She didn't explain who the actual parents were.
The parents were both right there.
He was just busy playing the role of a free dad to someone else's kid.
Sebastian didn't respond to Raelynn's excuse.
He just continued to stare thoughtfully at Lily.
His intense focus on Lily made Raelynn incredibly uncomfortable.
Alarm bells rang wildly in her head. Not giving him the chance to ask anything else, she led Lily straight into the classroom.
The classroom was spacious, with a large clearing in the middle for interactive games.
Raelynn purposely took Lily to the farthest corner she could find.
Thankfully, Shane was clinging to Sebastian like glue.
Sebastian had no time to pay attention to her and Lily.
Raelynn finally had a moment to breathe a sigh of relief.
During the games portion.
From within the crowd, Raelynn spotted Sebastian in the center of the room. Despite Shane's large and heavy build, Sebastian effortlessly picked him up to complete the activities.
Seraphina stood nearby, laughing and cheering them on.
Looking exactly like a gentle mother and wife.
Anyone looking would think they were a blissfully happy family.
The mothers surrounding Seraphina cast envious glances her way, showering her with endless praise. "Your husband is so patient with your child, and he's so strikingly handsome. I thought he was a movie star."
A deep smile reached Seraphina's eyes. "Oh, him? He's definitely very responsible."
She didn't deny the word "husband."
Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Raelynn in the crowd.
Tilting her chin up slightly, a fleeting sneer crossed her lips.
Shane ran over, staring at Lily, and immediately burst into laughter. "Did your parents not even come to keep you company? You're so pathetic. Do you not have a dad?"
At those words, Lily's little face flushed red. A flash of confusion and hurt crossed her innocent eyes.
But she instinctively grasped Raelynn's hand. "I don't need a dad. I just need my mom."
Shane mocked her even more brazenly. "So that means you don't have one! Then what's the difference between you and an orphan? Nobody's going to protect you. Not like me. Today, I'm the happiest kid in The Elite Kindergarten."
Lily's face went blank. Even though her eyes were red, she didn't cry or throw a tantrum.
Raelynn couldn't fathom how the Vance family had spoiled this little brat into such a monster.
The word "orphan" pierced right through the defensive walls she had built around her heart.
And yet.
Her daughter's father was entirely devoted to someone else.
Raelynn's face turned icy. She stared at Shane, using a threatening tone that never failed to scare children. "If you ever dare to bully Lily again, I'm going to tell every single kid in this kindergarten that your sister is a thief who steals other people's husbands. And since you're the brother of a thief, everyone will despise you and spit on you. You'll be isolated, and no one will ever like you again."

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!...
