Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 771
Nobody expected Zella Davenport to be so direct.
She was waiting for Sebastian Croix to give her an answer.
She showed absolutely no intention of letting Sierra Yves's inappropriate interruption end the drama.
It was obvious to everyone that Zella was a woman of decisive action.
She pushed forward fearlessly, never one to shrink back or retreat.
Sebastian remained indifferent, barely lifting his gaze.
He didn't respond immediately.
Sierra glanced at him before pressing on, "Ms. Davenport, in matters like this, the man really should be the one taking the initiative."
If Sebastian wasn't going to make a move, then what was the point?
In her mind, it was simple.
With a personality as cold as his, Sebastian wasn't the type to lay his heart bare for a woman he had just met, let alone confess his feelings right out of the gate.
Chloe Hudson was taken aback by the audacity.
She shot Sierra a look, then turned to Raelynn Ortiz. "Your new stepsister is a bit too naive for her own good. Sure, her questions match her young age, but honestly, she's backing Sebastian and Zella into a corner."
And she was right.
The atmosphere had shifted entirely.
Raelynn glanced at Sierra but remained silent.
Zella narrowed her eyes at the younger woman, though Sierra's face remained a mask of flawless, wide-eyed innocence.
"Ms. Davenport is such an exceptional woman. Why wouldn't Mr. Croix be interested?" someone chimed in, trying to smooth over the awkwardness.
Raelynn silently agreed; it was a perfectly logical assumption.
She looked up to see who had spoken.
The voice belonged to someone standing directly behind Sebastian.
By sheer coincidence, as she looked over, her gaze collided straight with the man's dark, bottomless eyes.
She froze.
Instinctively, she averted her eyes and turned back to her slice of cake.
Sebastian didn't look surprised.
He watched Raelynn detach herself from the situation, acting like nothing more than a casual spectator.
"What do you think?" Zella asked him.
After a long pause, Sierra nodded slowly. "That's true... You've found a wonderful place to land. Besides, you and Ian had a childhood arrangement. Even though it was broken off before, it's clearly meant to be."
Derek Davenport chimed in, "It's practically a done deal."
Chloe didn't like the sound of that and frowned. "Why does he get it so easy? How is Sebastian always so lucky in love, having women throw themselves at him with genuine feelings?"
Noticing her sour mood, Derek reached out and gently pinched her cheek, coaxing her patiently. "Don't pout. If you want to steal their thunder, we can push our wedding ahead of theirs. How does that sound?"
Chloe instantly dissolved into giggles, playfully batting Derek away.
Sierra lowered her head, lost in thought.
If Derek, a member of the Davenport family, thought the engagement was a sure thing...
She twisted the hem of her dress, her eyes flashing with calculation.
Stepping closer to Raelynn, Sierra asked softly, "You were married to Mr. Croix for so many years. Is it really that easy to just let go? Are you truly okay with Ms. Davenport outshining you and walking away with him?"
In Sierra's eyes, a woman who had suffered through a loveless marriage for years shouldn't be so calm.
Her marriage had ended in complete disgrace.
Could she really not hold a single grudge? Was she truly not jealous that Zella was about to reap the rewards of her suffering?
After being neglected for so long, shouldn't she want revenge? How could she hold herself back from ruining his new, perfect romance?

The readers' comments on the novel: Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding
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!...
