The Coldest Man in the Room Melted Only for Me novel Chapter 32

"It's a gesture from Sebastian. We should accept it and remember his kindness."

Riley nodded.

Of course she would remember his kindness.

If he hadn't stepped in at the most critical moment, she and her daughter might not even be alive right now.

Furthermore, Sebastian's gift was a clear signal that he valued her daughter.

When Beatrice had taken her to the Landon family's private hospital and found out it was a girl, she had been visibly displeased.

Arthur Sr. had even flat-out stated that if she had a girl, she would have to keep trying.

He stopped just short of explicitly saying she had to give birth until she produced a boy.

She didn't care if the Landon family despised her.

But her daughter was a different story. She refused to let her daughter suffer even the slightest grievance.

With Sebastian's endorsement, the Landons wouldn't dare mistreat the baby.

That evening, Sebastian arrived.

Through the wall, Riley heard him saying his goodbyes to Pierce, followed by Arthur Sr. and Beatrice urging him to stay.

Hadn't they said he was staying in Riverport for half a month?

It had only been a few days; why was he leaving so soon?

Riley pondered for a few seconds before looking at Mrs. Gable. "Mrs. Gable, could you ask Sebastian to come in? I'd like to thank him in person."

"Right away." Mrs. Gable hurried out.

Through the partition, Riley heard her speak. "Mr. St. John, Ma'am asked me to invite you in."

Then, she heard the steady sound of his leather shoes approaching.

Soon, Sebastian appeared in the doorway. Tall and imposing, he crossed the room in just a few strides.
