Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

A bitter and sad smile came to Dylan\'s lips.

On the bed, Savannah\'s brows slightly contracted, as if Dylan\'s breathing made her uneasy.

Afraid that she would suddenly wake up and not be happy to see him, Dylan reluctantly turned and left the room.

***

The next morning, Savannah woke up and found Kevin sitting in a chair at the bedside.

"Kevin?" She rubbed her eyes and sat up.

She walked all the way back to her apartment last night, and she thought it was her illusion when she saw Kevin downstairs at her apartment in the early morning.

He was really back. She breathed a sigh of relief.

But then she stirred uneasily. So, what happened on the cruise boat last night was also true.

She felt aggrieved and wanted to complain of the wrongs she had suffered, but at the same time, she was also guilty and nervous. She didn\'t dare to tell Kevin what happened to her these days.

If he knew she had been forced to have sex with another man, he would surely be sad and blame himself for not taking care of her.

As she thought of this, she collected herself and swallowed her grievance.

Seeing that she was awake, Kevin smiled at her reassuringly and touched her head.

"You look better now. I\'ll get your breakfast."

"Kevin, wait a minute, I have something to ask you…" Savannah caught his hand and looked up.

Kevin paused, knowing she had a lot to ask him. He slowly sat down.

"It\'s about Dylan and his son, right?"

Now the situation got out of hand, and she knew the existence of Dylan and the child. It was too late to hide anything from her. He was ready to answer all of her questions.

Savannah gazed at Kevin.

So… Dylan didn\'t lie to her?

Did she really have an unusual relationship with Devin\'s uncle? Did she marry him and even have a baby with him? That sounded ridiculous! How did she get involved in a perplexing relationship with her ex-boyfriend\'s uncle?

Seeing the expression of horror on her pale face, Kevin took her cold hand and whispered, "Relax, Savannah."

After a few deep breaths, Savannah took a glass of water and gradually calmed down. She looked at Kevin and asked nervously, "am I really married? With Mr. Sterling?"

Kevin nodded and said slowly, "You lost part of your memory after a hemorrhage in the Caesarean operation."

"My baby… His father… Is his father, Mr. Sterling?" Savannah stammered.

In her memory, all about that man was blank. She couldn\'t figure out how he became her husband. How she hoped they were joking with her.

"Yes." Kevin\'s reply quenched her last hope.

"Why... Why didn\'t you tell me?" asked Savannah, thoroughly aroused, putting her head in her hands.

Kevin gently held her wrists and pulled her hands down. He stroked her back and comforted her with gentle words.

Savannah cooled down, looking at him. "I know you do everything for my good. Kevin, tell me, what the hell happened to Devin\'s uncle and me three years ago?"

Kevin sighed and began to tell the long story from beginning to end, from how she knew Dylan to how she gave birth to the baby in the Caesarean operation.

For fear that Savannah could not accept the truth or would be too excited, he said in a slow and gentle voice.

It was near noon when he finished.

Savannah listened quietly as if she was listening to someone else\'s story.

In the beginning, she was sent to the man\'s bed by Devin.

He kept her at his side because she looked like the girl who had saved him when he was young.

Because of the appearance of that girl, she, as the substitute, had to quit.

Kevin was right. It was better for her not to know the truth three years ago.

She was weak after giving birth and couldn\'t remember many things... She might be driven crazy by such a campy story on herself.

Sending the baby back to the Sterling family and taking her abroad became the best choice.

Savannah was silent for a long time.

"I didn\'t tell you the truth but took advantage of your memory loss and took you abroad. Three years later, I accompanied you back to participate in the designer competition but didn\'t let you go out because I feared that you would meet Dylan or anyone from the Sterling family again. Savannah, do you blame me for separating you from your own family? Do you hate me for hiding the fact from you? If you\'re angry, scold me or beat me, I\'ll have no complaints." Kevin whispered.

"I never blame you." Savannah shook her head. It was not Kevin\'s fault. Kevin just wanted to protect her.

"Really?" Kevin gave a relieved smile.

She nodded. "That was a past story. Let bygones be bygones. I\'ll go back to Italy with you after the designer competition."

"Have you made up your mind?" Kevin\'s eyes lit up.

"Yes," Savannah nodded again, but then she asked nervously, "Kevin, you already know that I met Mr. Sterling again and got a job in his company, don\'t you?"

Otherwise, Kevin couldn\'t have known that she had questions about that man.

Maybe that was why he came back early.

"Yeah. In fact, I met him in the early morning." Kevin said drily. How he hoped that the man could disappear in their world forever.

"Did he say anything to you?" For some reason, Savannah didn\'t want Kevin to know what that man did to her last night.

"Nothing." Kevin also didn\'t mention the fight he had with Dylan. "I just asked him not to harass you in the future. He didn\'t say anything and left."
