Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 21
Seraphina had already walked right up to Sebastian, slipping into the space beside him with an ease that made her look more like his rightful wife than Raelynn ever had. "I'm starving. Let's find a restaurant first."
Sebastian pulled his gaze away.
He didn't pay much mind to the frantic mother's comment from a moment ago.
After all, he knew perfectly well that Raelynn had never had a child.
The only kids she ever interacted with were patients in the emergency room.
"Alright," Sebastian said, his voice cool and deep. His peripheral vision swept over Raelynn without a single ripple of emotion.
Then, ever the gentleman, he opened the car door for Seraphina.
Every move they made drew the attention of the crowd. Everyone watched with sheer envy, wishing they could be the one so carefully and tenderly looked after by the CEO of Croix Holdings.
The group drove off in a grand procession.
Raelynn let out a massive, shaky breath.
She couldn't even bring herself to care about how blatantly Sebastian and Seraphina were flaunting their relationship right now.
All that was left in her chest was a bone-chilling, lingering panic.
Of course she was panicked.
She had nearly exposed Lily's existence. Thank God Sebastian hadn't suspected a thing.
For these last three months, she couldn't afford to let her guard down for even a second.
As long as she made it through these three months and had that official divorce certificate in her hand, she would be safe.
By then, even if Sebastian found out about Lily, there was nothing he could do.
She had to ensure this divorce went through without a hitch.
The divorce papers were already signed, and while there weren't any major issues with them, still...
Raelynn lowered her eyes in deep thought. When it came to Lily, she needed to set up a few more layers of protection just to be safe.
Once the mother and her child were safely loaded into the ambulance, Preston Moreno came out.
"What just happened?" Preston asked, grabbing Raelynn and stealthily slipping out through the car door to dodge the swarm of reporters.
Raelynn didn't mention the spectacle with Sebastian and Seraphina. She just gave him the cliff notes about saving a kid.
Preston found it highly amusing. "If they knew the person who just saved that kid's life was the foremost expert in traditional holistic medicine and the mastermind behind Digi-Medica, they'd think they hit the absolute jackpot."
Raelynn just smiled and shrugged.
"That's ancient history."
Preston reached over and lightly flicked the top of her head. "You single-handedly took NexusMind Technologies public. Do you have any idea how many people would kill just to get a meeting with you? Not to mention you're the sole protégé of Professor Alistair Finch, the country’s leading medical authority. When you act modest, it just sounds like a humblebrag, you know that?"
Even though little Lily had grown up without the love of her biological father, she was surrounded by people who adored her.
Thankfully, that man had stepped in back then, giving Lily a legitimate name and a perfectly normal identity that wouldn't draw any suspicion.
Later on, Professor Finch had practically co-raised her, treating Lily entirely like his own flesh-and-blood granddaughter.
Raelynn always felt that Lily was a little girl who had never lacked for love.
As for Sebastian, her actual father? Raelynn didn't think he was important at all.
"Got a kindergarten lined up?"
"I'm looking into a few now. Should have it locked down before the holidays." Raelynn smiled as she thought about the bright future ahead.
Her new life was finally on track.
She loved everything about where she was right now.
She was no longer the pathetic woman waiting around, begging for scraps of warmth and salvation from someone else just to survive.
Relying on someone else meant that the moment they pulled away, it completely gutted you.
In this world, you could only ever be your own savior.
Preston still looked a bit concerned. "You sure there won't be any blowback from the Croix family?"

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!...
