Hearing that his dad would visit a grandpa in Chicago, Kaiden clamored to go with him. Old Sterling could not reject his grandson's demand, so he agreed and asked Dylan to take Kaiden with him.
The father and the son set out the next day and flew to Chicago.

Savannah was checking the costumes for the next scene in a makeshift office next to the studio when a crew member ran to her.
"Savannah, come with me."
"What's the matter?" Savannah turned and saw the crew member panting.
"Sandy said her dress for the scene is too tight and makes her look really fat. She wanted to change it," said the crew member helplessly.
Sandy Winfrey was one of the hottest young stars, playing an important female role, Angelina, in Fashion Queen.
Angelina, with a distinct personality, kept competing with the heroine and was quite eye-catching in the play. This role was sure to attract young audiences. Because of this, Sandy reluctantly agreed to take the role.
After all, Sandy became increasingly popular recently, and she meant to take the leading role at first. That was why she always had a grouch and put on the air in the crew. She was even tougher than the leading lady.
Yesterday she complained that the dress for her was not as good as the heroine's, and today she refused to wear the new dress because it was a little tight. It seemed that she was happy to see everyone in the crew busy for her.
Savannah frowned as she followed the crew member to the site.
The director was trying to persuade Sandy to change the dress first. But Sandy was seething, complaining that the dress would affect her image.
Sandy's behavior had obviously affected the shooting progress of the play. A group of people couldn't start work and had to wait.
The director winked at Savannah, signaling her to say something.
"Miss Winfrey, what's wrong with the dress?" Savannah asked softly.
Sandy let out a cold snort and asked her assistant to hand over the dress. Then she threw it on the ground, sneering.
"You are in charge of the styling? I don't know how you made the dress. It makes me look so fat! I want a new one, understand?" She said impolitely.
Savannah took a look at the dress on the ground.
In fact, they had got the measurements of those important roles before preparing clothing for them. In general, the dress would suit her perfectly, but Sandy ate more in the last few days and had a flabby tummy.
This dress fit closely so as to show the shape of the body, so Sandy looked a little fat in the dress.
But Savannah could not say this to Sandy. The more she explained it, the more ashamed and angrier Sandy would be.
"I'll get you a shawl to put on, so you don't look fat," Savannah said.
"A shawl?" Sandy snorted. "Now the audience all have very sharp eyes! If they discuss my bad shape and hate me because of this, can you take care of that?" Sandy was polite to the director just now, but now she showed no respect for the young designer. She looked so impolite and aggressive that she was totally different from the image on the screen.
Savannah bit her mouth, somewhat embarrassed when she was shouted at by another young woman in public. Just at this moment, a man's clear and displeased voice came to them.
"The whole crew and cast have to work overtime because of you, don't you know? Get out of the crew if you don't think the dress fits you!"
Savannah turned and saw a tall slim young man walking to them.
The man was in his early twenties, about 6.1 feet tall. His nearly flaxen hair was slightly spiked, he had thick eyebrows, large eyes, and perfectly groomed skin, making for a classic metrosexual look. He took all the women's breath away easily.
His eyes showed sternness when he scolded Sandy.
The young man was Chris Pattinson.
Chris was an Anglo-German model. He had been very popular in show bis these years and was invited to play the leading role of Fashion Queen this time.
Today was the first time Savannah saw him in the flesh. She had to say that Chris was even more handsome.
Sandy blushed with embarrassment, but she did not dare to say anything.
Chris had a much higher place in the show biz than her. She dared not to refute or offend him. But she still tried to defend herself, murmuring, "The dress really doesn't fit me. It's too small... The stylists are too careless..."
Christ glanced at the dress and then looked at Sandy. "As an actress, you should blame yourself for not able to control your own figure. Miss Winfrey, I don't think you're really ready for the show."
Only a big name like Chris Pattinsoncould say that directly.
Sandy's face flamed with shame. She bit her lip, rushed through the crowd, and left.
Watching Sandy running away, the director was surprised and worried. Of course, he could not blame Chris, but Sandy played an important role! How could they continue shooting without her?
"Mr. Pattinson..." He turned to Christ helplessly.
"Don't worry," Chris was not worried at all. He looked at Savannah for a moment and said, "Here's a ready-made candidate. I don't think she's any worse than an actress. Sandy has not taken too many scenes in the show, so it's no problem to replace them."
The director was stunned. What? Chris didn't plan to get Sandy back but let a fashion designer take the place of Sandy?
"Me?" Savannah was stunned.
"That's right. You." Chris nodded and smiled.
"I'm not an experienced actress...." Savannah was surprised and amused.
Chris took two steps forward, leaning close to her ear. "Olivia said that you used to be everywhere when you endorsed an online game years ago. Don't be shy."
Then he straightened up, looking at the director again. "Director Pal, what do you say?"
"Sure, Mr. Pattinson." The director nodded.
Chris Pattinson was in a position to recommend or dismiss a character, so the director didn't think too much. Anyway, someone had to take Sandy's role, and they had no time for another selection.
After a phone call from the director notifying the company, Savannah joined Fashion Queen as an actress officially.
She had 13 episodes in which she and the heroine were competitors both in love and work. They all lost their hearts to the internationally famous male model played by Chris.
During the lunch break, Savannah called Olivia and joked about taking on the role of Sandy for no reason at all.
"Chris is amazing! He really helps me take care of you! I'll thank him someday!" Olivia giggled.
Olivia and Chris were good friends. They had all been models before they entered show bits, and their personalities clicked.
