Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

Savannah looked at Dylan. His only competitor in the Sterling family had been exiled, and no one could contend with him now. It's not necessary for him to use the baby in her to win his father's favor...

Would he agree if she told him she didn't want to have the child now?

She nerved herself and moved her red lips, "Dylan..." Then she paused, too timid to speak.

"What's up?" He asked softly.

"I... If..." She still hesitated. What if the man got angry again?

He valued the baby much. She had not mentioned the request of aborting the child these days. Would he be annoyed if she brought it up again?

Would her relationship with him, which was temporarily calm and peaceful, worsen again?!

Dylan frowned. The little woman seemed to be troubled by something; though he had a feeling that the words she wanted to say would not please him, he still encouraged her, "say what you want."

She took a breath and was about to speak when all of a sudden, she felt the baby kicking in the belly. Savannah froze.

"What's wrong?" Dylan asked nervously when he saw her expression.

"Baby just kicked me..." She looked at him, her cheeks flushed with excitement.

It was the first time she felt the movement of the fetus, and she completely forgot what she wanted to say.

Dylan was puzzled for a moment, and then his handsome face lit with excitement. He put his hand on her belly and rubbed it softly and carefully; for an instant, he was overwhelmed by surprise and joy that he didn't know what to do.

"Here." She felt a little funny when she saw his clumsiness, caught his hands, and led him to where the baby kicked.

He breathed, feeling the movement of the new life.

Savannah, seeing his eyes excitingly stare at her belly, lowered her head, and sighed. She could not bring herself to say what was in her heart.

She never thought that the fetus could be felt to move at such a moment.

Baby, you really put your mother into a dilemma.

After that day, Dylan pampered Savannah even more as if she were cut glass. He sent more maids to Beverly Hills and hired two more full-time senior nurses who were good at taking care of pregnant women.

He knew that Savannah did not like being closely served by others, so this time, he did not arrange a second Sarah for her. Judy was still in charge of her daily life, and the nurses were there to help.

As the Vice-President of the group, Devin still had a lot of work at hand. Now he was going to go abroad, and he needed to hand it over to the deputy. In order to make sure Devin would not make more trouble before he left, Dylan spent most of his time in the company these days and did not come to Beverly Hills.

Early in the morning, Savannah woke up and got a call.

Matt's name on the screen quickened her heartbeat. Was there a sudden change in Olivia's condition? Savannah answered the phone with apprehension, "Matt?"

"Olivia woke up!" Matt's excited voice was heard immediately.

Savannah couldn't believe her ear until Matt repeated it. She hung up the phone happily and told Judy that she was going to the hospital to see Olivia.

Judy saw her looking so cheerful, knowing that she could not stop her. She looked at her belly and decided to call Dylan anyway.

Dylan was not surprised when he heard that Savannah asked to go to the hospital. He thought for a while and finally agreed, "you go with her. I'll come back later."

After hanging up the phone, Judy called the driver and went to the hospital together with Savannah.

When Savannah entered the ward, she saw Olivia sitting in bed, scrawny and weak with pillows behind her. Matt was peeling an apple in a chair by the bed, chatting with her.

"Olivia, you are finally awake!" Savannah walked towards her in high spirits.

She was really afraid that she would be happy for nothing again this time. God bless her!

Olivia looked at Savannah with a weak smile.

According to Matt, Olivia woke up early this morning. The doctor said that Olivia survived and recovered full consciousness due to her youth and good physical condition. However, she was still weak and gathered no real strength, and she would be able to leave the hospital after a period of observation.

After Savannah sat on another chair beside the bed, Olivia began to tell her what happened in Hot Bird that night. As expected, Olivia was pushed downstairs by Valerie because she found out that the baby in Valerie was not Devin's.

Savannah held Olivia's hand and was silent for a long time. She felt that she herself was the one to blame for all that Olivia had suffered. Well, luckily, Valerie had been arrested, and Olivia woke up, or she would never forgive herself.

Valerie, who attempted murders, would never escape punishment by law.

Olivia stared at Savannah with a grateful glint in her eyes. "Savannah, I know you've been moving about for me, and Valerie was caught so soon because of you and Mr. Sterling. What's more, you've paid all my medical expenses, which Matt and I can't afford at all... Thanks to Mr. Sterling, I can stay in such a good hospital and get such good treatment. After I am discharged from the hospital, I'll pay him back slowly, so as not to embarrass you."

She knew that Savannah was unwilling to accept Mr. Sterling's financial aid; otherwise, she didn't have to work as a small model after living with him. According to Mr. Sterling's power, he could recommend her whatever job she wanted. Obviously, Savannah chose to earn her own living instead of relying on a man.

Mr. Sterling helped a lot after she was injured, and she was really sorry that Savannah had to owe Dylan a big favor because of her.

"No! Don't be silly. We are best friends, aren't we? If it had not been for me, you would not have asked Valerie out and would not have been injured by her." Savannah said hurriedly.

"But'¦ it's a great expense... I'll transfer some money to your account later, and you can give it to Dylan for me?" Olivia didn't want to take advantage of Mr. Sterling.

"No, really, I'¦ I've paid him back." Savannah knew Olivia's character, so she had to say this.

Olivia started, "do you have enough money? No, I should give you the money first..."

Savannah put her hands on her belly quietly. With this baby, everything could be paid for.

She forced a smile and tapped Olivia on her shoulder, joking, "don't worry. I'm not short of money. If you insist, give me double when you are rich!"
