Swapping a Broken Heart for a New Start novel Chapter 554

Dennis Williams was caught off guard by Camila’s sudden move.

He instinctively glanced back at her, concern in his voice. “Hey, what’s up?”

Camila sounded a little frantic. “Are you… are you going back to get engaged?”

Dennis’s eyes widened in surprise.

Before he could say a word, Camila quickly pulled her hand away, mumbling, “If you are, then… maybe we shouldn’t talk anymore, okay?”

She sounded like she was trying to explain herself, her voice barely above a whisper. “Lillian is hard to comfort. She always asks for her dad. You’ve been playing that role for her, and it’s helped, but… you can’t keep doing it.

It took me ages to help her move on, and then you showed up again.

I just— I don’t know what to do anymore. So… could you do me this favor, please?”

Dennis didn’t agree. He couldn’t.

He caught a few words in her ramble that made him narrow his eyes. “Engaged? Who told you I was getting engaged?”

Camila, oblivious to the change in his tone, replied honestly, “I heard it back in Boston. I met your fiancée. She told me herself.”

Dennis frowned. “When exactly?”

She answered right away. “Over dinner.”

They’d only had dinner together once in Boston.

It had been that night—after he dropped her off—when she’d started acting distant.

Now, Dennis finally understood what had caused her weirdness.

No wonder she’d ghosted him that night. No wonder she’d been deliberately pushing him away.

So it was because she’d found out…

Dennis couldn’t decide whether to be annoyed or amused.
