Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

Last night, she had a dream.

She dreamed that Dylan came and stood by her bed for a long time, staring at her.

She wanted to ask Kevin if Dylan had come to see her, but she finally let it go.

Everything about that man was a past story. What more was there to say?

In short, she should never see him again.

She would quit that job when she got well.

It was almost time for lunch. After talking for a whole morning, she looked a little tired.

Kevin got up and said, "you're still very weak. Have a rest on the bed, and I'll bring you your lunch."

Savannah looked at him and asked carefully, "Kevin, why are you so sallow?"

She noticed that Kevin's left cheek and the corner of his mouth was swollen up as if he had had a fight with someone.

Kevin touched his face but didn't reply for a moment. He never lied to Savannah, and he didn't know how to lie to her. He could only lower his head to avoid her eyes.

"Nothing. I was…bitten by a nasty bug. I'll buy your lunch first." Then he hurriedly left.

Bitten by a bug? Did he mean… Dylan?

Kevin said he met that man in the early morning. They had a fight, didn't they?

Savannah gasped. She knew Kevin's temper very well. He was usually a gentleman and had self-control, he never lost his temper. He must be very angry if he had to pick up a quarrel.

As to that man, she was somewhat familiar with his character after working as his subordinate for a few days. He was always proud and stood somewhat aside; if irritated, he would let his subordinates or bodyguards handle the matter at most, and he could not find the possibility to resort to force personally.

It was almost impossible for such two men to fight.

She sighed helplessly.

At noon, when Kevin finished lunch with Savannah, Dan called and had some business to discuss with him. But Kevin was still worried about her and hesitated to leave.

Savannah knew that Kevin had not rested since he flew back from England yesterday. She insisted that she was much better and asked him to go back to conduct his business first.

"Have a good sleep before coming again." She added.

Kevin didn't know how to refuse her, so he had to leave first.

When Savannah was having a rest on the bed, the door was knocked softly and then pushed open.

She opened her eyes and saw an adorkable boy rolling to her bed.

It was Kaiden. He looked at her quietly at the bedside, as if he was afraid of making a noise.

An inexplicable mood caught Savannah.

She never thought that the scar on her belly was left after a Caesarean, and the little boy she met after she returned would be her own son.

Looking at the three-year-old boy in front of her, she found that they had the same big eyes, and they resembled each other, especially when they smiled.

There was no doubt that they were blood relations. The DNA test was quite unnecessary.

She was really his mother...

But she was only twenty-three, still a student! She even hadn't graduated from her college yet.

According to Kevin, she and Dylan had only applied for the marriage license but didn't finish the wedding three years ago.

Indeed, it was not very difficult for that man to get a certified marriage certificate without a ceremony. But why did he do so? Why did he keep pushing her to admit their relationship?

For love? Did he really love her?

If so, how could he have left her for another woman on the eve of their wedding day three years ago?

How could she be so upset that she needed to talk to Kevin?

How could he not find the sign of her threatened miscarriage and make her faint due to massive hemorrhage on the street?

"Mommy? Why don't you speak? Are you still uncomfortable?" Kaiden said as he climbed on the bed, reaching his hand to touch her head.

Started at the word "mommy", Savannah raised her arm to avoid his touch involuntarily.

"Don't call me, mommy!"

Unexpectedly, Kaiden reeled and fell off the bed.

Hastily raising herself on two arms, Savannah jumped out of bed and lifted Kaiden up.

Fortunately, it was a single senior ward, and its floor was covered with soft carpet. Kaiden was a little fleshy and didn't hurt. He looked at Savannah piteously, seeming to beg for a hug.

Relieved, Savannah picked him up and checked, "Are you injured? Any pain?"

"Hug me, mommy, hug me, and I'll be fine," Kaiden mumbled as he rested his head at Savannah's neck.

Savannah breathed a sigh, "Kaiden, can you not call me, mommy?"

"Why, mommy?" Kaiden asked innocently, his eyes widened.

"I… I couldn't remember you…" Savannah didn't know how to explain to a three-year-old boy.

"But I'm still mommy's baby."

Savannah rubbed her head helplessly.

Although she didn't remember Dylan or their past, it was true that the boy was her child.

She couldn't be too cold for him.

Forget it. She sighed again.

"Well, why did you come to the hospital?" Savannah asked.

"Uncle Garwood said, mommy has a fever and is in hospital. I want to see mommy." In Savannah's arms Kaiden played with her hair and said tamely.

This morning, his dad went home and shut himself in the bedroom with a black face. Uncle Garwood told him, under the nose, that mommy didn't recognize him and daddy because she was ill. Now, though mommy knew his existence, she still couldn't remember him.

"Oh, did uncle Garwood bring you here?" Savannah asked in alarm. She still didn't know how to face that man.

"Mhm. Mommy, when will you move back to live with dad and me? How about going back when you get better?" Kaiden asked suddenly.

Savannah gave up the thought of stopping him from calling her mommy. She chose her words carefully in order not to hurt the innocent boy, "Kaiden, I... can't move into your house."

"Why?" Kaiden looked up in a hurry.

"Because... Your father and I are not a family."
