"That girl is the little heiress of the Hudson family. They're on par with us—South Hudson, North Croix. She's a lucky child, though I don't know which branch of the Hudson Clan she belongs to."
Seraphina instinctively glanced at Shane.
She would have to warn Shane not to mess with that little girl and risk offending the Hudson Clan.
"I'm not sure."
Sebastian narrowed his eyes slightly.
He had just asked her, but the little girl hadn't given him a single piece of useful information.
She looked young, but her guard was completely up.
Incredibly smart.
Seraphina didn't give someone else's child a second thought.
What did it have to do with them?
Thinking of something else, a bright smile spread across her face as she suddenly asked, "Sebastian, out of the hotels I sent you, did you have a favorite?"
Sebastian thought for a moment. "Just let Quinn handle the arrangements."

"Are you close with that man from earlier?" Lily asked after Raelynn had carried her for a while. She patted Raelynn's shoulder, signaling that she could walk on her own.
Raelynn set her down. "...I suppose."
She genuinely didn't know how to answer that question.
She didn't want to lie to Lily, making her answer sound incredibly strained.
Lily looked thoughtful. "He seemed really curious about me. He even asked about my parents."
A sudden wave of panic rushed over Raelynn.
Because she knew exactly how sharp Sebastian was.
The man only needed a single thread to unravel the entire tapestry.
She hastily grabbed Lily's shoulders. "How did you answer?"
Lily scoffed, her large, beautifully creased eyes shining and the sweet dimples appearing on her cheeks. "I didn't tell him a thing. That's private, and I barely even know him."
The little one looked utterly triumphant.
Raelynn finally let out a heavy sigh of relief.
And the Hudsons might just hand her over as a favor to the Croix family.
Trading a child for a long-lasting corporate alliance between the two powerhouses.
The Custody Waiver Agreement she tricked Sebastian into signing would only be legally binding once Lily was back under her name. Otherwise, it was just a useless piece of paper.
Therefore, she needed to ensure Lily was legally hers as soon as possible.
As a mother, she had to consider every single possibility.
There was far too much she had to meticulously execute step by step.
Thinking of this.
Raelynn anxiously sent a voice message to Ian, who was currently overseas.
"Mr. Hudson, can you come back to the country early? Regarding Lily, I want to transfer her to my name as soon as possible."
She had only met Ian through Chloe.
She didn't exactly know him inside and out.
Let alone guarantee that he would firmly defend her maternal rights.

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!...
