The Coldest Man in the Room Melted Only for Me novel Chapter 645

"Really?"

"Yeah."

"That's good. Riley, I'm sorry. Mom and Dad grew up so poor they're terrified of not having money. I told them to give the money back, but they wouldn't listen."

"It's fine. Just consider it my repayment for them raising me."

Ross's voice dropped. "So... do you still consider me your brother?"

Riley smiled faintly. "What, you don't want to be my brother anymore?"

"I do, of course I do! It's just that Mom and Dad did so many terrible things to you, I thought you might..."

"They are them, and you are you."

They chatted for a few more minutes before hanging up.

The most important task for Riley and Daphne in Riverport was to sort out the registration papers. The police station opened at two in the afternoon, so they said their goodbyes and left the orphanage at one-forty.

Quinn headed back to her law firm for work.

At the registration window, Riley explained the family conflict in detail to the officer, stating that the head of the household was refusing to hand over the original documents. After verifying her information, the officer agreed to issue her a separate registration paper.

The process went incredibly smoothly. Before long, she had the new paperwork with all her information. With this document, she could submit her materials online once she returned to Statenbury and officially transfer her legal registration.

Once her registration was moved to Statenbury, she could legally change her name there without having to travel back to Riverport.
