Swapping a Broken Heart for a New Start novel Chapter 1157

Under the warm, golden glow of the lamp, she looked absolutely stunning. Her eyes were soft and flirtatious, her skin fair and smooth like sweet cream, so tempting it was almost impossible to look away.

Dennis watched her with eyes full of longing and heat. Usually, he was the kind of guy who kept his cool no matter what, but when it came to her, all that control just disappeared.

Their night together was intense, their connection so deep it felt like their souls were tangled together. It wasn’t until the middle of the night that things finally calmed down.

He scooped her up and carried her to the bathroom to help her clean up. By the time she was dressed and back in his arms, she was so tired that she couldn’t stop yawning. Her eyes were still shining with sleep, looking a little misty. When she glanced at Dennis, there was a hint of blame and a pout on her lips.

“I’m exhausted. I just want to sleep. This is all your fault,” she grumbled.

He knew they had to go out, but still couldn’t resist teasing her. Dennis just laughed, gave her a gentle kiss, and said, “Okay, it’s my fault. You’re tired, so get some rest. I’ll wake you when we get there.”

Camila gave him a playful slap and didn’t argue. She adjusted herself in his arms, got comfortable, and drifted right off to sleep.

Dennis wrapped her in a thick coat, then carried her downstairs and out to the car. He was careful with every step, making sure she was taken care of the whole way. Camila slept so soundly, it was like she trusted him with every part of herself.

To Dennis, she was a treasure, something precious and rare, and he made sure to hold her close as they arrived at the research institute.

When they walked in, Old Mr. Williams, Jarvis Peters, Kyle Garcia, and a few others were already waiting.

“Camila, we’re here,” Dennis said quietly, trying to wake her up.

But Camila was still deep in sleep. The voices around her barely registered, and she just mumbled, “Don’t wanna get up…” before nuzzling closer into Dennis’s arms, acting even more stubborn than their daughter sometimes did.

Old Mr. Williams couldn’t help but chuckle at the scene. He pointed at Dennis and teased, “Look at you. You spoil her too much. What’s she going to do now?”

Jarvis and Kyle just watched with amused smiles.

Dennis didn’t back down. “My wife deserves to be spoiled. If she acts like this, it just means she trusts me.”

Old Mr. Williams shook his head, but he was clearly happy with how Dennis treated Camila. There was pride in his eyes even as he pretended to scold.

Not wanting to hold everyone up, Dennis kept coaxing Camila until finally, after a while, she blinked awake. She looked around the room, still groggy, and then noticed all the familiar faces. It took her a couple of seconds to remember where she was, and when it hit her, she jumped in surprise, suddenly wide awake.

“Camila really knows how to sleep,” Jarvis said, barely holding back a laugh.
