Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 774
The realtor's face flushed red with excitement. The commission on this penthouse would set him up for three years!
Raelynn knew Ian was the one writing the check.
She stayed out of the business talk.
Instead, she wandered through the massive condo, exploring the different wings on her own.
Ian handled the specifics with the realtor. However, a few clauses in the contract needed adjusting, prompting the realtor to step outside to make some calls.
Just then, Ian's phone rang with a work emergency.
He needed to run down to his car to grab his laptop.
He turned to Raelynn. "Keep looking around. If there's anything you don't like, let me know, and we can discuss remodeling it together."
Raelynn nodded.
She continued her walkthrough until she absentmindedly pushed open the door to one of the master bedrooms. Looking at the space, an indescribable weight settled over her.
This wouldn't be where she put down roots.
Her marriage to Ian was transactional. It was supposed to be a mutual alliance—she needed him to secure Lily's custody, and he originally needed her to break his arranged marriage with the Yves family.
Even though, by some twist of fate, she turned out to be the Yves heiress...
Now that Ian was claiming to have real feelings for her, the scales were completely thrown off.
It wasn't a partnership anymore; the nature of their relationship had fundamentally changed.
A headache pulsed at her temples. Her mind had been a chaotic mess lately, and the Hudson family's bidding war incident had set off alarm bells she couldn't ignore. Yet, here she was, stuck in this suffocating limbo.
She couldn't retreat, and she was terrified to move forward.
*Click—*
The front door opened.
Assuming Ian had returned, Raelynn turned around. "Did you want to make this room the master—"
She froze.
Locking eyes with the man in the doorway, a chill shot down her spine. "What are you doing here?"
Sebastian was no longer using his wheelchair; his recovery had progressed significantly.
"Are you set on marrying him?" he asked.
"Obviously."
Sebastian took another step forward. "After the bidding war, didn't you realize the Hudson family isn't as loyal as you thought? Do you honestly believe you matter that much to them, or to Ian?"
He wasn't mocking her.
He was simply stating facts in a calm, rational tone.
A wave of irritation flared inside her. "That is my business, isn't it?"
"Do you think Ian truly had no idea his family was going to submit a second bid behind your back?" Sebastian ignored her defense, dropping a subtle but devastating bomb between them.
His words drained the warmth from Raelynn's eyes. She felt the sudden, suffocating pressure of his interrogation. "What exactly are you trying to say?"
Sebastian kept walking forward. For every step she took back, he advanced, relentlessly closing the distance until Raelynn's back hit the floor-to-ceiling glass window.
He looked down, his gaze slowly mapping every inch of her face.
"Lily's legal custody cannot be tied to the Hudson family."

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!...
