Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 119
Three hours later.
Raelynn rubbed her stiff neck as she walked out of the lab, only to find Chloe Hudson waiting for her in the lobby, hauling a rather large package.
"Shouldn't you be at home celebrating the New Year? What are you doing here?" Raelynn asked.
"I heard you were back in town. I'm practically an outcast in the Hudson family anyway, so I figured I'd come hang out with you. As soon as I walked in, the front desk said you had a package. What did you buy that got shipped to the office?" Chloe gestured at the heavily secured box, grunting slightly. It was heavy.
Knowing Chloe's difficult situation at home, Raelynn let out a soft sigh of sympathy.
She stripped off her gloves and walked over. "I haven't shopped online in ages. It's probably just some holiday gifts from Alistair."
She grabbed a box cutter and sliced through the tape. Inside was a square, elegantly carved box made of sandalwood. The packaging alone was worth a small fortune.
Chloe gasped. "What kind of insane item comes in a box this expensive?"
Confused, Raelynn checked the sender's details on the shipping label. She instantly recognized the phone number.
It was the direct line to the CEO's office at Croix Holdings.
Sebastian sent this?
Raelynn frowned, a wave of hesitation washing over her. Slowly, she popped the latch on the wooden box. The moment she saw what was inside, her jaw dropped.
Chloe let out a shriek. "Wait, isn't that The Twin Bloom Vessel? The antique vase that just sold for astronomical numbers at that Italian auction? There are barely any left in existence! I just saw the news online a few days ago—it sold for almost thirty million dollars! The whole internet was freaking out about it. Sebastian actually bought it?!"
"Oh my god," Chloe thought, panicking. She had just been shaking that box around like a maniac. If she had shattered a thirty-million-dollar antique, her life would have been over.
After her initial shock, Raelynn's expression turned incredibly complicated.
Thirty million dollars...
"This was the centerpiece of my mother's antique shop. Silas Vance sold it for cash years ago," Raelynn murmured.
Every time they spoke, it felt like a verbal fencing match. A simple question always hid sharp, underlying barbs.
Raelynn pressed her lips together, deciding to be completely blunt. "I don't recall asking you for this. The Twin Bloom Vessel isn't exactly a favor I can casually pay back."
"Do you really need to be this formal with me?" he asked, his tone perfectly even, brushing off her defensiveness.
But Raelynn knew better. This wasn't the tender generosity of a loving husband. She asked her next question with the icy detachment of a business partner confirming a contract.
"Are you buying my silence? Is this your price for me keeping my mouth shut about you spending the holiday with Seraphina's family, and standing me up at the hotel?"
It was the only logical explanation. He needed her to cover for him when Matilda inevitably asked questions.
The line went silent for a few seconds.
Then, Sebastian let out a low chuckle. His tone was completely unreadable. "Sunny, do you need me to praise you for being so understanding?"

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!...
