He meant to say he was concerned about Savannah for the sake of their families' friendship, and he sent gifts to her only because Savannah was Sterling's woman.
Old Sterling visibly relaxed. He eyed Lionel speculatively for a moment and said, "Your father said that you've been very considerate since you were a child, and sure enough, you are much gentler than Dylan. Lionel, your future wife, must be a lucky woman. I am sure you will cherish the woman that will capture your heart. Oh, you don't have a girlfriend yet, do you? It's hard to believe a bachelor like you have no girlfriend. Would you like me to introduce you to a girl?"
"Thanks for your kindness, uncle, but I don't need it." Lionel chuckled. In order to make sure he had no intention of Savannah, old Sterling even tried to introduce him to a girlfriend.
