Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 570
Raelynn rummaged through her bag for her ID.
Ian also needed to present his. He glanced down at Lily, who was sleeping soundly against his chest, and then looked at Julian, the picture of a carefree billionaire heir. "Mr. Yves, hold her for a second."
Julian instinctively looked at Lily's rosy, chubby cheeks.
Before he could even respond, Ian signaled for him to hold out his arms. Out of sheer reflex, Julian did.
Ian gently transferred the sleeping toddler into Julian's embrace.
Julian's entire towering frame stiffened. He stood frozen in the most awkward, inexperienced holding position imaginable. The little girl was a tiny, soft bundle of warmth. The sudden handover made Lily groggily flutter her eyes open.
Julian locked eyes with the sleepy toddler.
He panicked.
He had never taken care of a kid in his life. He subconsciously held his breath, terrified that he had woken her up and she was about to start crying.
But the next second...
Lily, whose little brain clearly hadn't booted up yet, nuzzled deeper into his chest. Her tiny hands grabbed onto his fingers, she smacked her lips a few times, and drifted right back to sleep.
Julian nearly died from the sheer cuteness.
He rarely felt the urge to swear.
Damn.
How did Ian get so lucky to have a daughter like this?
Raelynn finished checking in and walked over to him. "I'll take her."
Julian looked at her, suddenly gripped by a bizarre, inexplicable reluctance to hand the kid back.
But there was no helping it.
He had no relation to this child, and zero right to hold onto her.
He gently passed her back into Raelynn's arms.
Julian turned to the receptionist and, keeping his voice low so as not to wake Lily, instructed, "Put Mr. Hudson on the 31st floor."
Ian glanced over.
Raelynn's room was on the 33rd floor.
Julian was blatantly abusing his power to put as much distance between Ian and Raelynn as possible.
Julian spoke with complete self-righteousness. "I should remind you, Mr. Hudson, your engagement with the Yves family was only recently called off. If you're seen getting cozy with Raelynn right now, the rumor mill will have a field day."
The DNA test results weren't out yet, anyway.
Seraphina didn't seem to mind his lukewarm reception.
She turned back to Sebastian. "Seb, give me your ID. I'll handle the check-in."
Julian's eyes darted toward Seraphina, reading between the lines. He drawled lazily, "We're out of adjoining rooms, so I went ahead and assigned your suites in advance."
Seraphina paused.
She had been planning to conveniently request rooms next to each other.
Or better yet... suggest they save a room and just share a suite.
That way, it would be all too easy for things to naturally escalate between them in private.
But Julian had completely ruined her plan.
She pressed her lips together. Even though she was annoyed, she maintained her perfectly poised smile. "That works."
Sebastian shot Julian a casual glance, seemingly oblivious to the underlying tension.
"Let's go with that, then," he agreed coolly.

The readers' comments on the novel: Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding
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!...
