Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 579

The memory of the previous night sent a delicious shiver down her spine. A wave of absolute euphoria washed over her, and she couldn't suppress the triumphant smile spreading across her face.

The reason she was so utterly convinced of his love.

Was the sheer restraint he had shown.

A man's true devotion was tested by his ability to conquer his primal urges.

They always said you could measure a man's love by two things: how much money he spent on you, and how fiercely he protected you. The fact that he had suppressed his most basic instincts proved his devotion—few men possessed that kind of willpower.

Sebastian lowered his gaze. "I suppose. We did have a few too many."

His response earned a light, teasing laugh from Seraphina. "I always thought we'd take things slow, but the alcohol actually brought us so much closer."

He glanced at her, remaining in his relaxed, sprawling posture as he leaned back in his chair with his legs crossed.

A faint, almost imperceptible smirk tugged at the corner of his mouth.

Seraphina seized what felt like the perfect opening. Keeping her tone light and conversational, she asked, "Since things have escalated, maybe we should start discussing our future. Like... a wedding?"

In her mind.

She and Sebastian were practically a done deal now.

She possessed all the leverage she needed.

Her newfound status as an Yves heiress would silence any objections from the Croix matriarch.

Everything was falling perfectly into place.

Sebastian stared at her, his expression unreadable. "A wedding?"

His casual counter-question.

Sent an unexpected jolt of insecurity straight through her chest. It made her stomach twist. She froze. "You haven't thought about it?"

Before he could offer a definitive answer.

Another group of powerful executives approached to pay their respects.

The conversation immediately shifted to corporate acquisitions, and Sebastian stood up to join them, leaving her behind.

Seraphina's brow furrowed into a tight knot.

Blanche waved off her modesty. "If he really didn't want it, he would have dragged you to a pharmacy the second you woke up. He's serious about you. You might not have even needed the pill. With a little seduction, a man like him would never turn you away."

With that secured.

They just needed to stabilize the situation with the Yves family.

The Yves empire would serve as the ultimate stepping stone.

Her next move was critical: strike while the Yves family blindly believed she was their flesh and blood, and force the Croix family into a swift marriage. Once her name was legally bound to Sebastian's.

Then.

Even if the Yves family eventually unearthed the truth about her bloodline.

She would be untouchable.

Sebastian loved her, not her fabricated pedigree. He wouldn't abandon her over a scandal, and the Vance family would still reap the endless benefits of being tied to the Croix empire.

A brilliant, untouchable smile spread across Seraphina's face.

But then she remembered his utterly indifferent reaction just moments ago.
