Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 223
Shane was instantly terrified.
His chubby face flushed bright red as he quickly looked around.
Making sure no other kids had heard.
Raelynn almost laughed.
See?
Never mind the excuse that a child didn't know better. He knew exactly how indefensible his sister's actions were, and he knew it was shameful.
"Raelynn! Is it really necessary to talk to a child like that? Does bullying a kid give you a sense of achievement?" Seraphina walked over just in time to hear, her face cold with reprimand.
Sebastian lifted his gaze and looked in their direction.
"Oh," Raelynn scoffed. "If you keep shouting, the whole school will know you're perfectly happy being someone's mistress."
Seraphina's lips tightened.
She frowned in displeasure.
Raelynn was so blinded by jealousy that she would say absolutely anything.
At the same time, Raelynn felt Sebastian's intense stare on her.
Dark and impenetrable.
She knew perfectly well that even if she announced on the spot that she was Mrs. Croix, Sebastian wouldn't acknowledge it. Instead, he would side with Seraphina and humiliate her. She had at least that much self-awareness.
Without another word, she grabbed Lily's hand and walked away.
Lily cooperated entirely, striding away with authority. Her small face was tense and serious, refusing to spare them a single glance.
Out of the corner of his eye, Sebastian caught a glimpse of Lily's small retreating figure.
He paused for a few seconds.
-
The kindergarten was crowded today.
Afraid that Lily might be thirsty, Raelynn told her to wait on a chair while she went to fetch her thermos from the cubby.
The moment Raelynn left.
Sebastian stepped out of the classroom.
He had just taken an unexpected work call.
After ending the call.
He noticed Lily sitting quietly in the hallway, head bowed as she played with her little Rubik's Cube.
His long legs halted without reason.
Changing direction, he walked over and stopped in front of her.
That actually stumped him.
"Because Ms. Ortiz and I are acquaintances."
A string of questions popped into Lily's small head. She tilted her head and asked the most puzzling one of all. "If you're acquaintances, why didn't you stand up for us when that woman and Shane were bullying us?"
Sebastian was genuinely surprised.
The child was incredibly quick-witted and knew exactly how to get straight to the point, despite her young age.
He slowly arched his brow. "She didn't tell me she needed my help."
Lily solved the final piece of the Rubik's Cube, curled her lip, and mumbled, "She said that candy you have to beg for never tastes sweet. It's better not to eat it at all."
The answer made Sebastian's gaze darken considerably.
He stared at Lily's excessively delicate and beautiful face.
"Can I ask you another question?"
"I might choose not to answer."
He was amazed that such a small child could be so assertive.
He narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Who are your parents?"

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!...
