The Coldest Man in the Room Melted Only for Me novel Chapter 446

"She doesn't know."

"Who doesn't know?"

"Riley."

"What doesn't she know?"

"She doesn't know it was me on her wedding night. She doesn't know the child is mine."

What?

Wedding night?

"Are you telling me that on the night she married Pierce, you were the one who slept with her?" Eleanor was shaking as she asked the question.

Sebastian nodded.

Eleanor felt as if the rapid-fire string of explosive revelations was going to knock her unconscious. Black spots danced in her vision. She pressed a hand to her forehead and closed her eyes.

Sebastian immediately stepped in to rub her back again, concern etching his features. "Grandma, how do you feel?"

Don't bother taking me to the hospital, just send me straight to the pearly gates, she thought.

But the dizziness and tightness in her chest left her utterly incapable of speech.

Seeing her eyes tightly shut, a rare flash of panic broke through Sebastian's usual stoicism. He moved quickly toward the door.

Opening her eyes, Eleanor saw him at the threshold. Swallowing hard to suppress the violent surge of emotion, she forced out a breathless command. "Stop right there."

Sebastian looked back. "I'm having the driver pull the car around. I'm taking you to the hospital."

"Come back." Seeing him hesitate, she added, "I'm fine. Just help me to bed so I can lie down for a moment."

"She was drugged by Seraphina Sutton. She was completely out of her mind."

Eleanor recalled the scandal involving Pierce's infidelity. Wasn't the mistress named Seraphina? She remembered the news saying she was the heiress to the Sutton Group and Pierce's childhood friend.

Having lived in elite circles for decades, she had seen enough backstabbing, love, and hate to guess the rest with her eyes closed. Seraphina couldn't have the man she wanted, so she plotted to ruin his wife and make him disgusted by her.

"Even if she was drugged, she had Pierce. Why did it end up being you?"

"Seraphina hired people to get Pierce blackout drunk. When I returned to my hotel room, I accidentally stumbled onto Seraphina's scheme. My original intention was just to save Riley..."

Sebastian didn't finish, but Eleanor filled in the blanks. Riley was drugged and delirious, desperate for release. Sebastian appeared at exactly that moment, and under the influence, she inevitably clung to him.

But... "You're not someone who loses control. I've sent countless women your way, and you never looked twice. Why couldn't you push away a woman you absolutely shouldn't have touched?"

She knew very well that when Sebastian first returned to the family, women had thrown themselves naked into his bed, and he hadn't blinked.
