Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

She startled, "Dylan... "

Her breathy voice made Dylan even wanting. His hands moved to her hips and then cupped her, but before he took off her underwear, his gaze fell on her belly…

A fleeting thought came to him, like cold water, colding all his desire.

Now the fetus in her was not stable, and the doctor said they\'d better not have sex in the first three months.

Dylan tried hard to repress his need. He grasped her head and helped her sit up, whispering in her red ear, "Be good. I know you like Judy, but Judy is not professional after all. Sarah is the best nurse in LA. Everything she does now is for your smooth production. Hold it for the baby. At most, I\'ll ask her to be less strict and let you relax once in a while."

Savannah knew this had been Dylan\'s biggest concession. If she continued to pester him, it would make him suspicious.

She finally nodded and gently pushed him, "I\'m tired, I want to sleep."

Dylan was reluctant to let go of her, "Sleep in my arms with the baby." He murmured in a husky voice.

Her heart softened, and she gave up struggling without any reason, laying in his arms quietly.

"Baby, be good, don\'t give trouble to your mother." He said softly as he stroked her belly.

She peeked at him. The subdued orange light gave his heavenly cold face a lovely gloss, which softened him a little.

For a moment, Savannah felt as if he and she, and the baby in her were really a family.

Maybe Dylan loved this baby, and he wanted the baby not to fight for power and wealth?

"Ring -"

The phone started ringing, breaking the temporary quiet and peace.

Dylan reached out his long arm for the phone, frowning slightly when he saw the caller on the screen.

Savannah was about to stand up but was held back in his arms.

He answered it.

Sitting in his arms, Savannah could clearly hear the voice of old Sterling through the phone, "Dylan, how\'s Savannah? I heard she was in the hospital for two days."

Savannah did not expect that old Sterling would care about her so much. She felt warm in her heart and was about to say something when Dylan covered her mouth so that she could only curl up in his arms like a little cat.

"Nothing." Dylan simply replied.

"Really? Then why was she hospitalized?"

"Hypoglycemia. She was out of the hospital days ago." Dylan said dryly.

Savannah stunned. A strange feeling came over her.

He made her have a child for him to fight power with Devin, didn\'t he? That was to say, her pregnancy should be good news for old Sterling.

But why... he hid it?

Well. She was not Dylan\'s legitimate wife at all. He wanted her baby, not her. That was why he kept her pregnancy a secret!

Ten months later, he could simply announce that he had a baby. It didn\'t matter who the mother was.

The thought brought a wry smile to her face.

She just incredibly softhearted, thinking that they were a family...

Savannah, you flattered yourself.

Don\'t be so soft.

Over the phone, old Sterling heard that his son didn\'t want to talk much about it. He thought he was still angry at him for driving Savannah away, but before he could say more, Dylan said impatiently, "Anything else?"

Old Sterling sighed and said no more.

Dylan hung up the phone, only to find that Savannah was in a daze. He grasped her chin, tipping her little face back, "What\'s up?"

"Nothing..." She picked herself up, lifted from his arms, and stood up. "I\'m really tired."

Dylan didn\'t want her to leave. She smelled so good, and her body was so warm and soft. But he also knew that she must be tired after the prenatal check-up.

According to her attitude, it seemed that she did not resist the pregnancy and should have accepted it.

Finally, he repressed the desire inside him, "it comes to the final phase of the tallest building project, and I\'m a little busy these days. I may not be able to come here every day." He said softly.

"Okay. You don\'t need to come; business is more important." Savannah said sweetly.

"Go and rest." Dylan gently patted her head.

She turned around and left the study. As she walked out of the door, she sighed with relief. Pregnancy isn\'t so bad, she thought, if it were not for her pregnancy, he wouldn\'t have let her go so easily,

Glancing back at his study, she hastened her steps lest he should change his idea.

***

After that evening, Dylan didn\'t come for several days because he was busy with the project.

He did what he had promised. Obviously, Sarah was a little less strict with her than she used to be. Savannah could also see a look of awe in Sarah\'s eyes. Dylan should have ordered her something.

A few days before the regular pregnancy check-up, Savannah contacted a clinic online and made an appointment for an abortion.

Now she almost had no opportunity to go out at all, and she could only take action on the same day on the pregnancy check-up.

On this day, Savannah got up a little earlier than usual. She was surfing Twitter absent-mindedly as she considered her plan in the living room, waiting for the driver.

The thought of sneaking out for abortion made her nervous.

Just then, a servant came in with a familiar figure, "Miss Schultz, Butler Cooper is coming."

Savannah stood up, surprised, "Cooper, why are you here early in the morning?"

Cooper smiled and said, "after you fainted that day, old Sterling was afraid that you might have some health problem. He called Mr. Sterling many times but received no clear reply. So, he asked me to come to Beverly Hills to see you, then I can report back to him."
