Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 10
"Good thing Sebastian has quick reflexes to protect Seraphina. Don't go flattering yourself thinking he was trying to save you, Raelynn. That would just be embarrassing," Leo added with a mocking smirk.
Sebastian's expression remained perfectly blank. He didn't bother denying Leo's claim.
Raelynn understood perfectly. If that pot had fallen, it could have splashed Seraphina.
Sebastian wasn't protecting her. He was shielding the love of his life, and Raelynn just happened to be in the way.
Raelynn wasn't about to overthink it.
She wasn't that delusional.
Julian didn't say anything, but the pure contempt in his eyes spoke volumes.
Raelynn didn't fully grasp the situation, but her instincts screamed that this was a trap.
She turned to leave, refusing to get tangled in their mess.
Suddenly, a hand clamped down on her wrist. The rough friction of his knuckles against her skin made her heart slam against her ribs. She spun around and met Sebastian's dark, freezing gaze.
He stared at her, his voice slicing through the air like a blade aimed straight at her throat.
"Apologize to Seraphina."
It felt like someone had just forced acid down her throat, burning her lungs to ash. She stared back at him with pure ice. "Give me one good reason."
"I think you know exactly why."
Sebastian clearly didn't want to repeat the nasty rumors out loud in front of Seraphina.
He immediately dropped her wrist, pulling his hand back as if trying to prove his loyalty.
Raelynn wasn't stupid. She figured it out instantly. He was terrified Seraphina would get jealous over the physical contact.
Taking one look at the group, she pieced the entire puzzle together.
Julian must have taken Chloe's rant and twisted it into a malicious game of telephone.
These people had deliberately lured her upstairs to corner her.
She frowned for a second, but then quickly let it go.
Whatever the truth was, she couldn't care less anymore.
Besides, with Sebastian's 'sterile' reputation preceding him, it probably was difficult to get pregnant anyway.
Trash is trash, and betrayal is betrayal, no matter the details.
Staring at Seraphina, completely awestruck by the woman's sheer audacity, Raelynn finally replied. "Sure."
Seraphina was completely thrown off by how easily Raelynn caved.
Sebastian lowered his gaze, watching Raelynn closely.
He seemed to think this was exactly what she should do.
But in the very next breath, her voice rang out sharp and clear. "I can set up a few social media accounts and issue a massive public apology to Ms. Vance. I'll make sure everyone knows how narrow-minded I am for interrupting her little affair with my husband. After all, I'm not like Ms. Vance, who's absolutely dying to be a home-wrecker, and I'm certainly not like Mr. Croix, who clearly loves playing house with two women at once."

The readers' comments on the novel: Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding
I think for as slow as the beginning was, their turning point is just so fast... really hope we actually get to read about R and S and their rekindle.... we did not read 950 pages for their story to be sidelined. Im for this sideline story, but it if it's to separate from the main characters and their story, please make it separate book....
Author please update more chapters...
I really like Zella, she is becoming a good friend to Raelynn. Ian needs to go. The relationship with Chloe is confusing. Some chapters they are cousins, sometimes they're sibling. A little confusing....
Julians role as big brother- I feel comes from a genuine place, but in a relationship thats is just as stained as Raelynns and Sebastians. It hard for me to connect to his big brother role as he too was such a problem before. And while they talked a little bit, the conversation did not give me the believe there was resolution between Raelynn and Julian. For a brute, he should make his feelings clear about the situation to Raelynn and then step back, until there is more foundation for him to stand on....
Knife in my heart. I hurt for Raelynn. She has made it this far, but how much does she have in her, everyone has a breaking point. Some back of me hopes the author is joking to lighten the mood after so many intense chapters, but thats not this kind of story or couple....
My heart cannot take this. This, cannot be how it ends with these too. They need resolution with each other. Raelynn needs to be more humanize with Sebastian. We know she is hurt, but this is the branch. She needs all these answers, if not for them to be together, then for Lily to have both her parents. Stop with the mind games Raelynn!...
Its like the story is just repeating itself...
Timeline is getting lost for me. So many treasured little memories Raelynn has but yet, he was gone for years ? Anyways... still rooting for them! These two need a heart to heart. Lily "forgetting" someone, not possible in this day and age and I hope thats not their storyline....
Sebastian, the man of few words.... needs to find all the words! Needs to fight for her! On note, seven years seems like a long time for this master plan (which I am sure goes back much farther). Rereading this novel, and it seems like everything has played out in a 5-8 month time span. And I feel like all Sebastian's doings/ plan have not been revealed. I hope we get to see the whole picture and have the resolutions we hope. But seven years of mistreatment, I just don't see Raelynn fully coming back. If these was 2-3 years, maybe, and I know it changes some characters around, but it would still work. Rooting for them!...
Literally on edge!...
