Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 742

She frantically pulled a handkerchief from her purse and began dabbing at the dark stain on Sebastian's chest.

Her doll-like face was flushed a brilliant, mortified crimson.

It was Sierra Yves.

The sudden incident managed to steal quite a few stares from the crowd.

The proposal in the center of the room was completely derailed.

The romantic atmosphere shattered into pieces as the guests' focus rapidly shifted.

Some people finally recognized Sebastian. Those who were aware of his history with Raelynn exchanged wild, loaded looks, their eyes darting between the trio as relentless, hushed whispers began to spread.

"What on earth is going on? I heard Mr. Croix and that Ms. Ortiz used to be married..."

"Seriously? She's got that kind of pull?"

"Accepting a proposal right in front of her ex-husband? Talk about awkward. There's no way she can say yes publicly now..."

The whispers were low.

But as the gossip rippled through the hall, it became a deafening buzz.

Raelynn didn't care why Sierra was on the yacht, but she heard every venomous word of the gossip.

It was as if her past marriage to Sebastian meant she would forever be chained to his name, forever branded and restricted, stripped of her right to make her own choices.

Meanwhile...

Sebastian's expression remained perfectly frigid. He lifted his lashes, staring blankly at Sierra's blushing, panicked face mere inches from his own.

She looked at him with jittery anxiety. "Mr. Croix, do you need to go change your clothes?"

Even as she spoke, she kept aggressively dabbing the handkerchief against his chest.

Sebastian raised a hand, smoothly brushing her wrist away. "I can handle it."

Sierra bit her lip and nodded vigorously. When she finally straightened up, she realized that half the room was staring at them—including Raelynn and Ian.

She scratched her head awkwardly. "Professor Ortiz, did I... ruin the moment?"

The sheer tactlessness of the question made more than a few guests scoff.

The general consensus was that pushing forward with the proposal now would be disastrous. A proposal relied entirely on the perfect mood. Now that it was ruined, continuing would strip away all the romance and dignity of the gesture.
