The Coldest Man in the Room Melted Only for Me novel Chapter 643

Macy paused for a moment before a knowing smile touched her lips. "Maybe true love doesn't require any tricks. Someone you have to use tactics to keep probably isn't worth keeping anyway. Thanks for the insight, Ms. Spencer. I'll be going now."

Riley stood up and walked Macy to the door. Standing there alone, a wave of confusion washed over her.

It was true. What exactly did Sebastian like about her?

And why had he fallen for her in the first place?

As she pondered this, Quinn Logan's call came through. "Riley, what time is your flight tomorrow? I'll pick you up at the airport."

Riley had tomorrow off and had arranged to go back to Riverport with Daphne to replace her lost registration papers. Daphne also wanted to drop by and visit Penelope.

"You don't have to take time off work just to pick me up."

"Of course I do! We haven't seen each other in forever, and I really want to meet your mom."

Riley smiled softly. "Alright, wait for me at the arrivals exit at ten-thirty."

"You got it."

The next morning, Daphne arrived at The Grand Regency bright and early.

When Mrs. Gable opened the door, she saw an elegant, wealthy-looking woman holding breakfast. She asked tentatively, "Are you Evie's mother?"

Daphne smiled and nodded. "Yes."

Mrs. Gable remembered Riley mentioning the night before that her biological mother would be coming to pick her up to handle her paperwork in Riverport. She hadn't expected her to arrive so early. She quickly stepped aside and warmly invited her in. "Please, come in."

The two women walked inside.

Mrs. Gable took the breakfast from Daphne's hands and set it on the coffee table. "Have a seat. I'll go wake Evie up."

Daphne quickly stopped her. "Don't wake her. It's early, let her sleep a little longer."

She walked over to the soft playmat and gently took Alora's chubby little hand, her eyes softening instantly. "I came early on purpose so I could spend more time with Alora."

"Let me pour you some tea, then."
