Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Chapter 424 - 424: I’ll Take Mommy Back

Garcia paused, looking at Savannah, and added sentimentally, "Mr. Sterling treats me so nicely for nothing but you. He knows that I'm your last family in the world."

Savannah's eyes sparkled with an unspeakable light.

"Not only me. He's been nice to the old workers in Schultz's factory. Savannah, do you remember that Mr. Sterling bought the Schultz factory from your uncle three years ago and gave it to you? You've been gone for three years, and the Schultz's factory had no one to manage. Mr. Sterling hired a professional manager to manage the small factory. He also took good care of the old workers left by your father... Your uncle Chuck, you remember? He was ill last year, and if it were not for Mr. Sterling, who helped with money and introduced a doctor, he would not survive…" Garcia choked out through tears.

Savannah listened in silence as Garcia told her what happened to them in the last three years.

She never thought that Dylan silently helped Garcia and those who she cared about with their difficulties...

Garcia's words brought a wave of sympathy to her heart. She clenched her fists to restrain the strange feeling.

No, she could not be easily moved.

Whatever had happened to her and that man three years ago, no matter how much he had doted on her, it was over...

She couldn't remember him. Everything between them was behind them now, so just forget it.

Besides, the one he really liked was not her but his savior, for whom he had abandoned her before their wedding three years ago.

After talking with Garcia for a whole afternoon, Savannah was still reluctant to leave.

In fact, the house in Green Lake was hers now, and she could stay here and live in it with Garcia... However, she felt a little uncomfortable at the thought that Dylan bought the house and gave it to her. If she lived here, it meant that she accepted his gift and accepted him, right?

At last, Savannah told Garcia that she would visit her every week and left.

The semi-final event of the Fashion Designer Awards Competition began. This morning, Kevin drove Savannah to the largest exhibition center where the competition was held. The square in front of the exhibition center was crowded with traffic and people by adhering to the open and just principle, the competition was accessible to the public. So, in addition to the participants and jury, friends and families of the participants were also welcomed to watch the contest. Kevin wanted to stay here to cheer for Savannah. But Savannah knew that he still had a lot of business in JK, especially that some big customers would come to JK for the new game program today. Kevin didn't come back for three years, and there were too many things for him to deal with in person.

She didn't want to delay him."I can go to JK later. Dan will handle the business first, and I want to accompany you here." Kevin hesitated. Most of the participants brought their friends or relatives to cheer them. Savannah, however, had just returned to LA and didn't have made lots of friends yet. Her colleagues had been working overtime every day, and she didn't want to bother them to come.

So he was the only one who could accompany her."Don't worry about me," Savannah smiled as she pushed Kevin into the car, "it's not the final round, and I might be nervous if you're here. Just go with your business, JK needs you more."

"But… Mommy!" A sweet cry came from behind, interrupting their conversation.

Savannah turned and saw a small boy who jumped from the back of a car and ran towards her. Surprised, she crouched down and held him in her arms.

"Kaiden, why are you here?" "I asked Louis to bring me to cheer you on!" Kaiden said with dignity as he glanced at Kevin. Kevin felt funny and smiled at the little guy. This was the first time he met Kaiden after he returned to LA. He could still remember that night when he handed the little baby back to Dylan three years ago. Thinking of this, he felt a little guilty about the boy. After all, it was he who separated the kid from his mother. Now that little baby grew up into a clever, pretty boy. Obviously, Dylan had taken care of him."Good boy." Savannah smiled brightly as she touched Kaiden's head. Then she looked up at Kevin. "Kevin, Kaiden has come to cheer me up. You can just go back to JK to handle your work."Kaiden held Savannah's hand and looked up truculently at Kevin.

"Well, mommy will be fine with me."Kevin noticed his latent hostility towards him. He smiled and nodded.

"All right, call me after the game, and I'll pick you up."

"No! I'll take mommy back," Kaiden said immediately. Savannah laughed and gave Kevin a wink. Kevin smiled and drove away. The contest would start soon. Kaiden would be waiting for her under Louis's company in the audience section while Savannah was preparing backstage.

"Come on, mommy, you're the best!" Kaiden, sitting on Louis' shoulder, clenched his small fist to cheer Savannah. Savannah looked into the little boy's expectant bright eyes, nodded, and left for the backstage.

Only 15 participants advanced to the semi-final events, nine men and six women. Most of them were young designers or graduated students in design major. The average age of them was 25 years old. The competition was aimed at discovering and promoting gifted young people keen on fashion. Now the fifteen semi-finalists were standing in front of the jury, listening to the rules of the second round. The semi-final event was different from the first round. This time, the competitors were provided with a large number of clothes of different styles and seasons, and what they should do was to dress themselves up with those clothes and create their unique styles. After that, they would show themselves before the jury, allowing the jury to select the competitors who could advance to the final round.

Today's event was to test the participants' fashion taste and the ability to show their fascination in a limited choice or in an emergency situation, which was a very important ability for designers. In order to become a good costume designer, you should not only know how to design but should also be highly sensitive to beauty.

Competitors could only choose the clothing prepared by the sponsor, however, accessories, such as necklaces, earrings, and headgears, should be prepared by themselves.
