Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 41
Raelynn didn't answer.
It was obvious, anyway.
Sebastian Croix was only ever willing to speak to her when no one else was watching.
In front of others, he always maintained a strict "distance" protocol.
"Did you take your medicine?" Sebastian asked, completely unfazed by her silence.
Raelynn didn't even turn her head. "I took it."
"Liar."
His tone didn't shift at all.
It was the voice of a man who knew her well, yet it lacked any genuine care. He was simply stating a fact.
Raelynn was speechless.
She had almost forgotten.
When they were first married, even if Sebastian didn't love her, he at least had basic decency.
Whenever she got sick, she absolutely refused to take medicine. She would just lie in bed and sleep, barely moving for a day or two, practically hibernating.
That was when he learned about her stubborn refusal to swallow pills.
Once, to get her to take her medicine, he had braved a bitterly awful herbal brew himself. He dragged her out from under the covers while she was still half-asleep, pinched her cheeks between his thumb and fingers to force her mouth open, and made her swallow it sip by sip.
They hadn't even been married for a month at that point.
Afterward, Sebastian had said, "If you actually die during our first month of marriage, people will start whispering that I'm cursed."
Raelynn had never felt an elevator ride dragging on this painfully long.
Sebastian's sudden show of concern made her even more uncomfortable.
"This is a cold remedy from the hospital. Try it." Sebastian casually extended his arm, easily dropping a brown paper bag into her arms.
Forced to catch it, Raelynn frowned. "I don't need it. Thanks."
She truly hadn't expected this.
She had joined those groups when they were newly married, back when she was incredibly happy.
She had just wanted to feel closer to Sebastian's world, since that was his social circle.
But she never posted her face.
Some people knew she existed, but they knew absolutely nothing about her private life.
"If you haven't left those groups, you've probably seen some negative comments about me buying a house for Seraphina."
"Are they wrong?" Raelynn shot back.
Sebastian clearly had no intention of debating right and wrong with her. He looked at her with a calmness bordering on apathy. "I want you to clear the air."
Raelynn thought she had misheard him. "What?"
Sebastian glanced at the elevator display. They were three floors away from the lobby.
"She needs to build connections in elite circles. She'll be appearing on television programs. Her image can't be tarnished, and there certainly can't be any gossip." His dark eyes swept over Raelynn's pocket, where she kept her newly replaced phone.
Then, he simply reached over and plucked the phone from her pocket, catching her utterly off guard while her hands were full.

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!...
