Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 298
It was the attitude of a woman who knew she was untouchable.
It made Raelynn's aggressive demands look like the ravings of a bitter clown.
After all, Seraphina had a billionaire shielding her.
A mocking sneer touched the corner of Raelynn's eyes.
She slowly looked at Sebastian, who seemed to sense her gaze, locking eyes with her once again.
It was in this exact moment that Raelynn finally understood.
His heroic dive to save her earlier hadn't been an act of love or special treatment. It was merely the primal instinct of a man protecting a woman in danger. Any stranger would have done the same, let alone a man she had been married to for seven years.
That was an unconscious reflex.
But this—stepping in without a second thought to throw millions of dollars at the venue owner just to save Seraphina from embarrassment—this was intentional. This was a deliberate, calculated act of extreme favoritism.
It fueled Seraphina's arrogance.
Raelynn didn't know what to say.
Any comeback would just look like a desperate attempt to save face.
"Mr. Croix is simply paying for the destruction caused by Ms. Vance's brother. Reimbursing damages is basic common decency. I highly doubt Ms. Vance would mistake a man cleaning up her mess for a romantic gesture," Ian said as he slowly walked over.
Lily was holding his hand.
As he walked, he unbuttoned his suit jacket, slipped it off, and draped it over Raelynn's shivering shoulders.
Raelynn snapped out of her daze. She had been splashed with wine as well. She nodded at him. "Thank you."
Ian's words pierced right through Seraphina, causing her triumphant smile to stiffen.
She felt like he was mocking her.
But if she argued back, it would just make her look petty and classless.
Yet Ian's face gave away absolutely nothing.
Sebastian lowered his gaze to the little girl standing next to Ian and remained silent.
Raelynn was half a second away from kicking the kid across the room.
But someone else was faster.
A large hand grabbed Shane by the collar, hauling him back.
She looked over.
It was Sebastian. He looked down at the boy with an expressionless face. "Go change your clothes with your sister."
Terrified by Sebastian's freezing gaze, Shane didn't dare act out again. He quickly scurried over and grabbed Seraphina's hand.
Seraphina was stunned that Sebastian had scolded her brother to protect another man's kid. Her face tightened, but she quickly rationalized it. They were in public; he had to play the fair peacekeeper.
Raelynn was surprised as well.
Ian picked Lily up, locking eyes with Sebastian. "Thank you, Mr. Croix, for stepping in for my daughter."
"My daughter." He said it so naturally. Sebastian held Ian's gaze, neither man giving an inch.

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!...
