Swapping a Broken Heart for a New Start novel Chapter 621

After making their arrangements, they said their goodbyes at the door and went their separate ways.

Aaron came over and pulled open the backseat door of the car.

Dennis Williams ushered Camila Davis inside, and finally, the two of them had a moment to talk.

Camila glanced at him, guilt written across her face as she took in his sharp features.

He looked tired, like he’d rushed back in a hurry, and she felt a pang of concern.

“I’m really sorry,” she said softly, “You just got back, and now you’re having to deal with all…this.”

Dennis reached over and took her hand, giving it a gentle squeeze. “Why are you apologizing? Isn’t this exactly what I’m supposed to do?”

He hated how she always tried to keep a polite distance between them.

Camila shook her head. “But tonight was such a scene. Now everyone knows about us…”

No matter how much people respected Dennis, she knew they’d talk behind his back now, whispering things that were anything but kind.

It was exactly what she’d always hoped to avoid.

Even if Dennis didn’t care, she couldn’t help but feel bad. Everything had come out in the open so soon.

And with Dennis only just having called off his engagement, his family was probably still tangled up in that mess.

Now that their relationship was public, she was sure his folks would come questioning him. Maybe… even try to stop them.

That was why she’d tried so hard to keep Sarah Brown from making a scene tonight. Dennis had been so busy lately, she didn’t want to add more to his plate.

But in the end, there was no avoiding it.

She sighed, her voice heavy with regret, “I’m sorry, Dennis. I feel like I’ve just made things harder for you.”

Hearing that, Dennis’s eyes grew a touch darker.

He reached out, tilting her chin up so she had to look at him. “Hey, what’s this? Are you regretting it?”

She blinked, caught off guard. “Regret what?”

“Regret being with me?” His voice was low, steady.
