Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 597

Lily's words made Sebastian open his eyes. Maintaining his position, he looked at her.

Lily disliked it when people speculated about her mother, especially the underlying tone of, "Why hasn't your mother married since she had you?"

If anything.

She only hoped that whatever decision her mother made brought her genuine happiness.

Therefore.

Lily looked at Julian with utmost seriousness. "My mom doesn't have to marry anyone, because Daddy and I..."

*Ding-dong.*

The sudden chime of the doorbell snapped Julian out of his daze, and he immediately looked over.

Casting a surprised glance at the perceptive little girl, he rose to get the door.

He hadn't expected someone so young to have such firm opinions, let alone be so fiercely protective of Raelynn.

Sebastian also shifted, sitting up slightly.

He, too, glanced toward the entrance.

The door swung open.

Julian found Ian and Raelynn standing there, fresh from the hospital.

Raelynn had changed into a new set of clothes, betraying no hint of the ordeal she had just survived or any lingering trauma. She gave Julian a polite nod. "Mr. Yves, thank you for the trouble."

Julian instinctively scanned her.

Making sure she was unharmed.

He finally stepped aside to let them in.

"It was no trouble at all."

Ian gave a curt nod as well. "We're here to pick up Lily."

Hearing his voice.

Lily immediately scrambled up and bounded joyfully toward the door.

"Mama!"

Knowing Raelynn might still be reeling from the anesthesia, Ian quickly stepped in before the little girl could tackle her mother. He crouched down and extended his arms. "How about a hug from Daddy instead?"

Lily hit the brakes.

She happily let Ian scoop her up. The moment the door had opened, Raelynn had noticed Sebastian sitting in the living room. He was angled slightly away, giving her only a view of his profile.

However, she had absolutely no intention of greeting him.

Treating him as if he were completely invisible.

Instantly silenced the room.

He was pointedly calling out Ian for acting overly entitled to Raelynn, mocking the very foundation of Ian's supposed position in her life.

Ian didn't bother arguing back.

But Raelynn frowned.

Ian was merely collateral damage in her toxic dynamic with Sebastian.

It wasn't fair for him to face such baseless ridicule.

Ignoring Sebastian's seemingly casual yet venomous jab, she turned to Ian. "Let's go."

Ian understood perfectly.

Raelynn closed the door behind them.

Julian had intended to politely see Lily out, but the swift exit cut him off entirely.

Standing in the entryway for a moment.

He slowly turned back to the living room, looking at the scattered toys on the floor with a strange sense of emptiness.

"Raelynn didn't seem the least bit grateful that you saved her life," he noted, simply stating the facts.
