Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 117

She didn't need a single reminder of how desperately Sebastian spoiled Seraphina.

Even worse...

"We don't want it. Take it back. Lynnie is deathly allergic to mangoes," Preston snapped, walking over from the living room with a dark expression.

The staff member looked startled. "I apologize. Mr. Croix wasn't aware. Please don't be offended."

Raelynn let out a breathy laugh, a mix of pure self-deprecation and sarcasm. "It's fine. It's completely normal that he wouldn't know."

After the waiter left, Raelynn felt a sharp throb in her temples. Her brain had already been working on overdrive trying to develop the new formula, and now Sebastian had to pop up out of nowhere just to make her miserable.

"You're allergic to mangoes and he has absolutely no idea?" Preston handed her a glass of water, his face tight with anger.

What kind of sick joke was this? Sending a cake made specifically to pamper his mistress straight to his legal wife? Was Raelynn's life just a joke to him? It was completely humiliating.

Raelynn sat back down and flipped open the pharmacology report. "His mind has never been on me. Why would he know?"

This wasn't like remembering what dishes she didn't like at a dinner table—any observant person could pick that up just by watching her eat. But knowing what foods were actively lethal to her required actual care, communication, and a desire to understand her. It required love.

And that was the fundamental difference between her and Seraphina.

"But you literally saved his life. How can Sebastian be so cold to you?" Preston demanded, his tone laced with heavy indignation.

Saved his life...

Raelynn's eyes lost focus for a moment. That had been over ten years ago.

Raelynn went back to her spreadsheets. She used to swallow her pride because she loved Sebastian. But from now on? She was putting herself first.

Everything else could go to hell.

After wrapping up the herb base inspection, the team packed up to leave without delay. Raelynn had planned to head back to Kingsford with them, but Matilda called her unexpectedly.

"Lynnie, I booked a trip to the temple tomorrow to burn some incense and pray. Keep me company, won't you?"

Raelynn thought about it. The temple in this area was famous for answering prayers. If she could pray for Lily and her Grandpa's health, it would be worth it. She agreed and told Preston and the NexusMind team to head back first.

The next morning, Raelynn was fully dressed and ready to go. When hours passed with no word from Matilda, she finally called her.

"Lynnie, I had an absolute emergency and had to leave early! But don't worry, I made Sebastian stay behind to keep you company. You two can fly back together later. Now that it's just the two of you, go enjoy some romantic couple time."
