Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 844
Her mindset naturally relaxed.
Lily would eventually know Sebastian was her father. As for their father-daughter dynamic, she wouldn't make decisions for Lily just because she was young.
That was the biggest concession she could make.
Sebastian met Raelynn's open, untroubled gaze.
She used to smile a lot. When she smiled, her striking, unapproachable beauty melted away, leaving her signature, gorgeous dimples. It was her truest self—pure, but not without edges. She loved hard, hated hard, and knew when to let go.
Right now, Raelynn was telling him she had completely let him go and was moving forward without any baggage.
He stared at her for a long time.
It was the first time in ages they had spoken with such calm clarity.
Yet it represented an absolute finality.
After a long silence, Sebastian's throat bobbed. His eyelashes fluttered, and he let out a soft, "Hmm."
Raelynn turned around.
Just as she took a step, she glanced back. "Thanks."
She walked away.
Sebastian stood rooted in place for a while.
The wind rustled coldly.
It seemed to carry traces of snow, landing freezing against his skin.
He lowered his eyes, and when he looked up again, his refined features had returned to their usual impassive mask. He took long strides to his car. "Back to the estate."
The Croix family was already in a state of utter chaos.
Tristan Croix had rushed back.
Matilda Croix's high blood pressure had spiked, and even after her medication, she wasn't improving.
The root of it all was the disaster at the Hudson family wedding.
The whole city was talking about it.
Who didn't know by now that Raelynn wasn't just Faye, or the youngest professor at Kingsford University, but the biological granddaughter of Dr. Hayes of the Yves family? And her daughter with Sebastian had been publicly declared an Yves. It was orchestrated entirely by the biological father, Sebastian himself. The child's name was changed post-divorce, giving her a legitimate, untouchable maternal family backing.
The Croix family came away empty-handed.
Furthermore, under these circumstances, they were forcibly barred from ever fighting for the child's custody again.
"You're throwing away your own daughter? Giving her away?" Forrest's expression twisted.
Sebastian offered a faint, sarcastic smile and leaned back. "Listening to you, one might think the Croix family was some portrait of loving harmony, deeply attached to the bonds of flesh and blood."
Those words caused Forrest's face to change drastically.
Tristan was also caught off guard.
He looked at Sebastian.
He couldn't shake the feeling...
The entire dynamic had shifted.
It was as if Sebastian no longer gave a damn about anything.
He was ripping away the family's hypocritical facade without a second thought.
"Sebastian, Grandma and Grandpa are getting older. They just want their grandchildren around them." Tristan pressed his lips together, trying to smooth things over.
"Right."
Sebastian poured himself a cup of tea. "No matter what catastrophic events occur, we must maintain the illusion of family harmony and a thriving business. A happy, united household. Just like over a decade ago when Cyrus Croix nearly killed me, and yet we all still sit down together in 'loving harmony'."

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!...
