Savannah glared at Dylan, who was laughing at his son.
Men were all kids!
"There will be a girl who wants to be your bride when you grow up." She pinched Kaiden's round face as she comforted him.
"When is it time to grow up?" Kaiden, in a better mood, asked again.
Savannah looked at Dylan for help.
"At least you should learn to count," Dylan said casually. He just wanted to hurry the boy back to his room so he wouldn't disturb them" How can you please a girl when you don't even know the money or buy anything?"
"What do you mean?" asked Savannah disapprovingly. "Are girls falling in love for money now?"
"Oh, babe, I didn't mean that," Dylan hastened to explain."As a man, if you want to please the one you love, you have to spend money. If you don't even want to spend money on your woman, who would marry you?"
Not far away, Garcia could not help but cover her mouth and laugh.
In the eyes of the servants, Mr. Sterling was very bossy and dominating, but they didn't know the one who had a real high rank in the family was Savannah. Even Mr. Sterling dared not offend his future wife.
Kaiden remained silent for a long time before he finally jumped out of Savannah's arms.
"From now on, give me pocket money instead of toys! I'll save it and buy Lisa a gift!" He made up his mind and said.
Savannah thought for a moment and nodded. It was good to develop the kid's financial awareness from now on. She took out her wallet from her bag and handed Kaiden a $100 bill.
"Your pocket money for this week."
"One hundred dollars?" Kaiden looked at the bill and hesitated.
"Well, what's the matter?"
"Not enough." Kaiden frowned slightly.
Oh, it seemed that he had a concept of money.
"Well, how much do you want?" A hundred dollars was not much for a boy in such a rich family.
Kaiden thought for a while and said, "Um, I want ten dollars. A hundred dollars is too little. It's not enough for me to buy Lisa a present."
"..." Savannah's hand stopped.
A silent smile played on Dylan's face. It looked as if he had had a hard time, not laughing.
"What's wrong? Are ten dollars too much?" Kaiden ventured.
The little guy really didn't know about money!
Trying not to show any sign of derision, she nodded and said, "well, ten dollars."
Then she changed a $10 bill from her wallet and handed it to Kaiden.
Kaiden took the money happily and put it in his pocket before going upstairs.
He needed to think about what to buy for Lisa with so much money.
Looking at the little guy's back, Savannah finally couldn't help laughing.
"This guy doesn't have a concept of money." Dylan shrugged.
No one in the Sterling family had taught Kaiden how to use money. After all, the little boy had led an easy life with everything provided. There wasn't anything he could ask for that he couldn't have. So, he didn't have to know about money at all.
Savannah was considering how to teach the little guy about money when Dylan threw his arms around her waist and pulled her into his chest. They rolled into the sofa together.
"You came back home later than usual," Dylan whispered to her ear as he hugged her.
He didn't come here at this time every day, but he knew when she got home at the usual time.
"Kevin knew I'm getting married, and he came back... I met him downstairs K&G today." Savannah didn't hide it from him.
His hands on her waist tightened, and for a moment, she sensed his nervousness.
"Oh, really?" He tried to feign calmness.
Savannah felt amused and asked deliberately, "nothing else you want to ask? Don't you want to know what he said?"
"No," he said, his eyes twinkling.
Since he had asked her to call Kevin back to their wedding, he should have believed her, or she might laugh at him.
Kevin must come to give her congratulations.
She was going to marry him. What else could he do?
"Good, I should be so much more at my ease." Savannah tilted her head and continued, "I'm going to take him out to dinner tomorrow. I think you won't mind, will you?"
"Have dinner? Just the two of you?" Dylan knitted his brows.
"Or what? How many people do we need for a meal? What's the matter, Mr. Sterling? Don't you trust me?" Savannah asked in an innocent tone.
"How could that be?" Dylan's handsome face slightly fell.
He thought for a while and added, "I'll book a place for your dinner. How about entertaining Kevin in the hotel managed by the Sterling group? He's your guest and had flown all the way from Italy to attend our wedding. I'll go with you then."
Savannah agreed with a straight face as if she didn't know he just didn't want her to meet Kevin alone!
* * *
There was only one week left before the wedding.
This Sunday, as Dylan had just flown to Europe for business, Savannah took Kaiden to visit old Sterling herself.
After dinner, Savannah and Kaiden sat with old Sterling on the sofa chatting. Just then, the phone rang.
Cooper answered it. After a few words, he lost countenance, hung up, and walked quickly to old Sterling.
"What? Who's calling?" asked Old Sterling, frowning.
"It was from the mental home, saying that Miss Sterling is ill. At first, they thought it was a common cold, but it was getting worse. Miss Sterling had a high fever for several days and was sent to the intensive care unit just now. It's said to be…acute pneumonia." Cooper said quickly.
Susan?
Susan was sent to a mental home after she went insane three years ago.
Savannah froze for a moment. She thought she would never hear this name again.
When hearing this, Old Sterling's face changed too.
"How is she now?"
"Miss Sterling received an injection of penicillin for her fever and underwent CT scanned. The doctor said that her condition is special. After all, she's mentally ill and couldn't talk with the doctor normally when she felt uncomfortable. She still needs a few days of observation." Cooper explained.
