The Coldest Man in the Room Melted Only for Me novel Chapter 157

Her calm composure only made the dark, suppressed desires within him feel more intense.

He pulled his finger away with a slight tug, breaking free of Alora's grip—and severing the intoxicating touch from Riley that was making it impossible for him to think straight.

Sebastian turned, picked up the tea from the coffee table, and sat on the sofa. He took a slow sip, forcing the restlessness in his chest down. "I was passing by the courthouse today on business. I saw you."

Franklin, who had just walked in to grab another box, thought to himself: *Passing by? You sat parked outside the courthouse all day.*

Riley had just sat down in the armchair. Hearing this, her heart skipped a beat.

She hadn't expected him to spot her there.

Then again, he had also overheard Pierce drunkenly mentioning the divorce last time.

He was a brilliant man. He had probably put the pieces together already.

That explained why he wasn't at all surprised to see her moving out.

It also meant Pierce hadn't told him about the divorce; he had figured it out on his own.

Since she was about to file a lawsuit anyway, there was no point in keeping secrets. "Pierce was unfaithful," she said bluntly. "We're getting a divorce."

Sebastian looked at her with an unnervingly calm expression. "Is it finalized?"

Why wasn't he surprised that Pierce had cheated? Did he already know?

Or was the formidable CEO simply an expert at burying his emotions?

And why wasn't he opposing the divorce?

As Pierce's older brother, shouldn't he be protecting Pierce's interests? A messy infidelity scandal and divorce would be catastrophic for the company's image.
