Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 424
Raelynn could see it clearly—the brazen fearlessness of a woman who knew she was unconditionally favored.
Seraphina clearly had no intention of giving Raelynn a chance to lash out. She brushed past Raelynn and walked out.
Practically skipping toward the man waiting patiently for her outside.
Raelynn stood rooted to the spot for a long time.
It wasn't until Preston called her phone.
That she finally gathered her emotions and headed downstairs.
There was nothing they could do about the Keystone situation.
They had absolutely no way to stop Seraphina from becoming their upstream supplier.
By the time Raelynn exited the building, Sebastian and Seraphina were nowhere in sight. Sometimes, she really wanted to rip Sebastian's chest open just to see how his heart worked. How did he always manage to slide the knife into the exact things she cared about most?
Preston was clearly deeply troubled by the ordeal as well.
He asked her, "Should I drop you off at home first?"
Lost in her own thoughts, Raelynn was about to answer.
Her phone rang.
Still distracted, she answered without checking the caller ID.
"Raelynn, when are you coming home?"
Matilda Croix's cryptic voice echoed through the speaker.
Raelynn snapped to attention.
She pulled the phone away to look at the number.
It was the landline from the house she shared with Sebastian.
Grandma was at their house right now.
Raelynn pressed her lips together. "I just got off work."
"Good. Hurry back then. Grandma is waiting for you."
Matilda's sudden ambush added another layer of frustration. The day's events had already dragged Raelynn's mood to rock bottom, and now she had to deal with this.
Raelynn shot Sebastian a complicated look. The Keystone incident today had undoubtedly dealt her a heavy blow.
Running into each other now meant navigating a minefield of buried resentment and raw tension.
"Raelynn, is work really that busy?" Matilda immediately voiced her disapproval the second she saw her. "If both you and your husband are always working, how do you expect to manage this household and your plans for a child?"
Raelynn walked over. "Yes, there's been a lot going on recently. I've had to work a lot of overtime."
That was her excuse for rarely coming home.
Matilda slapped her hand against the table. "This is completely absurd!"
"Sebastian runs a massive corporation; it's unavoidable for him. But you, Raelynn, shouldn't be pushing yourself like this. What's wrong with staying home and resting? Your priority needs to be the Croix family. You'll have to take maternity leave once you're pregnant anyway, so you might as well just quit your job right now."
Raelynn felt an inexplicable urge to laugh, and she didn't hold back. "Grandma, we've basically finalized our divorce. Are you seriously suggesting I quit my job for him?"
Why was it always the woman expected to sacrifice her life and burn herself out for the family?
Even if her career wasn't on the same scale as Sebastian's, what gave them the right to demand she abandon it?
Matilda sensed the sudden, sharp edge in Raelynn's demeanor. She hesitated for a moment before scowling. "But a promise is a promise. Do I need to remind you both of our deal?"

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!...
