Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 309

Soon, everyone had drawn their lots.

When the results were announced, Raelynn stared down at the number '1' in her hand, and then at the matching '1' resting in Sebastian's palm.

A heavy silence fell over her.

The atmosphere instantly froze.

The smile vanished from Seraphina's face, replaced by a look of sheer disbelief.

Even Leo and Luke looked stunned.

Leo, in particular, turned directly to Raelynn. "Tell you what. Why don't you switch with Sera? Let her team up with Seb, and you can partner with Mr. Sterling."

His commanding tone made Raelynn, who had initially dreaded the pairing, let out a harsh laugh.

Why the hell should she?

Chloe was furious. "Then why bother drawing lots at all? Why not just assign teams directly? Just pair up the illicit lovers and be done with it!"

How dare they openly pressure Raelynn like this?

Who exactly was the actual wife here?

Chloe was practically breathing fire, ready to defend Raelynn to the bitter end.

Though deeply frustrated, Seraphina knew she couldn't afford to look aggressive in public. Lifting her chin, she said, "Seb, it looks like we're competing then. Don't go easy on me."

She completely ignored Leo and Chloe's remarks, addressing Sebastian directly. It made her look entirely unfazed by the pairing, while also allowing her to flirt with him in front of everyone.

Sebastian lifted his gaze, his voice slow and casual. "Alright."

In that brief moment.

What was supposed to be a tragic separation of a perfect couple had somehow morphed into a public display of affection.

Raelynn's eyes were as cold as ice. She turned on her heel and walked over to the rack holding the bows.

Luke frowned deeply. He hadn't expected this outcome. He knew Raelynn still harbored feelings for Sebastian, and seeing them paired up filled him with anxiety. He was terrified this forced proximity would reignite her feelings.

He shot Julian a dark look.

Julian was equally annoyed.

He never anticipated that accidental bump would ruin his rigged setup. Otherwise, the outcome would have been entirely different.

The teams got into position. The targets, set hundreds of feet away, were moving.

Raelynn wasn't highly skilled at archery. She had only tagged along with Chloe to the club a few times and was an amateur at best.

Raelynn froze instantly.

He was tall, his breath grazing the top of her ear. The faint scent of cedarwood was mixed with the lingering traces of medicine and antiseptic.

The medicinal scent was a stark reminder that he was still far from fully recovered.

Raelynn furrowed her brow.

Sebastian glanced down at her. "Focus."

Before she could even react, he guided her hands, raising her arm and releasing the arrow in one smooth, decisive motion.

A perfect bullseye.

Fierce and flawlessly accurate.

The entire sequence lasted mere seconds.

But the sight of him wrapping his arms around her to guide her shot did not go unnoticed.

Having been married to him for years, Raelynn wasn't completely flustered by the physical contact, but she absolutely refused to share an intimate moment with him right now. Just as she was about to shove him away.

Seraphina's sharp, reprimanding voice cut through the air behind them. "The arrow hit the target. Could you stop throwing yourself at Seb and back away from him now?"
