Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 540

He had refused.

Back then, she had desperately tried to comfort herself, convincing her broken heart that Sebastian just didn't want the harsh contraceptive pills to ruin her health, which was why he chose to stop.

But eventually, she couldn't lie to herself anymore.

He just refused to allow even a fraction of a risk, and more importantly, he probably didn't trust that she would actually take the pill.

She finally understood exactly where she stood.

Raelynn stared directly into Sebastian's eyes. "Did you completely forget how our sex life worked? What gives you the arrogance to think Lily has anything to do with you?"

"I said I felt guilty because I shouldn't have slept with someone else while we were married. That's why I felt I owed you an explanation. I told myself I had to wait until you asked for a divorce before I could walk away with a clean conscience. I just didn't expect us to drag it out for so many years. Are those reasons sufficient enough for you?"

She had no problem twisting the knife.

She was entirely confident because she knew Sebastian had zero memory of the *one* time he didn't use protection—the night he was black-out drunk before leaving the country. That blind spot was her only shield, her only lifeline.

Her words were brutal.

Her expression was openly mocking.

She was mocking him for his insane delusion.

Mocking him for having the audacity to think the child was his.

Sebastian said nothing.

She couldn't even read the dark, swirling emotions locked behind his eyes.

They stood in a violent standoff.

Raelynn hadn't left a single inch of breathing room.

She had absolutely nothing left to do with this man, so she made sure her words were vicious enough to completely annihilate any fantasy he had about Lily being his.

He didn't even want her, so why would she ever use a child to tie them together again?

Even without screaming, it felt as though they were driving daggers into each other's chests.

Sebastian's features hardened into a mask of pure ice. He grabbed her arm again, leaning in so they were eye to eye. "We are divorced, Raelynn. I am not dead."

"If you are marrying Ian Hudson, and the world believes Lily is his daughter, where does that leave me? It means you had his kid while you were married to me. What exactly does that make me?"

Raelynn's voice died in her throat.

Her eyes trembled with panic.

She desperately tried to shove him off.

Suddenly.

The screech of tires echoed across the pavement.

The sharp sound of dress shoes marching aggressively toward them followed.

A second later, a dangerously authoritative voice cut through the tension: "Mr. Croix, I strongly suggest you step away from my fiancée."
