Swapping a Broken Heart for a New Start novel Chapter 538

When she said that, Sarah Brown’s gaze was icy cold, sweeping over Daniel and Sandra Taylor with a look that could freeze water.

Barbara Jones and Jordan Smith looked absolutely livid, their faces tight and pale.

Especially Jordan. After Sarah finished speaking, he turned to glare at Camila Davis, his eyes so sharp it was like he wanted to burn a hole right through her.

“Camila, Lillian’s just a kid—she doesn’t know any better. But you? You’re old enough to know right from wrong. Why didn’t you set her straight?”

Camila’s voice was just as cold as his. “Set her straight about what? Mr. Smith, you’re about to have a whole new family. Why do you care if your daughter—who you barely notice anyway—calls someone else ‘dad’? Isn’t that a little hypocritical?

You’re fine with Sandra’s kid calling you his dad, but Lillian can’t call someone else ‘dad’? Give me a break.

Jordan Smith, don’t flatter yourself. The day I remarry, my husband will be Lillian’s father. That’s the reality, whether you like it or not—and it’s none of your business.”

Her words made something ugly twist inside Jordan. He had Sandra now, a new baby, and if things kept going smoothly, they’d be planning a wedding soon. He’d imagined a perfect, happy future with Sandra—just the way he wanted.

But hearing Camila talk about marrying someone else? That made something dark and possessive rise up in him. He hated it, but there it was: he didn’t want Camila Davis to marry anyone else.

But Camila was done. She grabbed Lillian and Sarah Brown and turned to leave.

They’d just made it a few steps when Camila realized Sarah wasn’t following. She stopped, looking back in confusion. “Sarah?”
