Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 404
Whatever memory surfaced, it clearly wasn't a pleasant one.
Arthur's brow furrowed tightly.
A shadow of distress crossed his frail face.
Sebastian immediately stood up and lowered the bed. "It's alright, you don't need to think about it. Just get some rest."
Arthur was in his nineties, and his mind was often clouded. Sebastian wasn't going to force an answer out of him.
Once her grandfather closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.
Raelynn set down the strawberries she was holding.
"Step outside."
Sebastian grabbed his jacket and followed her into the corridor.
At this hour, the hallway was completely deserted, save for the occasional overnight nurse bustling by.
Raelynn walked all the way to the end of the hall before turning to face him.
Sebastian stopped, his dark eyes locked onto her, waiting for her to speak.
"What exactly are you trying to pull by coming here today?" Raelynn demanded bluntly.
She refused to believe Sebastian had suddenly been struck by a burst of filial piety and a guilty conscience.
After all, he didn't even care about her; why would he give a damn about her grandfather's well-being?
"Am I not allowed to visit your grandfather?" he countered.
"We're divorced. In what capacity are you visiting? As his former grandson-in-law?"
Sebastian looked at her, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly in an unreadable expression.
Knowing they were entirely incapable of having a civil conversation, Raelynn cut to the chase. "My origins and my family history are my own business. You have absolutely no right to interfere."
Though she could easily guess why he brought it up.
Making small talk with her grandfather meant he had to talk about her. But any other topic would have immediately led to the destruction of their marriage, his infidelity, and the sheer agony he had put her through.
By comparison, digging into the past was a much safer, more presentable conversation.
"You don't want to find your biological parents?" he asked.
"I'm perfectly happy with the life I have."
It was a deliberately impossible demand, a vicious and absolute refusal.
Sebastian understood her stance perfectly.
Or rather, he had known the answer from the very beginning.
Raelynn was fiercely independent, and she almost always responded better to a gentle approach than a forceful one.
But...
There was nothing gentle left between them anymore.
"So there's no room for discussion?"
Raelynn took a deep breath. The agonizing memories of Seraphina and Blanche's monstrous cruelty toward her and her mother violently surged to the surface. A sharp pain stabbed at her temples as the old, buried scars were ripped open all over again.
She practically spat every word. "I will never show mercy to the absolute scum who destroyed my family, treated me like garbage, and threw me into a rural wasteland to rot."
As she spoke of the deepest wounds of her past, her eyes grew rimmed with red.
It was the visceral, lingering trauma of a dark and torturous history.

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!...
