Garrett's words were practically bursting with joy, clearly thrilled with Raelynn as his future niece-in-law. His face radiated excitement, acting as if he was completely oblivious to Raelynn's past marriage to Sebastian. He continued, "Everything just fell perfectly into place for those two kids today. It looks like my sister might be getting a grandchild sooner rather than later."
Sebastian's eyes were pitch-black.
He stared sharply at the empty door.
If the two of them were still on the ship, the power outage would have forcefully interrupted whatever romantic evening they had planned.
But if they had already left early...
How far would things escalate without any interruptions?
Sierra instinctively bit her lip. "How come I didn't see them leave?"
Garrett waved a hand. "They took a private speedboat. With all these people around, how could they have a real date? Young people prefer being alone."
Sierra's eyes flickered. She gripped her hands into tight fists, staring at the door for a long time before forcing a stiff smile. "I see..."
Garrett didn't seem to notice anything amiss.
He added, "Mr. Croix, your leg is injured. I'll arrange for someone else to assist you off the ship."
Sebastian didn't answer.
He lowered his eyes, his face an unreadable mask.
Garrett didn't waste any more time.
He turned to coordinate the rest of the passengers.
Sierra stood beside Sebastian, taking a silent, deep breath before turning to him. "It looks like I worried for nothing. Ms. Ortiz is perfectly fine. Mr. Hudson will take great care of her. They were smart enough to slip away for some privacy."
Saying that.
Sierra stepped behind Sebastian and grabbed the handles of his wheelchair. "Let me push you, Mr. Croix. Hold on tight."
Sebastian finally reacted. The moment she touched the handles, he operated the chair, smoothly slipping out of her grasp. His voice was low and menacing. "No need."
He rejected her without a shred of hesitation.
He completely ignored her stunned expression.
Moving forward on his own.
Sierra hadn't expected Sebastian to harbor such blatant dislike for her. The repulsion was barely concealed.
He paused, then asked tentatively, "Should I go look for your wife so we can leave together?"
A deep crease formed between Sebastian's brows—a rare display of visible emotion. He looked down at his diamond-encrusted lighter, now missing a stone, and gripped it tightly. "No need."
Quinn was taken aback. "But it's chaos out here. Aren't you worried about her?"
Did his boss truly no longer care if Raelynn lived or died?
Sebastian's handsome features were devoid of warmth. "If she willingly offers herself up on someone else's plate, why should I flip the table for her?"
Quinn was even more confused.
He failed to grasp Sebastian's meaning.
Sebastian closed his eyes.
The situation tonight.
If the Gallagher family hadn't deliberately orchestrated this trap, things wouldn't have escalated to this point.
The Hudson and Gallagher families were meddling far too much in the younger generation's relationship.

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!...
