Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 116
"Makes sense. You're close with Chloe," Sebastian remarked casually, not giving it much thought.
Chloe might be somewhat marginalized within the powerful Hudson Clan, but since Raelynn had that connection, it wasn't too shocking she had Ian's contact info. Besides, given the holiday, the message was probably just a generic mass text anyway.
"Yeah, exactly. How else would I know someone like Ian?" Raelynn replied. Seeing how little Sebastian cared, she gave a barely perceptible smirk and typed a quick reply.
[Happy New Year.]
Ian replied instantly.
[I'm returning to the country next month.]
Raelynn didn't overthink why Ian was updating her on his itinerary.
[Okay, see you then.]
She certainly wasn't going to tell Sebastian that Ian Hudson was Lily's legal father, or that he was essentially her savior. If Ian hadn't put Lily on his family registry back then, Raelynn would never have been able to hide her pregnancy or safely raise her daughter.
But a secret like that couldn't be kept forever. Once her divorce with Sebastian was finalized, he would inevitably find out. By then, however, it would be too late. He wouldn't be able to snatch her daughter away.
"Alright, I'm taking a shower," Sebastian stated, completely losing interest in her conversation. Without a second glance, he turned and headed for the bathroom.
Raelynn suddenly remembered how he had mistakenly pulled her into his arms that very morning. Was he planning to sleep here again tonight?
"Are you staying here?" she blurted out.
Unbuttoning his shirt, Sebastian paused at the bathroom door and threw her a cool look. "Where else do you suggest I sleep? Enlighten me."
"With your mistress," Raelynn immediately thought, though she kept her face perfectly neutral.
Sebastian ignored her, shutting the door. Seconds later, she heard the shower running.
A team of over thirty people departed for the medicinal herb base. They toured the cultivation zones for rare botanicals and the processing facilities, holding a brief meeting halfway through. After negotiating prices, they finally locked down a deal in the late afternoon.
Raelynn was thrilled with the premium quality of the herbs. As soon as they got samples, she dragged Preston back to their suite to start optimizing the formula ratios, skipping the team's group dinner entirely.
While they were working, a knock sounded at the door.
It was a hotel staff member pushing a cart with two neatly sliced portions of cake.
"I'm sorry, we didn't order room service," Raelynn said, looking confused.
The staff member smiled politely. "You're Ms. Ortiz, correct? Ms. Vance was craving mango cake, but all the local bakeries are closed for the holiday. Mr. Croix specially hired a private pastry chef to prepare this, and he requested we send a portion to you and Mr. Moreno as a courtesy."
Raelynn's polite smile instantly froze. She had purposely skipped the dinner to avoid them, yet they still found a way to shove their romance in her face?

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!...
