Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 550

She looked at Ian and couldn't help but let out a soft laugh.

"Thank you for the comfort."

When she smiled genuinely, the dimples at the corners of her mouth softened her usually aloof and striking features, injecting a vibrant, honeyed warmth into her expression. His gaze lingered on her face.

Suddenly, he 'changed his mind' about the drink he had just offered her. He pulled the glass back, downed more than half of it himself to wet his throat, and then grabbed a fresh glass to hand to her. "You're welcome. I figure I can use this time to learn how a husband should act."

Raelynn could tell he was joking.

But Ian was a man who rarely smiled. He was decisive, authoritative, and carried a dominant aura ingrained in his bones. Even when he joked, it sounded serious.

She didn't take it to heart, merely offering a beautiful smile as she glanced at the drink he handed her.

Not far away, Julian hurried into the venue.

He had been on a business trip in Seaport City and had just flown back.

The moment he arrived, he spotted Raelynn and Ian engaged in what looked like a very pleasant conversation.

He had long accepted Ian's "betrayal" of his missing sister, though their two families still hadn't formally sat down to annul the marriage contract.

Frowning slightly, he walked over to where Sebastian was standing.

His gaze paused the moment he noticed Seraphina.

Seraphina offered him her usual sweet smile. "Mr. Yves."

Julian walked right past her, his eyes locked on Sebastian. "Why did you bring her?"

The word 'her' was painfully pointed.

The forced smile on Seraphina's face fractured.

What did Julian mean by that? They used to be friends. He had always admired her, valued her, and even seemed to have a soft spot for her. Why was he drawing such a harsh line now?

Sebastian's gaze swept over the rows of colorful drinks on the table. "Why did you come back?"

But...

She took a deep breath.

Julian would deeply regret treating her like this.

Back across the room, Raelynn politely declined the drink. She opted for a glass of champagne instead. "I can't drink Mango Wine. I'm allergic."

Ian glanced down at the glass in his hand and set it further away. "Noted."

As they spoke, Dr. Hayes spotted Raelynn.

The esteemed elder waved enthusiastically from across the room and walked over with a brisk, energetic stride.

On her way, she walked right past Blanche—who had stepped forward to greet her—ignoring the woman completely.

Blanche's smile froze.
