Divorced CEO's Forgotten Wife Strikes Back (Riley and Bryce) novel Chapter 134

**Dreams Refuse Gravity by Leo Arden Knox**

**Chapter 134: Give Us a Chance**

**Lucky Draw**

A moment of silence stretched between them, thick with unspoken words and emotions. Finally, Riley extended her pinky finger, a gesture that had once worked its magic on him. “Pinky promise. I’ll be right here when you come back.”

She held her breath, hoping that this simple vow would resonate with him once more.

Sebastian’s gaze lingered on their entwined fingers, his expression contemplative. After what felt like an eternity, he murmured, “Alright. But you have to wait for me.”

“I will,” she replied, her voice barely above a whisper as she nodded, a flicker of determination igniting within her.

Only then did Sebastian turn on his heel, exiting the room with a sense of purpose that left Riley feeling both hopeful and anxious.

Once she found herself alone, Riley quickly gathered her change of clothes and slipped into the bathroom. The warm water of the shower enveloped her like a comforting embrace, a stark contrast to the icy shock of the sea that had chilled her to the bone. Gradually, the warmth began to dissolve the lingering coldness from her skin and bones, leaving her feeling renewed.

As she stood there, the steam swirling around her, her thoughts drifted to the child they had saved. Without Sebastian’s unwavering support, she might not have made it to shore in time. He had truly made a significant impact on that child’s life, and perhaps, on hers as well.

But what weighed heavily on her mind, more than the rescue itself, was something Sebastian had said.

Love? That word, once a precious gem in her heart, had long since lost its luster. Her parents had shown her what genuine love looked like—mutual care, unwavering devotion, a lifetime of giving and receiving.

Bryce had once professed his love for her, too, promising to cherish her always. Yet, those words had turned to dust, meaningless whispers in the end. Just three years into their marriage, his heart had already strayed to another.

So now, here she was, grappling with the idea of Sebastian—this sharp, enigmatic man—suddenly declaring his love for her.

It felt surreal.

**We barely know each other. And could a man like him truly fall in love—with anyone?**

As Riley stepped out of the bathroom, towel in hand, she was taken aback to find Sebastian already back in her room. He had changed into fresh clothes, but his hair still dripped with water, droplets cascading down his neck.

She frowned, crossing the room toward him. “You showered, but you didn’t dry your hair?”

His response was simple, almost dismissive. “I didn’t want to waste time. I came straight over.”

Riley felt a surge of disbelief. “We didn’t even set a time! I wasn’t going to run off.”
