The Coldest Man in the Room Melted Only for Me novel Chapter 145

The cheating bastard and the delusional mistress deserved each other. It was better they stayed together rather than ruining the lives of the innocent wife and the clueless boyfriend.

So, she simply fell back on standard protocol. 'I strongly suggest you schedule an in-person appointment. Do not avoid professional help. Delaying treatment will only make your symptoms worse.'

'He's video-calling me! He must be missing me and our son.'

The patient fired off that final message and immediately disconnected.

After a few encounters, Riley had grown used to the woman's erratic behavior. But tonight, the session had sparked an idea.

Since Seraphina was obsessed with Pierce and Riley desperately wanted a divorce, maybe she could weaponize the mistress. If Seraphina applied enough pressure on her end, Pierce might finally crack.

She’d leave the two toxic soulmates to deal with each other.

Even so, the thought of actively seeking out Seraphina for cooperation made Riley feel slightly nauseous.

But there were only four days left in the mandatory cooling-off period. What if Pierce still refused to sign the final papers and didn't show up at the courthouse?

She was leaving for Statenbury First Medical Center in a week. She absolutely had to have the finalized divorce decree in her hands before she boarded that plane.

Making her decision, she dialed Quinn. "Quinn, can you get me Seraphina Sutton's phone number?"

"Why do you need her number?"

"I need her to put the screws on Pierce so he'll finally agree to the divorce."

"No way. If you call her, she's just going to use it as an opportunity to humiliate you."

"I don't care about the process, I just need the result." Riley let out a tired sigh. "My start date at Statenbury First is officially locked in. It's next week. I'm out of time."

A beat of silence followed. "...Fine. I'll get you her number."

"I knew I could count on you."

Riley hung up. A few minutes later, Quinn texted her the digits, and Riley dialed immediately.
