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.
