Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 598

Sebastian moved his injured arm slightly, his tone flat. "I don't do things to force her into tears of gratitude."

Julian pondered this. "True. You don't want anything from her, so there's no need to claim credit."

It wasn't about love.

It was just the lingering, faint traces of a long-dead marriage.

"But does Raelynn even know what you went through to pull this off?"

Sebastian remained silent, appearing entirely indifferent.

"And what if she doesn't? What if Ian completely scrubs your name from the narrative and takes all the credit?"

Julian still believed it.

Raelynn wasn't an unreasonable person.

If she knew the lengths Sebastian had gone to save her, she would have at least offered a polite thank you instead of completely icing him out.

Sebastian pulled out a pack of cigarettes.

"It doesn't matter."

The blunt response choked Julian up.

If the man himself didn't care, why was he stressing over it?

But the image of Ian and Raelynn walking away with Lily lingered in Julian's mind. He couldn't help but sigh, "If the two of you had managed to build some real feelings for each other back in the day, your own kid would probably be that age by now."

That single remark.

Made Sebastian pause mid-strike on his lighter.

He lowered his lashes, his thoughts entirely unreadable.

The heavy silence was broken by the sudden vibration of his phone.

Sebastian pulled it out to check the screen.

It was a call from Seraphina.

Catching a glimpse of the caller ID, Julian immediately scowled.

The DNA Test Results would likely be out tomorrow.

If she truly turned out to be his sister, he was absolutely going to put an end to this twisted romance.

Without avoiding Julian, Sebastian answered the call right there.

"Sebastian? Why didn't you pick up earlier?"

Seraphina asked softly.

"I don't have time."

Sebastian's pitch didn't fluctuate an inch. It remained unnervingly smooth, yet the sharp finality of his rejection cut right through the line.

It instantly shattered Seraphina's sense of entitlement.

She froze, the smile vanishing from her lips. "What?"

She thought she had misheard him.

Even Julian looked surprised.

Sebastian wasn't displaying any outward emotion, but maintaining that same detached attitude while delivering such a brutal shut-down was jarring.

Sebastian offered no explanation.

He simply hung up.

On the other end.

Seraphina stared blankly at the 'Call Ended' screen.

Her heart pounded as an uncontrollable panic began to tear through her.

Sebastian had... rejected her?
