Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 772
"Holding onto resentment is just locking yourself in a cage of your own making," Raelynn said, her eyes devoid of emotion. "Things are fine the way they are. If he wants my blessing, he can have it."
She didn't elaborate further.
Instead, she stood up and walked away.
Sierra pressed her lips into a tight line.
She hadn't expected Raelynn to be so unbelievably composed.
Any other woman would have been consumed by bitterness.
Even if she couldn't win Sebastian's heart, she would at least try to sabotage his alliance with Zella.
But Raelynn...
She was completely indifferent.
She was just going to let it happen.
Sierra looked down.
Her grip on her juice glass tightened until her knuckles turned white.
...
The research team at Kingsford University had recently undergone a reorganization, keeping Raelynn swamped with work for a while.
The next time Ian called her, it was to invite her to look at houses for their upcoming marriage.
Raelynn set down a file on raw medical materials. "...Today?"
"Yeah. If you're at the university, I can swing by and pick you up." Ian didn't really leave room for her to refuse, sensing her hesitation.
"Raelynn, are you still upset about the Hudson family's bidding war?"
Hearing him bring it up, she quickly replied, "No, I understand."
She didn't want him to think she was holding a grudge over business tactics. The truth was, she wasn't hung up on the bidding war itself. Rather, she was constantly second-guessing whether she would be able to walk away cleanly after the marriage. The bidding incident had simply opened her eyes to reality.
Ian might not be able to single-handedly fight off the entire Hudson family and the corporate board.
She was terrified that taking her daughter and leaving wouldn't be as simple as he promised.
"I'm on my way. See you soon," Ian said, hanging up.
Raelynn stared at her darkened phone screen.
She massaged her temples.
But...
Ian's eyes darkened.
Regardless of why she was playing along, he wanted her to rely on him. He wanted her to slowly fall in love with him. Once that happened, the initial reason she agreed to this arrangement wouldn't matter anymore.
He hadn't planned on deceiving her about what happened in Seaport City.
But since she firmly believed he was the one who saved her, he felt no shame in using that misunderstanding to his advantage.
He just...
He wanted her. He would explain the rest later.
They arrived at the neighborhood Ian had mentioned.
Raelynn knew this place. It was a famous residential hub for the ultra-wealthy. Not a single unit was under two thousand square feet, and most were expansive penthouses pushing five or six thousand. A price tag in the tens of millions of dollars was the standard here.
It was surrounded by high-end shopping districts, and it wasn't even far from Ian's office at Zenith Holdings.
The realtor guided them toward the elevators.
But as they approached, they ran into a very familiar figure.

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!...
