The parents and the children sighed in relief after hearing what Mason said.
Some parents even began praising him, encouraging their own kids to learn from his kindness.
After another ten minutes of pleasantries, they finally left, and the house fell silent again.
Damon turned to Nyla. "Are you satisfied with how this was handled?"
Nyla glanced at him. "That's not a question for me. You should be asking Buddy. If he's satisfied, then I'm satisfied."
Mason looked up at Damon and smiled. "Thank you, Daddy. I'm very happy with the outcome."
"As long as you're happy. If anyone at school bullies you again, you need to tell Mommy and Daddy right away. Let us handle it, okay?" Damon reminded him.
Mason nodded seriously. "I know, Daddy."
This time, he had intentionally acted upset in front of his parents, ensuring they noticed something was wrong so they would discover he was being bullied.
Thinking about it, he felt a little sneaky.
Then again, they had bullied him first, so it seemed only fair.
With Mason's issue resolved, Damon shifted his focus to preparing for his and Nyla's wedding.
He had already made up his mind. In just two weeks, when the weather was warm and before Nyla's pregnancy began to show, they would hold the wedding. Mason would be their flower boy.
…
As Monday rolled around, Damon's schedule filled up again.
Originally, he had wanted an island wedding, but with Nyla’s pregnancy, a long flight would be too exhausting. Harrison's health also wasn't the best, so traveling far wasn't an option.
Instead, he booked the largest hotel in Saintornia for the ceremony.
Two weeks before the wedding, he reserved the entire hotel and worked closely with the wedding planners to finalize every detail.
…
Damon walked past the lobby and up to the second-floor dressing room.
In the center of the room, a strapless wedding gown was displayed on a mannequin. Adorned with 9,999 diamonds, the dress sparkled under the lights like a shimmering galaxy.
He could already picture Nyla wearing it tomorrow, looking absolutely breathtaking.
After everything they had been through, he was finally going to marry her. He was finally going to show the world how much he loved her.
Satisfied that everything was on track, Damon left the hotel and headed to work.
That afternoon, Damon called Valarie, asking her to accompany Nyla to the venue the next day.
When Valarie heard his plans, she couldn't help but sigh. "Mr. Sumner, I used to think you were just a cold, boring businessman. But today, I realize I completely misjudged you."
When it came to creating romantic surprises, Damon was miles ahead of Brandon.
