Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 458
Sebastian Croix stared at Raelynn Ortiz from the edge of the crowd.
A terrifying storm seemed to brew in his dark eyes. His knuckles turned white as he gripped his phone tighter and tighter.
His flawless, stoic face was devoid of warmth, as if he had just stepped into a freezing abyss.
Slowly, he lowered his head.
He looked at the phone screen again.
The cheerful chatter and laughter around him faded into a surreal buzz.
In the photo, Raelynn glowed with maternal radiance. Back then, her hair had been cut to her collarbones.
In all the years he had known her.
She had only worn her hair at that length for two years.
He could pinpoint the exact year the photo was taken just by looking at her hairstyle.
The swollen belly beneath her hospital gown was impossible to ignore—she had been in the final stages of pregnancy.
He swiped back.
To the slightly blurry Critical Condition Notice for postpartum hemorrhage. The name of the family member who had signed it was cut out of the frame.
"Sebastian?" Seraphina Vance noticed him standing there, his head bowed and radiating an unspeakable, chilling sharpness.
Julian also looked over. "What's wrong? An issue at the company?"
Just as he spoke.
Leo Flynn, who had been keeping an eye on Raelynn and Ian Hudson, suddenly spoke up. "Is Raelynn actually going to accept Mrs. Hudson's dowry gift?"
Seraphina and Julian turned to look.
Cordelia Hudson didn't mind offering the gift publicly in the slightest.
She looked at Raelynn with eager affection. "This jewelry doesn't quite suit me anymore. It truly belongs on a beautiful young woman like you."
Raelynn understood Cordelia's underlying message.
The older woman was incredibly fond of her.
This wasn't just a gift; it was a family heirloom meant for a future daughter-in-law.
If she could grasp that.
The shrewd socialites watching the exchange clearly understood it, too.
In an instant.
Countless gazes drifted uncontrollably toward the tall, imposing figure of Sebastian Croix.
Expressions of sympathetic gossip filled the room.
Given the recent exposure of their actual marriage, many also cast side glances at Seraphina.
Everyone knew the tangled web between them all.
He shot Seraphina a glance and couldn't help but frown.
A second later.
Sebastian moved. He lifted his head and smoothly pulled his arm out of Seraphina's grasp.
She froze.
Across the room.
Ian saw right through his mother's intentions.
He also knew it was putting Raelynn in a difficult spot.
Stepping forward, he smoothly intercepted the jewelry box. "Mom, let's not overwhelm her right now. I'll hold on to this for you."
He effortlessly broke the awkward tension.
Raelynn exhaled a quiet breath of relief.
After all, they were in front of a massive crowd, and she and Ian simply weren't at that stage.
She couldn't possibly have thick enough skin to accept such an extravagant heirloom.
Ian's intervention saved both her and Cordelia from a public faux pas.
With Ian taking the box, the gesture could be interpreted in several ways, successfully saving face for everyone involved.

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!...
