The Coldest Man in the Room Melted Only for Me novel Chapter 186

Riley turned to see a young woman rushing over. Surprise flashed across her face. "Winona, what are you doing here?"

Winona Spencer looked unusually pale. "I keep feeling nauseous. I'm really uncomfortable, so I came to get checked out."

Nauseous?

Riley remembered that Winona was Sebastian's girlfriend. Could she be pregnant?

Winona looked at Riley's pristine white coat in confusion. "Wait, don't you work at a hospital in Riverport? What are you doing here?"

A smile touched Riley's lips. "I accepted a position here. Today is my first day."

Winona's eyes instantly lit up. She didn't know why, but she really liked Riley. There was this warm, inexplicable aura about her that made Winona want to be her friend.

"That's amazing! Can we hang out?"

Riley had a soft spot for Winona as well. She was bubbly, bright, and radiated pure sunshine. "Of course. Do you want me to go with you to see the doctor?"

"No, I don't want to keep you from work. I'll text you, and we can go shopping when you have a day off!"

Riley figured that for elite heirs like Sebastian and Winona, dating and having children were highly private affairs. More importantly, they weren't married yet, and a pregnancy out of wedlock was a massive scandal in their social circles.

So when Winona declined, Riley didn't push. She simply smiled and nodded. "Okay."

As she was getting off work, her phone rang. It was an unknown landline number. Confused, she answered, "Hello, who's calling?"

"Riley, my dear, it's me."

Riley was shocked. "Lady Eleanor?"

"Yes. Winona mentioned you've moved to Statenbury."

"I have."

"Come to the estate for dinner tonight. Bring Alora so an old woman can finally meet her."

Now that she was divorced from Pierce, she had no ties to the Landon family, let alone the St. John family. Wouldn't it be incredibly awkward to go?

But refusing a direct invitation from the matriarch of the St. John family would be incredibly rude.
