Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 879
Raelynn had to admit that seeing Ian's message stirred up a complicated mess of emotions. Years ago, she had chosen him to keep Lily's existence completely hidden. And even though Lily had spent most of her time being raised by Professor Finch, Raelynn couldn't deny that Ian had genuinely cared for the little girl.
But now, he was waiting right outside her building.
She knew Ian was still harboring a lot of resentment. But the bond between people had limits—it wasn't infinite, and it shifted depending on the choices they made.
There was never going to be a future for them anyway.
[Ian Hudson]: I brought Lily some gifts and her red envelope. I do it every year, and I'm not skipping this one. I'll wait for you.
Raelynn instinctively glanced toward the living room.
Lily was wedged between Rowan and Arthur. The tiny girl was kneeling on a dining chair, her face bright and flushed, busy pouring water, serving tea, and fetching blankets for her grandmother and great-grandfather. She took her job of caring for her elders very seriously and was completely swamped.
Without alerting Lily, Raelynn grabbed her coat and slipped out the front door.
She couldn't just leave Ian waiting out in the cold.
There were things that needed to be said, face-to-face.
When Raelynn stepped out of the building, snow was drifting down from the night sky. Ian was leaning against his car, and the moment he saw her, a spark of life returned to his somber eyes. He stood up straight, his throat bobbing. "You still came down to see me."
Raelynn pulled her coat tighter against the chill. "It's New Year's Eve. You should head home early."
Ian stared at her, a self-deprecating shadow crossing his gaze. "I made a desperate move, I know. When I found out Sebastian knew Lily was his daughter, I panicked. I was terrified he would beg for you back, and I was terrified you'd give in, so..."
So, knowing full well she didn't want to, he had used Lily to back her into a corner and force an engagement.
But it didn't keep her.
It only pushed her further away.
The thought of starting over with someone else was just too exhausting.
She simply didn't have the fight in her anymore.
Ian remained silent.
But something in his eyes shattered.
He stared at her intensely. "Raelynn, what if I told you I fell in love with you a long time ago? I don't care what you think right now; I will make you forgive me. My feelings for you aren't some cheap thrill I can just toss aside."
Raelynn pressed her lips into a thin line.
She was just about to respond when the steady sound of approaching footsteps broke the silence.
Boots crunching rhythmically against the fresh snow, loud and grating in the quiet night.

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!...
