MIDNIGHT Bride The CEO's TEMPTATION

Mr. Hawk, who put on airs before, now crouched, tucking his knees under his chin and putting his head in his hands; he was punched and kicked in the open by two bodyguards.

Oh hell!

How could he know that Savannah was Dylan Sterling's woman!

Besides, he didn't take advantage of Savannah at all!

Mr. Sterling had come before he could even see that model in the bikini.

He was wronged!

Not far away, Dylan stood on the steps, watching the man being beaten, his hands in his pockets, and his shadow lengthening by the light.

Maybe it was because Savannah ran away again, his heart was overflowing with anger.

So, he punished this old lecher for venting his anger.

After a time, there was no strength in Mr. Hawk anymore, and his body sagged. "Sir, Mr. Hawk has fainted." A bodyguard said.

Dylan gave a snort of disgust, turned, and walked away to the guest house.

***

At the same time.

In the most luxurious guest room, the crystal pendant lamp looked soft and bright. In the middle of the room, there was a king-size bed that was large enough for five people to sleep on. It was covered with romantic red roses.

In the air, there was a sweet aphrodisiac smell.

Abby asked a waiter to prepare the room after dinner, imagining a passionate and romantic night with Dylan.

She had bathed in advance and had changed into a red silk gown, like a passionate rose, waiting for Dylan to come.

After tonight, she would be Dylan's woman.

Then Savannah could never be able to shake her position.

It would be nice if she conceived and bore Dylan, a son.

Old Sterling attached great importance to children. Take Valerie, for instance, a girl from a poor family background now married Devin Yontz even though it was said that old Sterling and Susan didn't like her at all, but because she was pregnant with old Sterling's great-grandchild, she was accepted by Sterling.

Abby thought if she was pregnant, she would surely become Mrs. Sterling.

Thinking of this, Abby's cheek glowed with shyness.

The sound of a man's feet came to the door, and a waiter said politely, "Mr. Sterling, please, Ms. White is already in the room."

Abby stood up and looked at Dylan coyly. "Dylan, this is the room I arranged for tonight. Do you like it?"

Dylan looked around. "It's nice." His voice was not excited at all.

Abby timidly walked to him, saying, "You look unhappy, Dylan, is there anything you are not satisfied with? This is the best room in their resort. If you don't like it, we'll change it."

It was not the room, but the fact that he did not want to share the room with her.

He knew that Abby was ready to give herself to him tonight when the waiter led him here.

"No. This room is good."

Abby was overjoyed. "Well, why don't you take a break, and I'll pour you a glass of wine…"

"Don't you understand me?" Dylan interrupted her impatiently.

"What?" Abby froze for a moment.

"I mean, I will stay in this room, but I'm not going to share it with you."

His words fell on Abby like a splash of cold water. All her joy was dampened. Was he driving her off?

Seeing she stayed where she was, Dylan wrinkled his brows and was about to call the waiter to help Abby out when Abby responded and threw herself at him. She hugged him from behind and rubbed her breasts against his back to arouse his desire.

Now she was in the same room with him anyway, why should she save her face?

As long as she could become Dylan's woman tonight, she would count on nothing.

Dylan's face darkened when Abby flabby wrapped her arms around his strong waist. "Take your hands off me."

"No! Dylan, I don't want to let you go. I like you…I want to be your woman. I don't want to leave..." Abby summoned up her courage and squeezed her soft body against him, fresh sobs breaking from her.

She believed that she, in general, would capture men easily in this way, but Dylan was not a typical man.

"I'll say it once more. You, get out." Dylan said, coldly and sternly.

With his last patient, he restrained himself from being rude to her. Abby, not aware of the danger, sniffed and continued, "Are you still thinking of that Schultz? Why? She is just a grass-roots model with no family background. I'm the daughter of the White family. Dylan, I love you, I can give you a baby…"

Her last remark reminded Dylan of his most exasperating thing and incited him to anger perfectly.

Give him a baby?

Some so many women were willing to give him children, but that little woman dared to refuse him over and over again!

Savannah promised him before pretending to be obedient like a cute little rabbit, but secretly took oral contraceptives!

His temper got worse. He threw her arms off with a violent movement, throwing her away.

Abby gave a scream when she fell down on the sofa next to her. Before she could pick herself up, Dylan grabbed the suit from the clothes rack and left the room angrily.

***

In the hospital.

Savannah did not know how long she was asleep. She felt like leaning on a warm and soft pillow on which her heart hushed to happy quietness. She did not want to be roused.

Until a little childish voice said, "sister Savannah?"

She opened her eyes and woke up. Tony, who had already woken up, was standing in front of her with a big smile.

Kevin, close together to her, still offered his shoulder for her to lay her head-on.

Outside the window of the infusion room, the rosy blush of morn began to mantle in the east.

No pillow at all! She leaned on Kevin's shoulder all night!

Savannah stood up, embarrassed: "Brother Kevin, I'm sorry…"

Oh, she took Tony for injection but fell asleep instead of taking good care of Tony.

She was just too tired.

Kevin smiled. "Did you sleep well?"

She blushed and nodded, turning to Tony, and touched his forehead with her hand. "Your fever has remitted. How are you feeling now?"

"Much better." Tony's rosy face proved that he was full of vigor now.

Young children were resilient. Savannah laughed and patted Tony's head gently.

"You must be hungry now. I'm going to buy some breakfast." Kevin said.
