Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 781
Sebastian's gaze turned somber as he slowly turned around, locking eyes with Sierra, who had just walked in.
Surprised to find him changing, a soft flush crept up her cheeks. She quickly averted her gaze and stammered, "Mr. Croix, I'm so sorry. I knocked, but I didn't realize you were dressing..."
Sebastian's eyes were devoid of emotion.
He shot the girl a brief, indifferent glance before calmly rebuttoning his shirt.
"If you were truly sorry, you would leave right now."
His voice possessed a natural, icy edge. It sounded unintentional, yet carried a faint, inexplicable hint of mockery.
Sierra pressed her lips together and curled her fingers into tight fists. "I didn't mean to. I know it's inappropriate for us to be alone in here, which is why I left the door open." She pointed toward the ajar door.
Sebastian didn't even blink, simply taking a seat on the sofa. "Clearly, you're here for a reason."
His tone was unhurried, exuding a relaxed indifference.
Sierra finally turned back to face him. Looking at him with wide, doe-like eyes, she hesitated before murmuring, "Actually, I came on behalf of my sister. Raelynn and I just found out that today is the day you and Ms. Davenport are announcing your engagement. She was caught off guard and naturally a bit heartbroken. So, I came to ask you about it."
Sebastian found something amusing in her words. The corner of his lips curled up slightly as he met her gaze. "You're helping her? Did she specifically ask you to do this?"
Sierra took a couple of steps closer, her expression earnest. "You probably don't understand women, Mr. Croix. We have our pride. We hate bowing our heads to the people we care about. Today is supposed to be the day you and Ms. Davenport announce your union. Why did you invite Raelynn? Of course she's going to be upset."
"Is that so?"
He lit a cigarette, his tone flat.
He neither agreed nor disagreed.
Sierra bit her lip, eventually stopping right in front of him. "Why don't you reconsider? You and Raelynn were married for years. If she gets provoked and does something today to ruin the relationship between the Croix and Davenport families, it won't end well for anyone."
"I honestly just want you two to smooth things over." Sierra's lips turned down in a sympathetic pout. Her sweet, innocent face was full of pleading. "I hate seeing her hurt."
The ice returned to Sebastian's gaze.
He crushed his cigarette into the ashtray and stood up.
The cufflink he hadn't secured properly earlier slipped free, clattering to the floor as he moved.
"Let me give you the answer, then. Where Raelynn and I stand today is a mutual decision. Ms. Yves, there is absolutely no need for you to overstep and panic on our behalf."
His tone was frigid.
He felt like an impenetrable steel wall—impossible to scale, projecting an aura of absolute, cutting rejection.
Sierra bit her lip.
"If you insist on misunderstanding me, I have nothing more to say. I won't bother you anymore." She puffed out her cheeks in feigned frustration. Yet, despite her supposed anger, she took another step forward, bending down to retrieve the fallen cufflink for him.

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!...
