The Coldest Man in the Room Melted Only for Me novel Chapter 122

Franklin walked up to Riley and held out a hand. "Ms. Vance, the gift."

Riley handed the gift to Franklin. "Mr. Finch, were you waiting right outside the door?"

Franklin clutched the gift bag, hesitating for two seconds before nodding. He then turned and hurried down the stairs.

Riley didn't know what to say.

He came and went in such a rush. What was the hurry?

The Main Villa Living Room

Eleanor looked at Sebastian and asked, "Didn't you say you'd only come over tonight? Why are you here now?"

Sebastian leaned his tall frame against the sofa. "I finished my work, so I came over."

Eleanor wanted to push him to get married, but knowing that Sebastian always found an excuse to leave whenever she brought it up, she didn't mention it directly. Instead, she beat around the bush. "I met Pierce's wife today. She's a lovely girl. I really like her."

Sebastian's eyelids lifted slightly. "You like her too?"

"Yes, she's humble and grounded..." Wait. Eleanor looked at Sebastian in confusion. "Too? Who else likes Riley?"

Sebastian's gaze lowered slightly. "She is Pierce's wife."

"Oh, you mean Pierce. It's obvious he really loves Riley. Look, Pierce is only two years younger than you, and he already has a daughter. As his older brother, shouldn't you find someone caring to look after you too?"

Sebastian frowned slightly. "I have a video conference in a bit. I'll join you for dinner later." With that, he stood up to leave.

"Don't you dare walk away!" Eleanor commanded sternly. "Every time I mention your future, you try to run. Does running away solve the problem? What kind of woman do you even like? Tell your grandmother, and I'll find her for you."

Sebastian pulled his foot back, looking at Eleanor with calm eyes. "Someone I feel a connection with."
