The Coldest Man in the Room Melted Only for Me novel Chapter 445

Sebastian stood up, quickly crossing the distance to place a nitroglycerin pill in her mouth before bringing the glass of water to her lips.

Eleanor drank and swallowed the pill.

His large hand gently rubbed her back, helping her catch her breath. After a long moment, the pale shade left her face, and her heavy panting began to steady.

Once the pain subsided, Eleanor angrily slapped his hand away. "This is absolute madness! I will never approve of this!"

"Didn't you say you liked her?"

"That's completely different!" Eleanor snapped sharply. "She used to call you her brother-in-law. The gap between your identities is an insurmountable chasm. Even if you picked up some random woman off the street, I'd agree to it, but not her. Absolutely not!"

Sebastian repeated solemnly, "I only want her."

Eleanor felt like this infuriating grandson was going to put her in an early grave. He stayed single for thirty years, and when he finally picked someone, it was his brother's ex-wife. It was a scandal of epic proportions. "Have you thought about the rumors and vicious gossip you'll face if this gets out?"

Sebastian nodded. "I know."

He knew, yet he did it anyway.

Eleanor's chest heaved. Her eyes were filled with a mixture of panic, pain, and the furious disappointment of seeing someone throw their life away. "Every move you make affects the St. John family's honor. Doing this won't just ruin your reputation; it'll humiliate the family and push Riley right into the center of a media storm. Did you consider any of that?"

She glared at him, hoping to see some spark of realization.

Instead, he gave a calm nod. "I considered all of it."

"You..." Seeing his impenetrable stubbornness, Eleanor felt her blood boil again. Her age and the overwhelming emotion caused her breathing to grow labored once more.

Sebastian quickly bent over to soothe her back.

The news filled Eleanor with overwhelming joy.

But the mother of the child was Pierce's ex-wife. That identity brought her a profound headache.

A second later, a more critical timeline occurred to her. When Pierce and Riley divorced, the child was already four months old. Add ten months of pregnancy... didn't that mean her grandson slept with Riley over a year ago?

Weren't Riley and Pierce newly married back then?

Good heavens!

"You... you... you were the other man?" Eleanor pointed a trembling finger at Sebastian. Remembering Riley's gentle, composed, and educated demeanor, she looked horrified. "How... how could Riley do something so foolish?"

Sleeping with her husband's brother while still married... This... this shattered every moral boundary she knew!
