Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 125

He hadn't bothered telling Raelynn that.

Flicking the ash from his cigarette, a lazy, unhurried smirk touched his lips as some private thought crossed his mind. "My Mrs. Croix seems to have developed quite a temper lately."

Julian gave him a surprised look, finding the reaction utterly bizarre. "You aren't mad that she actually burned your wedding photos?"

Sebastian turned around and strode toward the house, his long legs eating up the distance. He didn't spare the drum a single glance. "Whatever. Let her throw her tantrums."

Raelynn had taken a cab here.

Which meant she had to walk nearly a mile to get back to the main road to hail another one.

She had originally planned to talk to Sebastian about the antique shop's ownership rights, but after today's disaster, that window was permanently closed.

She walked in silence.

Her mind ruthlessly calculating the exact day she could officially collect her divorce decree.

The divorce agreement that Chairman Croix Sr. had forced them to sign back then had been notarized and registered at city hall.

Though Sebastian was completely in the dark.

The paperwork was already legally binding. Nothing could derail its execution.

The Chairman's interference had inadvertently set their divorce in stone.

She didn't even need to strategize a way out of this gilded cage.

Once the time limit was up.

The Chairman would hand-deliver her the divorce decree.

Simultaneously, the agreement for relinquishing custody of Lily would officially take effect.

Raelynn paused and looked up at the bleak, gray sky.

Soon.

She was about to step into a brand-new life.

She was done waiting around for someone else to hand her happiness.

Honk! Honk!

A Maybach pulled up beside her.

Julian rolled down the window.

"Where to? I'll give you a ride."

Raelynn stared at him, her voice deadpan. "Since when do you play the Good Samaritan?"

Julian let out a choked laugh, genuinely taken aback.

"Raelynn, don't you think you're being a little ungrateful? Am I the one who cheated on you? Don't you think your attitude is completely out of line?"

Raelynn pulled her coat tighter around herself. Her expression was serene, but her words were razor-sharp. "You know the saying 'birds of a feather flock together'? If you want to play Seraphina's valiant knight, am I supposed to stop you from guarding the trash can?"

Julian was speechless.
