Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 476
Raelynn Ortiz was stunned by the suddenness of it all.
Seraphina Vance had rushed straight for the spot, even bumping into Raelynn hard as she brushed past.
Ian Hudson, holding Lily, reached out to lightly support Raelynn's waist.
His cold gaze swept over them.
Raelynn stared at the departing car, her mind filled with the image of Sebastian Croix leaving without a single backward glance.
Her eyes burned with unshed tears. Her breathing grew ragged.
Even knowing that Sebastian was unaware of the truth when he gave the emergency transport to the perfectly healthy Shane, she couldn't suppress the suffocating wave of despair.
Despite trembling with anger, Raelynn refused to show any of it in front of Lily.
The reason she wanted the school's transport was because it was equipped with medical gear and emergency supplies. A child's illness couldn't wait.
"I'll drive. It'll be fine, Raelynn," Ian reacted swiftly, carrying Lily toward his car.
Raelynn pushed her anger aside.
Lily had been hospitalized frequently when she was younger.
The experience almost triggered a trauma response in Raelynn.
Once in the car.
Ian expertly reversed and sped straight toward the hospital.
In the backseat, Raelynn held Lily's feverish body.
Lily wiped the tears from her eyes with the back of her hand. Seeing Raelynn's pale face, she reached out, wrapped her small arms around Raelynn's neck, and gently patted her back. "Don't be scared, Mama. I just feel a little sick. It's not a big deal."
The little girl was burning up, yet she was impossibly sensible for her age.
Raelynn felt like her heart was being seared by a hot iron.
Lily touched Raelynn's cheek and added, "It's okay. A lot of kids are sick. Shane's sister and brother-in-law are worried about him too, just like you and Daddy are worried about me."
Her sweet understanding only made Raelynn feel worse.
It wasn't the same.
That wasn't someone else's brother-in-law. That was Lily's real father.
But that truth had to remain a secret.
It would only hurt the child.
Lily would be devastated if she knew.
Raelynn said nothing, merely hugging Lily and kissing her forehead. "Okay."
Seraphina knew better than to press the issue.
-
Lily needed to be hospitalized for two days.
During that time, Ian had to step away to handle company matters.
Raelynn stayed at the hospital for two straight days without going home. She and Ian had a silent agreement to keep Lily's illness a secret from Professor Alistair Finch and his wife, Celia.
The elderly couple doted on Lily like a grandchild, and they wouldn't be able to handle the stress of seeing her sick.
They simply claimed they had taken Lily out for a two-day trip.
As for Shane...
Unsurprisingly.
The little chubster was discharged the very same day, bouncing off the walls.
His sturdy build meant he was perfectly fine.
Raelynn didn't run into Sebastian and Seraphina again.
She thought that was for the best. It was peaceful.

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!...
