Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 360
Raelynn didn't flinch away from his stare. The moment the words left her mouth, she watched the man's knuckles turn bone-white as his grip on the lighter tightened.
Sebastian seemed struck by an intense wave of shock. For a fraction of a second, Raelynn watched his pupils constrict.
She found it almost comical.
So Sebastian was capable of feeling something after all.
He could actually be moved by her, though she had no idea what kind of emotion was churning behind those dark eyes.
"What... what do you mean, you had a baby?" Matilda demanded, her grip tightening painfully on Raelynn's shoulder.
Sebastian didn't speak.
But he was waiting for the answer, too.
Raelynn gave a small, indifferent smile, as if she couldn't care less. She let Dr. Quinn's reading hang in the air before saying, "I got pregnant once. But I miscarried. I just never told Sebastian."
The atmosphere instantly froze.
Especially with how casually she uttered his name, hiding such a colossal secret from him all this time.
It added a layer of profound, bitter irony to the room.
"When did this happen?! Why on earth didn't you tell the family immediately when you found out you were pregnant? And how is a miscarriage the same as giving birth?" Matilda was furious. If Raelynn had just spoken up, the family could have given her the best medical care and saved the child!
Raelynn anticipated the heavy skepticism.
She kept her composure, deliberately keeping her eyes off the eerily silent Sebastian.
Even though she could feel the burning weight of his stare.
"Dr. Quinn will tell you," Raelynn said smoothly. "A miscarriage takes a massive toll on a woman's vitality and blood flow. The resulting pulse is practically identical to someone who carried to term. I didn't take proper care of myself afterward, so the physical damage was much more severe."
Dr. Quinn nodded in agreement. "She's not wrong. That concept is well-documented in our medical texts. However, your body took an immense amount of damage. Was this an accidental miscarriage or a voluntary termination?"
That question.
Raelynn still refused to look at him.
Though the tension in the room was suffocating, she detached herself from it.
They brought this upon themselves.
To keep Lily a secret, she had no choice but to construct a plausible lie. If she had stubbornly denied being pregnant, it would have immediately tipped Sebastian off. He wasn't stupid; he would have dug into her past the second she showed any suspicious desperation.
Matilda's emotions were a chaotic mess of anger and relief. She was furious that Raelynn had hidden a pregnancy, but relieved that Raelynn was medically sound and capable of giving them an heir.
She hurriedly began barking orders for the staff to fetch and brew the herbs.
Amid the sudden flurry of activity.
Sebastian sat frozen in his chair, eyes cast downward, his thumb methodically rubbing the battered lighter.
Matilda looked at him with exasperated annoyance, yet unsurprised by his lack of reaction. "What is wrong with you? Your wife suffered through such a traumatic ordeal. We could have had a beautiful baby. The least you could do is offer her some comfort!"

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!...
