Swapping a Broken Heart for a New Start novel Chapter 335

He stepped out of the car and headed inside.

As soon as Sandra Taylor saw him, she rushed over to greet him, her smile warm and inviting. “You’re back! Long day, huh?”

Jordan Smith just nodded, his expression distant. He shrugged off his suit jacket and dropped onto the couch, rubbing his thigh absentmindedly.
