Chapter 343: Helicopter
For the record, Cassandra Haven would have liked it noted that she was not a helicopter mom.
She did not hover about while her son tried to live his best life.
All that she did was make sure that he was safe.
And that he was happy, that was it. She was not an overbearing mother. She was just a woman who’d had to raise her son as a single mom, while running a huge company. It had not been an easy task. But as difficult as raising him alone had been. She had managed to raise a strong, independent young man.
But even now that Derek was a grown man who could take care of himself. Cassandra was having trouble just letting go of all of the control that she’d had. Especially when it came to keeping an eye on him. After the whole debacle where she had made the monumental mistake, of breaking him and Emily up. Cassandra had realized that she needed to loosen the reins a bit, otherwise she would lose her son for good.
And she was trying. She really was. He was an adult now. He no longer needed protection from her. Her son was always managing to get himself out of sticky situations without her help.
The only hovering that Cassandra did when it came to her son now, was through the phone. Either through calling, texting, or using the tracking feature to determine his location from time to time.
He knew about that and he was alright with it. Just so long as she did not abuse the privilege. Being able to track him through his phone was not much. Especially when one considered how much surveillance Cassandra could have had on him given the amount of money and power that she wielded.
But the phone tracking was a lifeline that Cassandra used to calm herself whenever she felt like checking on him without bothering him.
