Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 776

Ian was walking right toward them.

The two men found themselves face-to-face in the narrow hallway.

Ian's usually stoic, handsome face instantly hardened. "What is the meaning of this, Mr. Croix?"

Sebastian stepped past him, his eyes carrying a frosty chill. "No need to be so paranoid, Mr. Hudson. If I wanted to compete with you, I have plenty of ways to do it."

He didn't linger.

He walked away without looking back.

It was as if the explosive argument he just had with Raelynn was nothing but a fleeting illusion.

Ian's eyes darkened with suspicion.

He turned to Raelynn. "Why was he here?"

Raelynn swallowed hard, her throat painfully dry. She couldn't help but remember Sebastian's taunt: *Do you think Ian truly had no idea his family was going to submit a second bid?*

And then, his terrifying warning about securing Lily's custody.

"He went to the wrong floor. He was looking for Ms. Davenport."

Raelynn didn't give Ian the full story.

Ian didn't push it. With only one floor separating them, getting off on the wrong level was possible—but for a man like Sebastian Croix? Highly unlikely.

Still, he wasn't going to call her out on it.

Instead, he said, "This place might not be the best fit after all. Should we look at a different neighborhood?"

He phrased it as a question.

But Raelynn heard his final decision loud and clear. He didn't want to live here anymore.

Because living here meant running into Sebastian and Zella.

Even though she genuinely liked the condo, he would rather uproot their plans than deal with the proximity.

Raelynn understood perfectly, and she wasn't going to argue.

She looked at Ian and nodded. "Whatever you think is best."

As they turned to leave, Ian cast one final, cold look toward the elevator.

...

Sebastian turned to leave. "Yes."

Zella froze.

She fully expected him to shoot back a ruthless, emotionless 'No.'

After all, he seemed completely detached from Raelynn despite years of marriage, acting as if the institution meant nothing to him. She genuinely believed a man of his status was incapable of handing his heart over to anyone.

But his answer...

She stared at his broad back as he walked away.

Recovering her composure, she called out, "The banquet next week is when our families officially announce the engagement. Like it or not, we're going to be together."

Sebastian didn't break his stride.

He headed downstairs.

Pausing for a moment, he tilted his head back, glancing up toward the floor above.

Then, he pulled out his phone and made another call. "We need to meet. It's about Raelynn."
