Lily would often look at her with those exact same eyes, sweetly calling her Mommy.
Seraphina stared at the conscious child, pressing her lips together tightly before shooting a grim look at Raelynn.
She knew Raelynn had done grunt work in the ER for a few years, but her skills had to be limited.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been stuck in that dead-end job with no promotions or growth.
But right now...
It looked as if Raelynn was the one who had saved the girl.
Where did that leave her?
Seraphina frowned, staying quiet.
Standing behind Sebastian, his assistant, Quinn, instantly read the look on Seraphina's face.
He quickly checked his boss's indifferent expression and, ever the opportunist, spoke up on Sebastian's behalf. "Thank goodness for Ms. Vance's extensive experience. It looks like the treatment she applied earlier just had a delayed effect."
Quinn had been working for Sebastian for years.
He obviously knew who Raelynn was.
But so what?
Mr. Croix had never cared about Raelynn anyway.
Why let Raelynn steal Ms. Vance's spotlight?
Hearing that, Seraphina raised an eyebrow.
Her smiling eyes drifted to Sebastian's handsome face. She knew Quinn was Sebastian's most trusted confidant, which meant Quinn's words reflected Sebastian's will.
Sebastian remained completely unreadable, making no move to stop Quinn from speaking.
He didn't even glance at Raelynn.
It looked like silent permission, a complete endorsement.
Seeing Sebastian's cold reaction, Leo was highly amused.
He threw a laughing look at Raelynn, who was still kneeling awkwardly on the ground.
Raelynn had been scrambling around for nothing; it was all entirely useless.
A real doctor didn't save lives for the applause.
She certainly wasn't going to waste her energy listening to them kiss Seraphina's ass.
The winter air in Kingsford was biting.
Raelynn quickly grabbed the child's shoes and socks and carefully put them back on, meticulously tucking her pants into her socks to keep out the cold. Her movements were incredibly practiced and smooth.
Crying tears of joy, the young mother stared at Raelynn's face and couldn't help but ask, "Are you married? Do you have kids? Because you're better at taking care of her than I am."
That single sentence.
Raelynn's spine stiffened instantly.
Alarm bells shrieked in her head, and the hairs on her arms stood on end.
She could feel a probing gaze locking onto her from behind.
Standing not too far away, Sebastian had heard the question clearly.
His deep, piercing eyes cut through the crowd, landing intently on the back of Raelynn's head.

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!...
