Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 767

This completely derailed her expectations.

She had missed a critical piece of the puzzle.

Of course, a powerful man like Sebastian would undoubtedly have a flawless, meticulously vetted replacement ready to step into the role of his wife once the divorce was finalized.

She just hadn't expected it to happen this fast.

The last time they were on the cruise.

Sebastian's attitude toward her had been downright frigid.

He didn't strike her as a playboy who casually entertained women, which gave her an unexpected, unsettling sense of losing control over the situation.

Sierra stood frozen in the hallway for a long time.

She kept her head down, biting her lip, her mind racing with thoughts.

Dr. Evelyn Hayes rushed over to find Raelynn the second her meeting wrapped up.

Both Raelynn and Julian shared a tacit agreement not to mention Sylvia and Sierra's attempt to bulldoze the flower garden.

Raelynn had only intended to keep Evelyn company for a little while.

But the older woman immediately pulled out the property transfer documents without giving her a chance to protest.

"We're getting this finalized as quickly as possible. When I say it's yours, it's yours. This was your grandfather's dying wish, too," Evelyn said, looking thoroughly satisfied.

Afraid Raelynn might refuse.

She invoked the late Grandpa Yves once more.

Raelynn could tell that the elder generation of the Yves family genuinely loved her down to their bones.

They, too, had been victims of the tragedy all those years ago.

After a moment of careful consideration, Raelynn said gently, "There are a lot of things I haven't fully processed yet. I don't want to be someone who just holds out her hand to take your gifts without living up to your expectations in return. Let me think about it, and we can discuss it later. Is that okay?"

If the confrontation with Sylvia and Sierra hadn't happened today, she might have handled this differently.

But today's events had shifted her entire perspective.

Evelyn opened her mouth to argue, but finally let out a soft sigh. "Grandma understands. You're a good girl. It's okay, take all the time you need. This estate is written into mine and your grandfather's wills anyway. It belongs solely to you."

She despised empty promises.

True love meant tangible actions.

Raelynn blinked.

She was genuinely caught off guard.
