Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 843

His tone was entirely flat.

But Raelynn clearly caught the blatant mockery.

She tried to pull her hand from his grip.

Instinctively, Sebastian's hold tightened, his warm palm wrapping around hers. But after just a few seconds, he let go of his own accord. "Sylvia and Sierra will be sent away by the Yves family. With this done, some of your knots with them should be untangled. Lily staying with you in the Yves family is the best possible outcome."

Raelynn could still feel his lingering warmth on the back of her hand.

She curled her fingers into a fist. "Aren't you going to tell me what your deal is?"

She wasn't asking about the massive spectacle he made for Sierra, nor his refusal to remarry. She was asking when he had found out for sure, and about his plans for Lily's arrangement. She had been on guard against him this entire time.

Yet, in the very end.

Sebastian had let go.

He hadn't tried to fight her for the child.

In fact, he had secretly arranged everything, severing the Croix family's ambitions and leaving the Hudson family in an awkward position where they could no longer interfere.

He even...

Didn't care what surname the child took.

"You didn't want the child returning to the Croix family, and neither did I. We both know they don't value human connection; it's no environment for a child to grow up in. Lily is my daughter. That blood connection can't be changed. No matter her last name, she is still my daughter."

Sebastian looked at her. "The child I share with you is proof of my existence."

Raelynn frowned. "Sebastian, you're certainly overflowing with confidence."

So confident that he didn't seem to care about the details.

He didn't deny it.

"If you're asking how I confirmed our blood tie," Sebastian slipped one hand into his pocket, "the process hardly matters at this point."

Only the result mattered.

Raelynn looked up. "Did you know when you jumped off the building to save her?"

Sebastian met her gaze.

He remained silent for a long time.
