Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 569

Blanche's words sparked a brief flash of girlish anticipation and shyness in Seraphina's eyes. Locking things down with Sebastian would be the ideal outcome.

But...

She quickly frowned. "Sebastian is incredibly considerate to me, but he's also a gentleman who values restraint. If I'm too forward, what will he think of me?"

She cared deeply about her image. After all, no woman wanted the man she loved to view her as reckless or lacking self-respect.

Blanche sighed in exasperation. "Why are you overthinking this? A man like Mr. Croix has seen every type of woman. When a man treats a woman that well with no limits, he's definitely expecting something in return."

"Besides," Blanche continued, "once you cross that physical line and let the rumors spread, the Croix family won't be able to back out. They'll have to accept you. I've thought this through. Dr. Evelyn Hayes is not an easy old woman to deal with. If she demands you break things off with Mr. Croix to protect your reputation, you'd be shooting yourself in the foot without a backup plan."

You always had to think ten steps ahead.

Seraphina understood her mother's concerns.

Involving the Yves family was a risky chess move, and there was no room for error.

That was exactly why they needed a foolproof Plan B as a safety net.

She sat back in her chair, deep in thought. "Fine, I get it. But how do you plan to handle the situation with the Yves family?"

A ruthless gleam flashed through Blanche's eyes as she let out a cold laugh. "We have a ready-made solution for that..."

Dr. Evelyn Hayes's upcoming birthday gala was the talk of the town.

However, the guest list was exclusive, and the barrier to entry was exceptionally high. The event had caught the attention of the highest social circles, as the esteemed elder was widely regarded as a national treasure.

Raelynn didn't take the invitation lightly.

After looking into Dr. Hayes's hobbies, she discovered the older woman had a passion for calligraphy and painting. Raelynn spent days visiting various galleries and auctions, eventually spending a small fortune on a top-tier antique inkstone.

She then made a quick trip to Professor Alistair Finch's home.

But looking at Lily now...

Was having a complete family the most important thing in her little world?

The three of them arrived in Seaport City.

It was already past three in the afternoon.

Lily had a habit of taking afternoon naps and was already fast asleep. Ian carefully carried her in and out of the car. Since they were officially invited by the Yves family, all the airport transfers and hotel accommodations had been arranged for them.

They arrived at the hotel.

Ian stepped out of the car with the sleeping toddler in his arms, and Raelynn followed closely behind.

When they reached the front desk, they ran into Julian.

Julian was in charge of greeting the VIP guests flying in from across the country. The moment he saw Ian and Raelynn arrive together, his gaze lingered on Raelynn's face for a fraction of a second. "Let's get you checked in first."
