Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 882

Come to think of it, if a man like Sebastian was genuinely interested in a woman and decided to pursue her, he would be utterly lethal. Every move would be calculated and devastating; he wouldn't waste a single ounce of energy on anything trivial.

"Sebastian is so thoughtful," Rowan laughed softly. "Raelynn hates anything tedious. She has zero patience. Even though she's brilliant, she just refuses to put in the effort when it comes to the little things. I think you two complement each other perfectly."

"Mom!"

Raelynn hadn't expected her own mother to sell her out so quickly.

Sebastian casually cracked another crab leg, a faint, devastating smirk playing on his lips. "It's true. She has absolutely no patience."

Raelynn decided she was done talking to both of them.

She kept her head down and focused on eating.

Sebastian shelled a few more, distributing the meat to Lily, Rowan, and Arthur.

Arthur was in incredibly high spirits. He pulled out a bottle of premium liquor he had been saving for a special occasion and insisted on having a few drinks with Sebastian.

Sebastian didn't turn him down.

The table was filled with constant, warm laughter.

Raelynn, who had been sitting rigidly at the start of the meal, slowly felt herself relaxing into the atmosphere.

As dinner wrapped up, Raelynn escorted Rowan and Arthur to the bathroom to wash up.

Lily finally looked up at Sebastian.

She lowered her voice into a serious whisper. "Aren't you going home? Did you just come here to see my mom?"

Sebastian wiped his hands thoroughly with a wet napkin and glanced down at her. "Can't I be here to see you?"

Lily clutched her spoon, eyeing him with deep suspicion. "Are you really not going to fight Mom for custody?"

"I'm not." He slid a bowl of ice cream toward her. "You're going to live a very happy life with your mom forever."

"Are you not fighting for me because you don't like me?" In Lily's tiny world, that was the only logical conclusion.

Sebastian paused. He shifted in his chair, leaning his elbows on his knees so he was at eye level with the little girl. "I love you very much. But you're better off with your mom. Just like you, I don't want to see her sad. The fact that we made this decision peacefully has nothing to do with me not loving you."

"Do you love Mama too?"

"..." Sebastian stared into those bright, innocent eyes for a long, quiet moment. "Yes. I do."

Lily gripped her spoon, her little brow furrowing in deep thought for a long time.

"Then you're going to be really sad. Mama is really hard to win over. You broke her heart, so you probably won't ever get her back."

Sebastian's gaze drifted toward the hallway.

She walked him to the elevator bank and checked the time on her phone. "It's almost midnight. Drive safe."

"I will."

"I'm not walking you all the way down."

"That's fine."

They stood side by side in silence. Raelynn kept her eyes glued to the glowing numbers on the elevator display, watching it approach their floor.

Ding—

The doors slid open.

Sebastian suddenly turned to look at her.

"Let me ask you a question."

"Go ahead."

"Is there any universe where the two of us still have a future?"

"No."
