Raelynn stood up with her medical books and walked out just in time to see it.
Sebastian's eyes were lowered, staring intently at the divorce agreement she had signed seven years ago.
She realized he was only just now noticing the little surprise she'd left for him.
Even when it came to a divorce, she had to be the good, accommodating wife, preparing everything perfectly and waiting for him to graciously spare a moment of his busy schedule to review it.
Since he had clearly seen the papers.
She didn't linger for a single second, nor did she say another word. She turned and walked out of the bedroom.
Sebastian watched her leave, his dark brows pulling together slightly.
He picked up the envelope and flipped it over.
The only person in this house who could have left it there was Raelynn.
Just as he was about to open it.
His phone rang again.
Seeing Seraphina's name on the screen, Sebastian didn't hesitate; he tossed the envelope back onto the vanity.
He strode out of the room.
Mary came in, saw the envelope, and looked at Sebastian as he was leaving. "Sir, aren't you going to look at it? Mrs. Croix asked me to remind you to read this."
Sebastian was already swiping to answer Seraphina's call.
His deep voice sounded entirely unbothered. "Put it away for now. It's her stuff; it can't be urgent."
-
Raelynn reached her car.
Just as she opened the door.
She heard hurried footsteps behind her.
Seeing Sebastian walking quickly while on the phone, she figured he had already checked the divorce agreement and wanted to ask if he had any issues with it.
After all, when he signed it seven years ago, he had no idea it was a divorce agreement, so he was completely blind to the terms.
"Did you finish reading the div—"
Before she could finish her sentence.
Sebastian brushed past her.
He hadn't even noticed she was speaking.
She could hear his patient, soothing voice. "If you've caught a cold, just rest. I'm on my way."
For a man as cold as Sebastian to show such incredible patience, she couldn't think of anyone else who would receive that treatment.
The Bentley roared to life and sped off right in front of her.
From now on, she was just Raelynn.
Just Lily's mother.
She would never be an insignificant accessory to someone else again.

Chloe Hudson brought Raelynn breakfast first thing in the morning.
The apartment only had a few of Raelynn's clothes so far; she would have to slowly buy all her household essentials later.
With no pots or pans in the kitchen, Raelynn could only wait to be fed.
While Raelynn was washing up, Chloe scrolled through her social media feed and made a massive discovery.
"Sebastian flew all the way to Southridge last night?"
Raelynn walked over, sat down, and opened a container of soup. "I don't know."
Chloe shoved her phone in Raelynn's face. "Look, Leo Flynn posted this."
Raelynn glanced at it. It was a photo Leo had posted right around midnight.
The caption read: "The lethal power of true love. Miss Vance worked a long day and caught a little bug, and someone got so worried he flew to Southridge overnight and dropped a million on century-old ginseng to help her recover~"
In the picture, a few people were raising their glasses.

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!...
