Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 62

Ms. Ortiz. So formal, so distant! She couldn't be more thrilled!

She tightened her grip on his arm, her lips curling into a smile at Raelynn. "Sebastian, don't be so harsh with a lady. You'll hurt her feelings."

Leo scoffed. "You think everyone gets treated like you? Not just anyone gets special treatment from Sebastian."

Raelynn understood exactly what Seraphina was doing, and she caught Leo's thinly veiled insult perfectly.

She also understood that Sebastian was effectively "kicking" her out.

He was probably terrified that she would publicly expose Seraphina's true status.

He was overthinking it.

Until the divorce papers were finalized, she wasn't going to let her emotions dictate her actions.

Without another word, Raelynn turned and walked out.

The gazes burning into her back were heavy with mockery. They probably all thought she looked like a clown who had just suffered a humiliating defeat.

Raelynn didn't rush back to her room.

She wandered aimlessly around the resort's massive artificial lake.

The dull ache in her lower back hadn't faded, serving as a constant reminder of what had just transpired.

The temperature up in the mountains was easily ten degrees colder than indoors.

The distant peaks were blanketed in snow, and the moonlight cast a bleak, silvery glow over the landscape.

It wasn't enough to light the path ahead.

Raelynn didn't feel devastated, exactly, just suffocated by an immense, crushing loneliness.

The sense of falling short wasn't something you imagined; it was something you felt by comparison.

It turned out that some people could do absolutely nothing and still have the world handed to them on a silver platter.

Raelynn sniffled, her nose red and frozen, and wiped at the corners of her eyes, even though there were no tears.

It was fine.

She didn't want the kind of candy you had to wait for someone to give you—the kind they could snatch back at any moment.

She was going to earn her own.

Sooner or later, she would.

She walked for over half an hour, only heading back to the hotel when her racing thoughts had finally settled.

Just as she reached the park outside the hotel building.

Raelynn spotted a tall silhouette standing in the moonlight.
