Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 551

Dr. Hayes cut straight through the crowd and stopped in front of Raelynn, her eyes bright and affectionate. "My dear Raelynn, I knew waiting for you to come find me would take all night. I had to come to you first."

This was exactly what she loved about Raelynn: her impeccable sense of boundaries. Raelynn knew perfectly well that if she asked, Dr. Hayes would move mountains to help her achieve whatever she wanted. Yet, she never asked.

That kind of integrity was incredibly rare.

Raelynn immediately offered a radiant smile. "I saw how busy you were."

Dr. Hayes chuckled softly. "Just chatting with old friends. Hardly busy."

Turning her attention, Dr. Hayes looked at the man standing beside her. "Mr. Hudson."

"Chairwoman Hayes, it's been a while," Ian replied politely.

A flicker of complexity crossed the older woman's eyes. "Are you and Raelynn..."

She had only recently learned about Raelynn's history with Sebastian. And yet, Ian had made it clear to her a long time ago that he had his heart set on Raelynn.

The tangled web of relationships was enough to make her head spin.

"We're planning to get married," Ian stated plainly.

Dr. Hayes looked taken aback. She immediately turned to Raelynn for confirmation. "Then what about you and the Croix family..."

Raelynn leaned in close and whispered softly, "Divorced."

Dr. Hayes immediately squeezed Raelynn's hand tightly. "You did the right thing. A marriage without love can't sustain itself for long."

But soon after, a complicated melancholy washed over her. Her posture seemed to sag slightly.

In the past, she had fiercely held onto the marriage contract with the Hudson family. To outsiders, it looked selfish—refusing to let Ian move on, forcing him to wait for a granddaughter who had been missing for over twenty years.

In reality, it was simply a lifeline of hope. It felt like as long as the contract existed, the chances of her granddaughter returning to fulfill it grew just a little bit higher.
