Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 460

Just one sentence.

It sent a freezing chill through Raelynn's entire body.

Her blood ran cold, rushing to her head and sparking a sudden, sharp ache in her temples.

Her breath stopped. It felt like all the oxygen had been vacuumed from her lungs.

She looked up in pure shock, meeting a gaze so piercing it felt as if he were slicing her open to examine her soul.

"...What?" Her voice was barely a whisper, the strength draining from her throat.

He didn't miss a single flicker of her reaction.

Sebastian closed the distance, his long legs taking slow, deliberate steps toward her. "Where is the child you had a few years ago?"

Raelynn's pupils constricted violently.

Sebastian knew.

He knew everything.

The absolute reality of it shattered her composure entirely. It was too sudden.

Especially now, when they had just finalized their divorce, and before she even had the chance to let Ian transfer Lily's registration. It was enough to suffocate her with panic.

Seeming to read her mind, Sebastian gripped the phone, his eyes swirling with an unreadable mix of emotions. "Your old phone. It has photos from your pregnancy. And... and the records of the postpartum hemorrhage that nearly killed you."

His tone held zero warmth, the crisp enunciation dripping with a chilling, quiet fury.

Raelynn suddenly understood.

She was completely cornered.

That old phone she had lost was now in his hands, setting this exact confrontation in stone.

What was meant to come would always come.

She met his profound stare. "So what kind of explanation do you want from me?"

He looked back at her. "Why did you hide it from me?"

Raelynn let out a sudden, dry laugh. "Why would I tell you? Weren't we separated across the globe for those first few years?"

For the first two years of their marriage, they had lived entirely separate lives.

Separated by an ocean, yet she somehow fell pregnant and gave birth.

It looked like the perfect crime, leaving zero possibility for his involvement.

She knew full well why he jumped to that conclusion. If she were an outsider, she would suspect the exact same thing.

The only time they hadn't used protection was the night before he transferred to Canada.

But he had been blackout drunk. What could he possibly remember?

Furthermore, he didn't know that the former chairman had secretly forced her to sign a seven-year divorce agreement. From day one, their marriage was doomed to expire. Under those circumstances, he naturally assumed she had zero reason to hide his own child. Therefore, the only logical conclusion he could draw was... infidelity.

It was a flawless logical loop.

Yet Raelynn didn't see the downside.

In fact, this was perfect.

This way, Sebastian wouldn't obsess over hunting down his own flesh and blood. Instead, the child would become a badge of shame, a dirty little secret he would want buried.

So, she lifted her chin stubbornly. Even with red-rimmed eyes, she offered zero explanation. "Do I need to remind you? We're divorced. The papers are signed. Do I owe you any kind of explanation?"
