Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 100

Luke's interest in Raelynn far exceeded everyone's expectations.

Everyone except Sebastian, who stood there like a complete bystander. He didn't even bother saying another word to Luke, simply lowering his eyes and saying coolly, "Let's go look at the antiques."

Seraphina raised an eyebrow in silent triumph.

Men were inherently territorial over their wives, regardless of whether love was involved. They would never tolerate another man encroaching on their territory.

If he didn't even possess that basic instinct of possession...

It meant his apathy and disgust had reached an absolute peak.

Preston was honestly relieved Raelynn had walked away. At least she didn't have to witness this deeply chilling side of Sebastian.

Unable to agree with any of this, Preston gave a stiff nod. "I'm going to take a walk around."

Luke offered a polite gesture, letting him leave.

Julian stayed behind, narrowing his eyes at Luke. "You can't be serious. Love at first sight?"

Luke let out a low chuckle and raised his glass. "We're all consenting adults. No need to take it too seriously. If we click, we date. If we don't, we go our separate ways."

Those words definitely carried a hint of a playboy's casualness.

Even Julian hesitated for a moment.

So he just liked her face and wanted a brief fling?

Even if Sebastian didn't care, a daughter-in-law of the Croix family could never be allowed to engage in something so scandalous.

Julian scanned their surroundings, lowering his voice. "Luke. Anyone else is fine, but not her."

"Alright. Then tell me, who's her boyfriend or husband? If you know she's not single, you can at least drop a name, right?"

That instantly rendered Julian speechless.

Since Sebastian completely refused to publicly acknowledge Raelynn, Julian couldn't exactly expose her identity as Mrs. Croix.

Besides, Seraphina was standing right there. Spilling the secret now would just make everything painfully awkward.

Julian scowled.

Luke clinked his glass against Julian's.

"You're not making up this 'she's not single' nonsense just because you're into her too, are you?" That was the only logical explanation Luke could think of.

"What are you talking about? That's ridiculous." Julian frowned, his tone casual. "She's just not good enough for you."

Just as she crossed the threshold, she heard the sharp click of a lighter coming from the side.

She turned her head.

Sebastian stood quietly against the wall. His overcoat was draped casually over his arm. The texture of his white dress shirt was immaculate, and his tailored black vest accentuated his tall, imposing frame perfectly. The cut highlighted his broad shoulders and narrow waist, making him look devastatingly handsome. Hearing her footsteps, he glanced sideways, looking at her through thin, wispy trails of smoke.

Then, he withdrew his gaze and lazily stubbed out the cigarette.

Raelynn instantly understood.

Seraphina was probably nearby. Like the perfect, devoted twenty-four-hour boyfriend, he was waiting for her outside the restroom.

She naturally wasn't going to flatter herself by walking up and striking up a conversation with her own husband, only to risk getting embarrassed.

Raelynn prepared to walk away.

But just as she passed in front of him...

She heard his slow, unhurried voice cut through the air. "It's the holidays at the end of the month. The whole family is going on vacation to Southridge. Are you coming?"

Raelynn stopped in her tracks, turning to crash right into his deep, dark eyes.
