Swapping a Broken Heart for a New Start novel Chapter 350

She sounded so aggrieved, her voice trembling.

But the moment Sandra brought it up, Jordan Smith’s mood only got darker. He didn’t say a word, just picked up his pace toward the parking lot.

Sandra, teetering after him in her heels, started to panic. “Jordan, slow down! Wait for me—”
