The Coldest Man in the Room Melted Only for Me novel Chapter 457

Sebastian's fingers curled inward slightly, his gaze tightening on Eleanor.

Eleanor shot him a lazy, knowing look, her smile deepening as she casually added the fatal blow. "It must be fate. After all, you are the child's uncle."

She deliberately emphasized the word 'uncle', then turned to look right at him. "Isn't that right, Sebastian?"

Sebastian remained silent.

He saw exactly what was happening. Because he had kept her in the dark, she was deliberately trying to give him a heart attack. Her sarcastic jab was a direct shot at his so-called audacity—sleeping with his own brother's woman.

But he also knew she genuinely accepted Riley. Otherwise, she wouldn't have invited her and Alora to dinner, and she certainly wouldn't have spent the entire night refusing to let the baby go. She was just furious and needed to take it out on him.

Playing along with the old lady's game, Sebastian gave a curt nod. "Yes."

Eleanor's smile instantly vanished. Yes? Does this boy have no shame?

He was her father, yet he was forced to wear the title of an uncle, and he had the nerve to say yes?

Just thinking about it made Eleanor angry again. Losing all interest in teasing him, she snapped, "Help me upstairs."

Sebastian quickly stepped to her side, supporting her as they walked up the stairs.

Eleanor glared at him out of the corner of her eye.

Sebastian's lips curved upward as he offered a placating, handsome smile.

Eleanor let out a soft huff. He spends all his time looking like a brick wall, but now he decides to smile?

Once they reached the second-floor bedroom and the door closed, Eleanor's tone turned dead serious. "Before Alora learns to talk, you must bring her officially into the family. I refuse to watch my precious girl call another man her father."

"I'll do my best."

"Not your best. You will do it." The thought of having to sneak around just to see her own great-granddaughter broke Eleanor's heart.
