Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 577

A wave of deep disgust rose in Raelynn's throat. The entire situation was repulsive.

Over the seven years she had known Sebastian.

He had never been a man given to reckless, unhinged behavior.

Yet here he was, acting like some hormone-driven teenager, starring in a sleazy hotel scandal.

It felt incredibly jarring.

Counting the early days, she had known him for well over a decade.

How had he turned into this?

"Mama? What's wrong? Are you feeling sick?" Lily noticed her mother's pale expression and stood on her tiptoes, reaching up to pat her cheek comfortingly.

Raelynn snapped back to reality.

She quickly shook her head. "No, sweetie. I'm perfectly fine."

She didn't spare Seraphina a second glance, leading Lily straight into their waiting car.

They were already divorced, so it wasn't a matter of jealousy. It was just so utterly absurd that it made her stomach churn.

They arrived at the Yves estate.

The manor was hidden behind towering iron gates, fiercely private.

The designated cars pulled up the long, sweeping driveway one after another.

The moment she stepped out.

A bright, cheerful voice called out from a distance. "Professor Ortiz!"

Raelynn looked over.

Sierra Yves was already jogging toward them with infectious enthusiasm. When she spotted Lily, her eyes lit up. "Oh my goodness, what a gorgeous little angel!"

Lily greeted her politely. "Hello."

Sierra practically swooned.

She was just bending down to pinch Lily's cheeks when another car pulled up beside them.

Seraphina stepped out.

The moment Sierra saw her, her bright smile faltered into an awkward grimace. She shot Raelynn a helpless look, caught in an impossible position. "Professor Ortiz, she's..."

Raelynn knew exactly what she was trying to say.

But she wasn't going to crush her spirits out loud.

A girl her age couldn't possibly understand the kind of betrayal she had survived.

She just smiled faintly. "Let's head inside."

Sierra opened her mouth, hesitated, and awkwardly scratched the back of her head.

She gave a defeated nod.

The grand entrance to the Yves estate featured a massive, decorative stone threshold. Raelynn held Lily's hand, watching affectionately as the little girl hopped over it with a triumphant giggle.

Just as Raelynn stepped over it herself.

The entrance was swarming with arriving guests.

Someone brushed hard against her shoulder.

Caught mid-step, her ankle rolled, and she pitched backward.

A large, warm hand clamped firmly against the small of her back, arresting her fall and pulling her flush against a solid chest.

A "thank you" was already on the tip of her tongue when she looked up, only to find herself staring into Sebastian's cold, handsome face.
