Chloe nearly choked on her own breath.
Wait.
Was this Jasper's true personality?
She looked at him in horror. "Were you pretending to be serious before?"
Jasper met her gaze. "I maintain boundaries with irrelevant people. That's just having tact."
That wasn't pretending.
Chloe: "..."
Fair point.
"So, choose."
"Can I just not choose?" She tried to put up a final struggle.
"Then BB it is," he nodded to himself.
Chloe: "...Then I guess 'my wife' is fine."
At least it wasn't as uniquely embarrassing.
"Sure," Jasper said as he steered the car onto the road, glancing at her again. "Now it's your turn."
"My turn for what?"
"You should call me 'Husband.' For fairness."
Chloe suddenly realized that Jasper wasn't just a simple, smiling gentleman. He was a sweet-talking predator, completely unapologetic about his advances.
"Jasper, I think we should give each other some space to adapt."
Wasn't this supposed to be a marriage of convenience? Weren't they supposed to be respectful but distant roommates?
"I don't need to adapt. Once I make up my mind, I don't set limits. But if you need space, I'll give it to you," he said smoothly.
Chloe suddenly felt that her usually sharp tongue was losing its edge against him.
As it turned out, Jasper did give her space.
He brought her to his house and pointed to the bedrooms. "You can choose to share a room with me, or take your own room. But let me be clear—if you take your own room, you'd better set a time limit. If a married couple keeps pushing intimacy back, it hinders the cultivation of feelings and isn't conducive to domestic harmony."

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!...
