Sensing Raelynn's emotional fluctuations, Lily quickly sat up and wiped the corners of Raelynn's eyes with her small hands.
Pretending to be mature, she patted her own little chest. "Hug."
Raelynn was amused, despite the lingering heartache.
She actually hoped Lily could just be a normal child her age, unaffected by everything, without needing to be so overly sensible.
However, she figured Lily's maturity was inevitable, likely an inherited trait from Sebastian Croix.
As for the question of whether she was crying because of her father, Raelynn couldn't answer.
Because Lily always thought her biological father was dead.
She pulled Lily into her arms. "It's not because of him anymore."
Seven years of suffering was the utmost sincerity she had offered to that relationship.
Lily nodded, seemingly half-understanding.
Raelynn rarely got the chance to tell Lily a bedtime story, but tonight she did, coaxing the little girl back to sleep.
As for everything that had happened tonight.
Whether it was flipping the table at the Croix family party or making the firm decision to marry Ian.
She didn't regret any of it.
Even if the Croix Family "punished" her in the future for her rebellion today, she didn't care.
As long as she got married and everything was settled, she didn't mind going all out against the Croix Family.
The next day.
Raelynn received a few iMessage notifications from Ian early in the morning.
Ian: [I'm flying to abroad today. I'll try to return early. Leave the single status certificate to me.]
Raelynn knew he was handling the paperwork.
Ian was reliable, so she didn't need to worry.
She read the next message.
Ian: [You can look into wedding styles, venues, destinations... let me know if you like anything. You haven't had a wedding before, but a girl usually has some expectations for one.]
The next day.
Raelynn headed straight to Kingsford University.
Her agreement hadn't been printed yet, so she planned to print it out at the school.
The routine weekly meeting among various universities was taking place in the Kingsford University Lab Building.
When Raelynn arrived at the conference room.
She saw Sebastian already sitting in the front row.
Sitting right next to him, having risen in status, was Seraphina Vance.
Raelynn wasn't surprised. Sebastian was the main investor in The Neurological Medicine Project, so attending the meeting was standard procedure.
The moment she saw Raelynn, Seraphina's expression turned frigid.
At the Croix family party, Raelynn had ripped away her facade. Over the past two days, many people had been discreetly asking questions, and ugly gossip about her was already spreading!
It was an insult to her!

No, no, no! Sebastian needs to nip the Zella situation and win Raelynn back! Also, Leo, he is a wildcard for Sebastian's master plan... Sebastian- we know you know, what we know, win your family back!...
I thought now Sebastian and Raelynn will be together now that seraphina is not but you are not letting them to be. Two new female around Sebastian 😭...
I think Ian is sly. He is not what he seems. Sebastian loves Raelyn and they have a daughter together. Besides he has no family to even take care of him. I feel Raelyn should realise that Sebastian is only her true love and go back to him....
The croix family is evil...
