The Coldest Man in the Room Melted Only for Me novel Chapter 224

But she and Sebastian weren't together. Sitting next to him felt incredibly strange.

Sebastian walked over, pulled out a chair for her, and looked at her. "Have a seat."

Everyone at the table stared in shock.

Sebastian pulling out a chair for a woman?

This was unprecedented.

Not even the beloved Spencer heiress got this kind of treatment.

There was definitely something going on. Absolutely.

Riley was completely taken aback by his gentlemanly gesture. Feeling flattered but highly self-conscious under everyone's gaze, she couldn't refuse. She murmured a quiet "Thank you" and sat down.

The waitstaff immediately began serving an array of exquisite, high-end dishes.

A server stepped forward to pour the wine.

"I'll take it from here," Zach interjected, dismissing the server.

Zach poured the first glass and offered it to Sebastian. "We're not leaving until we're thoroughly wasted tonight."

Sebastian didn't take the glass. "You guys drink. I'm staying sober tonight."

"You're the birthday boy! You have to drink."

"Alcohol causes mistakes." As he said this, Sebastian shot a fleeting, discreet glance at Riley.

Zach's hand actually trembled.

Sitting right next to Riley, Zach had caught that glance. Combined with what Sebastian just said...

Was Sebastian planning to sleep with her tonight?

But she was Pierce's ex-wife!

Had he seriously fallen for his brother's ex?!

Riley wasn't an idiot. She heard the teasing undertone and immediately opened her mouth to clarify the misunderstanding. But Sebastian beat her to it.

"She's injured. She hasn't fully recovered."

Zach decided to step in and help. "She is. Dr. Vance is the one who saved that woman on the hospital roof a few days ago."

Everyone at the table was a powerful player in Statenbury; they kept close tabs on local news.

Hearing this, they exchanged wide-eyed looks. Their playful curiosity morphed into absolute, mind-blown shock.

The heroic doctor the internet was dubbing the 'Angel of Mercy' was Pierce Landon's ex-wife. And now, Sebastian was doting on her with unprecedented tenderness. What exactly did this mean?

Had he fallen for his buddy's former wife?

The one with a kid?

This was the most insane gossip of the century!
