Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Chapter 359 - 359: She Helped Him Choose

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone.

Finally, Dylan said calmly, "I thought we've agreed on this."

Savannah was really down in the dumps at his words. She remained silent for quite a while before she finally found her voice, "you still don't want to, do you?"

"We'll talk about it when I'm back," Dylan said helplessly. The secretary was waiting for him at the door, and it was not convenient for him to say that on the phone. It seemed that the little woman was really depressed. He must explain to her more clearly tonight.

Savannah said nothing more and hung up.

She was foolish to try again. It was the same answer.

She didn't understand why the man changed in such a short time. Charlotte had saved him, so she was more important? That was really ridiculous.

Savannah sat on the edge of the bed in a daze for a long time. She thought things over and over but failed to figure it out. Finally, she was awakened by the familiar pain in her belly.

With her hands covering the baby bump, she bore the pain without a word and moved to the desk. She sat down and turned her PC on and opened a blank document.

She typed out two words with her trembling fingers: Divorce Settlement.

Looking blankly at the screen, she could not dull the aching of her heart. She loved him, yes, but she was too tired after having gone through all these things. She couldn't bear that there was another girl in her man's mind.

Not even a bit of it.

She adjusted her breathing, controlled her emotions, and continued typing.

After finishing the document, she printed it out and signed her name in the signature space. Then she put the paper in the drawer with the diamond ring and the marriage license. She assumed Dylan would bring the documents to the city registrar once he saw it to make it legal. After all, it's about time for them to separate.

She had never thought her marriage would end so quickly, like a drop of morning dew being evaporated by the sun.

Maybe she shouldn't have agreed to marry him at all.

She should have known that there was already another woman in this man's mind, and she was just a substitute. However, she didn't believe that he would care about the girl he had just met once more than her, and she didn't expect that the girl was his neighbor in Chicago who was almost crazy in love with him.

She did not want to be hurt in this love triangle. So, why not leave first in a smart way?

She had followed him for so long, like a small pet, enjoying his love and care. But she never helped him or gave him anything in return, except the baby.

Now, the divorce agreement would be the last she could give him. With this, he would no longer be torn between two women.

He didn't know which to choose. It was fine. She helped him choose.

She had never thought that a man of his dignity could really belong to her. It was all right now. She did not have to worry about losing him all the time.

As she closed the drawer, her chest constricted, her tears started to fall, and she choked back a sob. Soon tears were streaming down her face, and she really didn't understand why she was crying. Even if he forced himself to finish the wedding ceremony with her later, he would always feel sorry about Charlotte. She had saved him, so he would come to her whenever she needed, right? Perhaps it was best to back away now with what self-esteem she had reasonably intact.

She had survived when her mother disappeared, and her father died. It didn't matter now. But the thought of not seeing him again was agonizing.

The phone started ringing.

Savannah wiped away her tears with her sleeve and picked up the phone, "hello?"

"It's me." The man sounded tired, but the familiar voice shocked Savannah.

"Kevin? Didn't you go on a business trip abroad? You come back?" Savannah's tears welled up again.

"Savannah, now that I know everything," Kevin said, there was a hint of pity in his voice.

Savannah was slightly flustered. "What are you talking about?"

"I've called Oliva, and I know all about it. You're pregnant. When you came to JK to take photos the last time, you felt dizzy and almost fell down. You were pregnant at that time, right? You're going to marry Dylan Sterling, and the wedding party had been prepared. But it's canceled all of a sudden. Why?" Kevin asked anxiously.

"Dylan was held up on urgent business…" She gripped the phone tightly.

"What's more important than the wedding? I've enquired. Mr. Sterling flew to Chicago two nights before the wedding, and he didn't return until yesterday. What's going on?" Kevin's tone was full of concern.

Savannah bit her lip. Finally, she told him everything from first to last, with the tears still in her eyes.

Kevin listened quietly on the phone. He didn't interrupt her, but his hard breathing sounded both anxious and angry.

It turned out that Savannah had been a replacement to the girl Dylan had been looking for.

He was heartbroken when the girl he cherished became the woman of another man. But he would bless them if that man treated her with heart. However, he never thought the man only took her as a substitute.

Kevin knew Savannah must be very sad now. He should not express his annoyance to Dylan, or she would feel worse. After Savannah finished, Kevin took a deep breath and said carefully, "where are you now? Still Sterling's house?"

The groom left for another woman before the wedding. She would be laughed at if she was still living there.

"No. I live in Green Bay now, my old home. He bought it back and gave it to me." Savannah said.

That man gave Savannah a house? As compensation? Oh, the rich guy's little game. He didn't expect Dylan would treat her in this way. Kevin's expression grew colder, but he tried to soften his voice, "what are you going to do now?" If Dylan kept a relationship with another woman, would Savannah stay at his side anymore?

Savannah shook her head, "I don't know. I've written the divorce papers, and I'll give it to him tonight."

"Will he agree?" Kevin knew Dylan well. Whether he really liked Savannah or not, he would not let Savannah go. What's more, Savannah was pregnant with his baby now.

Savannah understood what Kevin meant. "I have nothing to do with him except the kid. I'll talk to him about the baby. It should be negotiable. After all, the Sterling family is a big family. He has to keep face for his family," Savannah murmured.
