The young nurse snapped her mouth shut, her face flushing with profound embarrassment.
She hadn't expected Raelynn to air out her husband's dirty laundry with such a straight face.-
But then again, it had to be true.
Why else would someone be married for seven years without having a child?
Because of that, she looked at Raelynn with even more pity.
Raelynn hadn't told the truth.
The reality was that Sebastian simply didn't want her to have his child.
On the very first night of their marriage, he had looked at her with eyes like ice and stated, "I am swamped with work and have no time for children. I don't plan on having any. Don't get your hopes up, and don't try to negotiate with me."
Back then, she was understanding. She knew he was genuinely busy.
But now...
Now she finally understood why he was so adamantly against having children.
He was afraid that having a child would upset the woman he actually loved.
The tragic irony was that, just moments ago, she had foolishly considered telling Sebastian about his daughter!
Footsteps echoed again, and she looked up, locking eyes with Sebastian's unfathomable stare.
The man had returned with the hospital discharge papers, looking at her with eyes colder than if she were a ghost.
Had he overheard her little comment about his 'dysfunction'?
On second thought.
So what if he did? She didn't care anymore.
True to form, Sebastian quickly looked away, turned, and walked off without a word.
Raelynn wasn't surprised.
Sebastian had always been like this.
His impatience, his complete apathy, his refusal to waste any energy on her—he never bothered to hide it.
Even if she wanted to pick a fight, it was impossible.
She was left to swallow her frustration day after day, letting it rot in her chest.
She might have had a husband, but she had no one to lean on.
No emotional support whatsoever.
That was one of the main reasons she had secretly given birth to her daughter and raised her behind his back.
As he brushed past her, she finally found her voice. "Let's get a divorce."
"I'll give you three months to sort out the asset division."
Sebastian finally stopped in his tracks.
His long fingers paused as he slowly adjusted his sapphire cufflink. His dark, icy eyes swept over her from head to toe. "Is this just because I took Seraphina to the hospital today?"
Listen to that 'just because'.
He knew perfectly well she'd care, yet he acted like it was nothing.
Raelynn met his gaze head-on, her voice feather-light. "Yes."
She was too exhausted to argue over the details.
And he would never, ever find out about their child.
Sebastian's eyes were completely void of emotion. He didn't care if she was throwing a fit. "You can throw your little tantrums at home, but when you step outside as Mrs. Croix, you know exactly how you're supposed to behave."
That speech was nothing more than him protecting Seraphina's elegant public image.
He didn't give a damn about how Raelynn felt.
Raelynn saw it clearly now. So what if she caught them in the middle of their passionate affair?

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!...
