Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 297
The little girl was upset.
If she hadn't fought to protect her headband, her mom wouldn't have been so scared and almost gotten hurt.
Lily cast a guilty look at Sebastian, whose white shirt was stained crimson with wine and blood.
"This isn't your fault, sweetie. You didn't push the table," Raelynn told her firmly, making sure every word was loud and clear.
Her pointed remark clearly hit a nerve.
Seraphina glared at her coldly. "You dragged Sebastian down with you just to save your own skin!"
Ian's eyes frosted over at the accusation.
Knowing things were about to get ugly, he gave Raelynn a reassuring nod and covered Lily's ears.
Raelynn thought she had misheard.
She turned and met Seraphina's icy stare.
The surrounding guests were finally recovering from the shock.
They had all been terrified.
A towering glass display crashing down was no joke.
And Seraphina's loud accusation snapped them out of their bewilderment over why Sebastian Croix had risked his life to shield a random woman.
So Raelynn had grabbed him and used him as a human shield? That explained the dramatic rescue they had just witnessed.
The sweet smile was gone from Seraphina's face, replaced by burning indignation. "You literally ripped his clothes! Do you really have to drag innocent people down with you just to save yourself?"
At her words, the crowd stared.
It was true—the front of Sebastian's shirt was crumpled and violently bunched up.
But the situation was incredibly awkward for the onlookers.
On one side was Mr. Croix's girlfriend; on the other was Mr. Hudson's new flame. Offending either woman was a terrible idea.
Noticing the crowd's attention, Seraphina softened her tone, adopting an air of magnanimous grace. "Sebastian was standing right next to me. He was about to pull me to safety, but you panicked and grabbed him first, leaving me directly in the line of fire. But that's fine. It was an accident, and I'm just glad no one was seriously hurt. However, Raelynn, instead of being grateful, you're trying to shift the blame onto someone else. Don't you think that's incredibly low?"
Raelynn had just loudly declared that it wasn't Lily's fault.
"I will cover it."
Finally.
A deep, gravelly voice cut through the tension. Its deadpan calmness made Raelynn's heart sink.
Everyone turned to look.
Sebastian was still leaning heavily against the sofa, clearly injured, his white shirt thoroughly soaked in red wine. His pitch-black eyes slowly met Raelynn's. "I will take full financial responsibility for the damages today. Croix Holdings will also cover all future promotional costs for the venue."
One single sentence.
Extinguished every ounce of conflict in the room.
Meeting his gaze felt like getting splashed with battery acid.
The moment she had backed Seraphina into a corner, Sebastian stepped up as her ultimate shield.
Seraphina looked at him, overwhelmed with gratitude and tender affection. She shot Raelynn a sideways glance, her eyes radiating triumphant smugness.
"Are you satisfied with that answer, Raelynn?" she asked with a sweet smile.

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!...
