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."
