She hoped that Kevin could forgive her indifference to him.
This revenge was between her and the Rowe family. She didn't know what the consequences would be, and she didn't want him to be involved or have any trouble because of her.
So, she had to stay away from him for the moment.
If she succeeded in getting her revenge and the Rowe family got what they deserved, she would explain everything to him and go with him.

Royal Villa
Joanne hung up the phone, sitting on the couch in disbelief.
"Baby, what's the matter? Why don't you rest in your room? You aren't quite well yet. Who are you talking to?" Ethan came downstairs.
"Ethan, it's Savannah!" Joanne woke up and said excitedly, "do you know what she said? She won't leave. She'd like to stay with me!"
"Really? That's great. Will she move in?" Ethan had never seen his wife so happy, and he was also happy for her.
Joanne's smile froze, and she sighed. "I asked her to move and live with me, but she said... After all, she isn't from the Rowe family, so it's inconvenient for her to live here. But she will come to visit me often. That's fine. As long as she's willing to stay, I'm quite satisfied. Ethan, I want to stay in LA and not go back to Chicago for the time being. Is that okay with you?"
"Sure." Ethan nodded. He never let his wife down.
"I should empty a room for Savannah!" Joanne stood up with a bright smile, "though she won't live here, she may come often. Sometimes she has to take a break."
Joanne worked herself excited, and she took her maid upstairs to clean up a room for Savannah.
"Dear, just order the maid if Savannah's room needs anything. Don't work too hard yourself." Ethan looked helplessly at his wife's back.
Meanwhile, Charlotte, at the corner of the stairs, overheard her parents' conversation. She watched Joanne walking upstairs with a glow of joy that made her ten years younger.
Savannah had decided to stay...
A call from her could bring Joanne, who had been lying on the bed for days, to life, and make her parents stay in LA, and now everyone in the Rowe family was busy for her.
Why? Savannah had nothing to do with the Rowe family!
Charlotte could almost foresee how Savannah would be welcomed and well-treated by Joanne every time she came. Her father always took her stepmother as the most important one, so his father would also think highly of Savannah. By then, Savannah's status in the Rowe family might be even higher than her!
Why? After stepping in between Dylan and her, now she wanted to take her stepmother away again?
Savannah, why don't you leave and never show up in front of me?

Royal Saint Laurent international kindergarten
There were lots of cars and people in front of the gate of the kindergarten in the evening after school hours, parents, drivers, and nannies coming in and out busily.
Beautiful girls and boys said goodbye to their teachers before they were taken away by their families.
"Mommy!" Kaiden, who was waiting for Louis behind the gate as usual, suddenly opened his eyes wide and cried in pleasant surprise.
A familiar slim figure was looking around at the gate, and she walked towards him at his voice.
Kaiden rushed to the gate immediately.
"Good boy," Savannah picked Kaiden up.
"Why are you here, mommy?" Kaiden asked in excitement.
"To pick you up and take you to dinner." Savannah gave him a kiss on his forehead and smiled.
"Really?
"Of course."
Kaiden cheered and forgot Louis completely. He jumped to the ground, grabbed her hand, and waved at the teacher.
"Let's go, mommy." He walked with jaunty steps out. It was the first time that his mommy picked him up from kindergarten.
"Excuse me!" The teacher, after a pause, walked forward hastily to stop Savannah, "I'm sorry, you can't take Kaiden away."
Savannah looked back, a little embarrassed.
"According to Kaiden's legal guardian, he can only be picked up by designated people from the Sterling family, and I don't think you're included..."
"This is my mom!" Kaiden immediately said.
The teacher stayed for a moment. She had never seen Kaiden's mother since he studied here. His mother was so young? Just like a college student… and she looked familiar.
Oh, yeah. She came here together with Kaiden's father on the last activity day.
Before the teacher could say more, Kaiden waved his fat hand to her impatiently and pulled Savannah out of the gate by the hand.
Savannah stopped a taxi on the side of the road and led Kaiden in.
"Mommy, where are we going? Are you taking me home?"
"You want to go home?" Savannah asked deliberately.
"No!" He wanted to play outside.
"I'd like to take you to dinner first, and then we can go to the amus.e.m.e.nt park. Okay?" Savannah smiled.
"Wonderful!" Kaiden responded joyfully. "Mommy, aren't you going abroad? Why do you have time to take me to play?"
"I'm not leaving," Savannah said quietly.
"Really? Why?" Kaiden's eyes immediately lit up.
"Because I have some important things to do, and I can't leave until it's done." She smiled lightly.
Kaiden was a little confused, but he didn't ask any more questions. So long as mommy stayed!
They got out of the car at a KFC.
"Kaiden, I'm sorry. My salary has almost been used up. I can only treat you to this before I find a new job and earn more money," said Savannah apologetically.
"Wow, I like KFC! Daddy never allows me to eat this," Kaiden didn't mind. Instead, he was very happy.
"That's good," Savannah sighed with relief and led Kaiden in.
After dinner, she took him to the biggest amus.e.m.e.nt park nearby.
The playground at night was full of noise, laughter, and neon lights.
While Kaiden was laughing and waving to Savannah on the merry-go-round, Savannah stood not far away, watching Kaiden silently. The smile gradually faded on her face, and her expression turned a little guilty.
Kaiden had been wondering why she suddenly picked him up from kindergarten and took him to the amus.e.m.e.nt park tonight.
What could she say? Because she wanted to get back to Dylan by her son?
When she came back from the graveyard that day, she thought it over for several days and nights.
She was too powerless to revenge on the Rowe family, and she could only rely on that man.
Only by that, Dylan's power could she succeed.
