Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 575
Sebastian was caught entirely off guard.
Shoved hard, his tall frame stumbled backward.
He retreated two steps.
His stance was unsteady.
It was as if his body had suddenly turned to lead, making it impossible to keep his balance.
He lowered his gaze, his brows furrowing slightly.
"What do you think you're doing?" Raelynn shielded Lily. She no longer trusted Sebastian, especially now that he mistakenly believed Lily was her child with Ian Hudson. Letting him get this close to her daughter was out of the question.
It was impossible for her to remain perfectly calm.
Especially when she saw the faint specks of blood on his crisp shirt.
She was genuinely terrified that he might seek revenge.
Sebastian raised a hand, lightly pinching the bridge of his nose to ward off a sudden wave of dizziness.
He finally looked at her. His vision blurred for a fraction of a second, but he clearly caught the absolute, defensive hostility burning in her eyes.
He didn't say a word.
His phone rang, shattering the tense silence.
He answered it.
Seraphina Vance's voice drifted through the receiver. "Sebastian, when are you coming upstairs? I'm not feeling very well. Could you come check on me?"
He didn't spare Raelynn another word.
Turning away, he braced a hand against the nearby railing and walked off with long, measured strides.
Raelynn watched his retreating back as he hurried off to Seraphina.
Only then did her tightly strung nerves finally slacken.
She didn't care about his date tonight, nor did she have the slightest interest in finding out what would happen between them.
She turned to her daughter. "Did he say anything to you? Did he do anything?"
Lily picked up on her mother's anxiety. She held up her hand, showing off a fresh bandage. "No, Mama. I scraped my hand, and that mister helped me clean it up."
"Mama, what are you afraid of?"
The little girl had noticed.
Her mother acted completely different whenever that man was around.
She didn't think friends were supposed to be this tense around each other.
Raelynn froze. She looked down at Lily's hand, deliberately sidestepping the question. "You bled? Was it a lot?"
Given Lily's delicate health, they had always been excruciatingly careful, guarding her fiercely to ensure she never suffered even the slightest scratch.
She had discreetly slipped a mild, controlled aphrodisiac into her own water earlier.
It was the perfect way to craft an image of complete innocence.
The mere thought of being completely vulnerable with Sebastian tonight sent a shiver of anticipation through her.
Her body burned, and her cheeks were flushed crimson.
A few minutes later.
The sound of approaching footsteps echoed from the doorway.
Her heart hammered against her ribs as she called out softly, "Sebastian..."
-
Raelynn planned to take Lily back to their room to clean and inspect the scrape more thoroughly.
They stepped into the elevator.
Just as it reached the thirty-first floor, the display screen flickered violently.
The doors slid open and refused to close.
A moment later.
A hotel staff member rushed over, looking panicked. "Miss, I am so sorry. The elevator system just registered a critical fault and has temporarily locked down. What floor are you heading to? You might have to take the stairs."

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!...
