Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Devin would win old Sterling's favor back with this baby. Dylan, however, might have to cut apart his power as the CEO with Devin.

Savannah looked into Dylan's gloomy dark eyes, and an involuntary shiver ran down her spine. It was the calm that preceded the storm.

"Your father's kindness to them now is only for the sake of the unborn grandchild," Savannah tried to comfort him, walking to him, "don't worry, no one can replace you in terms of your ability, including Devin, and I'm sure old Sterling will never let Devin promote over you."

Dylan stood up, put his hand under her chin, and tipped her head back, staring down at her, "it seems that you've not yet understood the importance of the offspring in my father's mind. Though the Sterlings have a large fortune, we're not a large family. In his mind, nothing is more important than carrying the family on. Therefore, if Devin really gives him a great-grandson, it's possible for him to give Devin the whole Sterling Group as a reward."

Up to now, the Sterling family's property was just a simple number for old Sterling, and earning hundreds of billions was not as important as multiplying the descendants.

Savannah held her breath as she felt his words.

Previously, she would never believe that Devin could compete with Dylan for the group or the family property.

After all, Dylan was old Sterling's legitimate son, and Devin's family name was not Sterling.

No matter how silly old Sterling might be, it was impossible for him to give the company to his daughter's son instead of his own son.

However, she learned that Dylan had a genetic disease, and Devin was the only healthy child in the Sterling family now.

In that sense, it's really possible that old Sterling would be inclined to Devin.

After all, it was risky to hand the whole family over to the son with inherited defects.

The Sterling group might sink into chaos if Dylan got sick one day!

With the baby in Valerie, Devin stood a better chance now. Savannah believed that Devin would even like to give his son Sterling's name...

"What will you do then? Is there any way to stop Devin?" asked Savannah, who was a little anxious for Dylan.

Dylan let his gaze wander thoughtfully over her face for a moment, then replied with a ghost of a smile, "There is a way, but you've refused."

Savannah gasped for a moment and immediately realized what he meant.

He wanted a baby. He asked her to have a baby with him.

As long as Dylan had his own children, of course, old Sterling would give priority to his own son!

In this way, Dylan's authority and position in the Sterling Group would be perfectly secure.

Dylan was still thinking about making her pregnant...

"... What else can you suggest?" Savannah stammered as she turned her head away.

Seeing her reaction, Dylan's smile faded, and his eyes darkened.

The little woman was still reluctant to have children for him.

He stood close to her, urging her to move over to the wall. Pinning her against the wall with his strong body, he gazed down at her, scowling, "Is it so painful for you to have my baby?"

Savannah's heart was pounding under his burning eyes. She didn't know why she felt faint and weak—maybe it was because his heat suffocated her—she felt dizzy and almost slipped in his arms. Fortunately, she could reluctantly support herself against the wall.

"Dylan, we've talked about this. I really don't want to have children now. You also promised that you wouldn't force me. You're a man, and you won't go back on your words, will you?" Ventured Savannah.

Dylan grunted in discontent, so, if he asked her again to have children for him, he's not a man?

"I can prove I'm a real man in another way," he whispered in her ear and gently grazed her earlobe with his teeth.

Then he took both straps of her pajamas, slowly pulled them down her arms, brushing her skin with his fingers and the tip of his thumbnails as he slid her pajamas off. He stood back to examine her, his expression full of desire.

Savannah was breathless, and she felt faint by his touch. When he was about to take off her bra, a sudden feeling of sickness came to her, and she almost fell! Luckily, Dylan was able to hold her in his naked arms in time.

"What's up?" His brows furrowed, repressing the sexual desire in him.

"Dylan... I feel dizzy, I can't today..." Not only a little dizzy, but she also felt sick in her stomach.

Was it because she had dinner with Devin and Valerie tonight and got indigestion?

However, Dylan didn't think so. His face darkened momentarily. Did this little woman try to avoid sex with him by pretending sickness? "I'll call a family doctor."

"No. I feel better now." Savannah didn't lie. This kind of sick feeling was not very strong, and it came occasionally. She really felt better again now.

For some time, Dylan gazed at her, then turned around and left the study, slamming the door behind him.

Savannah was relieved, though she knew Dylan was unhappy.

He might also suspect that she had affected her illness in order to avoid having sex.

But even if he wasn't happy, she couldn't soften her attitude.

Although she didn't hate him, her impression of him seemed to be much better... she didn't think she was willing to have children for him.

How could that be?!

She would leave him sooner or later. Such a man like him was impossible to belong to her for a lifetime.

***

After Valerie's pregnancy was known to the Sterling family, old Sterling's health and spirit became better and better day by day.

Dr. Joe came to the house to see him again. He said that old Sterling could stop the medication, and he just needed a good mood and enough rest now.

Dylan had planned to move out of the Sterling's house and return to Beverly Hills with Savannah, but old Sterling insisted that he didn't feel well and asked them to stay longer. On the one hand, he had been used to Savannah's company; on the other hand, Dylan rarely went back to the house to see him, and he was really lonely without them.

Dylan knew that his father was just putting on a show, but he didn't say anything this time. He just agreed to stay with Savannah for a few more days here.
