MIDNIGHT Bride The CEO's TEMPTATION

Savannah did not want to be like Valerie, who married into the Sterling family all because of the baby. Under her glorious appearance, there was no happiness but only a miserable existence.

Garcia hesitated for a moment and then said, "it seems that Mr. Sterling's very nice to you. I heard from Mr. Garwood that Mr. Sterling even bought the Schultz's factory from your uncle and returned it to you... That man spent time and money on you, and he must like you. I don't understand why he isn't willing to marry you."

Savannah clenched her hands, and finally, she told Garcia that Dylan had taken her as a substitute.

Besides her parents, Garcia was the only person in the world who really cared about her, without any aim. She had nothing to hide from her.

A look of apprehension came into Garcia's face as she listened. She looked at the pregnant girl in front of her, and pity welled up in her heart. She found herself completely unable to help her this time.

"It's okay, Garcia, I don't care. It's just an accident," Savannah forced a smile, trying to reassure Garcia.

But Garcia shook her head slowly. If Savannah really didn't care, she wouldn't be so sad.

Garcia's all-seeing eyes made Savannah uneasy. She turned her face aside a little.

"Savannah, you... you want to marry him, don't you?" Garcia got straight to the point.

"No!" Savannah blurted out, tremulously, "I don't," she murmured.

"If you really have no feelings for that man and don't want to have further development with him, how can you be willing to get pregnant for him and give birth to a child for him?" Garcia watched her closely.

At these words, Savannah compressed her lips so tightly that they went white. This could not be refuted. If she did not like that man, even if she was forced to get pregnant, there were many ways to abort the child. Her own choice was the key.

Yes, she got pregnant because of his trick. She tried to have an abortion, but he stopped her in time. She had been telling herself that she had to obey him, for her father's factory, and for the old workers. But now Garcia reminded her, and she finally viewed herself clearly.

She had to confess that she agreed to give birth to his child because she was willing to do that. Deep in her heart, she wanted to be involved in his life, and she had already been willing to have his kids, right?

When this idea presented itself, Savannah was almost persuaded to shake her head. She held her breath and said, "Auntie Garcia, I don't want to talk about that."

Savannah's evasive manner told everything. Garcia sighed helplessly. Although Savannah was forced to stay with Mr. Sterling, it seemed that she had already had a special feeling for that man, but she didn't want to admit it.

"Just tell me what I can do for you, I'm always your family," said Garcia, holding Savannah's cold hand.

Savannah nodded.

After they chatted for a while, Garcia accompanied Savannah down the stairs. Garwood got up from the sofa and walked to them.

Garcia looked at Garwood and said sincerely, "Mr. Garwood, I've been the nanny in this house for more than ten years. Mr. Schultz treated me very well when he was alive, and I also take Savannah as my own child. I don't care who Mr. Sterling is, I just hope you can take care of Savannah, please."

"As you can see, Mr. Sterling never treat Miss Schultz badly," Garwood smiled and turned to Savannah, "Miss Schultz, the owner of this house in Green Bay, didn't want to sell it at first. Mr. Sterling tried every means and paid three times the price to buy it back. In order to restore the furniture and decoration in the house, Mr. Sterling managed to find the old photographs of the house and sent a group of people to find or make the furniture piece by piece. Your old toys were sent to a warehouse after the house was sold, and we got them back after some difficulty. What's more, Mr. Sterling knew that Garcia had watched you grow from childhood, and you must miss her, so he asked me to take her back to you…"

Savannah didn't say a word, but she appeared quite moved, and a bit shook. After a while, she said good-bye to Garcia and slowly walked outside.

Garwood quickly followed her.

Savannah looked out of the window quietly as the car drew slowly away from Green Lake.

Garwood glanced at her in the rear mirror, wondering if she had become a little softened toward Mr. Sterling.

"Mr. Sterling's waiting for you at Bellomont. Miss Schultz, I'll take you there now if you like." He asked tentatively.

"Okay," Savannah blurted out before she could think more.

Perhaps she also wanted to talk to him face to face. The war between them couldn't last forever.

Garwood breathed a sigh of relief. Miss Schultz, at last, thawed slightly. The car picked up speed, and they drove toward Bellomont.

Royal Villa

Charlotte sat on the sofa, turning the leaves of a fashion magazine open before her, and she stared steadily at the smiling girl on it.

Every page of the magazine had a picture of Savannah Schultz in the image of the goddess in a game. These promotional photos were apparently taken before she got pregnant.

In the photograph, Schultz was wearing a purple dress made of delicate embroidered French lace. Her auburn hair was swept up demurely, and in her hands, she held a bouquet of a delicate blue enchantress. She looked so lovely and fantastic that she could capture every man's heart, including Dylan's...

Charlotte leaned forward and shut the magazine. She didn't want to see that girl anymore, but she couldn't calm down.

That day on the phone, Dylan asked her what gifts girls liked. She was overjoyed and thought Dylan had a gift for her.

In fact, he was preparing gifts to surprise Schultz.

Dylan talked a little more to her all because of another girl…

She said girls wanted to be taken as a princess, so he made Schultz the focus of the country.

Charlotte's face clouded over, and she began to lose faith in herself.

She thought nothing of Schultz at first. Though that girl was pregnant with Dylan's baby, she was at most Dylan's mistress.

If Dylan wanted a wife, the daughter of the Rowe family was undoubtedly much more competitive than an unknown model.

Charlotte knew the rules in those powerful families. Lots of rich young men would have underground lovers before marriage, and some even had illegitimate sons. But they never marry those women of poor backgrounds, and their wives would always be noble ladies like her.
