Chapter 485 - 485: I’ll Think About It

"Hello?" She hesitated for a long time before she answered it.

"Savannah," from the end of the line came Kevin's slightly husky voice.

He sounded very strained and sad, and she could almost see how gaunt and dispirited he was.

Kevin used to be elegant and graceful, never like this. He reduced to this all because of her; she was too cruel to let him go back to Italy alone.

But she had to be cruel.

She would explain it to Kevin that she revenges her dead father.

"Yes?" Her tone was indifferent and detached.

"You moved to Green Lake?" asked Kevin; his voice was a little plaintive. He knew Dylan had bought back her house in Green Bay for her. Now that she had moved into it, did it mean she had made up with Dylan?

"I don't need to explain my private affairs to you. We'd better keep our distance for a while and reconsider our relationship."

"I know. You're still mad at me. Don't worry, I won't bother you before you forgive me. I just want to tell you that I'm leaving. I'll fly back to Italy at ten o 'clock on Wednesday morning. Can you come and see me off?" Kevin's voice was pleading.

Savannah bit her lip, on the verge of tears. Finally, she steeled herself and said, "I'll think about it."

Then she hung up the phone.

Holding the phone, she remained motionless for a long time.

She had to be cruel. In fact, Kevin didn't have to go back to Italy alone, since she didn't go with him. But she asked him to leave. She didn't want her revenge plan to involve him.

Perhaps she was so lost in thought that she didn't notice the thoughtful gaze falling on her.

"Who are you talking to?" A man's charming and low voice flew into her ears.

Startled, Savannah loosened her grip, and the phone fell to the ground. She turned around and gasped at Dylan.

"Why are you here?"

Today was his first visit to Green Lake since she moved into the house.

He bent to pick up the phone and handed it to her. "You haven't answered my question."

"I... I..." Savannah knew that there was nothing she could hide from this man. Playing tricks on him would only annoy him. "It's Kevin. He asked me if I lived in Green Lake and said he was going back to Italy."

Dylan's face tightened when he heard Kevin's name but then relaxed. He pulled her into his arms and lay his head on her shoulder.

"It's my turn to answer your question," he murmured.

"Oh?"

"Didn't you ask me why I came? Because I've been thinking about a little cat all day." He breathed against her ear.

She blushed. Was he flirting with her?

"Now that you're back, I have a lot of rules. You're not allowed to contact any man who has an intention on you again." He muttered a threat like a capricious child.

"Hmm," her voice was scarcely audible.

Satisfied, he picked her up and sank down together on the couch, cradling her on his l.a.p. Then he buried his head in her hair, taking a deep breath as if he could draw energy from her.

She was nervous at first, afraid he would take a further step, and even prepared for it.

Since she chose to return to him, she should expect such a day.

Although she had even had a baby with him, that part of memory was still blank for her. The feeling of strangeness towards him still existed, and she felt alarmed when he approached.

Unconsciously, she was so nervous that her palms were sweating. She tensed herself like a cat waiting for battle.

But then she knew she worried too much.

He didn't move on or even make a sound.

Savannah quietly turned her head, only to find that the man had fallen asleep!

How tired he was!

She freed herself from his arms and stood up quietly, trying not to disturb him. Looking back at his sleeping face, she was attracted unconsciously.

Though this man was always masterful and autocratic, he looked like a cuddlesome boy when he was asleep. Looking at his sleeping face, she wanted to feel how his eyes shine in a smile and how his lips move in a kiss. His dark eyebrows sloped downwards in a serious expression, as though he was still bothered by something in his dream.

Why was he so quiet and behaved today? Did something happen?

She turned off the light before she went out, just to see Garwood waiting outside.

"Miss Schultz. Is Mr. Sterling still in your room?" Garwood asked, glancing through the door, and then gave a gentle laugh.

"Oh, well," Savannah replied, a little embarrassed by his smile, "he's asleep. I don't want to disturb him. Let him rest in peace."

Garwood nodded.

She hesitated for a moment and asked curiously, "Garwood. Is something bothering him?"

"Ah? He told you?" Garwood blurted out.

Sure enough, something happened!

"He didn't say anything to me. What's come over him?" Savannah looked at him.

Garwood sighed and whispered about the data theft and the Nordic project.

"How could such an important doc.u.ment be stolen? Did a competitor do it?" Savannah frowned.

Garwood shook his head and took a deep breath. "No. It's old Mrs. Rowe, I'm afraid."

"The old lady wants to force Dylan to be with Charlotte in this way?" Savannah immediately understood, shocked.

Garwood nodded and sighed, "Mr. Sterling's been working on this project for half a year, and we've invested a lot of money and time in it. If we lose the bid, the resources previously committed might have been committed to vain. It would be really a pity."

Savannah's face darkened, but not surprised.

People in the Rowe family would always do anything to achieve their goals.

Years ago, in order to make her mother marry into their family willingly, they killed her father.

Now, not unexpectedly, they threatened Dylan with his company.

Granny Rowe and Charlotte were really unreasonable. What if they got Dylan's promise to marry Charlotte?

Would they be really happy?

Anyway, she would never let them get what they wanted.

"Did Dylan compromise with her? He must be determined to win that bid..." said Savannah tentatively.

"Mr. Sterling hates to be threatened. Don't worry. The Rowe family is not a problem." Garwood said with a slightly sardonic smile. Obviously, he felt nothing but contempt for such dirty means.
