Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 120

His words were delivered in a perfectly calm tone, but to Raelynn, they grated on her ears.

She had no energy left to decipher his hidden meanings. She knew exactly what this was. It wasn't a husband looking out for his wife; it was a billionaire making a transaction. A simple exchange of chips.

Raelynn had never felt so painfully clear-headed. Ignoring his mocking question, she got straight to business. "Since we're laying everything out, we need to keep the paperwork clean. An antique of this value could easily cause massive legal disputes down the line. I want you to draft a written agreement legally transferring full ownership to me."

Reclaiming her mother's centerpiece had been practically impossible. She was a cautious person by nature and refused to leave any loopholes for him to exploit.

Besides, she had already handed him the divorce papers at the hospital. The end of their marriage was imminent. Since he was throwing millions of dollars at her as hush money for his infidelity, she was going to make sure she kept every last dime of it.

Sebastian didn't argue. "Fine. I'll have the legal team draft the papers."

"Deal. When can I get them?" Raelynn let out a massive sigh of relief, a genuine smile finally breaking across her pale face.

As long as her family's legacy was safe, she didn't care. If he needed her to play the loving wife and cover up his romantic getaways with Seraphina, she would gladly do it for this price.

"Wait for me at home."

Raelynn frowned instantly.

Home? They were on the brink of divorce, and he wanted her to go back to the marital house?

"Can we..." she started, wanting to suggest a neutral location.

But before she could finish, Sebastian abruptly cut the line, completely silencing her.

He hung up on her the exact same way he would dismiss a subordinate—dictatorial, cold, and utterly devoid of emotion.

Raelynn was more than used to it by now; her expression didn't even flinch. But she had to get that legal document to secure The Twin Bloom Vessel.

"...Keep acting like a pufferfish and see what you get."

Chloe instantly lunged at her, laughing. "Oh, so you get rich and suddenly you're cheap?!"

Raelynn dodged with a laugh, her mood noticeably lighter. No matter what twisted logic Sebastian used to justify spending millions to buy back her family's legacy, it had solved her biggest nightmare. What was left to complain about?

After carefully transporting The Twin Bloom Vessel to her rented apartment, Raelynn took Chloe out for her promised seafood feast. Raelynn barely ate anything herself, knowing cold seafood would only make her cramps worse.

She had planned to drive home, but ended up eating something with alcohol in it by mistake and couldn't get behind the wheel. Left with no choice, she hailed a cab to the Croix estate.

She hadn't set foot in that house in nearly a month. Sebastian had clearly been perfectly content with her absence, having never bothered to call and check on her even once.
