Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Chapter 420 - 420: You Can’t Get Divorced

Dylan didn't expect Savannah to stay for dinner. He paused and followed her into the dining room.

It was almost an enjoyable and excellent dinner because of Kaiden and old Sterling. The awkward situation Savannah expected didn't happen.

After dinner, Savannah spent another hour with Kaiden in the living room playing with Legos.

Kaiden had a very full and satisfactory day. After a good meal and a happy toy time with his mommy, he was so tired that he fell asleep on Savannah's lap.

When Savannah looked up, she found the whole living room quiet and empty. Old Sterling was no longer on the sofa, and only Dylan was left sitting opposite her.

"I'll take Kaiden upstairs for a rest and let the driver send you home," Dylan said softly as he reached out for Kaiden.

Gathering up her nerve, Savannah suddenly said, "Wait a minute, I... I want to talk to you."

Dylan raised his eyebrows and sat back down.

Savannah held Kaiden, who slept sound, and continued, "Have you thought about what I suggested last time? I know you're busy, but a quick divorce won't take much time."

In fact, that was also why she chose to stay for dinner tonight.

First, she did not want to let Kaiden down, and another reason was that she thought it was a good chance to mention divorce to him again.

Dylan's expression suddenly changed, and his eyes cooled.

He thought she was willing to stay for dinner because her heart melted. He thought she was trying to accept him...

Oh, he just flattered himself.

She still wanted to divorce him.

For a long time, he looked so depressed that he seemed to be unable to open his mouth.

Though there was only a coffee table between them, he felt that the distance between their hearts was too far.

"You hate to be Mrs. Sterling so much?" He asked, a little bitterly.

The bitter and accusatory in his voice seemed to wring her heart. But how could she give up the idea of divorce because of his unhappiness?

She had no feeling for this man, no matter how she felt for him before.

Even if she nourished a deep affection for him before, she had been hurt by him, and she was said to be only a substitute for another girl.

What he really liked was the young lady who had saved him.

Savannah stiffened her mind at this thought, looking into his dark eyes and nodded. "Yes. I don't want to be Mrs. Sterling. I think there's another woman around you who would be more suitable for you. I've taken too much of your time, and after we get divorced, you'll be free to choose the right woman and marry her."

He tried not to show a pained look in front of her and asked dryly, "Do you want your son to have a stepmother? Are you willing to see your son call another woman, mommy?"

Savannah bent her head and took a look at the sleeping boy. Though they hadn't spent too much time together, she knew she loved him, and she felt empathy with him as his mother.

Of course, she did not want her son to call someone else, mommy. But she had no other choice. If Dylan's future wife treated Kaiden badly or couldn't give him much love, she could fight for custody of her son. But maybe it was still better for him to grow up in a big family.

"I'll be grateful if your future wife can treat Kaiden as her own child," she murmured, "but if she doesn't like Kaiden. I'm willing to raise Kaiden and let him live with me so that he won't affect your life."

Dylan's look turned colder and penetrating.

She was so nonchalant even when she talked about his future wife.

He really meant nothing to her now.

Love could not be forced. In that case, why not just let her go free?

He was about to speak when Kaiden started to whimper in Savannah's arms.

Startled, Savannah patted him on his back softly and asked, "Kaiden? Is it a nightmare? Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Dylan went over and squatted down to check his son.

Kaiden stared at Savannah, his eyes moist with tears. "I don't want a stepmother! I don't want to live in a divorced family! You can't get divorced!"

Savannah did not expect that Kaiden heard their conversation, and she could only comfort him softly, "don't cry."

"I have a friend in the kindergarten whose parents divorced," Kaiden sobbed and said in a pathetic voice, "his stepmother's so bad that she only likes her own children, and she scolds and beats him every day! I don't want a stepmother, I'll be abused! Will you be happy seeing me suffer?"

Dylan felt funny. Who dared to abuse him? But this little guy's acting was quite good. No one could bear to see such a cute boy suffer any pain.

Sure enough, his tears melted Savannah's heart.

"Don't cry, my honey. We… we won't get divorced!" Savannah said helplessly as she hugged him to her heart.

"Really?" Kaiden's eyes brightened, and he stopped crying.

In order to appease Kaiden, Savannah gritted her teeth and nodded, "Yes! Mommy will not be going to divorce your Dad,"

"Pinky swear!" Kaiden held out his fleshy little finger and said.

Savannah had no choice but to interlock little fingers with him.

Kaiden uttered a cry of satisfaction.

As a result, Savannah did not dare to discuss divorce with Dylan anymore.

She coaxed Kaiden for a long time before she finally brought a smile to his face. Breathing a better breath, Savannah rose and said, "Look, Kaiden, I gotta get going."

Kaiden nodded as he rubbed his eyes, also a little sleepy.

It was late, so Dylan decided to let Kaiden rest here. He asked a maid to carry Kaiden up the stairs.

As Kaiden leaned his head on the maid's shoulder, he stared at Savannah and Dylan and repeated loud,

"No divorce. Keep your word!"
