The Coldest Man in the Room Melted Only for Me novel Chapter 549

Zachary lounged casually in his leather chair and chuckled. "If I don't call her my sister-in-law, what should I call her? Mrs. St. John?"

There was a few seconds of silence on the line before a deep voice replied, "...She broke up with me."

Zach bolted upright, his tone full of shock. "What? Broke up? Are you kidding me? Why?"

"Are you free tonight? The Nine Heavens Pavilion. Let's go drinking."

This was the first time Sebastian had ever asked him out to drink. The situation had to be serious. "Of course I'm free. I'll call Felix and Lawrence, and we'll all meet up."

"Alright."

As night fell in The Gilded Suite at The Nine Heavens Pavilion, Sebastian sat in silence from the moment he arrived, downing drink after drink. The icy aura radiating from him felt like solid frost.

Zach shot a look at Lawrence Halloway and Felix Fletcher, but both men gave slight shakes of their heads, signaling they didn't dare provoke him.

Unable to take it anymore, Zach grabbed Sebastian's wrist just as he raised his glass. "Boss, you can't keep drinking like this. I know you have a high tolerance, but chugging it like this is going to wreck your body."

Sebastian shot him an icy glare. "Didn't you say you'd drink with me? What are you doing just sitting there?"

Braving the oppressive weight of his stare, Zach replied, "At least tell us what happened so we can help you figure this out. Just drinking isn't going to solve the problem."

A self-deprecating smirk tugged at the corner of Sebastian's lips. His deep voice echoed with endless desolation. "She said being with me is too much trouble, and she doesn't want to play this game anymore."

Zach exchanged glances with Lawrence and Felix. Their eyes held a mix of disbelief and an understanding of the current reality. Finally, Zach spoke up. "Boss, do you actually believe that?"
