Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Chapter 423 - 423: Meet Garcia Again

Savannah didn't know how to explain. Though Kaiden was a little man, he couldn't understand the feelings of adults.

But she had to be straightforward on this topic.

"I haven't divorced your father because of you, but now in my eyes, he's only a stranger. How can I live together with a stranger? It's gonna be awkward and painful. Will you marry someone you don't know well when you grow up?"

"No." Kaiden shook his head vaguely.

"That's right." Savannah smiled.

Kaiden hung his head despondently but then clenched his fist to buoy himself up.

As long as mommy doesn't divorce daddy, there's still hope.

He blinked and asked again, "If you had to choose one, daddy or Uncle Rival, who would mommy choose?"

"I choose you! All right?" Savannah pinched his chubby cheek and said sourly.

Kaiden glanced at the open kitchen not far from their seat secretly and didn't persist.

Then he began to report to Savannah about Dylan's latest situation as he cut the beef on his plate. "Mommy, daddy has behaved well lately. No bad aunt came near him."

"Bad aunt?" Savannah paused.

"Anyone who wants to take mommy's place is a bad aunt. Don't worry, I'm here, no bad aunt dare come near dad." Kaiden asserted eloquently.

Savannah chuckled. Then she thought of Charlotte, the woman who indirectly separated her from Dylan three years ago.

In fact, she couldn't remember anything about Charlotte.

According to Kevin, she knew that Charlotte was the girl Dylan had been looking for. Three years ago, Dylan left her before the wedding for Charlotte. Everyone could see that Charlotte's position in Dylan's mind should be very important.

She was a little curious about the relationship between that woman and Dylan now. They should have been together after she left, right?

But as far as she knew, Dylan had no woman at his side. So, where was Charlotte?

Savannah wanted to ask Kaiden, but then she forced her question down.

Who cares? It's none of her business.

"In fact, daddy doesn't have time to deal with those bad aunts. Daddy works hard and spends all days at the office. Sometimes I have to ask Louis to take me to the company to see him." Kaiden continued to talk about Dylan.

Savannah began to imagine a lonely figure sitting in the office. She hurriedly shook her head to drive the strange picture out of her mind.

"Didn't your father have time to accompany you?" she felt sorry for Kaiden. His father was so busy while his mother was not by his side. The little guy must be very lonely.

"I'm all right. There are lots of people playing with me, including grandpa. Daddy is much more miserable than I am. He's always alone." Kaiden tried to get Savannah's sympathy for Dylan.

Savannah didn't say more but changed the subject, "don't you want to have the apple pie before it turns cold?"

At the end of lunch, Kaiden walked Savannah out of the restaurant and stopped a taxi for her.

After the taxi left, Dylan walked out of the restaurant and looked at the direction the taxi disappeared.

Kaiden looked at his dad in sympathy. It was his dad who let him ask mommy out for lunch today.

His dad didn't dare to be seen because he was afraid that mommy would leave if she saw him. So, all he could do was staying in the open kitchen and secretly watch them.

"Don't worry. As you've heard, mommy's not yet gone steady with that uncle. You still have a chance. But of course, mommy loves me most." Kaiden comforted his daddy in his way.

Dylan glanced at the expression of complacency on Kaiden's face and then picked him up, walking to the car.

***

All the way home, Savannah was in the clouds as she looked out of the window. She kept thinking about Kaiden's words at lunch, wondering if Dylan and Charlotte had been together, and then she thought about the lonely figure in the company.

Suddenly, the ringing of the mobile phone pulled back her thoughts.

That little guy brainwashed her successfully! He kept talking about that man during lunch, which made her think about him now.

She must warn Kaiden not to talk about that man anymore.

Taking a breath, she answered the phone, "Hello?"

"Savannah?" came a familiar old woman's voice.

Savannah was shocked for a long time and exclaimed excitedly, "Garcia!"

Green Lake

Savannah sat on the sofa with Garcia in the living room after looking around the old house.

Garcia just knew that Savannah was back.

She had been sorry for Savannah's disappearance for the last three years, and she still regretted that if she had not let Savannah go out to see Kevin alone, it would not have happened.

Today, she finally learned that three years ago, Savannah had had a threatened miscarriage on the way to see Kevin and was sent to the hospital for a cesarean operation.

After the operation, Savannah lost her memory and went to Italy with Kevin.

Through Garcia, Savannah learned that Dylan bought the old house in Green Lake three years ago and gave it back to her. Due to his help, Garcia was found and came back to LA.

She could feel Garcia's excitement to see her. After a long talk, Garcia finally calmed down.

"Garcia, how are you these years? Have you been living here?" Savannah held the old woman's hand and asked.

"Yeah," Garcia wiped her tears and sighed. "I was very guilty of losing you and had no face to stay. I wanted to return to the countryside, but Mr. Sterling was so kind that he hired me as the housekeeper to take care of the house and paid me every month. I live a good life now, much better than when I was in the countryside. What's more, Mr. Garwood would take me to the hospital for a regular physical examination. When I was sick, he would even send the family doctor to see me…"
