Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 502

Her voice was sharp and unwavering, having steadied her racing heart before delivering the heavy question.

She was completely out of options. The Croix family had crossed the line too many times, and this seemed to be the absolute only way to secure full custody of Lily.

The desperation had driven her to abandon all caution.

Ian clearly hadn't expected this opening line.

He gave a subtle wave of his hand, signaling his stunned assistant to leave.

Snapping to his senses, the assistant quickly backed out and quietly clicked the door shut.

Ian studied Raelynn's face, anchoring on the raw, uncontainable urgency burning in her eyes.

"Yes."

His response was calm and resolute.

He hadn't hesitated for even a fraction of a second.

After delivering that instant dose of reassurance,

he smoothly added, "However, my legal situation is a bit complicated. We'll need to do some prep work."

Ian pulled out a leather guest chair and gestured for her to sit.

Leaning casually against the edge of his desk right next to her, he explained, "I currently hold Canadian permanent residency. While my passport and citizenship are local, I've spent years living out of the country. Before we can legally marry here, I need to get a single status certificate issued from Canada. Are you willing to wait for that to process?"

The adrenaline finally began to drain from Raelynn's system.

The fake divorce certificate had completely clouded her judgment.

Getting married wasn't something two adults could just manifest out of thin air in a matter of hours.

She already knew about his international background.

He had spent years managing operations abroad, and local law demanded rigorous documentation for international residents.

She suddenly met his gaze. "Aren't you going to ask me why I'm suddenly proposing?"

And proposing a legally binding marriage, no less.
