Chapter 62: Crushed Ego
Before the first light of dawn graced the horizon, Cammy rose from the bed, preparing herself for the big event at Dylan’s school. She had resolved to arrive early, not only to help Dylan dress up but also to have a word with Ric. She was well aware that he would be there, accompanied by his staff, and this seemed like the perfect opportunity to speak with him privately.
The previous day, Cammy had opened the paper bag that Eve had handed her. Inside, she found a stunning gift from Ric: a branded yellow summer dress paired with elegant white sandals. However, Cammy had already made up her mind to wear the dress Greg had given her.
Although she couldn’t deny the truth in what Greg had said the day before—that Ric had been the one to strike first—Cammy also believed there was more to the story. Deep down, she was convinced that Ric wouldn’t have acted so aggressively unless Greg had provoked him in some way.
But before taking any action or speaking to Greg, she needed to confront Ric and sort out her feelings and doubts once and for all.
Once she was ready, Cammy wasted no time heading directly to Dylan’s dormitory. The moment she arrived, she felt a sense of relief and satisfaction, knowing she had made the right choice to come early.
The dormitory grounds were bustling with activity and the sight of parents and students bonding over last-minute preparations filled the air with warmth and excitement.
Scanning the area, Cammy soon spotted Dylan on the field, engaging in warm-up exercises alongside his classmates. Her heart swelled with pride as she watched him, his movements energetic and purposeful, his face lit with enthusiasm.
"Mommy!" Dylan’s cheerful voice rang out as he spotted her, his hand waving enthusiastically in the air while he jogged across the field.
Cammy couldn’t help but beam in response, waving back with an equally wide smile. Seeing Dylan so happy and thriving in his boarding school environment reaffirmed her confidence in the decisions she had made for him. He appeared not just content but truly at home in this setting, and that knowledge brought her a deep sense of peace.
