Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 376
At formal events like this, seating arrangements were never trivial; they were a direct reflection of status and power.
Leo genuinely believed Raelynn lacked the qualifications to occupy such a prestigious spot.
After all, they knew her background. How exactly was a nobody with zero accomplishments going to introduce herself?
Raelynn was fully aware of the thinly veiled disdain and doubt radiating from Leo.
He thought she was entirely unworthy of the chair.
"As for Seraphina," Leo continued, glancing from Raelynn back to Preston, "she is a Kingsford alumna and easily qualifies as an honorary guest. More importantly, she's attending today as Sebastian's plus-one. It's only right they sit together. I think Raelynn's card must have been misplaced by mistake."
A mistake was the only logical explanation his mind could conjure.
Leo's defense brought a wave of relief to Seraphina's embarrassed face.
When Preston was raising hell about it a moment ago, she had panicked, but now she felt justified. It probably was just a mix-up.
Julian remained silent.
He had zero interest in their petty seating drama. He was only curious about one thing: if Raelynn cared so much about sitting here, it meant she still cared about Sebastian.
But if that was true.
How much sincerity could she possibly have for Ian Hudson?
"Mr. Moreno, the event is about to begin. There's no point in arguing over this. Sebastian doesn't mind me sitting here, so why should you?" Seraphina smiled.
She was now entirely convinced the card had been placed there in error.
She was Sebastian's official date. It only made sense for the university to seat them side-by-side.
Or perhaps.
Raelynn had snuck in early and swapped the cards herself just to cause trouble.
Raelynn no longer felt any anger toward them. Whenever she spoke, they plugged their ears. Whenever she acted, they covered their eyes. They viewed her through a lens of monumental prejudice that nothing could shatter.
However.
A panicked Kingsford staff member rushed over. Seraphina offered him a gracious smile. "Hello there. There was a mix-up with the seating here, wasn't there?"
She wanted him to confirm that Raelynn had maliciously swapped the cards.
As the staff member approached, his eyes widened in horror when he saw Raelynn's name card banished to the back rows.
He scrambled to retrieve it, gently placing it back beside Sebastian. In one fluid motion, he snatched Seraphina's card and banished it to the rear table.
Completely ignoring the way Seraphina's face instantly froze, he turned to Raelynn with a deeply apologetic bow. "Mrs. Croix, I am so incredibly sorry. Someone must have carelessly moved things around. You are absolutely supposed to be in the front row, right next to Professor Adrian Moreno. The administration gave me strict orders that your designated seat was not to be touched."
The staff member's unexpected and overwhelmingly respectful apology.
Instantly shattered the composure of everyone standing there.
Sebastian, who had remained silently seated through the entire verbal war, slowly lifted his gaze. Crossing his long legs, his dark, bottomless eyes locked onto Raelynn.
Whatever thoughts were turning in his mind remained hidden as he finally spoke in a quiet, even tone. "Then take your seat."

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!...
