Swapping a Broken Heart for a New Start novel Chapter 690

Compared to her parents’ bashful awkwardness, Audrey Williams was far bolder.

Without a hint of shame, she pulled out her phone and snapped several photos of the sweet couple in front of her, making sure to capture every adorable angle. Satisfied, she tapped save and tucked her phone away.

Dennis Williams arched a brow at her, then shot her a look that said, “Get moving! Don’t make trouble here!”

Audrey caught his meaning instantly. Flashing him an “OK” sign with her hand, she hopped to her feet and turned to her parents. “Let’s go find Grandpa,” she announced cheerfully, linking arms with them as they made their way back to the banquet hall.

Once they’d left the garden behind, Douglas Williams leaned down to ask his daughter, “So, did you get the shots? Any good ones?”

Audrey grinned, her eyes sparkling with mischief. “Of course I did! Both Jordan and Camila are so photogenic—every picture came out perfectly. I took a bunch, actually. I’m planning to sell them to Jordan for a high price and make myself some spending money!”

Charlotte Kelly couldn’t help but laugh at her daughter’s scheming. “You little rascal…”

The three of them chatted and laughed as they returned to the entrance of the banquet hall.

Just as they were about to go inside, they ran into Cynthia Lee.

Spotting them, Cynthia’s face lit up with a gentle, practiced smile. She approached, greeting them warmly, “Charlotte, I was just about to go looking for you. You’d been gone a while—everything all right?”

The three exchanged a quick glance, tacitly dropping any mention of Dennis.

Charlotte offered her a polite nod. “Nothing serious—just took Audrey to get her medicine. That’s why we were held up.”

At that, Cynthia’s expression shifted to one of concern. “Are you not feeling well, Audrey? Are you all right?”

Audrey replied with a cheerful smile, “I’m fine, Nancy. No need to worry. Did we keep you waiting long? Let’s go back in.”

“Of course.”

Douglas and Charlotte nodded, preparing to head inside.

But Cynthia glanced behind them, puzzled. “Wait—where’s Dennis? Didn’t he come back with you?”

Charlotte answered smoothly, “He ran into an old acquaintance. He’ll be back soon.”

Audrey took Cynthia’s arm, gently preventing her from heading outside. “No need to wait for him, Nancy. Come on, I want to chat with you.”
