"Sebastian, we should get going."
A voice from behind cut Raelynn off, choking the words 'divorce papers' right back down her throat.
Raelynn turned to see Seraphina glaring at her with outright hostility.
She looked at Raelynn as if *she* were some home-wrecking tramp trying to steal her man.
Sebastian simply offered a low, "Mm."
He cast a sidelong glance at Raelynn before stepping right past her, his long strides carrying him toward Seraphina.
Seraphina's lips curled into a victorious smirk.
She boldly linked her arm through Sebastian's, and the two walked off together.
A cold draft swept through the corridor window, giving Raelynn goosebumps.
Right.
She was being naive.
Did she really think Sebastian would suddenly care about discretion just because they were getting divorced? Did she actually expect him to hold back from showing off his affection for Seraphina?
When Raelynn returned, Chloe was waiting for her by the door.
"Well? Did you talk sense into him?"
Raelynn shook her head. "He didn't agree."
"No wonder! I just saw Seraphina practically glued to his arm, introducing him to all the senior doctors. She was strutting around like she owns the place!" Chloe cursed.
Raelynn didn't have the energy to care anymore. Her mind was racing.
Keeping Lily's father a secret forever was impossible. The girl was smart; she would eventually connect the dots. If Lily ever saw footage of Sebastian and Seraphina together, how was Raelynn supposed to explain it without shattering her innocent view of the world?
Since Sebastian was dead set on appearing on camera, Raelynn certainly wasn't going to stick around to watch them playing the devoted lovers.
Raelynn ignored them and tried to walk past.
Blanche suddenly spoke up. "Oh, you're still here. I heard from Sera that you actually begged Sebastian not to appear on camera with her?"
Raelynn stopped and looked over.
Blanche smiled sweetly. "I was actually worried that having Sebastian and Sera on screen together while you were sidelined might be a bit too cruel. Watching them be so in love must hurt. But, as it turns out, your father had an urgent business matter and needed Sebastian's advice. Sebastian prioritized your family's needs and left to help your dad. That must make you feel a bit better, right?"
Blanche feigned a sudden realization and quickly added, "Oh, feel free to ignore what I just said. Just tell yourself he left because you begged him to. Whatever helps you sleep at night."
Raelynn didn't need the reminder.
If Sebastian actually cared about her feelings, they wouldn't be standing on the edge of a divorce right now.
Blanche continued in a tone dripping with fake sympathy.
"We're all women here, Raelynn. Surely you don't have the heart to stand in the way of true love? Sebastian is too polite to say it to your face, but if you gracefully step aside for your sister, he'll definitely remember your kindness."

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!...
