Leo tilted his head. "If she had secured Gracefield, it would have cemented her status at NexusMind. But that opportunity went to you, and you just signed a three-unit deal with them. Of course she's bitter. Plus, Seb just threw some random startup at her as a consolation prize. She's literally eating your scraps."
Seraphina couldn't help but laugh softly. "NexusMind does have potential."
It just had nothing to do with Raelynn.
As for that obscure little facility.
She hadn't even bothered to remember its name. It was that insignificant.
Small clinics had to count every penny. They wouldn't actually buy one of NexusMind's robots. No one threw money away like that.
"Seb, what was the name of that place anyway?"
Leo asked.
Sebastian scrolled through the financial news on his screen, his expression completely blank. "Didn't remember it."
Seraphina smiled. "He meets so many people every day. With all his social engagements, it's impossible to match every face to a business card. He happened to have a spare one lying around, so he gave it to Raelynn."
Leo nodded in agreement.
It was the perfect way to brush off her whining. It wouldn't do to have Raelynn causing a scene and ruining Seraphina's contract with Gracefield.
-
With the facility deal locked in.
The other secondary partnerships required no extra effort.
They would sign the remaining contracts individually later.
Driving back to NexusMind, Raelynn stopped at a red light and glanced at the massive billboard across the street.
It was an advertisement for Seraphina's project, featuring a glowing personal profile of Seraphina herself.
Seraphina had already been something of a celebrity doctor, frequently appearing in the media. Now, with her project in full swing, the public buzz around her was at an all-time high.
By entertainment industry standards, Seraphina was a certified star.
She was drowning in praise.
They were crowning her the medical genius behind The Intelli-Cure System.
And all this glory was built on Sebastian's silent, unwavering support behind the scenes.
Seraphina was wrapped in his absolute devotion.
Raelynn stared at the screen for a second before looking away, accelerating smoothly through the intersection.
The weekend arrived.
Raelynn had planned to visit Lily.
But she received a call from The Croix Ancestral Estate.
But she had long since mentally checked out of her role as the Croix family daughter-in-law. There was no need to run over there and play the dutiful hostess.
She took her time getting ready.
It wasn't until the afternoon that she finally headed over.
Aristocratic families obsessed over these traditions, viewing them as a reflection of their legacy.
The staff was bustling around in a frenzy of preparation.
Raelynn walked through the doors.
Matilda waved her over. "You're here. Come sit and chat with me for a bit."
Just as Raelynn took a step forward.
A maid at the entrance announced, "Mr. Croix is back. And... Ms. Vance is with him."
Raelynn felt a sharp tug in her chest.
She turned around.
Sebastian and Seraphina were walking in, shoulder to shoulder.
Raelynn's expression shifted.
Bringing Seraphina here on a day like today... what was the meaning of this?

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!...
