Sebastian didn't feel the slightest obligation to give his wife an explanation.
"Don't worry." Raelynn unconsciously dug her nails into her palms, letting the physical pain anchor her voice. "Once we're divorced, it won't be my problem anymore."-
It was an unexpected reaction.
Sebastian cast a cold glance at his usually compliant wife, noticing a rare edge of defiance in her today.
His eyes remained indifferent. "I don't have the time or the patience to manage your feelings right now."
"If it bothers you that much, get your own lawyer to draft the paperwork."
Seven years of marriage. Forget about love—he hadn't even developed a basic habit of acknowledging her existence. He agreed to a divorce without a second thought.
Raelynn didn't linger. With absolute resolve, she walked past the towering man and headed straight upstairs to pack her belongings.
Sebastian narrowed his eyes slightly, watching her slender figure disappear up the stairs.
However, it only took him two seconds to dismiss her intentions.
He didn't take Raelynn's slightly 'dramatic' reaction seriously.
She had pulled similar stunts in the past just to get his attention.
He never needed to put in the effort to deal with it.
Because Raelynn would always be the first one to back down.
When she realized he wasn't going to respond, she would pretend nothing happened and comfort herself.
It usually didn't even take a few days.
To him, her so-called emotions were utterly worthless.
He casually withdrew his gaze, grabbed his coat, and walked out the door without looking back.
Back in her room, Raelynn stared at the home she had meticulously curated over the last seven years, suddenly unsure of where to even begin.
Right on cue, her phone buzzed.
Seeing that familiar cartoon avatar pop up, her eyes instantly softened.
She tapped the voice message.
The sweet, innocent voice filled the room. "Mommy~ I'm moving to Kingsford next month! We can be together forever!"
Raelynn's eyes suddenly burned.
She tilted her head back, forcefully blinking away the tears.
During their first year of marriage, she never got pregnant because Sebastian was incredibly strict about using protection. One day, she overheard the maids gossiping.
They said Sebastian was likely sterile.
The Croix family had constantly tried to arrange high-society marriages for him, but he rejected all of them, explicitly claiming he would never have children.
As time went on, the rumor that the heir was sterile became an open secret.
And since he and Raelynn had been married for seven years without producing an heir, it only cemented the rumor in high society.
A few years ago, Raelynn actually believed it. She figured it was fine—as long as they lived a good life together, a child would just be a bonus.
But Sebastian always made sure they used protection.
And in the bedroom, his abilities were actually... exceptional.
Even though their relationship was falling apart, she couldn't deny that fact.
But over time, he constantly dodged the topic of kids.
She had eventually started believing the rumors herself.
Until that fateful day—

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!...
