s more, Dylan and Miss Schultz are going to get married. I don\'t want to ruin his wedding by being the other woman.

In the evening, I took out the fairy tale book and read the little mermaid\'s fairytale again. This is my favorite fairy tale, but I feel very sad when I read it now.

I feel I am that little mermaid. I obviously saved the prince and have a chance to be with the prince. But the prince put his feelings on the wrong girl and missed the little mermaid.

The mermaid finally ended up like foam on the sea, accompanying the prince.

What can I do to let Dylan at least have me in his mind and never forget me?

***

Dylan flipped through the diary, his expression unreadable. Then he turned to the latest dairy, which was written on the day Charlotte flew back to Chicago.

***

I am now on the plane back to Chicago. Looking at the clouds outside the plane window, I finally recovered from my weeping and calmed down.

Dylan\'s wedding will be held the day after tomorrow.

I don\'t want to stay in LA to watch the ceremony.

I don\'t blame anyone but myself for not telling him about my heart in time. I have loved him since childhood. It was I who saved him from the fire.

All in all, it is my fault.

I will not disturb his wedding, and I just want to quietly return to Chicago, to the place where I saved him.

It is the only way to let him never forget me...

In this way, I will not suffer anymore.

Dad, mom, brother, I\'m sorry.

I really can\'t stand losing Dylan. I will be your good daughter next life.

***

That was the end of the diary.

Dylan closed the diary without a word.

Erik had apparently checked Charlotte\'s diary. "I never thought Miss Rowe would be so affectionate to you, Mr. Sterling," Erik sighed, "Now you finally found the girl you want. How do you plan to arrange her?"

Dylan turned his head to look at Charlotte through the small window of the ward. However, Savannah\'s restrained and nervous voice rang in his ear.
