Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 773

Zella spotted Raelynn first.

Her heels clicked against the marble floor as she turned. Her gaze swept past Ian before she casually greeted Raelynn, "What a coincidence. Do you live here?"

Raelynn hadn't expected to run into her.

"No, just looking at properties today."

"A marital home?" Zella guessed immediately, shifting her attention to Ian. "Mr. Hudson. It's been a while."

She had met Ian in passing before.

They were at least acquainted.

Ian offered a polite nod. "Ms. Davenport."

Raelynn wasn't surprised they knew each other. High society was a small, insular circle. People in their tax bracket had countless opportunities to cross paths and exchange business cards.

"So, are you house-hunting for the wedding?" Zella pressed, clearly intrigued.

Raelynn hesitated.

Ian answered for her. "Yes. The real estate here is quite impressive."

Zella arched an eyebrow. "Well, it seems your taste aligns perfectly with Sebastian's. He recommended I live here, too. I just closed on a place yesterday on the 33rd floor. What about you two?"

Sebastian—

Raelynn caught the casual familiarity in Zella's tone.

It sounded like they had hit it off and grown quite close.

Raelynn looked at Ian.

"The 32nd floor," Ian replied evenly.

Raelynn remained silent.

That settled it.

No matter how spectacular this condo was, she wasn't going to live here.

With Zella right upstairs, Sebastian would inevitably be visiting all the time. The sheer awkwardness of that scenario was out of the question.

She despised unnecessary drama.

And she had zero desire to run into him on a regular basis.

"Well, that might be a little awkward," Zella said, not bothering to sugarcoat it. She looked directly at Raelynn. "Living right on top of each other... I don't mind, but what about you and Sebastian?"

Raelynn met her gaze coolly. "What about me and him? Do you think we're going to rekindle some old flame?"

Zella's eyes narrowed slightly.

Then, she let out a soft laugh. "Raelynn, I really find you fascinating."

The floor plan and the interior design were exactly Raelynn's style.

However, she didn't offer any opinions. She wasn't actually going to step into the role of the Hudson family matriarch, so these decisions were entirely up to Ian.

"Do you like it?" Ian asked.

"It's nice. As long as you like it," Raelynn replied automatically.

Ian watched her wander aimlessly around the rooms. She looked less like a woman picking out her dream home and more like someone just keeping him company.

He stood behind her for a moment. "It's close to Lily's school, and it's zoned for the best elementary school in Kingsford. The middle school is within a three-mile radius too. What do you think about the convenience?"

Hearing that changed things.

A subtle spark lit up in Raelynn's eyes.

"That is very convenient. It's actually perfect," she admitted. She had always prioritized good school districts, but in the past, she simply didn't have the financial means to afford a location like this.

The suburban estates felt a bit too isolated.

They wouldn't offer the same ease of transportation as the city center.

Seeing that he had successfully piqued her interest, a faint smile touched Ian's lips.

He turned to the realtor. "Walk us through the layout again, along with the surrounding amenities. Also, let me know if there are similar units in other buildings within this complex. If everything checks out, we can sign the paperwork today."
