Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 318
Raelynn froze mid-motion.
Her heart skipped a beat.
She turned her head, meeting Ian's dark, intense gaze.
Ian noticed the flash of discomfort in her eyes. His usually stoic, unsmiling features softened into a faint, reassuring smile.
He handed her bag over. "No deadlines. No pressure."
He effortlessly diffused the tension, deliberately cutting off the rejection she had been instinctively preparing to blurt out.
Then, he added simply, "See you next time."
He didn't chase her for an answer, maintaining the perfect distance.
Standing outside the building, Raelynn's mind raced, filled with a mess of complicated emotions.
The last time Ian proposed, they had both brushed it off so casually that she had genuinely pushed it out of her mind, assuming it was just a chaotic misunderstanding.
But bringing it up again meant he wasn't joking.
Raelynn rubbed her temples in frustration. She was the kind of person who could joke around or laugh things off forever, but the second someone offered her genuine, unavoidable emotional sincerity, she completely short-circuited.
As far as she was concerned, her only real relationship had been an absolute disaster.
It would be a lie to say she wasn't exhausted by men and romance.
Asking her to genuinely consider opening her heart again was an incredibly tall order.
Perhaps Ian was just doing this to escape the Yves family. They had zero emotional foundation. Even if he did harbor some lingering affection for her now, how long could that possibly last?
Raelynn was a realist. She had no energy to worry about anything beyond the immediate present.
She let out a heavy sigh.
When she returned to her office upstairs, she noticed a new iMessage from Luke.
Luke: *Raelynn, what the hell is going on with you and Ian? He's practically engaged to the Yves family. I hope you wake up and stop giving him false hope. Reject him before it gets worse. You can't be this greedy. Just because you couldn't lock down a taken man like Sebastian doesn't mean you should go around leading everyone else on.*
Raelynn rubbed the bridge of her nose.
She desperately wanted to block him again, but Luke was an investor. Unfortunately, she couldn't.
She didn't bother replying. She just muted his notifications and went back to work.
Seraphina frowned slightly.
Was he calling her a snob?
But she quickly brushed it off.
The licensing was locked in, and her PhD application was next. Why on earth would she lower herself to bicker with Raelynn? They weren't even playing in the same league.
"Everything looks perfect. Pleasure doing business," Seraphina said, her mood soaring.
Raelynn was in a great mood, too.
She was collecting massive licensing fees. There was absolutely nothing bad about that. It was all going straight into her fund for raising Lily.
"Take care," Preston replied, not wasting time on pleasantries.
Seraphina suddenly paused. "Mr. Moreno, we might be seeing a lot of each other in the future. I've applied for Director Moreno's doctoral program. We'll practically be trusted colleagues and friends soon."
She shot Raelynn a pointed look as she spoke.
She wanted Raelynn to clearly understand the sheer canyon of difference between their statuses.

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!...
