Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 969
"Chlo?" Derek called out.
As Chloe stared at his face, her mind flooded with memories of their youth. Derek used to be an incredibly brooding person.
He rarely spoke and hated being around others.
His eyes had always been devoid of life, looking at the world with absolute apathy.
Having suffered tremendously in her own family, she had related to him. She understood his darkness. Derek had been brought into the Davenport family as a teenager, but he had been aggressively ostracized.
His mother had been deceived.
His father was a notorious playboy. During a business trip to Sutton Fields, he had an accident in the mountains and was rescued by Derek's mother. Her family was simple and kind, and she had been stunningly beautiful. His father fell for her, and they eventually fell in love.
But at the time, his father had hidden the fact that he was already married.
The survey project took a month.
Against a seasoned womanizer, Derek's innocent mother never stood a chance.
Afterward, his father left and was never heard from again.
But by then, she was already pregnant with Derek.
In those days, having a child out of wedlock invited brutal societal scorn.
His mother had refused to believe the man wouldn't return for her. She waited for months, but even as her belly swelled, he never showed up. Crushed, she finally realized she had been abandoned.
But the trauma didn't end there.
The endless gossip and insults caused her own father to suffer a stroke from the stress, leaving him paralyzed.
With nowhere to turn, she gave birth to Derek, but suffered a severe hemorrhage during labor that ruined her health. Paired with severe depression, their entire household was constantly shrouded in misery.
Derek grew up surrounded by insults and judgment.
He was deliberately bullied and isolated because of his illegitimate status.
It wasn't until he was fourteen that the Davenport family discovered his existence and came to retrieve him. Only then did his family learn that the man had been married all along.
His mother, already severely depressed, lost the final shred of hope that had kept her going for years.
She passed away just days later.
Instead of her lover's return, she had only received a death sentence.
A young Derek was dragged into the Davenport family.
But even there, he was treated like a freak.
He remained an outcast, isolated by his own blood.

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!...
