Swapping a Broken Heart for a New Start novel Chapter 838

Audrey Williams went with him. Ever since the night of the ball, the elder Mr. Williams had repeatedly summoned Dennis home, but he had always found an excuse. This had greatly displeased the old man. Audrey knew about it, and she could guess what her grandfather wanted to talk about. It had to be about Camila. Worried, she decided to tag along.

When they entered the house, Douglas Williams and Charlotte Kelly were also there. After greeting his uncle and aunt, Dennis turned to the patriarch, who was sitting ramrod straight in the living room.

“You wanted to see me?”

The elder Mr. Williams’s tone was sharp. “So you still know the way back.”

Dennis sat down beside him, unperturbed. “Of course. The roads haven't changed. Besides, I knew it wasn't anything urgent. Your health is constantly monitored, and I’m kept fully informed.”

The old man’s face darkened. His grandson’s intelligence was a double-edged sword. Nothing escaped his notice. Every time he urgently summoned him, Dennis would arrive looking completely unruffled. Annoyed, the elder Mr. Williams fell silent.

Dennis knew exactly what was bothering him, but he remained calm, broaching the subject himself. “You’re still unwilling to change your mind?”

“I can admit she’s exceptional,” the old man said coldly. “But she is not the right woman for you.”

“Whether she’s right or not is for me to decide,” Dennis retorted. “I’m the one who will be living with her, not you.”

It wasn’t the first time they had had this argument, but the old man still wasn’t used to his grandson’s defiance. “You stubborn boy! Even if she’s perfect, she has a child! And the child’s biological father is still in the picture. Do you really think that child will ever accept you as a father? And that ball the other night, do you think I don't know what happened? The Smith family was there. Can’t you see why? A marriage of that many years isn’t something that can be easily severed, especially not when there’s a blood tie!”
