She tugged gently, trying to slip her hand out of Sebastian's grasp.
But his fingers remained firmly laced with hers, refusing to yield even an inch. He looked earnestly at Victor and Daphne. "Mr. Spencer, Mrs. Spencer..."
Daphne cut him off. "Go take a hot shower and get out of those wet clothes. We'll talk later."
Victor turned to the butler. "Take him to the guest room on the first floor and bring him a set of my clothes."
The butler gestured for Sebastian to follow.
Sebastian offered a polite nod. "Thank you, Mr. Spencer." Only then did he slowly release Riley's hand and follow the butler to the guest room.
"Riley, I'll walk you upstairs." Winona took Riley's arm, and as they ascended the stairs, she leaned in, grinning. "I saw you two kissing in the rain! Does that mean you're back together?"
Riley's cheeks burned as she offered a soft murmur of agreement. "Yes."
"I told Mom and Dad everything about you two. They shouldn't have any objections now."
Riley's eyes softened with bashful gratitude, though a smile played on her lips. "Thank you."
"You're welcome! So, how does it feel having such a beautiful, kind-hearted sister like me? Not bad, right?"
Riley couldn't help but laugh, her eyes curving into crescents. "More than 'not bad'. Having a sister as sweet and thoughtful as you is the luckiest thing in the world."
Sebastian emerged from the guest room dressed in Victor's clothes. Being slightly taller than Victor, the trousers were a bit short, stopping just above his ankles. However, thanks to his exceptional build, even the ill-fitting clothes couldn't hide his broad shoulders and narrow waist. He looked effortlessly striking.
Stripped of the pathetic look from standing in the rain, his calm, commanding aura was completely undiminished.

Update please...
Its better when the female lead is strong. Nothing worse then reading a story with a weak main character...
