Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 785
Raelynn yanked her arm, failing to break his iron grip, a spark of irritation flaring. "What does your private life have to do with me?"
That was the absolute truth.
Seeing him and Sierra in such a compromising position had shocked her initially. It felt surreal—after all, Sierra was technically an Yves, making her Raelynn's so-called sister.
As much of a jerk as Sebastian could be, and as much as he mocked convention, stooping to that level was surprising.
But...
She hadn't completely believed what she saw either.
In all the years she had known him, he had never given her a reason to worry about random hookups.
"Nothing to do with you," he echoed flatly, seizing her words.
His tone was unreadable.
Yet in the dim light of the night, the predatory heat in his eyes was enough to make her heart race.
"Raelynn, you've always had a talent for cruel words," he mocked softly.
Realizing she couldn't break free, she gave up struggling and tilted her chin defiantly. "Cruel words? If there was actually something between us, then my words might cut deep. But as you can plainly see, we are nothing to each other. On what grounds are you accusing me?"
She completely rejected his narrative.
He was making it sound like she was the heartless one.
He fell silent for a long moment.
Sebastian narrowed his eyes. "You seemed perfectly relaxed attending my engagement dinner tonight. Not nearly as desperate and frantic as Sierra."
Raelynn laughed. "I was willing to step aside when I thought you were cheating. Now that you've got a legitimate, high-society match lined up, why on earth would I interfere?"
"Right," his lips barely moved. "You never cared."
"Is that a bad thing?"
"It's perfect." He slowly released her slender arm, his voice returning to its usual cold detachment. "Less caring means less baggage. You'll never be weighed down."
It was impossible to tell if he meant it.
Raelynn turned to walk away.
How this would play out...
Nobody knew.
Sebastian didn't rush back inside.
He leaned his tall frame against the railing and lit another cigarette.
He watched the smoke drift into the night air.
He wasn't much of a smoker these days, only indulging when the pressure and weight of his plans felt too heavy.
But tonight...
The curtain was suddenly pulled back. Sierra, having made herself look somewhat presentable, found him with bloodshot eyes.
"Mr. Croix, I've been looking everywhere for you," she sniffled.
Sebastian cast a lazy glance in her direction.
"I never expected this to happen, or for it to ruin your engagement. I don't care what people say about me, I can handle the gossip. But if you truly care about Zella, I can go apologize and try to smooth things over for you." She hugged herself, trembling slightly.

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!...
