Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 468
Seraphina's voice echoed crystal clear in the empty corridor, landing perfectly in Raelynn's ears.
Raelynn paused while drying her hands. Surprisingly, she didn't feel a surge of shock. It was, after all, the most logical move. If Sebastian promised to marry Seraphina, Cameron would be effectively neutralized. The only hurdle left for Sebastian was figuring out how to force the Croix elders to accept her.
Seraphina's laughter carried through the door. "Sebastian also told me to start looking into interior designers. He wants to completely renovate the house so it perfectly matches my taste for when we move in."
Raelynn tossed the paper towel into the trash and walked out, her expression a mask of total indifference.
Seraphina turned at the sound of footsteps. Seeing Raelynn didn't cause her to flinch. Instead, she ended her call, tilted her head, and smirked at Raelynn as she approached. "Sebastian is going to fight his family for me."
Forced to stop, Raelynn looked at her dead in the eye and enunciated clearly, "Congratulations."
Without missing a beat, she walked right past Seraphina.
She knew exactly what kind of reaction Seraphina was fishing for—a fight, tears, jealousy. Since that's what the woman wanted, Raelynn figured a hollow congratulations was the easiest way to shut her up. Arguing and throwing petty insults was beneath her; she refused to waste her energy.
Seraphina frowned, staring at Raelynn's retreating back. This wasn't the reaction she had anticipated. Raelynn was far too calm. It had to be a front—she was obviously just pretending not to care.
When Raelynn returned to the private dining room, she took the long way around the table specifically to avoid walking behind Sebastian.
A moment later, Seraphina glided back in.
The atmosphere had completely shifted in her favor. The moment she sat down, several professors from out of state struck up a conversation with her, warmly tossing academic talking points in her direction. The earlier freeze-out had vanished entirely.
Sebastian's mere presence—and his deliberate choice to sit beside her—had forced the room to reevaluate Seraphina's worth.
Seraphina was soaking it up, offering demure smiles and engaging effortlessly with the crowd. Every so often, she threw a triumphant sideways glance at Raelynn, who was quietly sipping her tea.
Raelynn certainly wasn't going to complain. "Are you feeling any better?"
Evelyn chuckled, patting Raelynn's shoulder with warm familiarity as she sat. "I'm fine. I just need to remember I'm not a twenty-something who can pull all-nighters anymore."
Raelynn smiled, and the two fell into an easy, animated conversation.
Across the table, Seraphina's smile shattered.
Because Evelyn had made a beeline for Raelynn, the entire room's attention immediately followed the legendary doctor. It was as if Raelynn had been officially anointed, thrusting her back into the absolute center of attention.
Once again, Seraphina was left in the shadows.

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!...
