Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 357
For a split second, Raelynn zoned out.
She absentmindedly reached for the glass pitcher of juice slowly turning on the Lazy Susan.
Just as her fingers brushed the pitcher, another hand beat her to it, lifting the mango juice and moving it out of reach.
Raelynn looked up to see Sebastian placing the pitcher onto a serving cart behind them. He leaned back in his chair, his expression unreadable. "My wife has been married into this family for seven years. You remember everyone's exact preferences, yet somehow forget she is deathly allergic to mangoes?"
It sounded like a casual question.
The nearby staff froze, exchanging panicked glances.
They knew Raelynn was allergic.
But Raelynn held no weight in the Croix family. Her needs were always dead last. Today, Stephen had asked for mango juice, and since no one else objected, they prepped it for the table.
Couldn't Raelynn just drink something else?
The moment Sebastian spoke, the entire table turned their attention to them.
Raelynn was momentarily taken aback. Looking at his flawless, chiseled profile, she saw no real anger. It was as if he was just making a passing remark.
He knew about her allergy, but that was the extent of it—he merely knew.
He was sharp and highly observant. He just happened to notice today and point it out. She couldn't find a shred of real concern on his face, nor any actual displeasure at the family's blatant disrespect toward her.
He was as steady as if he were talking about a total stranger.
It was just a convenient, passing comment. It meant nothing.
It certainly didn't mean he actually cared about her.
During her time with the Croix family, she had always been ignored, her needs forcefully pushed behind everyone else's.
Raelynn was long used to it.
Jeanette smirked. "Sebastian really does dote on his wife."
The second her mother-in-law spoke, Raelynn caught the dripping sarcasm.
Everyone knew she didn't have Sebastian's heart. It was a blatant insult.
But the tragic reality was that despite her sharp tongue, Raelynn couldn't muster a single word to defend her dignity.
Because it was the absolute truth: Sebastian didn't love her.
"Just have the kitchen prepare something else," Matilda waved her hand, treating it as a trivial matter.
Sebastian didn't push the issue. A glass of kiwi juice was quickly brought to the table.
The family split into groups to play cards in the drawing room.
Matilda, however, grabbed Raelynn's arm and looked at Sebastian. "I need you two to meet someone."
Raelynn desperately wanted to leave, but Matilda's grip was ironclad. She had no choice but to follow.
They walked into a side parlor.
An elderly woman with silvery hair stood up with a warm smile. "It's been far too long, my old friend."
Matilda chuckled and nudged Raelynn forward. "Go say hello to Dr. Quinn."
Confused, Raelynn stepped forward. "Hello, I'm..."
Dr. Quinn suddenly seized Raelynn's hand, her fingers pressing firmly against her wrist. "I know, Sebastian's wife."
Raelynn instantly realized Dr. Quinn was taking her pulse, and her technique was...
Her heart slammed against her ribs. She immediately tried to yank her hand back.
But Dr. Quinn tightened her grip, letting out a surprised hum. "Your body..."
"You've given birth before?"

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!...
