The Hiltons welcomed Savannah with open arms in the living room.

"It's so good to see you, Uncle Carlos, Aunt Debbie, Terilynn and Matthew!" she greeted them politely.

Carlos smiled and nodded his head. Debbie walked up to her, stroked her hair and said, "Hi, darling. I'm so happy that you could be here for

Evelyn's birthday party."

Terilynn greeted her with a hug.

"Welcome to our home, Savannah."

"Welcome," said Matthew.

Savannah was moved to joy by their hospitality.

"Thank you! I am honored to be here." Indeed, it was her honor to have such a good friend like Evelyn in her life.

“Don't be so formal with us. Come, we were just about to have dinner."

Debbie took her to the dinner table.

Only then did Savannah see Calvert and Joshua engaged in a light conversation. Evelyn got their attention and said, “Savannah, this is

Joshua Martin, the youngest son of the mayor. Joshua, this is my good friend, Savannah Todd."

Joshua stood up and greeted her politely, "Hello, nice to meet you,

Savannah!"

“Nice to meet you too, Joshua." Savannah gave him a smile.

When it was her turn to introduce Calvert, Evelyn paused for a while and simply said, “Savannah, this is Calvert Sanchez. Calvert, this is my good friend, Savannah Todd."

Savannah knew that Calvert was Evelyn's ex-boyfriend, but she did not know the whole story. Seeing him at her birthday party, she mistakenly thought that they were back together.

“Oh, I saw his pictures on the

Internet. He is very handsome! Calvert, please be nice to Evelyn."

Calvert let out a slight cough, not knowing how to respond to that statement. Then, he simply said, "Thank you. Don't worry. I'll be nice to her.”

Evelyn's lips twitched but she didn't respond. Fortunately, Debbie came to the rescue and said, “Dinner is about to begin. Matthew, please go upstairs and ask your grandma to come down.”

"Okay," replied Matthew before he walked up the stairs.

Everyone was finally seated at the dinner table, ready to begin, when suddenly, the doorbell rang. Looking at each other in confusion, everyone but Debbie wondered who could it be as all the expected guests were already there.

Debbie stood up excitedly and said, “By the way, I invited a special guest. I think that's him. I'll open the door."
