The Coldest Man in the Room Melted Only for Me novel Chapter 89

Pierce froze for a split second, but only a second. "She has doctors and nurses watching over her."

Having gotten exactly the answer she wanted, Seraphina smiled, cupping Pierce's face in her hands, pushing her luck. "Deep down, you love me more, don't you?"

Pierce frowned, his lips pressed tightly together. He didn't answer.

Tears spilled down Seraphina's cheeks. "Look at what I've done to myself. Can't you just tell me what I want to hear?"

Pierce sighed, his voice completely helpless but incredibly tender. "I'm never going to leave you. Be good. Let's go to the hospital, okay?"

"Then kiss me."

"You're impossible," Pierce muttered, but he was already leaning down, capturing her lips with his.

His tone was laced with nothing but exasperated indulgence.

Seraphina wrapped her arms around his neck, kissing him back fiercely.

A few seconds later, Pierce pulled away and scooped her up into his arms.

She didn't fight him this time, just buried her face contentedly into his chest.

Riley kept recording until the two of them disappeared from the frame. She hit stop, turned, and started walking out of the bamboo forest while forwarding the video to Quinn. She added a text: [Is this enough proof for a divorce?]

A minute later, Quinn called. "This video is good for circumstantial evidence. But you're going to need videos of them spending extended time together, or hotel records, or text messages. You need a complete chain of evidence to make an airtight case."

Riley frowned. "It's that difficult?"

"In legal terms, proving 'infidelity' usually requires showing continuous cohabitation or concrete proof of sexual relations. A single kiss can easily be dismissed by a good lawyer as a 'momentary lapse in judgment' or 'just a close friendship.'"

"Got it. I'll get more."

Riley hung up the phone and stepped out of the bamboo forest. There was no rush to get back to the hospital. Pierce was going to be completely occupied playing nurse for Seraphina; he wouldn't have a second to spare for her.

She decided to take a stroll around the resort and take in the scenery.

While walking, she called Mrs. Gable to check on Alora. The moment she hung up, a male voice sounded beside her. "Ms. Vance. Mr. St. John would like to see you."
