Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 28

She just needed two seconds. She had never asked for too much.

Clearly frantic over the absolute world-ending crisis of Seraphina spraining her ankle.

Sebastian obviously didn't have the time or the care to scrutinize the back pages of her document anymore.

He shot a furious, irritated look at Raelynn for refusing to back down.

Finally, he grabbed the pen and violently slashed his signature across the page she held open.

His handwriting was a sharp, aggressive scrawl that practically cut through the paper—bold, dangerous, and uniquely his.

But as Raelynn watched every stroke of the pen hit the paper, her heart began hammering out of her chest in pure victory.

"Are we done here?"

Sebastian slammed the cap back onto the pen, practically daring her to try and waste another second of his time.

The question was heavy with accusation.

Raelynn couldn't care less if he thought she was just acting out to fight for his attention.

She smoothly snatched the agreement back.

This time, she looked up at him and offered a breathtaking, genuinely radiant smile.

"We're done."

Seeing that bright, unbothered expression on her face, Sebastian's eyes narrowed. He stared at her for several long seconds.

Raelynn didn't flinch away from his bottomless, piercing gaze. With total sincerity, she said, "Thank you."

But she didn't even get to finish her sentence.

The man standing in front of her was already gone.

He stormed out without ever looking back.

All his panic strictly reserved for Seraphina's sprained ankle.

Raelynn's expression didn't change.

She just stood there in the empty office, staring at the door that had opened and closed.

Her voice dropped to a whisper only she could hear, "And congratulations—"

Thank you for always picking Seraphina when it counted.

For being too rushed to realize you just signed a Voluntary Relinquishment of Custody.

Sebastian's blind, unwavering obsession with Seraphina had transformed from the poison that was killing her into the exact cure she needed to escape.

And congratulations to him.

Because in his desperate rush to play knight in shining armor for another woman... he had just permanently signed away his own child.

The very behavior that once gutted her had just handed her the ultimate get-out-of-jail-free card.

The guillotine hovering over her neck had finally been lifted.

The second the divorce was finalized, this custody agreement went into effect.

How could she not thank him for that?

The moment Sebastian was gone.

Raelynn didn't waste another second. She hopped on the elevator and headed straight down.

-

With the custody agreement secured, Raelynn's mood was visibly soaring.

She was officially starting her new role at NexusMind on Monday.

Which gave her two gloriously free days to relax.

She spent an entire day dragging Chloe around to luxury home goods stores, buying tons of decor and furniture.

She also spent some time scouting high-end, standalone villas in Kingsford.

Even though she had used 'buying a house' as a lie for Sebastian, she fully intended to actually buy a gorgeous place for her grandfather, who was currently in a nursing home.

It would be the perfect place for Lily to live and keep him company when she arrived.

Chloe knew absolutely everyone in the real estate game and quickly tracked down a flawless property with top-tier security and amenities.

Telling Sebastian she needed a mortgage was obviously a lie too.

She was one of the core founders who had taken NexusMind public, after all. She wasn't exactly hurting for cash.

Once she settled on the house, Raelynn effortlessly wired a two-million-dollar deposit.

Late that evening.

An electronic ticket popped into her phone.

It was sent by Grandma Matilda's staff.

"Lynnie, I've picked out a few fantastic young men for you. Are you free tonight? Go meet them. It's at this VIP club; here's your digital pass."
