Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 436

Raelynn's throat was raw.

But that didn't stop her from biting back.

Sebastian was just degrading her for not being "picky," claiming she'd associate with anyone.

What he thought didn't matter to her.

What mattered was getting that divorce certificate.

She would pay any price for it.

With Lily's custody on the line, there was nothing she wouldn't risk.

Perhaps Raelynn's prickly, unapologetic defiance was too obvious. Sebastian watched her quietly, reading the absolute obsession for that divorce certificate in her eyes.

A desperate need to get it at all costs.

Sebastian's expression remained flat as he slowly stood up. "Get some rest."

He didn't argue with her.

Raelynn wasn't surprised.

Just like in the past, they never really fought.

Whenever her emotions were pushed to the breaking point, whenever she bared her fangs wanting to just let it all out, Sebastian could effortlessly dismiss the tension.

His specific brand of "not caring" smothered their battles time and time again.

But it wasn't just not caring; it was apathy. It was the cold shoulder.

Raelynn stopped paying attention to him.

She closed her eyes to rest.

It was nearly ten at night.

Matilda Croix hurried over after hearing the news.

Sebastian stood in the hallway, looking completely indifferent.

The Matriarch panted with anger. "This isn't like you. Why would you get into a physical fight with him?"

She knew Sebastian's temperament—he was aloof, dismissive of everything.

He never let anyone or anything bother him, so how did it escalate to beating a man half to death?

Furthermore, Sebastian hadn't shown an ounce of affection for Raelynn in all their years together.

Why go this far?

After all this, a rift had surely formed between her and her old friends in the Tanner family.

She had originally planned to withhold the divorce certificate to punish Raelynn, but after what Sebastian said...

-

Sebastian didn't return.

Raelynn didn't care whether he did or not.

She didn't keep the incident from Chloe Hudson.

Early the next morning, Chloe took time off work and stormed into the hospital room.

Seeing the bruises on Raelynn's neck, Chloe burst into furious tears. "That bastard!"

Raelynn shook her head. "I'm okay. There was no real harm done."

"How's that guy from the Tanner family doing now?" Chloe gritted her teeth. "He'd better be dead!"

"I don't know. Sebastian hit him pretty hard. He's probably in bad shape."

"Did Sebastian suddenly grow a conscience? Does he actually still have feelings for you?" Chloe asked in surprise.

Raelynn gave a dry laugh. "It's not about feelings, and he doesn't care. It's just that no man would stand by and watch his ex-wife get assaulted right in front of him. To him, it's a stain on his pride. An absolute humiliation."
