Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Cooper knew that old Sterling was still worried about the marriage between Miss Schultz and Dylan. Miss Schultz's belly was getting bigger day by day, did she have to give birth to this child as an unmarried woman?

"I've called Garwood. He said Dylan would come to dinner tonight as you asked, sir. Maybe you can talk to him later." Cooper said.

There's nothing else he could do. Old Sterling nodded and said nothing.

Just after the financial news broadcast, there was a noise at the door. The servants greeted Dylan respectfully as he walked in.

Seeing Dylan come, Cooper asked the maid to serve the meal and then told Emma to bring Savannah down the stairs for dinner.

Just as Dylan sat down, old Sterling said, "Dylan, what do you think about the matter we discussed last time? Savannah's belly is growing bigger and bigger, and it cannot be covered up soon. Do you really want my dear grandson to be born as an illegitimate child? That's ridiculous! Stuff like illegitimate children never prevails with our family! This time I'm not discussing it with you. I don't care whether you agree or not. I'll let someone arrange your wedding in a month!"

Before Dylan spoke, Savannah's voice came up the stairs, "I'm sorry, sir, but I don't want to get married."

Dylan's eyes deepened when he heard this. He looked up and saw Savannah walking down the stairs slowly in a loose chiffon maternity dress.

He hadn't seen her for several days. She looked thinner, and her small face was not as big as his hand.

"Savannah, what do you mean?" asked old Sterling in surprise.

Savannah came up to the father and the son. She took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry, sir, but I won't."

Dylan's face darkened.

"Why?" old Sterling never expected that Savannah did not want to get married. "Did Dylan force you to say that?" Then he asked, shooting a sharp look at Dylan.

"No, Dylan didn't force me," Savannah said, "I don't want to get married."

"There must be a reason! You're pregnant! What do you want if not marriage?" Old Sterling was worried.

The reason... The reason was that she didn't want to take the place he reserved for another girl.

What's more, she did not want to be taken as a substitute by her future husband, and she could not bear her man to think of another girl when she called her babe.

She bit her lip, trying to keep her voice calm. "Our feelings are not good enough for marriage. It doesn't mean we have to get married when I'm pregnant."

Our feelings are not good enough for marriage. Dylan frowned and swallowed what he had planned to say.

Old Sterling was speechless. He was really unable to understand the thinking mode of young people now.

They didn't have to get married when she got pregnant? Was it a great honor to be an unmarried mother?

Savannah did not look like that kind of open-minded person. She must have her own troubles. Before he could ask more, Savannah had already said apologetically, "Sir, please don't push me."

What else could old Sterling say now? He had thought that Dylan was the hardest one to persuade, but Savannah, who was always nice and obedient, suddenly became stubborn too. Old Sterling was so infuriated that he lost all appetite for dinner. He stood up angrily and went upstairs.

Cooper followed him hurriedly.

Savannah had no appetite to eat. She turned around and wanted to go upstairs when Dylan cried behind her, "stop!"

She stopped but did not look back.

"Get out." Dylan turned to the servants and shouted.

Emma left with other servants immediately. There was only silence in the living room.

Savannah stood quietly with her back to him. Dylan stepped forward and stood in front of her, staring at her. "Do you mean by what you said just now?"

Savannah did not hesitate and nodded.

His gaze turned even colder. "You're pregnant. Who do you want to marry if not me? Or you still don't want the baby?"

She put her hand on her belly and said, "don't worry, since I've promised you, I'll not go back on my words. I'll give birth to the baby for you. But I'm not getting married. My reason has just been stated."

Then, bypassing him, she went straight upstairs.

From behind came Dylan's cold and sullen voice, "our feelings are not good enough for marriage? Who do you want to marry then? Kevin?"

She made no reply, walking on slowly.

"You still want to get back together with Kevin, right?" Dylan shouted, his shrill, cold voice wandering around the huge living room.

She had said that there was no special feeling between Kevin and her, and they were just brother and sister... Oh, all lies.

How could feelings between man and woman be pure friendship?

Kevin, the man who was one step ahead of him in her life, held a more important position in her heart.

She didn't want to get married because of Kevin.

There was no other reason for her to refuse the Sterling family's marriage.

Savannah bit her lower lip firmly.

It was him who refused to marry her first, but now he blamed her for that...

She knew he was in a rage now, not because he loved her and wanted to marry her, but simply because he could not afford to lose to another man.

How could a proud and conceited man like Dylan allow himself to be rejected by a woman?

He could refuse anyone, but no one should refuse him.

Savannah stopped, slowly curled her fingers into her palm, and squeezed her hand. In spite of the sadness in her heart, she said, "yeah, I want Kevin. I'm really happy with him. It's completely wrong to start with you, isn't it? So let me go after I give birth to the baby."

If he could let her go instead of leaving her as a substitute, she didn't care what he thought of her.

Dylan's face was more than sullen. For a moment, Savannah felt that he wanted to kill her, or kill Kevin…

All of a sudden, Dylan moved. He could not remain calm any longer. He strode to her and put his arms around her waist, mercilessly pulling her into his hot arms. Imprisoning her in his arms, Dylan put his hand under her chin and tipped her head back, his voice cold as snow, "let you go? In your dream! Don't forget our agreement. Do you want to leave? Okay, wait until I'm tired of you. Before that, you have to stay at my side obediently. Give birth to my kids one after another!
