The Coldest Man in the Room Melted Only for Me novel Chapter 582

The gala didn't end until ten o'clock. Worried that Daphne Spencer might leave first, Winona Spencer was seen out while the Spencer family butler stayed behind to wrap things up.

Riley Vance watched Winona get into the Spencer family's chauffeured car, reminding her to text once she got home. She didn't pull out her phone to order a ride until the car had completely disappeared down the road.

Just as she was about to request a car, a black Maybach pulled up beside her. The window rolled down to reveal Franklin Finch's chiseled face. "Riley, did you not drive here today?"

Riley nodded. "Yeah." Her gaze instinctively flicked to the backseat, but the tinted windows were tightly rolled up, making it impossible to see inside.

"Let me give you a ride?"

Riley immediately shook her head. She was about to lie and say she had already ordered a car, but before she could speak, Franklin cut in. "Sebastian left in Macy Sinclair's car earlier. I'm the only one in here."

Sebastian St. John had left in Macy's car?

It was so late. Where was he going in Macy's car?

To Macy's house?

Were they already together?

Riley's mind uncontrollably conjured up an image of Sebastian pinning Macy beneath him. Her eyes suddenly burned with heat. This thought stung her heart far more than seeing Macy standing proudly by Sebastian's side at the gala.

How could he move on to another woman so quickly?

Human nature was truly a contradiction. On one hand, she wanted him to forget her and live a good life. On the other hand, she couldn't accept the idea of him being with someone else.

"Riley?"

Riley snapped back to reality, only then realizing that Franklin had already stepped out of the car and opened the rear door for her.

She lifted her gaze, pretending to casually admire the night scenery. Using the distraction, she fought to suppress the surging emotions in her chest and blinked away the moisture in her eyes. After a few seconds, she turned to Franklin. "It's so late. I don't want to trouble you."
