"A brilliant prodigy and a titan of industry—they're a match made in heaven!"
"To think a man as powerful as Mr. Croix came to pick up his wife in person. They're so in love; it's honestly making me jealous."
The voices were loud, drilling straight into Raelynn's ears. She didn't want to listen, but she couldn't help reflecting on the past.
In their seven years of marriage, had Sebastian ever picked her up from work?
Had they ever attended a public event together?
Had he ever publicly acknowledged her as his wife?
Indeed... never.
And now, she was watching Sebastian grant all those special privileges to another woman.
From the corner of her eye, Seraphina noticed Raelynn being forced to watch from the sidelines.
Regarding the questions about being "Mrs. Croix," she offered no denial.
She simply smiled warmly at Sebastian as he approached.
Sebastian met her gentle smile and gave a faint smirk in response.
A young woman in the crowd immediately covered her face and squealed, "Oh my God! They are so real!"
Seraphina heard it too, and her smile widened.
She casually looped her arm through Sebastian's and spoke with graceful poise. "I'm so sorry, everyone, but we have dinner reservations. That concludes the interviews for today."
Sebastian had obviously heard the crowd calling Seraphina his wife.
He didn't go out of his way to confirm it.
But he certainly made no effort to deny it, either. Seeing the crush of people, he raised an arm to shield Seraphina, keeping her safe within his orbit.
He gave a sharp nod, his voice low but commanding. "Please watch your surroundings and avoid pushing anyone."
Looking at this picture-perfect couple.
Raelynn profoundly felt Seraphina's total confidence.
Even with the legal wife watching, she didn't flinch.
Because she had the absolute certainty of being his favorite.
She wasn't worried that Raelynn would rush up and shatter the illusion, because Sebastian would never let Seraphina be humiliated.
If anything, Raelynn looked like the clueless third wheel forcing her way between them.
Even though they were about to divorce.
The bystanders instantly turned on Raelynn: "Yeah, the kid's dying, stop getting in the way!"
"Miss, you clearly have no idea, but Ms. Vance is a top medical graduate. And she's Mr. Croix's girlfriend—wait, I mean wife! Regular people can't compare to her. Don't block her way."
The comments almost made Raelynn laugh.
Was she supposed to join the crowd and cheer for how perfect they were together?
Clamping a hand over her waist to manage the sharp pain, Raelynn cast a freezing glare at Seraphina, who was now kneeling in front of the child, doing a basic examination.
The mother was out of her mind with panic, crying so hard she could barely hold the little girl.
Sebastian stood at the edge of the crowd.
His gaze flicked over her, but he didn't step forward.
Raelynn knew he had seen her get shoved to the ground.
But since he couldn't care less about her, he obviously wasn't going to lend a hand.
He was just a spectator.
She didn't expect an ounce of pity from her soon-to-be ex-husband anyway, so she pushed herself up off the pavement.

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!...
