Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Whispers passed along, and the students around were staring at Chiara and then at Savannah as if the latter was a savior.

"All right, just let her go," Savannah said to the bodyguards.

The bodyguards picked up Chiara and headed out, leaving Savannah to review her lessons.

The library was quiet again, and the students all went back to their seats and went on studying.

"Savannah, you're awesome! You brought that female rascal under control! Did you notice? Those guys now worship every hair on your head. They must be guessing who you are, and how can you have so many bodyguards!" Elisa leaned in and whispered.

Savannah smiled helplessly.

She also noticed the curious and respectful looks from her classmates.

She had never been in the spotlight like she was today during her last three years studying here. It was a little strange to become the focus of everyone's attention.

After all, she had no tendency to seek the limelight.

But even if Savannah wanted to keep a low profile, what happened at the library spread throughout the school in less than two hours.

In the end, many students knew that an American girl in the design department had several bodyguards followed her, and she beat Chiara. They even came to the library to sneak a peek at Savannah.

Later, several students who had been badly bullied by Chiara came to Savannah to thank her. A girl even bought her a cake as a gift, which made Savannah surprised and amused. In the late afternoon, more and more students gathered around Savannah, and she had to leave with Elisa.

Just as she walked out of the library, her cell phone rang.

"Finished?" There came a familiar low and attractive voice.

Elisa made a face at Savannah, indicating that she would wait for her ahead so that she could take her time and talk to Mr. Sterling.

Savannah paused and realized that Dylan had waited for her to finish her study. For fear of disturbing her, he didn't call her until she left the library.

"Thank you for making me a star," Savannah smiled helplessly. "After all the admiring looks and visits, I didn't finish a page. I'm going back to the dormitory with Elisa, and then I'll continue with my books."

Dylan had listened to the bodyguard to report what happened in the library today. Since the bodyguards had solved the matter and the little woman wasn't bullied, he didn't mention it.

"It's time for dinner. Why not come to eat with me first?" He asked casually.

Savannah, however, knew that it would be hard to come back tonight if she agreed to go out with him for dinner... He had shown his impatience and desire for her when he came that night. If not for Elisa's sudden appearance, the man would have had her in the open air! What's more, he hadn't seen her for two days, and she didn't think he would let her go easily tonight after he came to Italy, especially for her…

"Well," She blushed at some thought and immediately refused his invitation. "I have my last thesis defense tomorrow, so let's eat together later."

She didn't want to attend the defenses tomorrow morning with an aching body or not being able to get up...

"Okay, then I'll ask the hotel to prepare your supper and send someone to deliver it to you," Dylan sounded disappointed.

"All right, but..."

"What?" He frowned. The little woman wasn't going to refuse him again, was she?

"Can I have one more? I want to share it with Elisa." Savannah said.

"Sure," Dylan smiled. "I'll have one more delivered."

Seeing that Savannah hung up, Elisa came over and winked.

"How come you hung up after just a few words? He asked you out to dinner, didn't he?"

"I'm not going out. He'll send someone to deliver us dinner later." Savannah laughed.

Elisa's face lit up as she heard there was a delicious free dinner.

"Why didn't you go out to have dinner with him? Didn't you two get back together? Why are you striking a pose after he came to Italy for you?" Elisa joked and said, "Oh, I see. You must be afraid that you'll be eaten by him after eating with him, right? Don't worry, I'll leave the door unlocked for you no matter how late you get back. In case you two loose track of time after playing all night, I'll call you two hours before the oral defense tomorrow morning. I won't let you be late."

Savannah squeezed Elisa's arm playfully. Though Elisa had little experience in love, she was good at guessing people's minds.

"Not only for that…" Savannah whispered.

"Do you have any concerns about that, Mr. Sterling? I can see that you have some reservations about him after he came to Italy, even though you are touched." Elisa rubbed her chin meditatively.

Savannah didn't expect her mind to be so delicate.

"Well," she spoke her mind to Elisa, "I told you that he had taken a new drug because of his illness and lost his memory. He forgot many people and things, and he still doesn't remember me."

"So? What does it matter? He's very nice to you and doting on you now, isn't that enough?" Elisa raised her brows.

"Will you fall in love with someone you just met? And even want to marry him? At least I can't. So I'm a little worried..." Savannah lowered her eyes.

"I see, you're afraid that he's nice to you not for true love, but out of responsibility?" Elisa understood.

Savannah nodded.

"Hmm. In fact, he proposed to me not long before. At that time, he said, since I was his woman and had given birth to a child for him, it's only a matter of time before we get married. I refused because I don't want such a marriage. He proposed not because of love but because of our past relationship. That's not what I want. Even though he came to Italy for me, I'm still not sure if he really loves me, cares about me, and wants to marry me, or he just did that under pressure or responsibility, or just on impulse."

Elisa nodded, understanding her concern.

"Why didn't you just ask him? Ask him for an answer. Maybe he fell in love with you again after he knew you again. When someone truly loves, even if he lost his memories, the feelings he has for that person will always be there. It's impossible to fade away. Perhaps that's Mr. Sterling's situation?"
