Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 541
Hearing that voice cut through the tension.
Raelynn Ortiz snapped back to reality, turning sharply to see Ian Hudson striding toward them. His usually stoic face was clouded with a rare, icy intensity.
Sebastian Croix's expression remained indifferent as he slightly turned his head.
He locked eyes with Ian, who had just stepped up to them.
Standing up straight, his dark eyes completely unreadable, he greeted him. "Mr. Hudson."
Ian quickly checked on Raelynn to ensure she was alright before his gaze dropped to Sebastian's hand, which was still firmly gripping Raelynn's arm. "Lynnie doesn't like that. I'd appreciate it if you prioritized her comfort, Mr. Croix."
He didn't yell, but his tone was far from polite.
An unspoken, rigid standoff hung in the air.
Sebastian simply stared back at him with cold detachment.
For no apparent reason, his lips twitched slightly.
Seizing the moment, Raelynn ruthlessly wrenched her arm out of Sebastian's grasp. She took a deep breath, pressing her lips together. "You came looking for me?"
"Yeah, I just got off the plane." Ian finally turned to her.
"I have to deal with something right now. If it's convenient, could you wait for me?" Raelynn knew that if Ian had come straight to Kingsford University after landing, he was likely looking for her, possibly regarding the single-status certificate they needed.
Their conversation flowed naturally, entirely at ease.
Sebastian simply leaned back against the car door, an air of pure nonchalance surrounding him.
Lowering his eyes, he pulled out a lighter, casually flicking it open and shut, sending tiny blue flames sparking into the air.
"It's no trouble," Ian replied.
Then, he turned back to the silent Sebastian. "If you have a moment, Mr. Croix, we should talk. The answers you've been looking for—I might be able to give them to you."
In that single sentence.
Raelynn suddenly detected a very faint... sense of provocation.
It felt almost like a hallucination.
Ian knew exactly how to deflect the heavy blows and when to seamlessly twist the knife.
"That's why I'm the one raising the child," Ian said, meeting Sebastian's intense stare. "You seem to forget who I am. I'm Ian Hudson. If she wasn't my own flesh and blood, why on earth would I willingly raise another man's child?"
That declaration practically nailed the coffin shut on the narrative.
It also maxed out the hostility between the two men in an instant.
But Raelynn understood.
Ian was pushing the narrative to its absolute extreme just to make Sebastian believe that Lily had nothing to do with him.
Sebastian didn't flinch.
But his eyes grew infinitely darker and more predatory.
With a flick of his thumb, he snapped the lighter's metal lid shut, a mocking sneer tugging at his lips. "You certainly have a talent for taking a shady, back-alley situation and dressing it up to look glamorous, Mr. Hudson. But what exactly gave you the impression that I am a man you can just walk all over?"
Raelynn knew exactly what Sebastian meant.

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!...
