Finally, Dylan said dryly, "getting the diploma is a big deal. How can you not let your mom go?"
Savannah felt frustrated and disappointed for a moment, but she kept her spirits up and patted Kaiden's head as if nothing happened.
"I will come back as soon as possible after the thesis defense, and I will bring you some gifts."
Then she turned to old Sterling, "Sir, I'm sorry, but I must hurry, I have to make some preparations first."
With that, she went upstairs.
Old Sterling looked at Savannah's back and frowned at Dylan. He was about to say something when Dylan put down the silverware and stood up.
"Enjoy your food," he sounded a little tired. Then he left the table too.
The frown on old Sterling's face was deepening to a scowl. It was clear that his son still had feelings for Savannah, though he didn't remember her at the moment.
Unfortunately, he didn't seem to understand his own mind.
