Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 228
For a split second, Raelynn thought she had misheard.
Annulled...?
She had no idea the fast-track channel Sebastian arranged could actually be reversed.
She absolutely couldn't accept a scenario like that.
It meant gambling with Lily's entire future.
The old woman was stomping directly on her greatest vulnerability.
The kindness Matilda had once shown her now felt like nothing more than an illusion.
Meeting the old woman's gaze, a cold shiver ran down her spine. "Why are you doing this? Isn't marriage supposed to be our own free choice?"
Displeased with Raelynn's current "disobedience," Matilda frowned. "You have me backing you up. What more do you have to complain about?"
The words made a painful lump form in Raelynn's throat.
It was as if she was the one being ungrateful.
"If you two had gone through the standard legal channels, I wouldn't have been able to reverse it. Consider this a second chance." Matilda's expression softened slightly. "Last time, my condition was for you to have a child before divorcing him. I trusted you and went soft, choosing not to force your hand. And my reward was your deception. Is this how you repay me?"
Raelynn said nothing.
She only now fully understood.
The supposed kindness the old woman had shown her was just the superficial benevolence of a powerful matriarch.
As long as she obeyed, she received fake affection. But the moment she rebelled...
The mask instantly fell away.
"You never actually loved or cared for me that much. What is your real reason for refusing to let us divorce? Besides the fact that Seraphina was formally engaged to Sebastian's late brother, what else is there?"
Raelynn's heart was a pool of stagnant water. She saw right through it.
The Croix family had never intended to give her a choice in the matter.
Yet, there were countless women lining up to bear Sebastian's children.
Matilda chuckled. "You don't need to worry about that."
With that, the Matriarch stroked Raelynn's hair. "Raelynn, I am not a heartless woman. I will give you time to think it over. But you had best not make me wait too long. If I don't see results in your belly within three months, the divorce will be annulled. And I wouldn't mind having a little chat with your grandfather. Elders tend to understand elders, after all."
Raelynn's fists clenched so hard her knuckles turned white.
Matilda leaned back onto her pillows. "I will hold onto the certificate for now. You know full well that under the fast-track system, a replacement cannot be issued, so don't even waste your time trying. Complete your task, and I'll hand it over. Rest assured, I won't reverse it behind your back during these three months."
She cast a sharp glance at Raelynn. "Move back into your marital home as soon as possible. Don't think I'm completely blind to the fact that you moved out a long time ago. What would people think if they found out? Living together is the only way to mend a broken relationship. Don't make me angry."
Hearing this.
A dense, cold sweat broke out across Raelynn's back.
Relief washed over her like the aftermath of a near-fatal accident. Thank God she hadn't rushed to bring Lily to live with her.
Otherwise, the old woman would have undoubtedly discovered her secret.
And now, it was perfectly clear.

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!...
