Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 227
After thinking it over.
Raelynn got out of the car anyway. When she and Sebastian filed for divorce, they used a fast-track VIP channel. Even if he wasn't here, she should still be able to get the certificate.
Approaching the window, she slid all her documents across the counter. "I'm here to finalize my divorce certificate."
The clerk glanced at her. "Why didn't the husband come?"
How the hell should I know where he died?
She thought bitterly to herself.
Despite her internal annoyance, Raelynn kept her expression composed. "Please check the system. It should be processed through the VIP channel."
The clerk typed on the keyboard to check.
A moment later, they replied, "Ma'am, your divorce certificate has already been picked up."
Raelynn froze. "By whom?"
"I'm not sure. The system just shows it was processed and collected through the VIP procedure."
Raelynn's stomach dropped violently.
A sudden, terrifying sense of crisis washed over her.
In order to process the transfer of Lily's residency, the relevant departments required absolute proof of her divorce. Without that certificate, she could never become Lily's legal guardian.
Raelynn rushed out of the lobby in a panic.
She needed to go straight to Croix Holdings and demand answers from Sebastian.
But just as she got into her car, her phone rang.
Seeing the familiar landline number flashing on the screen.
A chill shot down her spine, and sudden clarity hit her like a bucket of ice water.
-
After a long absence.
Raelynn drove back to The Croix Ancestral Estate.
Matilda Croix's residence was quite secluded.
She usually didn't like her two daughters-in-law, Jeanette and Brenda Polk, bothering her.
By the time Raelynn arrived.
Raelynn naturally couldn't confess that she was hiding a child.
She gripped the fabric on her thighs tightly. "Enduring it for seven years doesn't mean I have to endure it for a lifetime. There's nothing left between us, so there's no pity in throwing it away. Grandma, you can't force two people together."
"If that selfish, short-sighted answer is all you have to give me," Matilda stared intensely at her, "then I absolutely will not return that certificate to you."
Raelynn had anticipated this exact scenario on her drive over.
Matilda's opposition to their divorce bordered on pathological tyranny.
She just couldn't understand why.
"What will it take for you to give it to me?" Whatever lingering gratitude Raelynn once held for the Matriarch rapidly dissipated.
Her tone grew remarkably frigid.
"Within three months." Matilda leaned back against her pillows. "Conceive an heir for the Croix family, and I will let you go. Otherwise..."
She slowly patted Raelynn's ice-cold hand, her expression entirely benevolent while her words dripped with ruthless venom. "You two used the VIP channel to sneak around my back and get this divorce. So now, I can use that same VIP procedure to have this divorce annulled."
Raelynn's head snapped up.
Her lips pressed into a tight, hard line.

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!...
