Kevin didn't want to discourage her, so he agreed to accompany her back home to participate in the competition.
Though he agreed, he was still worried, afraid that she might meet her old friends, and brought up old memories. He could not imagine what would happen if the Sterling family knew that she was back. So, he rented a small apartment far from the city downtown.
After they came back, he met Dan several times to discuss JK's business. Because he didn't want Dylan to know that he was back, he met Dan privately in his apartment or a café every time.
However, Savannah became a little restless and always went out alone before the competition.
"I know you want to protect me," played Savannah as she shook his hand, "don't worry. It's been three years, and I still don't remember the past, but I'm perfectly well now."
She always felt lost and uncomfortable when they had just arrived in Milan, thinking about how to find the lost memory.
But as time went by, she felt that the lost memory might not be so important.
Now, she had a full life and studied her favorite major in a good college, and Kevin's brother was with her. She should not ask for anything more.
Kevin could never be angry at her. He sighed, "if really bored, you can go out for a walk. But are you sure you want to find a job? You come back to participate in the design competition, and you just need to wait."
Needless to say, the girl went out to look for a job today.
"There's still half a month till the competition begins. The whole process will last more than three months. It's really boring staying at home for such a long time." Savannah made a face and said, "If I can find a part-time job in a design-related field, I can gain more experience, and it'll help in the competition. I've learned design for so many years, and I also want to try my skills."
After a pause, Savannah looked at Kevin and continued, "besides, you've been taking care of me for so long. I should learn to make my way through my own efforts. I can't rely on you forever."
Kevin stared at Savannah, who was determined and more beautiful than she was three years ago. She had grown up.
In the past three years, she had been studying design in Milan, and her academic performance was excellent. It was normal that she wanted to apply what she had learned to practice. At this moment, her confidence should not be discouraged.
Finally, he sighed and said softly, "then promise me, tell me when you find a job. Don't make any decision alone."
"Yes, of course!" Savannah nodded excitedly.
She studied cooking in Italy these years so that they didn't have to always go to the restaurant.
"No. I've some unfinished business with Dan. I'll go first." Kevin smiled gently at Savannah.
He was afraid that Dylan would know his return and find Savannah from his tracks, so he lived a little far away from Savannah's apartment.
These three years in Italy, although they lived in the same villa prepared by Robert, he lived on the first floor, while Savannah lived on the second floor. They kept a certain distance.
Then she went to study design in Istituto Marangoni and lived on campus, returning to the town only once a week.
He did not want to make it a purposeful thing to accompany her abroad. He would not force her to do anything until she agreed to be his wife.
In fact, a few months ago, he had thought about it and wanted to confess his love to her.
Three years, enough, right? It was long enough for her to forget those people and things, enough for her to understand his feelings for her. But then the domestic design competition began, and Savannah asked to return to the USA to participate in the competition. He decided to talk about it with her after they went back to Italy. It had been three years, and he didn't mind waiting for her for another three months.
"Okay, I'll leave some soup for you. Come to have it when you finish your work." Savannah nodded and said sweetly.
Kevin smiled quietly and left.
He had been telling himself that everything would be fine this time. After all, the city was so big, and Savannah would not stay for too long. It was hard for two people to meet in the boundless huge crowd.
But he still had a bad foreboding that something would happen.
He just hoped that the trip back home was peaceful, and Savannah would not meet anyone she shouldn't meet.
After the design competition, he would take her back to Italy as soon as possible.

The tall and imposing office building glowed under the bright sunshine. It's clear colorless glass windows decorated the busy city.
At the moment, the air was tense and quiet in the CEO's office.
Behind the broad mahogany desk, a tall figure sank gracefully into the white leather chair, facing the French window.
"Now she dares to snub our cooperative partner? Cancel her recent advertising endorsements. She should learn her lesson," snapped the man in the chair unpleasantly, and his tone was stern.
"Yes, Mr. Sterling," the advertising executive and another two managers stood in front of the desk with their heads deeply bowed.
The Sterling group bought Zagreb Film three years ago. Abby, one of the signed artists of the film company, was always proud and arrogant.
Since she was popular and could earn money for the company, Dylan didn't bother to care about her behavior. But this time, for a dress, she ignored the company's interest and almost offended the major manufacturer of the company. She went too far.
