Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 709

Raelynn Ortiz hadn't expected it to be Sebastian Croix.

Just seconds ago, she had actually let Lily call him Daddy...

The thought made her spine stiffen imperceptibly, but she maintained a neutral expression and continued slicing the apple. "What are you doing here? I thought Ian had arrived."

Sebastian still couldn't stand or walk, but his motorized wheelchair rolled in quietly. Hearing Raelynn's words, his gaze turned icy.

He ignored her comment entirely.

Instead, he maneuvered straight to Lily's bedside. "Are you still feeling uncomfortable anywhere?" he asked the little girl.

Lily's clear, big eyes darted from her mother to Sebastian's face. She felt something was a bit strange just now.

But she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

She shook her head. "I feel much better."

Pausing for a moment, Lily stared unblinkingly at Sebastian. In her small world, a major shock still lingered. "Weren't you scared?"

"Of what?" Sebastian looked at her.

Lily raised her hand, indicating the highest point she could reach. "It was so high. Why did you come save me?"

That was what she couldn't understand.

Why had this man been so fearless? Were all adults this kind?

Raelynn frowned slightly.

She hadn't expected the man and the child to strike up a conversation.

Sebastian thought about it seriously. "Thinking back, it was pretty high. But I didn't have time to think about being scared."

"Mister, do you like me a lot?" Lily asked directly. "Or is it because of my mom?"

Her big eyes darted around, and then she asked abruptly, "Or is it because you like my mom?"

The hospital room instantly fell silent.

Raelynn never anticipated that Lily's little brain would jump to that conclusion.

And she asked it so bluntly.

She instinctively looked at Sebastian, wanting to brush it off as a kid's silly remark. But when she glanced over, she saw that Sebastian's expression hadn't changed at all. Instead, he asked with genuine interest, "Do you know what it means to like someone?"
