The Coldest Man in the Room Melted Only for Me novel Chapter 501

Riley Vance looked at Sebastian St. John, wanting to say something, but she glanced around and held back. Turning to a complicated-looking Ross Vance, she said, "Let's get in the car."

They all piled in and drove off.

Unbeknownst to them, hidden in a dark corner nearby, someone had recorded the entire interaction on their phone.

In the car, Riley noticed Ross repeatedly glancing at her and then at Sebastian in the driver's seat. He looked like he was bursting with questions, and she wanted to explain, but didn't know where to start.

She couldn't exactly say that things weren't what they looked like.

They had hugged and held hands; denying it would be treating her brother like an idiot.

But confessing to her brother that she was dating Sebastian was just too hard to say out loud. She was supposed to be setting a good example, not engaging in such a taboo romance.

Sigh... her authority as an older sister was completely gone.

Just then, Sebastian's voice drifted from the front. "Staying in Statenbury to keep your sister company for the holidays?"

His deep voice carried an easy familiarity.

Ross hadn't expected the intimidating CEO to initiate a conversation. He nodded nervously. "Yeah."

"I was worried about her being alone. It's good that you're here."

That statement made their relationship abundantly clear, yet Ross still couldn't quite process it. He felt like he needed absolute confirmation before he could breathe again. Swallowing hard, he gathered his courage and asked softly, "What exactly... is your relationship with my sister?"

Sebastian kept his eyes on the road, glancing at the rearview mirror. His gaze met Riley's reflection, and a faint smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. "We're going to get married."

Riley's heart skipped a beat. She thought he would just say they were dating, not drop a bombshell like that.

This wasn't just a fleeting fling; he genuinely intended to spend the rest of his life with her.
