Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 738
Ian dipped his head. "Thank you."
The entire time, Sebastian sat right next to them, hearing every single word of the envious blessings.
He lowered his eyes, his expression remaining maddeningly nonchalant. He absentmindedly flicked a lighter open and shut, lost in his own calculations.
Raelynn, however, felt an inexplicable wave of discomfort.
Feeling as if she were sitting on pins and needles, she leaned over to whisper to Ian. "Do you want to switch..."
Before she could finish her sentence, The East District Land Auction officially commenced.
Ian looked at her, leaning in close to hear. "What was that?"
Raelynn eventually shook her head. "Never mind."
She had originally wanted to swap seats with him.
Being sandwiched between Sebastian and Ian was incredibly awkward. It wasn't that she was afraid of facing Sebastian; it was just that the entire dynamic was too bizarre.
But the event had started, and it wouldn't be appropriate to cause a scene in front of everyone.
Ian didn't press the issue.
He unscrewed a bottle of water and placed it within her reach.
For the rest of the session, Sebastian didn't spare them a single glance.
It was as if they were total strangers.
The auction proceeded smoothly. Halfway through, Raelynn let her guard down and reached for her water, accidentally brushing hands with the person next to her.
A spark of lingering warmth seared her fingertips.
She jerked her head around, just in time to see Sebastian pulling his hand back even faster.
Catching her gaze, he looked over coolly before shifting his attention to Ian. "It seems Mr. Hudson has made his decision."
Sebastian spoke with a slow, deliberate drawl. "I guess Raelynn doesn't mean that much to you after all."
The remark felt like a veiled jab aimed directly at her.
Raelynn's brow tightened. "I never cared about this. If a massive corporation ran on sheer emotion, it would go bankrupt. They might as well just pack it up."
They weren't shouting. Their voices were perfectly calm and composed.
Yet sitting between them, Raelynn could practically smell the gunpowder in the air.
She subconsciously frowned.
Unable to fathom what Sebastian was trying to achieve, she couldn't help but shoot him a sharp glare.
A silent warning for him to knock it off.
But Sebastian ignored the warning, merely glancing at her before leaning back against his chair.
Ian remained composed, staring straight ahead as he faced Sebastian's arrogant assumptions.
He finally spoke. "When did Zenith Holdings ever say we submitted a bid?"
Sebastian's eyes flickered.
Raelynn whipped her head to stare at Ian.
A second later, Ian turned to face him, articulating every syllable with lethal precision. "Since you want this so badly, Mr. Croix, and you stooped to using Raelynn as leverage, then for her sake, I am officially withdrawing our bid."

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!...
