Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 238
Sebastian cast a sideways glance at her. "Did she ask you to give me this little hint?"
The question was devoid of emotion, sounding casual, hovering somewhere between a genuine inquiry and a challenge.
Mary couldn't quite read Sebastian's attitude.
But since she had already spoken, she hid her thoughts and replied, "Mr. Croix, I'm a woman too, so I understand how she thinks."
At Mary's answer, Sebastian let out a slow, deliberate scoff.
It brought a touch of human warmth to his usually austere face.
"Go get some rest."
He neither confirmed nor denied Mary's words.
As for the topic of having a child, he didn't show the slightest ripple of reaction.
Mary didn't push the issue further.
Matilda had laid down an absolute ultimatum: the two of them must produce an heir, and her methods were aggressive. Mary figured Raelynn was most likely just taking the easy way out.
A husband like Mr. Croix...
Aside from love, what couldn't he give her?
Wanting both money and affection was honestly just being unreasonable.
Raelynn finished organizing the pharmaceutical approval documents.
The approval conference was the day after tomorrow. Every single step was critical, and she was someone who demanded perfection.
Click—
The door opened.
She turned her head to look.
Sebastian stepped into the room with his long legs. His dark eyes immediately landed on Raelynn sitting at the corner desk. Her black hair was casually clipped at the back of her head, and her small, delicate face was strikingly beautiful even without a drop of makeup.
His gaze lingered on her face for two seconds.
As he passed the walk-in closet, he noticed the neatly stacked packing boxes inside.
Not a single one had been opened.
Nothing hung in the wardrobe, and her personal items hadn't been put in their proper places.
She looked like a perfect, temporary guest.
"If you hadn't stood me up to be with Seraphina, the fast-tracked divorce certificate wouldn't have been forcibly snatched by your grandmother. Now, the Matriarch is giving me two choices: either I have a baby with you, or she annuls the divorce."
Sebastian then leaned casually against the edge of the desk, looking down at her. "And your stance?"
Raelynn looked at him like he was crazy. "If you're given two piles of shit, do you really have to pick one to eat?"
Sebastian was speechless.
He knew exactly what Raelynn's temper was like.
She never let anyone get the upper hand verbally.
Taking advantage of Sebastian's silence, Raelynn grabbed her laptop and stood up. "On this issue, I think the two of us should be a united front. Since you caused this mess, you fix it. I must physically get my hands on that divorce certificate."
Because they hadn't gone through the standard procedures when they filed, it had now become a boomerang.
The constant threat of it being voided at any moment thoroughly disgusted her.
Sebastian didn't respond.
He just kept one hand in his pocket while the other rested on the desk, tapping lightly in a casual rhythm.
His silence made Raelynn overthink, so she emphasized, "Me being here is just a temporary measure to stall the Matriarch. We don't actually need to consider having a baby, and this won't stop you from saving yourself for the woman you love."

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!...
