Valerie, who seemed to become another person, said to Savannah gently, "Savannah, I used to do things on the spur of the moment. But we're cousins, you'll forgive me, won't you?"

Savannah squinted, a sarcastic smile playing on her lips.

They suddenly lost their temper for nothing but old Sterling's favor.

How could she and Dylan refuse to forgive them after they said that? They would seem ungenerous and mean if they insisted on talking about Devin's and Valerie's mistakes.

Dylan obviously saw Devin's intention. He stared at Devin in a cold impertinent way. "Now that dad has forgiven you, just sit down. However, if you do anything wrong again in the future, as your uncle, I won't let you off and will teach you a lesson for your parents." The last sentence was full of warning.

"Of course, it's natural that my uncle should discipline me." Devin still kept smiling. Then he sat down with Valerie.

Old Sterling felt relieved to see the family got a little more complete. "Well, the past is the past. Don't mention it again."

After the dinner, Devin accompanied old Sterling upstairs.

Valerie was eating the fruit on the sofa in the living room. She knew that old Sterling had forgiven her because of the child in her, and she finally relaxed.

Savannah didn't want to face Valerie in the living room, so she went out of the villa, going for a walk in the garden.

After wandering around for a while, she turned and was about to walk back when she saw Valerie walking slowly towards her.

"Why are you wandering in the garden alone without asking me to join you?" Valerie covered her flat belly as she said in a soft but proud voice.

After all, she had suffered, she could finally hold her head up.

Savannah looked at Valerie in front of her with a sneering smile.

Her cousin had really good luck.

She was driven back home by Devin but turned back because she was pregnant again.

However, she did not find it enviable, but rather sad.

If a woman could only maintain her marriage through her children, she would never get the recognition and respect from her husband's family.

"You're pregnant now, more valuable than a queen. I dare not ask you out with me. If you fall and wrong me again, what should I do?" Savannah couldn't keep the sarcasm out of her voice

Valerie's face changed at her cousin's words, and she clenched her fist.

Savannah walked back toward the villa's main house but was pulled by Valerie on the wrist before she passed by. Frowning, Savannah turned to her and said, "What do you want to do? Another falling to miscarriage and framing me up? Valerie, all your hopes in your life are tied to this baby now, I don't think you can stand falling again."

Valerie's face turned red with anger, and she really wanted to slap Savannah in the face! Anyway, she was pregnant now. Even if Savannah went to complain to Dylan, old Sterling would not blame her!

But then she remembered Devin's instructions.

Devin reminded her that they should be humble and keep their heads down in the house this time, and they shouldn't go against Savannah and uncle as before.

After all, the most important thing now was to get old Sterling's favor back. So they had to rebuild the image of a good grandson and a good granddaughter-in-law.

With this in mind, Valerie forced her anger back, released her cousin's hand, and touched her flat belly with a smile, "Savannah, how could I make the same mistake again? Rest assured. This time, I will ensure the safety of my unborn baby and give grandpa a healthy great-grandson." Her tone was filled with pride and conceit.

Then she turned and left first.

Savannah looked after her with a frown.

She knew what her cousin meant by saying, "how could I make the same mistake again."

Valerie had learned from her mistakes. Instead of behaving recklessly, she would act with caution this time. All she did was to give birth to the baby safely and hold the position of old Sterling's granddaughter-in-law in this family.

After a long time, Savannah took a deep breath and went back to the villa.

***

It was getting dark.

Before Devin and Valerie left, old Sterling personally went downstairs to see the couple off and asked the driver to drive them home. He told Devin to be watchful on the way and asked Valerie to be careful not to catch cold at night.

All the people present could see how much old Sterling cared about the baby in Valerie.

Savannah sent old Sterling back to his room before she returned to the study next door. As soon as she pushed the door open, she saw the familiar figure lying on her little bed.

Putting both hands behind his head, Dylan laid there thinking about something with half-closed eyes. Because the bed was too small, his long legs could not fit into it.

He just changed a white household shirt after a bath, and the top two buttons untied, showing off his fine and classic neck. The sexy line of his chest muscle under the shirt made Savannah more breathless.

"Why are you here again?" she gasped.

She recalled what happened that day in the study with him... and she had been nervous for several days, afraid that old Sterling would laugh at her if he saw the clue.

"I can't sleep." Dylan cocked his head slightly.

Savannah pursed her lips. So he came here to make her wakeful together?

The room became quiet.

"Your father seemed to have talked with Devin for a long time in the room." Afraid that Dylan would do something to her to kill the night, Savannah started a topic.

"Dad provided Rosemount Villa for them to live in. To prevent any accident before the birth of Valerie's baby, dad also sent some experienced maids there to look after them," said Dylan with a sarcastic smile.

Rosemount Villa, worth over ten million, was one of the best houses in the Sterling's name and not far away from the Sterling's house. The villa was only ten minutes to the best hospital in town, and the front of the house looked like a beautiful artificial lake. The air there was fresh and clean; the environment was quiet and peaceful. What's more, old Sterling specially equipped the villa with several bodyguards, a driver, and lots of servants.

Old Sterling gave such a luxurious house to Valerie and Devin, and it was enough to show that he was very earnest about Valerie's pregnancy and attached great importance to the baby in Valerie.

Dylan wasn't upset about Devin living in Rosemount Villa, of course.

However --

Since today his father could give Rosemount Villa to Devin to live in, he might give Devin's unborn child a 10% stake of the group again tomorrow. That was, in the future, Devin might be given more authority.
