Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

Savannah bit her lip and whispered breathlessly, "You aren't well yet. It's not good to have…have sex now. Later... okay?"

Dylan was still staring down into her eyes, his jaw clenched, eyes burning, but his hand didn't go further. Finally, he pulled down her skirt and smoothed it, leaning down to her red ear, "Remember what you said. Later."

Then he dropped a kiss on her belly before he left.

Down the stairs, Dylan straightened his slightly ruffled collar with a glance at his father.

Old Sterling raised his brows when he saw that he went downstairs alone. "You agree? Will Savannah stay?"

"Well, we haven't found the one who wanted to hurt Savannah. What's more, I haven't altogether recovered. It's much safer for her to live here recently." Dylan said dryly.

"You can rest assured and go back to the hospital," old Sterling said and smiled in relief, "of course, I'll look after my own grandson. And don't be impulsive again! What's the use of the bodyguards? Why not ask them to save Savannah from the fire?"

Although old Sterling was displeased that his son had hidden Savannah's pregnancy from himself, he was much more worried to know Dylan was badly hurt. He asked Cooper and a driver to take Dylan back to the hospital.

The arsonist who tied Savannah to a chair in the fire was caught by the police in three days.

Since Dylan Sterling was hurt in this hospital arson case, it engaged the great attention of the police chief who personally urged the investigation of the case. So the efficiency in handling the case was quite high.

Garwood came to the Sterling's house the next day and told the results to old Sterling and Savannah.

The criminal was Mike, and behind the scenes, Valerie told him what to do before she was arrested.

Valerie said in the written record that she learned her cousin was pregnant through Sarah, a newly hired nurse. Then she called Mike and promised to give him five hundred thousand if he could abort Savannah's unborn baby.

Every time Savannah went out, she was accompanied by lots of bodyguards and servants, and Mike could hardly find the opportunity. Finally, when he followed her to the hospital that day, he saw her enter the bathroom alone and knocked her out with chloroform dipped cloth. Then he forced the lock of the lumber-room in which he tied her to a chair and lit a carton with a cigarette lighter.

At present, Mike had confessed everything and was sent to prison. What awaited him was the severe punishment of the law.

Sarah, who revealed her client's information, spoiled her own reputation in the domestic nursing circle, and her career prospects were also ruined.

After hearing Garwood's report, old Sterling was understandably got into a good-sized rage. He was still angry with Valerie, who planned to cheat him with a bastard, and now he became more furious and could not speak for a long time.

How repulsive and poisonous Many was! She not only betrayed Devin and tried to win the Sterling's property with a bastard, but also conspired with her lover to kill his grandson? His anger almost suffocated him!

Seeing this, Garwood pacified him, "Sir, don't be angry. This time, Valerie would be punished severely. Even if she won't get a death sentence, she's not too far away from life imprisonment. She has already got the punishment she should have. What's more, she has signed the divorce agreement with Mr. Yontz and had nothing to do with the Sterling family now."

Savannah was filling a glass of water for old Sterling when she heard this.

Indeed, her cousin deserved what came to her. It was her own retribution, and she was not worthy of pity. But Savannah was not happy at all when she heard Valerie's tragic end.

Maybe it was because they had the same family name, Schultz.

She could only hope that her cousin would repent of her former wrongdoings in prison...

"Miss Schultz? Are you okay?" Garwood sensed Savannah's silence. The glass in her hand was overflowing…

"Oh, yes." Savannah recovered and forced a smile.

Old Sterling thought she was offended when she knew what Valerie had done. "Sophie? Take Miss Schultz back to her room to rest," he shouted his order to the maid waiting behind Savannah.

Savannah was not really uncomfortable, but seeing how worried old Sterling was, she had to stand up obediently and follow Sophie up the stairs to her room.

After Savannah left, old Sterling looked at Garwood again. "Garwood, how're Dylan these days? I heard that he went back to work this morning? How did he discharge from the hospital so soon? Has he recovered?"

"Sir, Mr. Sterling's injury is not so serious. The doctor said the edges of the wound had joined up, and it will be the same that he goes back to take care of it. Mr. Sterling has been thinking about the company, so he left the hospital a little earlier." Garwood said.

Knowing that his son was a workaholic, old Sterling sighed and then said, "ask him to come if he is free today. I want to talk to him."

"Yes, sir."

After dinner, Savannah played on the computer and chatted with Olivia online upstairs.

Old Sterling didn't have strict rules for her as what Dylan used to do. She was allowed to watch TV and spend time on the cell phone at any time. There were few regulations, and all that she should do was to keep herself in a happy mood.

She didn't want Sophie or Emma to follow her closely, and old Sterling didn't insist; she didn't need a nurse to take care of her life, and old Sterling agreed too.

At times, she felt that Dylan was more like an elder than his father and was too hard on everything.

One of the characteristics of youth was good health. Olivia was getting better and better day by day, and now she could walk downstairs alone. She chatted with Savannah every day, and today she told her that she could leave the hospital in a week.

Savannah was so absorbed in the chatting that she didn't notice the bedroom door was pushed open, and the footsteps behind her were approaching.

"Who are you talking to?" Dylan leaned forward and whispered in her ear.

Savannah cocked her head slightly and saw Dylan's handsome face on her shoulder, his breathing hot and made her flush. The bandage had been removed from his head, and the wound appeared to be healed.

"I'm chatting with Olivia..." She murmured.

"Go to bed early." He stretched his arm and put his right hand on hers. Then he led her hand to take the mouse to close the dialog box.

This flirty action elicited a delicious, tickly shiver on her. Savannah struggled out of his grip after he turned off the computer.

"Okay, I'll take a shower and get ready for bed." She stood up and was about to go to the bathroom when he put his arms around her from behind.

Savannah stared at Dylan in the over-large mirror in the left front of them. Their eyes met briefly in the mirror, and she looked flushed and slightly unfocused.
