"You'd better go back first. I'll ask the driver to take Kaiden back tomorrow morning." Savannah murmured.
"But I want to stay," he moved closer to her.
"My parents' room hasn't been cleaned for a long time, and there's no bed in the study…"
"I don't mind. I can sleep anywhere." His voice was husky.
"Well," Savannah sighed helplessly, looking at the sofa not far from the bed. "You can sleep on the sofa, it's also a foldable sofa bed."
"And you?"
"I'll go to Garcia's room and just spend one night with her."
With that, she turned and walked towards the door, but he took a step after her and grabbed her arm, pulling her to his arms.
"You're my woman, and of course, you should sleep with me." He leaned over and whispered in her ear. Then he raised her in his arms, walking to the sofa, and laid her softly down.
He tilted the backrest and unfolded the seat, and the sofa was transformed into a comfortable bed.
Savannah watched his back as he made his way to the bathroom, breathing a sigh.
After a while, he emerged from the bathroom wet and glistening from the shower, with just a towel around his waist. The towel was hers, a little too small for him.
She glanced at his b.a.r.e c.h.e.s.t, flushing scarlet.
She had already given birth to a son for him, and they had s.e.x days ago, but she still felt shy and thirsty at the sight of his half-n.a.k.e.d fine figure.
Just as he sat down, wiping his hair, she jumped up and headed for the bathroom.
After bathing, Savannah hesitated for a long time in the bathroom before she came out in her nightdress so that she could escape quietly when he fell asleep.
She didn't expect to come out to see him leaning on the sofa, grinning lazily at her.
He rose from the sofa and walked to her, drawing her c.a.r.e.s.singly to the sofa, and turned off the lamp.
The fragrance from her hit him, and he could not help it. He slid his big hand into the hem of her nightdress. D.e.s.i.r.e combusted deep in him.
"No, Kaiden is there," she murmured as she caught his hand to stop him.
The little guy was not far away, sleeping soundly in her bed.
"It's okay. He won't wake up from thunder when he's asleep." He murmured in her, teasing and seducing her.
"No... Later, okay?" She pleaded.
He sighed, knowing she was too shy to do that in the presence of their son.
He should have asked the driver to take the boy back to Beverly Hills. But if Kaiden went back, he wouldn't have a good reason to spend the night with her.
Finally, he restrained his d.e.s.i.r.e and laid a kiss on her neck, locking her in his arms, and closed his eyes.
Forget it. She couldn't open herself if she was too nervous. There was ample time ahead, and he didn't have to push her too hard.
Savannah breathed a sigh of relief.
After making up with him, she knew she had to be prepared to sleep with him, but every time it happened, she would involuntarily shrink.
Perhaps because she still couldn't remember the memories with him, and in her heart, he was only her boss, someone she hadn't known very long.
How could she have s.e.x with a man she didn't know so well? But she couldn't refuse his charm too. His possessive temperament caught her up.
So, she tried to avoid it if she could...but then again she failed to do it.
What's more, she feared getting pregnant again…

Two days later, Joanne asked Savannah out for dinner after work.
The Rowe family had been in a lot of trouble recently. Joanne hadn't seen her daughter for a long time and missed her a lot.
During dinner, Joanne told Savannah that though Granny Rowe was awake, she still couldn't get out of bed. She was in poor spirits and had nightmares every night. Ethan planned to send her back to Chicago tomorrow to recover, and Charlotte would leave together with her grandma.
Savannah listened in silence and asked casually, "what about you and Mr. Rowe? And Lionel, aren't you going back?"
"Ethan's worried about his mother's health and will go back with her and Charlotte, and he'll stay in Chicago until his mother gets better. He knew I don't want to part with you, so he let me stay here. As for Lionel, he has to take care of the local business these days. I heard that the Rowe group's busy working in a cooperative project with the Sterling group, and it's in the critical stage now, so he can't leave."
"The Rowe group has a cooperative project with the Sterling group recently?" Savannah asked quietly.
"Yeah, the Rowe group has connections with the Sterling group for years. Lionel will hold a dinner party for this new collaboration this Saturday and invite Mr. Sterling to come. Thanks to his support and help, the Rowe group quickly gained a foothold in LA. After all, the Sterling group has too much influence in the local business circle. "
Savannah listened, stirring her drink and saying nothing more, but her heart stirred.
After dinner, they chatted for a while and then parted.
As Savannah got off the taxi in Green Bay, she heard Kaiden's happy laugher coming from the courtyard in front of the house.
She came nearer and saw the boy, in a great sweat, playing a ball with Garcia.
"Mommy!" He turned her head and greeted her as he picked up the ball.
"Savannah, you're back." Garcia smiled.
"Why is Kaiden here?" Savannah looked at Garcia and wondered.
Dylan drove Kaiden away this morning. How did the little guy come again?
"The young master wants to stay here for a few days. Mr. Sterling agreed and just asked Louis to bring him here from the kindergarten." Garcia loved the cute boy so much that she was happy to know Kaiden would be staying for a few days.
Savannah gasped. Of course, she was happy to see her son, but obviously, Dylan wanted something else by bringing Kaiden here. He knew she was a little unwilling to spend nights with him. Now Kaiden was here, and he could have a reason to come often...
Did she have to sleep on the sofa with him every day? That would be a very difficult time for her!
"Mommy, are you unhappy to see me?" Kaiden said in a pathetic voice.
"No, how could it be?" Savannah roused herself and went to Kaiden, giving him a kiss on the forehead.
"Why are you home so late, Mommy? Where have you been?" Kaiden looked at her with his big, childlike eyes.
