Swapping a Broken Heart for a New Start novel Chapter 523

Camila Davis froze for a second, trying to wrap her head around what her boss had just said. What did he mean by that?

She almost blurted out an explanation, but before she could, Lillian popped out of nowhere, her face lighting up with excitement. “Really? We’re going to see Daddy? I wanna go too!”

The past few weeks had been a whirlwind for Camila. Mr. Morris had been sick, and she barely had a moment to herself, let alone time for anything else.

Little Lillian seemed to understand her mom was busy, so she’d been on her best behavior—no tantrums, no fuss.

Of course, she had asked a few times, “Mommy, why hasn’t Daddy come to see me?”

But Camila always found a way to dodge the question, offering vague excuses.

Meanwhile, Dennis Williams had his own troubles. His father had been injured and was recovering at home, and just as things started looking up, Dennis got called away on another assignment. He hadn’t been back since.

It had been days since Camila last heard from him.

In the chaos of life, she hadn’t had much time to dwell on it, but in those rare quiet moments, she’d find herself zoning out, remembering his promise: I’ll come back.

She just hadn’t expected “back” to take so long.

Every time they managed to text or talk, he always seemed rushed, busy, distracted. Their conversations never lasted more than a few lines.

Truth was, she barely knew anything about the man. He was a stranger wrapped up in a mystery, and it left her feeling strangely empty.
