The Coldest Man in the Room Melted Only for Me novel Chapter 442

Victor and Daphne had been hearing that name a lot lately. They knew the two girls were close, and worried their daughter was being taken advantage of, Victor had even run a private background check on Riley.

They knew she came from an ordinary background, was Pierce's ex-wife, had a daughter, and was a brilliant psychiatrist. The couple was also well aware of how Riley had risked her own life to save a suicidal woman from jumping off a building.

They both agreed that Riley was a kind-hearted, grounded young woman. They were more than happy to support their precious daughter having a friend like her.

"Didn't you forget something?"

He took a few steps toward the door before remembering something. He turned back. "Look at me, I'm so busy I almost forgot. I already sent Mother back to the estate. She specifically instructed me to tell you that no matter how late it is tonight, you must go back to see her."

Sebastian's brow twitched imperceptibly. His grandmother was waiting for an explanation. "Understood."

Montgomery left.

Zach nodded. "Sure."
