Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Chapter 177 - 177: Behave Yourself

"Mrs. Yontz, behave yourself, please! Otherwise, don't blame me for being unkind!" said the bodyguard coldly.

Susan gritted her teeth, knowing that the man suddenly appeared in front of Savannah was one of Dylan's bodyguards.

Oh, Dylan had assigned this little bitch a bodyguard!

Did Dylan really treat Savannah as a princess?

"How dare you to stop me? I am your master's sister, the daughter of old Sterling! You want to die?" shouted Susan angrily.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Sterling said no one could hurt Miss Schultz." The bodyguard said drily.

"You --" Susan's face was distorted with fury. She stared at the bodyguard gloweringly and snorted as she tried to get around him.

When Susan turned on Savannah like a wild dog, the bodyguard did not hesitate anymore. He seized her hand and strode off to his car, dragging Susan behind him.

"What are you doing? Let me go! How dare you treat me like this! My father will kill you!" Susan couldn't believe a bodyguard had the audacity to do this to her.

All those around them looked at Susan, who was kicking and crying with amazement, taking her as a lunatic running out of a mental hospital.

Unmoved, the bodyguard, threw Susan into his car, closed the door, and locked her in. Then he turned to Savannah, bowing, "Miss Schultz, I'm sorry to shock you! I will take Mrs. Yontz away right now. She won't interfere with your shopping anymore!"

"Oh... Okay. Take your time." Savannah then recovered from the farce.

The bodyguard got in the car and left, ignoring Susan's roaring.

Olivia gaped. She slapped Savannah on the shoulder. "Mr. Sterling unexpectedly arranged a bodyguard for you! You know, I thought I was watching a gangland thriller!"

The bodyguard was really like an ancient knight who escorted his princess!

"Come on. Who wants to be followed? Are you comfortable when being watched all the time? I can give that guy to you for free if you like!" Savannah rolled her eyes.

"I don't think a bodyguard has anything to do with me. No one's against me. Besides, I'm not Dylan Sterling's woman, who could meet danger any minute of her day!" Olivia laughed and teased.

Savannah made it as if to strike her. Olivia dodged and cleared her throat, "well, why did Devin's mother say that you had harmed her son?"

Savannah then told Olivia the whole story: how Devin asked Dylan's secretary to steal the business secret, and how she got the design drawing back.

"Savannah, I never know you could be a woman spy!" Olivia said in surprise, "it's hard enough to get the file back! Anyway, Susan is really unreasonable. Her son was punished by Mr. Sterling for his own mistakes; she dared not avenge Mr. Sterling for that but came to you with a grudge! You deserve a bodyguard! Otherwise, this mad woman will come to trouble you at any time!"

"A woman spy?" Savannah laughed.

Olivia blinked and gave Savannah a soft nudge. "You're really brave to go to a man's house alone! You are so nice to Mr. Sterling that you took an awful risk!"

Savannah was not a weak girl, but if it were not for Dylan, how could she have had the courage to do this!

"It was not for him!" Savannah retorted, biting her lip.

Why did everyone think she did it for Dylan? No! She just wanted to repay him for his help!

"Really?" Olivia smiled at Savannah, winking.

Savannah sighed helplessly. "Are we going to visit your cousin?"

"Well, let's go." Olivia stopped making fun of her.

They called a taxi and came to a very nice townhouse. Olivia led Savannah to one door and pressed the doorbell.

The door opened, and a woman with a big belly welcomed them.

"Good morning, Olivia. This one must be your friend Savannah."

The pregnant woman was Olivia's cousin, Donna. She was a fair, mild woman, probably in her thirties, but was well maintained. She beckoned them in, seated them, and then went to the kitchen to make the coffee.

"Olivia, isn't your cousin-in-law in? Your cousin is going to have a baby. It must be inconvenient for her to be alone." Savannah asked casually.

"I don't have a cousin-in-law." Olivia turned pale and lowered her voice.

Savannah gasped, "was she divorced?"

"No, I haven't even seen my cousin's husband."

Savannah was surprised. Was Donna an unmarried mother?

Although unwed mothers were nothing new in modern society, she was still somewhat curious to see such people around her.

According to Olivia, Donna was from out of town. She stayed at home every day with no job.

But it was not cheap to live here…

How could an unmarried mother be so rich and lived in such a nice house with no job?

Just then, Donna came out to serve them the coffee. Savannah swallowed her doubts and didn't ask more.

"Savannah, the baby products you picked for me with Olivia last time are quite good. Thank you. You stay here today, and I'll make you some good dishes." Donna said softly.

Donna was a gentle and virtuous woman. Savannah had a soft spot for her and felt pity that such a nice woman was a single mother. She must have a bitter experience.

The three of them sat on the sofa, laughing and talking.

By about noon, Donna went to the kitchen to do the cooking.

She was a great cook, and the meals were really delicious. Savannah and Olivia were so hungry that they ate a lot.

Before they left, Savannah exchanged phone numbers with Donna so that she could ask her for advice on cooking.

While waiting for a taxi, Savannah sighed and asked, "Olivia, how could a good woman like your cousin be a single mother? Where is that man?"

She was not really a gossip girl, and she seldom pried into other's private affairs. Perhaps because Olivia was her best friend, and Donna was Olivia's cousin, she cared about them.

"Donna is my distant relative, and I didn't usually have much personal contact with her in the past. She came to LA two months ago. When I got in touch with her and learned that she is pregnant, I occasionally came to see her. She never mentioned the father of the baby. I don't want to ask more, in case I touch her sore spot." Olivia sighed.
