Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Chapter 39 - 39: You’re Awesome

Garwood didn't explain but laughed, "As long as it can vent your spleen, Mr. Sterling could even buy a whole mall for you if he likes, let alone some shoes."

Money talks. Savannah sighed and looked at the shoeboxes piled up in the car, "But I can't wear so many shoes, and most of them are not suitable for me. Too wasteful! "

"Mr. Sterling said that you could do whatever you want with these shoes," Garwood continued, "If they don't suit you, you can just throw them away."

Throw them away? What a waste! Savannah moved her eyes, "did he say that I could feel free to dispose of these shoes?"

"Yes."

Savannah thought about it and climbed into the car. "Okay, let's go."

More than half an hour later, the car stopped at the Mission of Hope Orphanage.

Savannah only kept the capeskin ankle boots that she had chosen before and donated all the other shoes to the orphanage. She asked the director to find a second-hand luxury store and sell them as a living expense for the orphanage.

The old director gasped at the price tags of the shoes, many of which were at least thousands of dollars.

Savannah had occasionally donated something to the orphanage in recent years, but never such a big give, and the old director knew that she had been adopted by her uncle and was not very wealthy.

Savannah explained to him, "The benefactor is the CEO of the Sterling Group, Dylan Sterling."

This man must have done lots of bad things, and this time, well, it was for him to accumulate virtue and merit by this charitable act.

"Savannah," said the old director doubtfully, "How do you know the CEO of the Sterling Group? How could he be willing to donate so much to the orphanage?"

"I used to shoot advertisements for the clothing store under the group," Savannah said vaguely. "And I met Mr. Sterling a few times and mentioned that the orphanage needed help. Mr. Sterling was kind enough to listen."

The old director was relieved and smiled, "Savannah, you're awesome to be a model for such a big company!"

Savannah was a little guilty and blushed, fortunately not noticed by the old director.

The Sterling Group would only invite popular stars or models in commercial advertising spots, how could she have the chance as a C-lister?

The old director sighed, "Only you and Kevin always care about the orphanage."

Savannah's heart picked up at Kevin's name.

She hadn't seen Kevin since the dinner, and he had not sent a text message or called her.

Was he so disappointed with her after he saw that she was with Dylan in that way?

She had just had a reunion with Kevin, but it turned to such a situation now, which made her so miserable. She asked, "By the way, sir, do you know what happened to Kevin after he left the orphanage?"

"Why?"

"I just think that Kevin has changed... There was no secret between us before, but now I can feel that there is something he doesn't want to tell me. Besides, he had always been so determined to find his biological parents, but now he told me that he didn't want to find his parents anymore... "

"Nothing special happened. But after Kevin left, a middle-aged man came to the orphanage and looked for him. I gave the man Kevin's address when he pressed and asked me where he had gone."

"Who's that man?"

The old director shook his head. "I don't know. He asked a lot of things about Kevin, and in my experience, I think that... "

"What do you think?"

"I think it's very likely that the man is Kevin's family. I spent my whole life at the orphanage and have seen many parents who once abandoned their children and missed their children when they grew up and secretly come to the orphanage to inquire about their children. In a word, I gave Kevin's contact information to that man, and he didn't come again. He should have found Kevin." Said the old director positively.

Savannah frowned. If that man was really Kevin's family, that was to say, Kevin had already found his family.

But...

Why did he say that he wouldn't look for his family again?

Did he have any trouble with his family?

Brother Kevin, what on earth happened to you after all these years?

***

Savannah was still thinking about Kevin on her way to Beverly Hills.

In fact, she wanted to call Kevin now, but let it go when she saw Garwood, who was in the driver's seat in front of her.

Dylan has been keeping a close watch on her lately, and he even bought a stake in JK to control Kevin and to keep him away from her.

She was afraid that Dylan would take a further step against Kevin if she did anything against his will again or violated the agreement.

When they arrived, she got out of the car and entered the house absent-mindedly, and noticed the tall figure in the living room, just walking straight to the stairs.

Dylan looked over to her sharply and saw clearly her whole body, which was as if bereft of soul and will. He put out the cigar between his fingers and said,

"Come here."

Savannah was startled to see Dylan sitting on the sofa in the living room, "You... Why did you get back so early today?" She moved slowly to him.

In her days in Beverly Hills, there was no fixed time to see Dylan, sometimes once a few days, sometimes late at night.

He ignored her question, "Have you got all your clothes?"

"Yeah." She murmured.

"I heard that you had donated all your shoes to the orphanage." He said.

She shivered when she saw his unfathomable appearance, remembering his punishment that night, and replied carefully, "Garwood said, I was allowed to dispose of those shoes."

From her nervousness, he knew that she had been frightened by his punishment last time. He narrowed his eyes.

She sensed the tension in the air and felt more nervous. Unexpectedly, he held her wrist, and her whole body was pulled towards him. For fear of the fall, she threw her arms around his neck, and before she could respond, she was sitting on his lap, eyes to eyes with him.

She blushed when she felt his firm and muscular thighs under her hips, which burnt her skin. She wanted to stand up but was once again pulled onto his lap. Dylan breathed against her ear, "You are afraid of me? "

Nonsense. Don't you know what you have done to me? Savannah tried not to offend him and kept in mind the terms of the agreement, "no. I just thought you might be unhappy that I gave all the shoes to the orphanage. Well, they are very expensive."

"Did I say that?"

"But you wear a straight face... "She said in a low voice, "and seemed very unhappy."

"I'm unhappy with your condition when you returned." He raised his eyebrows.

She guessed that he was annoyed because she, as his little pet, ignored him when she entered the room. "Sorry I didn't see you there. I'll pay attention next time."
