Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 293
Raelynn couldn't help but let out a quiet scoff at the sheer manipulation in those words.
It was certainly designed to let people's imaginations run wild.
Sure enough, someone took the bait. "Does that mean we'll be hearing wedding bells soon? Are you planning to have kids?"
Seraphina gave a sweet, playful smile. "Oh, stop teasing us."
She cast a fleeting, deliberate glance at Raelynn. "My career is going to be very demanding lately. You might not know, but I've set up an independent project team at Longstride Technologies. I need to be completely focused on my work. Personal matters will have to wait, and I know the people by my side will be understanding."
A wave of envy rippled through the crowd.
They instantly caught the implication in Seraphina's words. "Mr. Croix treats Ms. Vance so well. He always puts her first."
"In other words, they're so secure in their relationship that Ms. Vance can throw herself into her career without a second thought. That's the ultimate confidence of a woman who knows she is deeply loved."
When women gathered, the gossip naturally drifted in this direction.
Seraphina didn't deny it, her smile radiant.
Raelynn wasn't stupid; she understood the hidden message perfectly.
Sebastian was willing to wait until her career was settled before discussing marriage.
She turned her head.
And unexpectedly locked eyes with Sebastian.
He hadn't joined the conversation, nor had he bothered to deny anything.
It was as if he hadn't caught Seraphina's hints at all—or worse, he had, and was actively indulging her.
Raelynn immediately looked away, turning to Ian. "Should we go walk around?"
Ian nodded. He had zero interest in their messy drama either.
Seraphina caught them leaving out of the corner of her eye. She glanced at Sebastian and noticed he merely gave them a brief look before turning away, completely unbothered by Raelynn parading around with another man right in front of him. Seraphina raised an eyebrow and smiled.
A man of Ian's status couldn't possibly be genuinely interested in a divorced woman like Raelynn.
There was only one logical explanation: he was looking for an obedient stepmother for his daughter, and Raelynn's standards were rock bottom.
She was clearly still keeping him at arm's length. Ian noticed it but didn't force the issue. He simply said, "She's my daughter too, Raelynn. I adore her just as much as you do."
Raelynn froze.
The remark left her completely unsure of how to respond.
Luckily.
Lily came jogging back, clutching three identical LinaBell headbands. She handed one to each of them. "Family headbands! Let's all wear them together!"
Raelynn looked at the fluffy pink headband, then at Ian's cold, handsome face. The contrast was far too jarring. She quickly bent down. "Sweetie, how about we pick a different style?"
Ian didn't mind at all. He stretched the headband with both hands and slid it onto his head. "No need. As long as Lily likes it."
Lily's eyes curved into happy little crescents.
She looked at Raelynn proudly. "Look, Mommy, Daddy loves it! Put yours on too!"
But that sudden, loud 'Mommy' caused Sebastian, who was just walking past, to stop dead in his tracks.

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!...
