Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 361
Sebastian's disdain for Raelynn was an open secret within the family.
He was relentlessly cold to her.
How on earth did he expect Raelynn to willingly give him a child with an attitude like that?
If he just spent a few seconds coaxing her, wouldn't Raelynn throw herself at his feet again?
Instead, Sebastian completely ignored Raelynn, looking at his grandmother. "Have you taken your blood pressure medication yet?"
Matilda knew he was deflecting.
She waved him off in defeat. There was no point in arguing with him!
Raelynn saw Sebastian's total apathy loud and clear. He truly looked as if none of this concerned him. The two exchanged zero words, the emotional chasm between them suddenly widening further than ever before.
Even upon hearing that his wife had suffered a miscarriage, he hadn't shown a shred of initiative to comfort or pity her.
Raelynn couldn't care less about his lack of affection anymore. Her only concern was that her lie had held up and the crisis of Lily's existence remained buried.
Matilda, leaving absolutely no room for argument, forced them to stay the night. She shooed them upstairs to their old bedroom, citing that it was a "beautiful evening to reconnect."
Matilda practically escorted them to the door. As Raelynn stepped inside, she heard the older woman whisper harshly to Sebastian behind her back.
"She's in a highly vulnerable and emotional state right now. Be gentle and intimate with her tonight. Who knows, things might just go smoothly..."
The bedroom door clicked shut.
The heavy silence was broken only by the sound of their steady breathing.
The room was incredibly familiar. For years, this was where they spent whatever time they had together.
Raelynn walked over to the armchair and sat down, fully intending to just wait out the clock until she could leave.
But by pure chance.
The chair she chose faced the window seat where Sebastian had settled.
Suddenly, Raelynn met his cold, shadowy gaze.
He was staring at her.
She couldn't decipher the look in his eyes.
Raelynn figured that no matter how much Sebastian despised her, he would eventually put on a half-assed performance and ask a question or two.
This was exactly why she was so fiercely determined to keep Lily hidden.
She was never going to give him the chance to be her daughter's father.
This was the one, solitary thing she had total, autonomous control over in the suffocating grip of the Croix family.
Sebastian remembered that day.
And he remembered exactly what he had said.
He also remembered the way Raelynn had looked when she stood before him after flying halfway across the globe—her bright, radiant face, those deep, sweet dimples.
As it turned out.
She had endured over ten hours of a grueling flight just to bring him the "happiest news."
He stared at her now, watching as she recounted the story with the cold detachment of a stranger. His features seemed to completely dissolve into the endless darkness of the night behind him.
After a long, agonizing silence, Sebastian finally spoke.
"Then it's for the best."

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!...
