Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 115
After seeing the elders off, Raelynn and Sebastian were the last to leave. The VIP elevator was empty, leaving just the two of them standing side by side.
Sebastian stared at the digital floor display before slowly shifting his gaze to her. "Do you want to go?"
He was asking if she wanted to attend the hotel's couple's event.
Raelynn understood immediately. When a man asks "Do you want to go?" in that tone, it means "I don't want you to." He was going to coax his girlfriend. He was telling her to know her place and back off.
"Sure, why wouldn't I? Grandma told us to go," Raelynn replied smoothly, pretending she hadn't caught his subtext.
She just wanted to annoy him. Why did he get to dictate everything? Was she just a prop to him? Someone to summon and dismiss at his convenience? Even though she had zero desire to play happy couple games, she couldn't resist calling out his blatant hypocrisy.
Sure enough, Sebastian stared at her for a moment before letting out a dry scoff. "If you don't mind, I can allow you to tag along to see someone else with me."
It was painfully obvious who that "someone else" was.
Raelynn's temple throbbed.
Sebastian had seen right through her bluff and effortlessly fired back. He knew perfectly well she would never willingly follow him just to watch him play house with Seraphina.
The elevator arrived. Sebastian stepped out without a backward glance, completely confident she wouldn't follow.
The doors slid shut again. Only then did Raelynn let out a long breath. In just a few short minutes, she felt as though her lungs were being corroded by toxic air. She didn't rush back to her suite, instead heading down to the lobby for a walk, wanting to soak in the holiday atmosphere alone.
Right on cue, a video call from Lily came through. Her beautiful little face popped onto the screen. "Mama! Happy New Year! Am I the first one to tell you?"
Raelynn couldn't help but smile radiantly. "Of course you are, baby."
It was true—the people who actually loved you always cared about being the 'first' and the 'only'. They didn't act like Sebastian, totally indifferent to rumors about her and Tristan.
"Great-grandpa wants to talk to you too, Mama. I'm letting him borrow you for a few minutes!"
Raelynn's smile deepened. "Okay."
Arthur looked great today, dressed in a red suit, looking incredibly warm and approachable. "Sunny, are you eating well? I'm sorry you aren't with me this year. When you get back, I'll make you your favorite pastries, okay?"
Raelynn nodded obediently.
Her phone buzzed. She glanced at it.
Ian Hudson: [Raelynn.]
Ian Hudson: [Happy New Year.]
It was a formal holiday greeting, split into two messages, but it definitely wasn't a mass text since he used her name.
Sebastian happened to be walking past the back of the sofa and caught a glimpse of her screen from the corner of his eye. He saw the name and the message.
"Ian Hudson." In their elite circle, there was only one man with that name.
"You know Ian Hudson?" Sebastian paused, slowing the motion of unbuckling his watch. He sounded surprised. After all, Ian was no ordinary man.
Raelynn didn't appreciate him snooping on her phone. "Sort of," she replied flatly.
"Yeah, just the legal father of my daughter," she thought.

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!...
