Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 439
She opened her mouth, the word 'thanks' right on the tip of her tongue.
Sebastian walked down to pour a glass of water and gave a curt nod. "It seems you have your own unique set of priorities. You're willing to go on a blind date just to secure a divorce certificate, and the second you get it, you ignore your own physical recovery."
His voice was smooth, his words detached.
Just stating the facts.
He leveled a glance at her, his tone questioning. "Is this certificate really more important than your own dignity?"
The 'thank you' died instantly in Raelynn's throat.
Even if Sebastian was just stating the facts, it sounded entirely different to her.
What had happened to her wasn't consensual. It was a deeply traumatic violation.
But Sebastian's "facts" felt like a knife twisting in her gut.
Even a stranger would have offered some comfort, but Sebastian lacked any shred of warmth. His absolute objectivity was just another form of callousness.
Raelynn swallowed her gratitude and threw her armor right back on. "Yes, it is. It's the only thing that proves we are no longer husband and wife, and that gives me incredible peace of mind."
She handed the barb right back.
It wasn't that she lacked dignity; she just wanted to be done with him.
Sebastian fell silent for a beat.
Holding his water glass, he stared at her intently.
She was as stubborn as ever, her face utterly blank. If it weren't for the jarring bruises on her neck, she would have looked even more intimidating.
Instead, she was projecting pure aggression to mask her own fragility.
Sebastian didn't say anything else.
He wasn't going to argue.
Raelynn was equally blunt about why she was there. "I'm moving out. Today."
Sebastian finally looked back at her.
But before he could respond, his phone rang.
The video call chime pierced the quiet room.
He glanced at the screen. Raelynn caught a glimpse too—Seraphina Vance's profile picture.
Sebastian lowered his eyes and walked toward the door, phone in hand. "Fine. You don't need to inform me."
He didn't offer an opinion.
The first one was a link to Twitter.
Chloe called her in a panic. Her first words were, "Lynnie, that picture of you and Sebastian 'kissing' and hugging just got leaked to the media! It's blowing up everywhere!"
Raelynn's heart dropped.
She clicked the link immediately.
The headline was massive.
President Croix of Croix Holdings Remains Deeply in Love with His Wife of Many Years—
The first thing she saw was a high-definition photo.
She was tucked into Sebastian's chest, his hand cupping her face in a tender, soothing kiss.
Even though her face wasn't visible...
Alarm bells screamed in Raelynn's head.
If Lily saw this, she would instantly recognize her own mother!
And then her true parentage...

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!...
