Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 812
She didn't even dare to cry out loud.
All she could do was hold Lily tight and let the tears fall in silence.
"Mama?" Lily had instantly beamed upon seeing Raelynn, but feeling the slight tremor in her mother's shoulders, panic set in. "Mama, did someone bully you?"
Raelynn remained silent for a long moment.
She hastily wiped her damp cheeks and gave her daughter a reassuring smile. "No, sweetie. I just missed my baby."
But Lily was already past the age of being easily distracted. She cupped Raelynn's face in her small hands, carefully wiping away the lingering moisture near her eyes, her little brow furrowed with concern. "But you're crying. I never want Mama to shed tears."
Raelynn stared at Lily for a long time.
Swallowing the heavy emotional knot in her throat, she murmured, "Sweetie... what if... what if Mama told you your biological dad was still alive? Would you want to meet him? Would you want a father's love and company?"
These were topics she had actively shielded Lily from for years.
But it was too late for that now.
Many of the impending storms could no longer be solved by hiding or running away.
Once the Croix family came knocking, the truth would be dragged into the unforgiving daylight.
She wanted to be the one to break it to Lily first.
Lily looked momentarily surprised, holding her mother's gaze with an unwavering intensity. "Don't be afraid, Mama. No matter what, I'm always on your side. Even if my dad tries to take me away, I would never go with him."
Little Lily was incredibly perceptive.
She possessed a maturity far beyond other children her age.
In a heartbeat, she had intuitively guessed the real fear hiding behind Raelynn's hypothetical question.
Raelynn choked back a sob, pulling Lily into another fierce, desperate hug.
However.
It wasn't long before the peace broke.
Raelynn's phone rang.
She glanced at the screen.
It was a call from the Croix family.
They had moved even faster than she had anticipated.
Taking a deep, steadying breath, Raelynn told Lily to head inside the house first. She turned away to answer the call.
He genuinely hadn't expected Raelynn to have the audacity to speak to him in such a defiant tone.
What truly shocked the entire Croix family to its core was the revelation that they had an heir they knew nothing about—a bloodline meticulously hidden and raised right under the roof of the rival Hudson family!
It was a colossal humiliation, one that could absolutely not be tolerated.
Matilda gritted her teeth, her eyes wide with disbelief. "That Raelynn really handed us the 'surprise' of a lifetime. How dare she run off with a child of the Croix lineage!"
That was Croix blood!
The entire family had spent years practically begging for Sebastian to produce an heir, and who would have thought Raelynn would have the sheer nerve to hide one!
If today's spectacle at Kingsford University hadn't been so glaringly public, they might have remained in the dark forever.
"Mr. Croix has returned."
From the entryway.
A servant's announcement cut through the tension.
Forrest and Matilda snapped their attention toward the door.
Sebastian walked in with slow, measured steps, holding his suit jacket in one hand. His striking, sculpted face was completely devoid of emotion as he closed the distance.

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!...
