Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 395

Who was she supposed to bring?

The Matriarch glanced at Sebastian, but he looked entirely unfazed.

His wife had just announced she loved another man, and he didn't even bat an eye!

Clearly, this negotiation had hit a dead end.

Waiting for Matilda to walk ahead, Raelynn stepped up to Sebastian. Just as he was about to follow the old woman, she reached out and grabbed the edge of his sleeve.

Sebastian glanced down at her fingers gripping his cuff.

Assuming he was disgusted by her touch now that he was saving himself for Seraphina, she quickly let go. "The divorce certificate. When are you giving it back to me?"

She was practically demanding it to his face.

Her stubborn determination radiated from her very bones.

Raelynn laid out the logic for him. "If you finalize the paperwork now, you can officially give Seraphina the title before Cameron is released next month. It locks everything in place and saves you a massive headache, doesn't it?"

Sebastian stared down at her for a long moment before replying in an eerily calm tone. "You're certainly thinking ahead for my sake."

She didn't care about his sarcasm. "Give me an exact date."

But before he could answer.

He suddenly grabbed her arm, yanking her violently against his chest while swinging his other arm out in a sweeping arc.

A basketball hurtling straight toward the back of her head was swatted fiercely away.

It ricocheted and smashed into a display table holding an antique porcelain vase.

The priceless artifact shattered into a thousand pieces with a deafening crash.

Raelynn flinched at the noise. Whipping her head around, she saw thirteen-year-old Stephen Croix standing there, looking absolutely terrified by his older brother's icy glare. He didn't even dare run to fetch his ball.

He had just wanted to play a prank and mess with Raelynn...

It wasn't like a basketball would kill her...

Raelynn knew Stephen was horribly spoiled, but her attention shifted to Sebastian's large hand still wrapped firmly around her arm.

Before she could pull away.

Seraphina's voice rang out from the hallway. "Seb?"

The very second he heard her voice, Sebastian dropped Raelynn's arm like it burned him. Without so much as a second glance in her direction, he strode straight toward Seraphina, brushing off the incident as if it meant absolutely nothing.

He was so eager to maintain his boundaries.

As Seraphina turned to walk away, she shot Raelynn a venomous glare.

Raelynn ignored her, glancing instead at the ruined antique vase on the floor.

In the blink of an eye, millions of dollars had just turned to dust.

Her sheer, unadulterated arrogance was blinding.

A thick lump formed in Raelynn's throat.

She never in a million years thought they would invite Seraphina to stay the night...

Every single person in the Croix family knew Seraphina was the homewrecker who destroyed her marriage, yet they actively encouraged it.

Catching Raelynn's reaction in her peripheral vision, Seraphina turned a sweet, gentle smile toward Sebastian. "Seb, is that okay with you?"

Sebastian slowly looked up.

In the fraction of a second before he answered.

A dozen pairs of eyes around the grand dining table zeroed in on him.

Because if Sebastian said yes, he would be personally tearing out Raelynn's heart and shredding whatever dignity she had left.

But before he could utter a word.

The phone on the table next to his plate erupted in a harsh ring.

Sebastian glanced at the caller ID, leaned lazily back in his chair, and swiped to answer, completely ignoring Seraphina's question.

Assistant Quinn's panicked voice blasted through the receiver, laced with absolute urgency. "Boss, we have a catastrophic situation. Ms. Vance's machine... it caused a severe medical accident."
