Chapter 72: My Good Friend
After dinner, Greg led Cammy and Dylan to Dylan’s new room.
"Oh my God! What have you done?!" Cammy exclaimed, her eyes wide with disbelief at the amount of effort Greg had put into the space.
"You don’t like it?" Greg asked, but before Cammy could respond, Dylan chimed in excitedly.
"I love it, Uncle Greg!" Dylan shouted, dashing around the room to explore the toys and decorations waiting for him.
Cammy shook her head, her gaze sweeping over the room. "It looks amazing, and it’s not that I don’t like it—it’s just too much!" she said, still in awe of the thoughtful details.
The bed was positioned in the left corner of the room, with a desk beside it. On the opposite side, various toys were scattered around, and a large round carpet lay in the center. The wallpaper featured a jungle theme—not overly extravagant, but just enough to make a young child excited.
"Is it? I actually planned to put in a treehouse-style bed, where Dylan could sleep on the top bunk with a little play area underneath. I was thinking of adding a rope ladder and a slide. There was also going to be a log-shaped sofa, but since I only had less than forty-eight hours to get everything ready, I’ll add those later," Greg explained.
"Later on? There’s more?" Cammy said, her voice filled with disbelief. "No, Greg, this is already too much. Seeing you prepared this much, how can I say no to this?"
"That’s the goal," Greg grinned. "You know, you can also stay longer so my effort would not go to waste like let’s say until the renovation is done?"
Cammy chuckled knowing what Greg was trying to do. "Don’t push your luck. We’ll stay here until Wednesday morning. Let me help Dylan clean up now. It’s getting late. I also need to inform Ric about this since he will be waiting for us to show the temporary apartment," she added with a smile, clearly overwhelmed by his thoughtfulness.
"Sure, call me if you need everything. I’ll be in my home office once you’re done, so I can show you your room."
