Swapping a Broken Heart for a New Start novel Chapter 336

He’s in Harrisburg???

Sandra Taylor’s face went pale, and she practically flung her phone across the room.

…

After leaving the restaurant, Camila Davis got a ride home from Dennis Williams.

When she stepped out of the car, she turned to him and said, “I had a great time today. Thanks for hanging out with Lillian all afternoon, Mr. Williams.”

Lillian piped up from the back seat with her sweet little voice, “Thank you, Uncle!”

Dennis ruffled her hair, smiling. “No need to thank me, kiddo. As long as you had fun… And hey, Lillian, you start school tomorrow, right? We’ll figure out the next check-up some other time.”

“Okay!”

Camila nodded. “We’ll head inside. Drive safe, you guys!”

Lillian waved her tiny hand and followed her mom out of the car.

Just as they were about to leave, Dennis called out, “Wait a sec.”

“Yeah?” Camila turned back, a little confused. “Did you forget something?”

Dennis didn’t answer right away. He just reached over to the passenger seat, grabbed a bag, and handed it to her. “I had Aaron pick this up earlier. Lillian gave me two gifts today—this is a little something in return. And, you know, to celebrate her first day of school.”

Camila couldn’t help but laugh. “You really didn’t have to! First you tell me not to be so formal, and now you’re the one going overboard.”

“It’s nothing fancy, just some candy. Take it,” Dennis said, his voice gentle but firm—like he wasn’t taking no for an answer.

Camila gave in and took the bag.

Dennis just gave him a look, half-smirking. “Oh, you’re the expert now? Eyes on the road, Aaron.”

Aaron grumbled to himself. His idea was solid—why wouldn’t Dennis listen? At this rate, he was gonna be single till the end of time.

He tried not to think about it too much, but just then, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of something outside…

Camila and Lillian, who should’ve been heading into their building, had stopped. There was a man standing there waiting for them.

He looked like he’d come straight out of a GQ photoshoot—tall, sharp suit, expensive shoes, and, bizarrely, a massive bouquet of red roses that totally didn’t match his cool, put-together vibe.

Was he… about to confess his love or something?

“Mr. Williams—that’s Walter Wilson!” Aaron said, his voice tight with excitement as he glanced back at Dennis.
