Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Chapter 230 - 230: Everyone’s Watching Us

"More than that." Savannah sneered, "old Sterling gave Rosemount Villa near the Sterling's house to Valerie and Devin to live in."

Olivia had heard of Rosemount Villa, of course. That villa was worth a thousand pieces of gold! She gasped, "Valerie had wronged you with a dead baby in her! Old Sterling must have been very angry at her! Didn't Devin drive her back to her parents' house and say he would divorce her? Why does old Sterling treat them so well now and give that villa to them? Is he confused by his sickness?"

Savannah looked at her good friend and said, "Valerie's pregnant again."

Olivia froze and rolled her eyes, "she reserved the situation by another baby? Well, so lucky. But she doesn't deserve to be a mother. God's blind to give her another baby!"

"Don't let such a woman upset us," Savannah smiled, "it's none of our business."

"I'm just worried about you! Now that she gains the upper hand, I'm afraid that she'll embarrass you again! When she gives birth to a great-grandson for old Sterling, her position will be more stable, and it will be easier for her to harm you!" Olivia said indignantly, hands-on-hips.

Savannah laughed, "she had a lot of trouble after getting me wrong at that time. Besides, how could she harm me? I don't live with her, and I do everything with a clear conscience, she won't have a chance."

Olivia held Savannah's arm and sighed, "why does this woman have such good luck? Didn't Devin drive her back to her parent's house after she miscarried? How could she get pregnant again so soon?"

And then, all of a sudden, she stopped, and her jaw dropped as though she had remembered something.

"What's up?" Savannah looked at Olivia when she stopped.

"Savannah, how long is your cousin pregnant?" Olivia asked hesitatingly.

"I think it has been three months."

Three months... Olivia's eyes moved.

One morning, three months ago, she saw a woman who looked like Valerie, entering a box in a bar with a man in an intimate way.

She thought she made a wrong guess at that time, but now, she became more and more skeptical...

What if she read it right that day? If that woman was really Valerie...

That was to say, Valerie was likely to have had a one-night stand in a bar with a strange man?

In those days, Valerie must be in a bad mood after she was driven back to her parent's house, and it was quite likely that she was taken advantage of when she drank in a bar!

According to Valerie's month of pregnancy, she really wondered who was the real father of the baby in her ...

Olivia's palms were sweating at the thought.

"Olivia, what's wrong? Why did you ask such a thing?" Savannah noticed her abnormality.

Everything was not clear yet, so it was useless to tell Savannah now.

What if she had mistaken that woman?

Besides, there was no conclusive evidence at present. Even if Savannah went back and told old Sterling, Valerie wouldn't admit and might blame Savannah for wronging her.

Well, she couldn't tell Savannah until she checked the fact!

Thinking of this, Olivia shook her head and said, "nothing. Just out of curiosity."

Savannah didn't ask more. They took a taxi and left the airport.

***

Savannah hadn't gone out with Olivia for a long time, and she didn't want to go back early. After seeing Donna off, she spent a day downtown with Olivia and had a meal before returning to the Sterling's house.

Night fell, and the street lights went on.

When Savannah walked into the porch, she found the servants standing in the hallway with their heads lowered, and there was a cowardly silence.

Looking up, she saw a tall figure standing near the French window, his hands behind his back.

Dylan was back.

A servant saw her coming back, hurried over, and whispered, "Miss Schultz, you're finally back. Mr. Sterling couldn't find you and is quite annoyed."

Savannah took out her mobile phone, only to find that there were more than a dozen missed calls.

She silenced the phone while watching a movie with Olivia. Then she forgot to turn it back on and missed his calls.

No wonder he was angry.

She went to the French window and stopped several paces from him, "I'm back," she murmured.

Dylan turned his head slightly, and his eyes were tight. "You still know to come back? Do you think you can forget the time when you're not living in Beverly Hills?"

Since the last time she was kidnapped, he had arranged additional bodyguards for her.

Every time she went out, there were more than three bodyguards following her in the dark.

When he couldn't get through her phone, his mind became unrested, and he immediately contacted her bodyguards, only to know that she was shopping with her friend. He felt relieved but then angrier.

She was so happy with her friend that she even didn't answer his call. Were his words still in her mind?

With the support of his father, the little woman got bolder and bolder!

Savannah smiled consciously, "sorry, Dylan. I went to see Donna off, and then I spent more time with Olivia. I seldom went out these days, so I forgot myself. I'm sorry, it won't happen again."

Based on past experience, apologizing first was better than waiting for his punishment. And it's better to be soft than stubborn.

So, she acted girly deliberately with an arch tone.

As expected, the harsh look in his eyes faded a little. Especially when she said that she seldom went out these days, his expression became much softer.

Seeing his face relaxed, Savannah immediately changed the subject, "has old Sterling returned? I'll see..."

She was about to turn around and go upstairs when her wrist was grasped by a large hand, which pulled her back. She suddenly fell into his wide and hot arms.

"He's already asleep," Dylan said in a low husky voice.

The little woman's trying to find a reason to run away from him again?

Dream on!

Dylan was holding her tightly against his arms. Savannah inhaled his clean, vital scent, flushing, and struggled out of his grasp. He pulled her close, and suddenly, he turned around with her, pushing her against the French window. Before she knew it, he pinned her to the glass window and brought his hand up to grasp her chin, and held her in place. He was suffocating her with his muscles and his body heat.

Savannah, facing all the servants, was actually blushing but dared not struggle again, "Dylan, everyone's watching us..." she muttered with shame.

Even if this was his home and all the people were the Sterling's servants, he didn't have to be so frivolous in front of them!
