Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 323
Preston shrugged. "Chloe Hudson actually told me today that she ran into them while out shooting a documentary. Sebastian Croix was there too. Looked like they were having a celebratory dinner. I'm guessing the initial phases of the project are already greenlit. She must be pretty confident if they're popping champagne this early."
Raelynn found it slightly unexpected.
But on second thought, the team was based at Longstride Technologies, and Longstride had Sebastian's backing. Money made the world go round.
Sebastian could secure the best of everything for her.
Naturally, they wouldn't face any bureaucratic red tape, making their turnaround time much faster than most companies.
She looked down, texting Lily about her day, completely uninterested in keeping the conversation on Sebastian. "Good for her, then."
Preston studied Raelynn's remarkably calm face.
He let out a silent sigh.
She had decided to leave him, decided to let go, and claimed not to care. But was it really possible to feel absolutely nothing in such a short amount of time?
Watching her own husband pour his money, resources, and love into elevating another woman.
Seven years. How many seven-year stretches did a person get in one lifetime?
She was just swallowing the bitterness and forcing herself to move forward.
The truth was, Raelynn really didn't want to know how Sebastian was paving the way for Seraphina this time.
It was obvious his involvement was what gave Seraphina so much leverage.
Thankfully, their projects were completely unrelated. They wouldn't cross paths, so she wouldn't have to look at them.
A little later, Raelynn received a call from Matilda Croix.
"Raelynn, the 19th is The Croix Anniversary Gala, which happens to fall on the same day as Sebastian's birthday. Adjust your schedule. I expect you to keep the day entirely open."
Though the tone sounded grandmotherly, Raelynn felt a bone-deep chill.
She used to think too highly of the Croix family. Only now did their demands make her skin crawl.
As for Sebastian's birthday.
She knew.
In the past, she had meticulously planned for it every single year. If he was out of the country, she would take time off and fly halfway across the globe just to celebrate with him. Even when he was cold and distant, she used to cherish every second. A simple dinner together was enough to make her happy before she'd take a red-eye flight back, exhausting herself to the bone.
Now.
Never again.
She was going to learn to love herself more.
"I might be busy."
The impending pressure meant she needed to come up with several backup plans.
Worst case scenario, she would just drag Sebastian back to file the papers a second time.
The Croix Anniversary Gala was a breathtakingly extravagant affair.
Factoring in that it was also Sebastian's birthday, Raelynn could already picture the absurd level of opulence.
When the day arrived, a driver was parked outside her marital home bright and early, waiting to pick her up.
She had no choice but to make an appearance.
At least it would be crowded. She could just blend into the background and coast through it.
Having very little jewelry of her own, she pinned on The Sapphire Butterfly Brooch that Ian Hudson had given her.
She arrived at the venue.
But before she could even step inside.
She got an iMessage from Preston.
Preston: *Raelynn, we have a problem.*

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!...
