Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 99
He didn't know much about Seraphina, but he had seen her in quite a few recent news articles and interviews. He clinked glasses with Sebastian. "You're a lucky man, Mr. Croix. I heard Ms. Vance won an international award last year?"
Seraphina had been in a foul mood after Raelynn's thinly veiled insult. Hearing Luke bring up the resume she was so incredibly proud of, her lips curved into a smile. "I was just a participant, not one of the primary researchers."
Raelynn's smooth talking was useless.
Instead of wasting time running her mouth, she should be figuring out how to catch up to her achievements.
What a pity.
Raelynn's worldview was so painfully narrow. All she knew was petty jealousy.
"You're too modest, Ms. Vance. Anyone standing beside Mr. Croix is bound to be exceptional."
Preston couldn't stomach another second of it. He cast a sideways glance. "Ms. Vance truly is... pure and innocent."
Seraphina hesitated.
Was Preston... complimenting her or not?
This time, Sebastian casually shifted his gaze over. "It's rare for you to give a woman such high praise, Mr. Moreno."
Preston was speechless.
Sebastian's words felt incredibly suffocating.
It felt exactly like he was fiercely defending Seraphina, forcibly twisting the comment back into a genuine compliment.
Preston frowned, wondering if he was just overthinking it.
As he pondered.
Luke swirled the wine in his glass.
He looked at Preston, his tone entirely straightforward. "Mr. Moreno, would you mind sharing Ms. Ortiz's contact info with me?"
The moment the words left his mouth, a dead silence fell over the group.
Julian instinctively turned his head to look at Sebastian.
Sebastian slowly raised his eyes, his clear, dark pupils betraying neither anger nor joy.
Even Seraphina couldn't help but frown.
She was shocked and entirely in disbelief.
She was ten million times better than Raelynn. Why on earth was Luke asking for Raelynn's number instead?
Preston paused, the heavy annoyance in his chest slowly dissipating. "Of course. What are your intentions, Mr. Sterling?"
Luke was exceptionally candid, speaking without a hint of hesitation. "I really admire Ms. Ortiz. I suppose you could say we clicked. There's something very special about her."
Luke practically had his interest in Raelynn written all over his face.
Preston was amused.
She tilted her head to look at the man beside her.
Sebastian lifted his gaze, his thin lips parting slightly. "Not at all."
Sharp, decisive, and an absolute denial.
Only then did Seraphina break into a radiant smile.
Sebastian was refusing to let Raelynn even have the slightest association with him.
Preston was absolutely stunned by Sebastian's sheer apathy.
Raelynn had been his wife for seven years!
How could anyone be this coldblooded?!
Julian glanced at Sebastian. Although Sebastian had denied it with a 'not at all', as a man, he could still understand him. He immediately spoke up, his tone deceptively light. "I heard a rumor that Raelynn isn't actually single. Tread carefully, Luke."
Raelynn was still Sebastian's wife, for crying out loud.
She absolutely did not have the right to betray him.
Luke finally frowned. "A rumor?"
"Then I'll just ask her myself."

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!...
