Not only did Sebastian not oppose her divorce, but he had actively helped her move.
She wouldn't have dared to imagine this in a million years before tonight.
"Why don't you go take care of Alora? I can unpack out here," Mrs. Gable said.
Snapping out of her daze, Riley turned to her. "You don't need to call me 'Mrs. Landon' anymore, and please just call Alora by her name."
She was officially cutting ties with the Landon family. Outside of that world, she was just an ordinary person, and keeping those titles felt ridiculous now.
Mrs. Gable nodded. "Alright."

Inside the car, Franklin could tell that Sebastian was in an excellent mood. He still looked as stoic and unmovable as a mountain, but Franklin had been with him since their days in the military. After twelve years of serving as his assistant and personal bodyguard, Franklin could read the microscopic shifts in his demeanor.
For instance, Sebastian was currently rubbing the rosewood beaded bracelet on his wrist, his index finger tapping rhythmically against the wood—a definitive sign that he was pleased.
Whenever he was in a good mood, he subconsciously tapped on things: his bracelet, a teacup, the table, his knee...
"Eyes on the road."
Sebastian's deep, cool voice cut through the silence. Franklin immediately pulled his eyes away from the rearview mirror and focused on the street ahead.
Typical Boss. The man's situational awareness was as terrifying as it had been in the special forces.
"Look into what Pierce did at Statenbury First Medical Center."
"Yes, sir." Franklin tapped his Bluetooth earpiece and made a quick call. A few moments later, he hung up. He checked the rearview mirror, saw Sebastian resting with his eyes closed, and stayed quiet.
"Report."
Given permission, Franklin spoke. "Mr. Landon took the hospital director out to dinner and donated a batch of high-end medical equipment. In exchange, the director canceled Ms. Vance's placement."
