Chapter 93: Twisted Together
"Mom..."
Cammy’s face drained of color as she watched her mother approaching—with Duncan right beside her.
But she wasn’t the only one caught off guard. Monica came to an abrupt stop, her gaze narrowing in surprise as Greg casually draped an arm around Cammy’s shoulders and pulled her close.
Cammy’s body tensed. She had no idea how to react or what to do next.
Greg, however, was already steps ahead. He had done his homework. He knew exactly who Monica was and had anticipated this moment. Without hesitation, he took a few confident strides toward them, gently guiding Cammy along with him.
Closing the gap, he extended his hand toward Monica with a composed, almost charming smile.
"What a lovely day to finally meet you. I’m Gregory Cross—Cammy’s boyfriend."
Greg’s introduction sent shock rippling across Monica’s face. Her mouth parted slightly, betraying her surprise, but she quickly schooled her expression back into one of composed elegance. Ever the poised woman, she extended her hand to him, though there was a flicker of curiosity in her eyes.
Greg accepted it smoothly, lifting her hand just slightly as he inclined his head in a small, courteous bow. His smile was effortless, charismatic, and unwavering as he met her gaze.
"I must say, you look even more stunning in person," he remarked, his voice warm yet deliberate. "If I hadn’t seen your photos before, I would have mistaken you for Cammy’s sister... or perhaps her cousin."
Just as he had anticipated, Monica’s features softened at his flattery. A faint blush colored her cheeks, and she let out a delicate, pleased chuckle, covering her mouth in a way that exuded both amusement and vanity.
