Swapping a Broken Heart for a New Start novel Chapter 925

Jordan's expression stiffened. A man as proud as him had never been treated with such disdain. In the past, he would have coldly told the person to get lost, never allowing himself to be slighted. But with Camila, he was weighed down by guilt. The memory of the years he'd neglected her pressed on his heart, making it hard to breathe.

He swallowed his pride and his temper, speaking with a humility that was completely foreign to him. "I won't stop. Camila, I know you resent me, and I know I was wrong in the past. I shouldn't have ignored you, shouldn't have been so cold. I failed to see how wonderful you were, and I broke your heart. Now I understand your pain, I understand how hard those years were for you. I was a bastard. I admit it all... Before I came to Cabinda, I did a lot of soul-searching. I'm being completely sincere when I say I want to get back together with you."

"Camila, come back to me. I swear I'll treat you right from now on. I'll cherish you and Lillian. You care about her more than anything, don't you? You once told me her autism was caused by a lack of affection. I failed in my duties as a father, but I promise, that won't happen again. From now on, I will give you both all the patience and love in the world, okay?"

For the first time, Jordan's deep eyes shone with intense emotion. "Camila, I have you in my heart. I just didn't realize it back then, blinded by my own obsessions. It was only later that I saw how terribly wrong I was... Please, just give me one chance to make it right."

Camila listened to his heartfelt apology, to his declaration of love, with genuine shock. In her wildest dreams, she had never imagined this man speaking to her with such a tone. He had always been so high and mighty, so conscious of his status. Had he truly lost his mind?

He knew he was wrong? She didn't believe a word of it.

She quickly recovered from her shock, her voice turning to ice. "No, Jordan. Not every mistake can be fixed with an apology. Not all debts can be repaid later. The damage has been done. Even when a wound heals, the scar remains. It can never be erased. Your words don't move me, they don't soften my heart. They only make me feel disgusted by your hypocrisy. Don't trouble yourself by putting on this act for me."

"You already know I have a boyfriend. You've seen with your own eyes how happy we are. Can't you take a hint? Whether you're playing dumb or not, let me make it crystal clear today: Lillian and I don't need you anymore. Back when you repeatedly chose Sandra Taylor and her son over us, you were as good as dead to us. And now, someone else has filled that void."

As she spoke of Dennis, her expression softened for a fleeting moment before hardening again with derision. "When I was with you, I had no self-respect. I went to work at the Smith Group just so people wouldn't dismiss me as a housewife who couldn't do anything. But you looked down on me from the very beginning. You never trusted my abilities and thought I was just there to waste time. Then, the moment Sandra Taylor returned, you kicked me out without a second thought. You hid our marriage, played the part of a single man, and flirted openly with her."
